Friendly - 16th August 2026

Hedon Rangers v Hessle Sporting

It was a warm but drizzly start to todays friendly. The boys were rusty after not playing for a few weeks but it was a close 1st game. Both teams with good chances and some great saves but it was Hessle Sporting who came away winners 0-1. Well played Hessle Sporting!

The 2nd game Hessle came out fast and scored early on. Our boys struggled to make an impact and it was Hessle who went on to score another 2 in quick succession. We still battled on and got a couple of goals back but despite some fantastic saves from our keeper Hessle went on to win 4-8! Well Played Hessle Sporting!

A good workout for what is our first friendly of the 26/27 season. The boys enjoyed it and although the results didn’t go our way, we can take a lot away from today. Some nice passages of play, great saves and well taken goals. They never gave up! Well played boys!

What a day! It was a tough challenge for our boys today and they played some good teams.

Hedon Rangers Tournament 2026 - U8s

It was 24C before we even kicked off! The boys were up for it though and looking forward to their home tournament. Unlike last years, this was competitive and had a knockout stage after the league. Games were 10 minutes, no half time!

Game 1

Hedon Rangers V Costello Rhinos

It was a quiet start and the boys took a while to get going. We managed to break the deadlock though on the half way mark and scored another 2 quick goals to seal the win 3-0. Well Played Hedon

Game 2

Hedon Rangers V Sproatley Hawks

A tough 2nd game. The sun beaming down Sproatley took the lead early and made it hard for us to keep the ball. Unfortunately though it was Sproatley who scored another 2 goals and despite us scoring a penalty near the end it wasn’t enough. 1-3 Well played Sproatley!

Game 3

Hedon Rangers V Thorngumbald Barrons AFC

Looking to bounce back, the boys were upbeat. Thorngumbald again made it difficult for us to keep the ball and gather any momentum but some great footwork and finish saw us break the deadlock. Thorn came at us and 3 great saves from our keeper, we held off for a 1-0 victory. Well played Hedon!

Game 4 -

Hedon Rangers V Cottingham Rangers

The game kicked off and we broke away and scored in the first 15 seconds! A great start to what was a competitive game. Both teams giving their all. After a great shot and taking the lead we went in to score a second, but it was Cottingham who came back with a goal and put us under pressure but a couple of great saves we won the game 2-1. Well played Hedon

Game 5

Hedon Rangers V Hornsea Sporting Tigers

After 3 out of 4 wins the confidence was up and we were passing the ball around nicely. We came close but then Hornsea conceded a penalty and we took the lead. It was all one way after that and we finished the game 6-0. Well played Hedon.

Quarter Final

Hedon Rangers V Market Weighton United

The sun still beaming down, the game kicked off and we scored in the first 30 seconds. Our confidence up we scored again quickly, which gave us a platform and we went on to score 2 more back to back. Market Weighton came back with a goal but we sealed it with another to make it 5-1. Well played Hedon

Semi Final

Hedon Rangers V Thorngumbald Barrons AFC

After our close group game ended with a 1-0 victory we knew it was going to be another tough game. It was Thorn who took an early lead and then the day seemed to take its toll on our boys. We kept battling and never gave up but after a 2nd goal our legs were tired and Thorn made it hard for us and went on to win 3-0. Well played Thorngumbald!

The boys did fantastic today. It was so hot, it was hard enough watching never mind playing! They did amazing keeping hydrated, understanding the importance of this. 6 wins and 2 losses with some great football being played. Some excellent defending and goal keeping too, particularly the tip onto the bar and that power shot! Well played Lenny! 🧤

Great to see all outfield players scoring goals too and Albie getting a nice hatrick in his bagful! Well done Albs!

It was the boys presentation day yesterday at Bert’s Footgolf at Brandesburton. A round of footgolf followed by Ice Cream and slushies!

2 very different halves to this season. The 1st half (Sept - Dec) the boys did so well. Looking confident most games and winning a decent amount of them. Enough to get them moved up to group 1 for the 2nd half of the season (Feb - May).

