Its always good to play tough opposition as Galacticos 8s faced Tavistock from league 1.

While the game was a tough one, Galacticos worked hard and had their chances.

Tavistock were clinical in attack but man of the match Ashley kept them at bay for long periods.

A tough outing for the 14s as they struggled to get into gear playing with a depleted team and 10 players for long periods, as well as having a long time away from the game the momentum just wasn't there.

Galacticos didnt manage to get going and if anything fell further behind with heads dropping.

Good luck to all of our teams.

U8 A - Harry Griffey
U8 R - Jamie Hodgess
U9 - Charlie Oldham
U14 - Harry Mitchell
U15 - Bailey Darch

U7 Athletico
REX WELLINGTON

Sponsored by Student Choice Plymouth

Over the past month, Rex has truly come into his own and established himself as a natural centre back in our 5-a-side team. He’s become a real problem for opposing attackers thanks to his incredible work rate, determination, and fearless approach to tackling.
Rex’s consistency is one of his biggest strengths — he trains hard, is always available for matches, and brings a brilliant attitude every week. He’s well-behaved, passionate about the game, and constantly eager to improve.
We’ve been focusing on helping Rex drive the ball forward from the back, and he’s developing wonderfully in this area. He’s starting to read the game more confidently and is growing into a dependable presence in defence.
Some standout moments this month came against strong sides like Morley Rangers and MAP. Rex took on tough marking duties, sticking tightly to their striker and preventing them from getting shots away or breaking into our box. His hard work to protect the keeper, especially against tougher opposition, shows his growing maturity and understanding of the game.
Well done, Rex — a fantastic month and a well-deserved Player of the Month! Keep up the great work!

U7 Real
OLIVER HOPKINSON

Sponsored by Student Choice Plymouth

Oliver has really come out of his shell and is now flourishing in any role on the pitch. His workrate and effort is clear to see and he's been rewarded with his first goals for the club and a traditional knee slide celebration!

He's a great listener and always willing to learn, plays with a smile, amd supports the team in every way possible.

An amazing November for Oliver, well done!

U8 Athletico
HARRY GRIFFEY

Sponsored by C&F Building and Landscaping

Harry is a great listener in training and matches and always working hard. He has put in some great defensive performances, being strong on the ball and winning it back for the team.

Well done Harry

U8 Real
JAMIE HODGESS

Sponsored by C&F Building and Landscaping

Jamie has shown real grit and determination over November, also contributing some brilliantly taken goals. Playing in a slightly deeper position to accommodate other players in the team, Jamie has brought a different dimension to his play, developing his football IQ to influence the game with clever passes and thoughtful movement. The pinnacle was a superb hat trick in one of our games, where he repeatedly caused problems for their defence. His low centre of gravity, quick feet and fantastic variety of shooting has allowed him to bag 4 goals for the Real over the course of the month. This has prompted an upturn in fortune for the team, where their excellent performances are finally starting to manifest in more positive results.

Well done Jamie

U9
CHARLIE OLDHAM

The Pete Kearney Trophy

Charlie has had a really strong month and continues to impress with his ever-consistent performances on match days.

His pace and eye for goal have helped the team a lot, making him a constant threat going forward and a valuable player all over the pitch. He’s a great character to have around the team — always positive, polite to coaches, parents and players, and always asking good questions to help him improve.

He never complains, just gets on with the job and gives absolutely everything in both training and matches. Even when he starts on the bench, he’s very eager to play and ready to make an impact the moment he’s called on.

Charlie is a fantastic member of the team and a brilliant example to others. Well done, Charlie O fully deserved!

U14
HARRY MITCHELL

Sponsored by Alphabet Signs Plymouth

Novembers Player of the Month goes to a lad who has made huge progress in his chosen position. He pulled off some great saves in Novembers first game of the and made a big impact in that winning fixture, with the lack of games following this due to postponed matches, his effort and performance in training is clear to see, from last season upto now, huge improvements have been made, along side being a Galacticos he strives to consistently improve and this is backed by his extra training he attends. He's polite and respectful to the coaches and his teammates and always sees a positive in his game. His position is a hard one to fill and takes a strong mind and plenty of courage to fulfil it, and he does this with flying colours. He's the young man between the posts, our Number 1 Harry Mitchell

U15
BAILEY DARCH

Without question Bailey is a talented player and brings speed, determination and skill to the team. His influence during matches inspired others to play with confidence and creativity. His calm nature also passes across to team mates.

His ability to take players on with a short burst of pace has enabled him to create and score chances for the team with 5 goal involvements this season there will be plenty more to come from Bailey as the season continues.

Kelliwick Youth Tigers v FC Galacticos

An early Saturday start and a long journey to Callington, but the commitment from everyone was outstanding, arriving with a full squad and great support on the sidelines. The effort was matched by an exciting, high-quality game of football from both teams.

FC Galacticos made a strong start, taking full advantage of the downhill slope. Their passing and movement were impressive, and they created multiple opportunities. Despite some excellent saves from Ralphie.

Defensively, Jenson, Lenny, and Archie showed strength and resilience, putting in strong tackles and staying organized at the back. Cruz delivered another disciplined display, distributing the ball intelligently both wide and through the middle to launch attacks.

