Match Report 25th April ⚽️ 💙 ✨

Last league game of the season, brilliant weather, fresh cut grass and footballs pumped up they could bounce for miles.

The boys were under the cosh in the initial stages with Scotter having more of the ball and attacking offensively needing a cool calm and collected goalkeeper in Edward to keep them at bay. Counter attacking football was witnessed in those first ten minutes. Seth carrying the ball with slick dribbling, gliding and balance needed Finn to be on scooter to keep up with Seths pace. Seth applied some brilliant finishes with definite improvement seen by the coaches in Seth using his right foot. Shout out to Finn getting in the right positions and communicating his availability to slot the balls home if it came.

The Pumas grew into the game with holding of positional shapes from a defensive stance, knowing when to press and when on the ball getting the ball through the gaps for some brilliant clinical finishes. Todays game was equally as enjoyable to watch for the coaches as the week before and top it off we was able to head to the pub afterwards with the boys and grown ups equally ecstatic!

⚽️Supporters Player
Charlie was back in the team today and didnt we know. Charlie was tenacious, great battling, hold up play, passing through the gaps, dribbling and only hit the post 3 times! Charlie deserved a goal today for his efforts, Charlie brings much more to the team and we all felt this was another great game played by Charlie, well done Charlie up the mariners 👏 👌 👍 .

⚽️Coaches Player(s)
Seth's dribbling skills are on another planet sometimes. The speed Seth can move with the ball had the referee having to shift a gear or two today in the heat. Seth is exceptional every game and brings a high level technical ability to the Pumas. We wanted to celebrate the technical abilities of Seth today, we think very highly of him and his game has developed brilliantly this season. Well done Seth 👏👌.

🏆Oscar H - Early Presentation Trophy - Most Improved Player

I could repeat the reflection from last weeks performance for Oscar but a reflection over the course of the season.
Oscar is a brilliant young person and an important member of the team. Oscar is someone we have known from Sunday sessions needing time and assurance to have a positive experience with football. Oscar at times can find social situations an overwhelming experience and we see the enjoyment he gets from football that helps him overcome this. Oscar is an observational learner and when shown how to practice a technique, a drill he will deliver in a game scenario.

Oscar's tough tackling, no nonsense approach, speed, strength, dribbling and his ability to pick out a pass has shifted him on loads in his football development. Socially Oscar has grown into the group and has made great relationships and we can see he looks happy and enjoying his football. Well done Oscar H massively deserved 👏 👍 👌.

Next weekend the boys are at home for a friendly against Bottesford 10am kick off. Sunday 3rd May 3pm Barton United JFC presentation at the cricket club come down to support the club with raffle prizes to be won!

Match Report 18th April ⚽️ 💙 ✨

The boys were back at there 1st home ground after many months away and a freshly lined pitch for a friendly game against Burton United. The boys were close to full strength with only Charlie missing from the group today.

The boys were out of the traps from the start capitalising with an early lead to settle us quickly. Recent training sessions have worked on movement off the ball and throughballs inbetween the gaps. Todays game was enjoyable to watch for the coaches by being able to watch areas we practice on in training play out in real game situations. The Pumas looked in fine form to say a two week break and no doubt a chocolate filled one the boys looked full of energy. Sequences of passing, decision making, movement and some sublime finishes was a continued reflection of wanting to develop the right way and no let up when the team rotates.

⚽️Supporters Player- Fin sponsored by FMT supporting Cancer Research
Finn was on fire today, playing larger periods in his favoured position up top to begin with... Finn's technical attributes, passing and what we saw a new development in Finn today was his movement off the ball moving forward for the ball to be released upto him before completing a tidy finish. Finn scored a top effort freekick today and played an all round great performance showing good defensive work. We are very happy with Finns development in the last few weeks, most importantly enjoying himself as an important member of our team, well done Finn 👏 👌 👍 .

⚽️Coaches Player(s) Edward sponsored by FMT supporting Cancer Research
Edward mixed it up today playing outifeld and doing a stint back in goal today. Edward shows so much effort, determination every game but today was about confidence boosting. We want all the boys to have good self belief, confidence and resilience as football can encourage all these characteristics. Edward was super today, getting down low making quality saves, good distribution and communication with his team mates. Outfield Edward was in the thick of the action at the other end, Edward was so unlucky not to score today and its only a matter of time. Great game Edward massive player for the Pumas 👏👌.

⚽️ Oscar H - sponsored by Lou’s Clean Sweep
Oscar is currently learning a new position for the Pumas, the coaches have recognised his tough tackling, no nonsense approach, speed, strength and his ability to pick out a pass from his offensive attributes produces a steely performance from Oscar today in defense. Oscar is developing well in this position with the importance of promoting opportunities for all the boys to try different positions adds to the flexible approach we can take in games. Well done Oscar great game today 👏 👍.

A big thankyou to Nicky today setting up and serving the tea, coffee, hot chocolate and snacks for the Barton and away teams this morning massively appreciated!