The 2nd half of the season was a different challenge but again the boys rose to it. They all had to step up! Every week they were playing quality teams who punish any mistake or lapse in concentration. They all really dug in, working their socks off every game. They didn’t let their heads drop when things didn’t go their way and they grew in confidence each week and learnt so much, winning a fair few along the way!

Well done boys we are all so proud of you! It’s great to see you growing as a team and can’t wait to see what is ahead!

Awards are always hard. They all did so well and they all play a vital role in the team!

This seasons 2025/26 awards go to

Well done and well deserved boys!

That brings our Under 8 2025/26 season to an end. With tournament season underway our first run out is our home tournament this weekend! How time flies! 2 years in a flash!

Finally though, I think I speak on behalf of everyone in saying a huge thankyou to the coaches. Not only for your time and effort, but also with the development of the boys both on and off the football pitch. Teaching them what it takes to be a team player!

Also lastly, of course to the back room parents who without all this couldn’t happen!

We go again Saturday! 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

Hedon Rangers V Sproatley Eagles

What looked like a warm sunny morning was deceivingly cold. A freshly cut pitch made for a great playing surface. The boys looked on fire during the warm up so we knew we were in for a great game!

Game 1
The boys made a strong start opening the scores after 2 minutes with a well worked corner, both teams battled well with the game really being end to end. Shortly before half time, a lack of concentration caused Eagles to slip in an equalizer. After half time, the boys came out strong again, hitting the back of the net only a couple of minutes in. The game continued end to end with Eagles bringing it level before full time.

Game 2
Eagles came out looking to score and did within the first minute, the boys maintained their positivity and battled hard, unfortunately luck wasn’t on their side, hitting the post and a goal line clearance from the Eagles. The Eagles scored two more in quick succession with the boys hitting the back of the net just before the half time whistle.

After half time, the boys battled hard and were rewarded with a goal, they continued to press. Eagles remained strong and managed to score again a couple of minutes before the full time whistle.

The boys played really well today, lots of positives to take away today, some lovely passing movements. The boys gave 100% today, chasing down every opportunity and pushing on when they conceded.
Well played Hedon and Sproatley Eagles!

Man of the Match - Stanley 🏆
Another great performance from Stan, he is the Mr Reliable of the team, with complete consistency and the desire to play great football. Rewarded with a goal today for all of his hard work. Well played Stanley!

Were trying to get the postponed game V Bridlington replayed but this game marks the end of the official phase, the boys have relished their time in Group 1. They’ll now look forward to some tournaments and friendlies before we go again in September as U9s!

Matchday 10 - 3rd May 2026

Hedon Rangers V South Cave

Our 1st home game for a few weeks. We escaped the rain but the pitch was wet with the ball zipping fast on the grass. A good 30 minute warm up and the boys were ready to go!

Game 1

It started quite scrappy again with both teams struggling to hold on to the ball. It was a tight first 5 minutes with both goalkeepers making good saves to keep it level. Unfortunately though, an unlucky moment saw South Cave take the lead. They scored another just before half time, with the boys looking a little deflated after a good first half.

The 2nd half and we came out battling again. It was a tight start but unfortunately another unlucky moment gave South Cave a goal, but we didn’t give up. Coming close ourselves a couple of times, it was South Cave though who scored again before full time. Well played South Cave.

Game 2

We started well again and the boys were battling hard! It just wasn’t our day today as a South Cave shot deflected off us giving our GK little chance. A further unlucky moment gave South Cave a 2nd and our heads dropped a bit. We carried on but it was South Cave who looked dangerous still and scored 2 more before half time.

The 2nd half and we still shot out of the blocks but it just wasn’t enough today as South Cave scored again early on. We battled on, never giving up and pulled a deserved goal back. The boys kept going and came close a few times but ultimately, South Cave had too much today and scored 2 more before full time. Well played South Cave.