Thomas was everywhere his energy levels were outstanding, constantly running, tackling, and adapting to different roles across the pitch. His all round contribution earned him the Manager’s Man of the Match award.

Kelliwick came out with renewed energy, knowing they had the advantage of playing down hill. Charlie O carried confidence into the game, taking on players, driving forward, and providing a few key assists. His link-up with Sacha was excellent, as Sacha produced another hat-trick performance, three well-taken goals, full of sharp movement, determination, and great runs.

Youssef put in a superb shift down the flank, causing problems throughout and earning the Opponents’ Man of the Match recognition.
Charlie F added pace and creativity, beating defenders, delivering dangerous crosses, and working hard both forward and back.
Guilani once again showed his flair, dazzling defenders with skillful feet and smart movement.

The match remained tight all the way through. Galacticos created several chances, especially in the first half and were unlucky not to convert a penalty. But overall, there were plenty of positives and real hunger from every player to get on the pitch and make an impact.

A thrilling game full of goals, effort, and entertainment. FC Galacticos can take enormous pride in their performance. Encouraging play, great teamwork, and lots to build on, no reason to be downbeat. A thoroughly enjoyable match and a fantastic effort from all involved.

MENS

Another cup upset on the cards?

VETS

👑 Last Weekend 👑

With the under 8s Athletico, under 14s, under 18s and vets team all without a game, as well as the postponements of the under 15s and under 7s Real last weekend was a very quiet affair.

8️⃣s Real kindly sponsored by DCS welding and fabrication & in memory of Uncle Bud.

FC Galactico U8s played a round robin tournament hosted brilliantly again by Elburton Villa Youth. The freezing conditions didnt put the players off and in the first game, Real matched the very physical approach from MAP U9 girls. Lots of really combative tackles going in but Real were able to match their slightly older opponents. Phillips-Homes and Dolphin sharing the goal keeping and both showed good technique to keep the game goaless.

With Lamerton again showing excellent work rate and Rogerson and Dobrosnan keeping things tight at the back, Real were able to break through the MAP defence on a number of occasions with Hodgess claiming a hat trick with some brilliantly taken goals. He showed real skill and balance to work his way through some tough MAP defending before regaining composure to finish superbly. A good start to the evenings football. Great attitude and endeavour from both teams played in a competitive but sporting manner.

In the 2nd game, Galacticos faced up against a well drilled and talented Hunters District. With former Galactico Loss pulling the strings for them in midfield, Real knew they were in for a tough game. With things evenly matched, organisation and hard work was key, Knight epitimising this with an excellent work rate and attitude to close Hunter District players down. It was from one of these presses that the ball bounced to Pengelly, who smashed the ball on the half volley into the roof of the net. A really tight and competitive game, excellently refereed by Loss Senior.

The third and final game of the evening brought Real up against a well drilled and skillful Elburton Youth team. With the Elburton players showing some excellent technical ability and positional play, it was tough going for Real. Rogerson again made a series of important and decisive interventions. Both Dolphin and Phillips-Homes made good saves..

An excellent run by a Villa finally broke the Real back line and a sublime finish. Real were not but off and continued to work hard and create opportunities, with two shots squirming along the Elburton goal line. Again, a really good performance from both teams which was a treat for the watching parents and spectators.

A great evenings work for Real, thank you to all the parents braving the very bitter and cold conditions. All three games were a good watch and thank you to the teams involved for their workrate, spirit and application.

And finally, thank you to Elburton Villa Youth for inviting us along again. A really well run evening with great experience for all taking part, all played in a friendly but competitive spirit.

9️⃣s kindly sponsored by Mayflower launderette dry cleaners and

On a very wet morning against strong opposition, the FC Galacticos put in a performance full of effort, resilience and great attitude. After our original fixture was cancelled, it was a valuable opportunity to give the boys minutes in new positions and continue their development.

YMCA were clinical with their finishing, and slightly quicker reactions in key areas proved the main difference. Despite this, the Galacticos worked tirelessly from start to finish and never let their heads drop.

Dunne stepped up brilliantly to cover for Ashley in goal and did an amazing job. Lenton and Reed started strongly at the back with some confident passing. When Nankivell and Mohammed rotated in, they brought great energy, movement and solid defensive moments.

Kearney was outstanding in midfield once again, showing great movement from a corner before striking superbly to score, and deservedly earned the opponents’ Man of the Match award.

Oldham’s determination, battling qualities and clever movement—especially down the left—earned him a well-taken goal and the manager’s MOTM.

Azrazad showed relentless energy and passion throughout, while Facey added his trademark strength and drive. El-Mashwary also produced some nice touches and a solid shift.

With constant rotation in the friendly setup, every player enjoyed good minutes on the pitch and contributed positively.

A tough test, but lots to build on and plenty of encouraging signs from all the boys. Well done, Galacticos!

The mens County Cup Game was a thrilling affair against Tech Surveys. The match was going Galacticos way after the first 45 minutes saw them take a 3-2 lead with goals from Wilson x2 and Cuzner.