Next weekend the boys are back at home for the last league game of the season against Scotter JFC 10am kick off.

Match Report 28th March ⚽️ 💙 ✨

The boys were on the road today with an early start at Dunscroft, our sponsor was happy with the 10 minute drive and lie in - not so much for the rest of us. The boys were close to full strength with only Fin missing from the group today.

The boys took the lead early doors, Oscar P's fine form and confidence is great to watch and shows how important confidence supports development and self-esteem building. The shape, movement and passing in the first quarter is a reminder to us as coaches how far the boys have developed. If it wasn't for the brilliance of the opposition goalkeeper it could have been a one sided quarter for the Pumas.

We know how important goalkeepers are in football and this proved in today's game. Both keepers showed fine goalkeeping and it felt we had a goalkeeper wars spin off during the game. We don’t particuarly keep statistics but a rough estimate the Pumas had the most shots on target in today's game, than in any game we have watched and it felt like it maybe just one of those days again.

The remaining quarters continued with the same approach, the Pumas controlling the game but not just able to capitalise on the chances with a feeling of urgency and anxiety in the boys, possibly trying too hard which in turn can create mistakes.
The scoreline didnt reflect the performance but a continued measure of development is volumes. We haven't played many teams who are passing and moving as we are and that is testament to the boys practicing and the resilience to sticking to such principles even if the scoreline doesn't always reflect the result.

⚽️ Supporters Player- Oscar P sponsored by Pampered Physiques With Amelia
Oscar P the main man today ... his technical attributes, turning in tight areas, movement on and off the ball shows his reading and understanding of the game is on another level. Oscar played an all round great performance braking up play, fine passing, brilliant dribbling, close control and scored two quality finishes. We are very happy with Oscars development the last few werks, an important member of our team showing some fine form, well done Oscar👏 👌 👍 .

⚽️ Coaches Player(s) Arthur sponsored by pine Lodge Thornton Curtis
Arthur in goal did a rabona today as a pass and made it look smooth, much to the anxiety of the coaches, he knew what he was doing. Arthur is our main goalkeeper at the moment and he was agile as a cat with some fine saves one in particularly on the line. Good distribution and communication with his team mates. Great game Arthur just keep the rabonas to one or two a game 👏👌.

Next weekend the boys have a well deserved break with Easter approaching. We are back at our 1st home ground Barrow on the 11th April in a friendly against Brigg Town. Just maybe the tea and coffee service maybe back up and running! ☕️

Match Report 21st March ⚽️ 💙 ✨

The Pumas were at home for a 3rd battle with Wright Way Sports, who have been a great team to play against this season. We were not at full strength today with Seth and Oscar H missing from the group.

The coaches discussed in the preparation before the game with the boys that development and progression is how we define the season and on game day to minimise what the end result is, whether we win or lose.

The boys in the first quarter played some of the best passing sequences we have seen from the Pumas this season. Some say it was similar to Argentinas 24 pass goal sequence except we just didnt quite get the goal! The opposition coach told us how unlucky we were in not going a few goals up as they just nicked it at the end of the first quarter to put themselves in the lead.

The Pumas regrouped as they often do showing great resilience and got themselves back into the game. The game was an enjoyable one with end to end play, good passing sequences, individual skill and coach Tom's massive enjoyment of seeing good tackles and battles at all ends of the pitch from both sides.

The boys played a great game again. With the season drawing to a close, we have most definetly seen development and most importantly enjoyment and passion from the boys, well done today Pumas.

Football Supporters Player- Finn sponsored by FMT supporting cancer research.
Finn, the main man today ... his technical attributes, turning in tight areas and releasing the ball at the right time has shown his understanding of the drills we practice spreading the ball into open play created opportunities. Finn played an all round great performance braking up play, fine passing range and scored two quality finishes with inches away from a hatrick. We are very happy for Finn, an important member of our team coming into some fine form, well done Finn 👏 👌 👍 .

Football Coaches Player(s)- Charlie sponsored by Gladwin Bros Farms
Charlie is a kind, softly spoken, funny and highly intelligent young person who happens to be one of if not the best passers of the ball we have in the group. What we liked about Charlie today was his tenacity, determination and the winning of his duels. We spoke before the game to provide assurance the difference between safe tackling and unsafe tackling so Charlie could reduce some of his fears he may hurt someone accidently. Charlie won his battles and as always set us up with great passing and deserved his coaches trophy today 👏👌.

Football Coaches Player(s)- Ruben sponsored by phoeberae.tattoo
we wanted to provide Ruben with a small appreciation today playing outfield and in goal. Ruben is enthusiastic, a team player and tried his absolute best when he was in goal today. Ruben made some great saves (one with his face we may add) and his distribution was brilliant. Well done today Rubes good effort! 👌 💪

Next weekend the boys are away to Dunscroft Warriors - early start 09:30 kick off.