The boys did great today and we take alot away from it. South Cave are a very good, well organised side. Dangerous up front and strong at the back, it frustrated us as chances were limited. The boys all gave 100% though and never gave up! Both goalkeepers again with fantastic saves and strong hands. Well played Hedon and thanks to South Cave!

Man of the match - Bailey 🏆

Chosen by the opposition, Bailey worked his socks off again! From tackling one second to shooting the next, he was everywhere today. Showed some nice passing and vision and came close a couple of times too! Well played Bailey 🏆

Matchday 9 - 26th April 2026

Elloughton Blackburn V Hedon Rangers

After playing Elloughton in a pre-phase friendly earlier this year, we knew this was going to be another couple of hard fought games. The weather was kind again, no rain or wind. Conditions and pitch were good and it was game on.

Match 1

We started slowly and it was difficult to get the ball down and play. There wasn’t much space with both teams closing down and tackling well. It was a tight, scrappy half with not many chances. We came close by hitting the post but neither team could break the dead lock.

The 2nd half and both teams looked dangerous. It was Elloughton though who scored first with a well taken goal. Our heads dropped a bit and we were under presure for a couple of minutes, until a great strike from outside the box drew us level! This spurred us on and swung the game. After hitting the post we scored again just before the final whistle! Well played Hedon!

Game 2

We started the 2nd game with more confidence and belief. It was us who scored first this time after some great closing down. It was another tight half with both teams battling hard. Chances were limited again but the dedication was there!

The 2nd half was another tightly fought half. Both teams were having chances but ultimately both teams cancelling each other. It looked like we were going to hold on but Elloughton drew level after an unlucky error. We hit the post again before full time but couldn’t find a winner. Well played Hedon and Elloughton

Today was a tough challenge with both teams battling hard for every ball. There wasn’t an abundance of chances in either game but it was another physical test where we had to dig deep. The boys did great and showed again how far they’ve come. Both keepers played their part again with some important saves too! Well Played Hedon!

Man Of The Match -Stanley 🏆

Another great performance! His consistency and desire to win the ball is a real credit. From sweeping up at the back to scoring 2 superb goals, he showed again what he has in his locker! Well played Stanley! 🏆

We go again next Sunday V South Cave!

Matchday 8 - 12th April 2026

Gilberdyke V Hedon Rangers

An early start for our trip to Gilberdyke for a 9.30am kick off today. Weather looked good, pitch looked decent but the wind was howling! After playing Gilberdyke in the Easter Cup on Friday we knew it was going to be a tough morning. We kicked off into the wind..

Match 1

Again, a frantic first couple of minutes saw some good defending. We’d just settled down, and the ball dropped to Gilberdyke and a good long range strike saw them take the lead. Our confidence dropped but we kept battling. With the wind against us, a couple of mistakes and we were punished from distance again, twice before half time after coming close a couple of times ourselves.

Not to be discouraged our boys came out with some fight the 2nd half. It was an even half with both teams showing grit and determination. We defended much better and created some good chances, but Gilberdyke always looked dangerous and it was them who scored again before full time! Well played Gilberdyke

Match 2

Taking some confidence from the last half, the boys went from strength to strength! They came out with purpose and immediately put Gilberdyke under pressure. It was rewarded with a nicely worked team goal and they looked good. The boys were working so hard with great energy. Playing some nice football and the defence standing tall we managed to score another goal just before HT!

The 2nd half we came out a bit slow with Gilberdyke scoring from their 1st attack. From then it was very much a battle. Both teams contesting every ball with both GK making great saves. Unfortunately, Gilberdyke drew level with a few minutes left, it could have gone either way and we came within inches of the post but it was Gilberdyke who nicked just before FT. Well played Gilberdyke.

The wind played a huge part today. They all had to dig deep again in 2 intense, physically demanding games. Some of the defending again was superb and we created some great chances. The team work and communication is improving every week and we couldn’t be prouder of them today!

Man Of The Match - Arthur 🏆

Arthur at his best. Both Friday’s tournament and today he’s showing great bravery and those quick feet getting us out of trouble! - He reads the game so well! Strong in defence and quick in attack! Well played Arthur!

Next weekend we have no game, back on 26th April 🔵🔵🔵🔵

10th April 2026

Leeds Utd Easter Cup

The boys were invited to take part in the Easter Cup tournament at Leeds United training ground today!

It was 2 groups, 6 teams in each. You played 5 group games and then depending on where you finish in your league depends on which cup you play off for. Gold (1st and 2nd), Silver (3rd and 4th), Bronze (5th and 6th). Games were 10 minutes with no half time, and play off games 15 minutes.

The weather was nice, sunny but not too warm and not much wind. There were 4 pitches outside and 2 inside. The inside pitches were larger which did effect the game style but every team had to adapt accordingly!

Game 1

Hedon Rangers V Evolution Acadamy

The boys were excited to get started and came out flying, scoring our 1st goal in the first couple of minutes. This settled us and another quick goal gave us a cushion. Evolution came back at us and got 1 goal with time left for more, but we stood strong. Some brave tackles and great teamwork. Great game. Well played Hedon

Match 2

Hedon Rangers V GOMERSAL & CLECKHEATON

We moved indoor for our next 2 games. With such a large pitch to cover, goals were always going to come from errors or quick counter attacks, and it wasn’t long before we were caught out with a power shot, giving our gk no chance! It was Gomersal who pressed and scored 2 more goals. Our heads didn’t drop though and we managed to get a goal back before full time to end 1-3 to Gomersal. Well played Gomersal

Game 3

Hedon Rangers V Sproatley

Our second indoor game was against our friends at Sproatley Hawks! Again with both teams adapting to the larger pitch, more emphasis was on defending and not letting the other team through, and therefore ending an entertaining 0-0 draw. Both teams had chances, both defended really well with sone great saves and either could have won! Well played Hedon and Sproatley!

Game 4

This match was recorded a 3-0 victory to us as the other team didn’t turn up. This was the same for every team who played them.

Rested and back outside for our final game against our league opponents this Sunday, in a winner takes all game. Winner in the gold cup and loser in the silver cup!

Game 5 - Hedon Rangers V Gilberdyke

It didn’t start well unfortunately. Gilberdyke flew out and was 0-1 in the 1st 20 seconds. At this level, a lack of concentration can be fatal and Gilberdyke pounced straight away scoring another 2 quick, back to back goals. The boys were deflated but kept going with some great tackling. It was Gilberdyke though who scored again. We kept going and did get 1 back before FT and it ended 1-4. Well played Gilberdyke!

We ended up finishing 4th in the group. The boys did fantastic and in the end just missed out on a shot at the gold cup! Our next game was our semi final for the Silver cup!

Hedon Rangers V Boro Rangers Inter

Boro Rangers came out with purpose and scored in the 1st minute. A good side who could move the ball around nicely. The boys legs got heavy and it despite some good defending Boro Rangers scored 2 more before the 10 minute mark. The boys looked tired and Boro Rangers went on to win 6-0. A tough one to take for the boys. Well played Boro Rangers Inter

The last game was a 3rd place play off, losers of each silver cup semi final!

Hedon Rangers V Lindley Moor

Well if the boys weren’t tired last game they were this game. The deadlock was broken by Lindmoor after 4 mins and a quick 2nd goal 2 minutes later. The boys heads dropped a bit but they never gave up. Creating chances ourselves, coming close a few times. Unfortunately though, Lindmoor scored in the 10th minute and our boys were spent. The game finished 7-0 but honestly the boys gave their all!

Not the best way to end the tournament but it was an all round fantasic couple of hours though, and we will take a lot away from today!

It was a tough afternoon. Intense, demanding and of course the occasion! The games were all physical with nowhere to hide and the boys handled the pressure fantastically well.

Playing some good teams, we still showed what we could do, passing the ball around nicely and creating and scoring some good goals. Our defending was fantastic at times too with both GK making vital saves.

More importantly another great experience and more growth for the boys and the team! We go again on Sunday against Gilberdyke!

Well played Hedon 🔵🔵🔵
