Anston rangers u12's vs Brinsworth Whitehall JFC U12's

Well today the lads were already up against it travelling to Brinsworth with a bare 9 players and then the news filtered through....... Max the team captain... obviously had to much sweets (ale) last night and was suffering from a bad stomach and couldn't make it......

Problem..... down to 8 players and the team talk was designed for just that

Skip forward 2 minutes and captain marvel is on his way after a pit stop and feeling better so kick off came and back to a squad of 9.

The lads had their instructions ... keep the momentum going and play for each other and they did just that.

From the first minute they played like a complete team with both Jax and Rory getting some joy down both wings and gaining some ground but just missing that final ball into the box. The pressure continued and it wasn't long before Lucas jumped onto a good pass through and took the ball wide, produced a fantastic cross for Jax to slot home at the far post to make it 1 nil. Lucas then turned provider into scorer latching onto a long kick from Noah in goal which beat the back line and allowed Lucas to take a measured touch and slot home to give us a 2 nil lead.

Chances were coming thick and fast and Max obviously not at 100 % was playing great balls through the back line giving the likes of Rory Jax and Lucas the opportunity to drive towards goal but just not getting the run of the green to add to the tally.

Half time 2 nil to Anston

A few words and no real negative comments as the lads had put a great shift in the first half however we reiterated the importance of the next goal.

I've never seen a group of lads this age listen so much as they started the second half as they finished the 1st and within. 2 mins added to the scoresheet with lucas again picking up a long Noah kick to put us 3 nil up.

This was the turning point of the game and confidence was up. Lucas soon made it 4 nil after capitalising on a though ball that their keeper failed to claim and going round him to tap home and effectively end the contest.

Whilst the scoreline was favourable for Anston Brinsworth did continue to put pressure on and the defence of Leo, Ed and Cameron stood firm to ensure that Noahs goal remained untroubled with some stout defending.

AND THEN..... THE MOMENT..... 6 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Anson win a corner..... Lucas provides a brilliant ball into the box which bobbles about and the player who cottons onto it and fires cooly into the top corner......... JUDE..... ONLY BLOODY JUDE....

This has been the longest of long time coming as this was Judes first goal for Anston since starting 6 years ago and you could see how much it meant to him as the grin was probably visable back in Anston with every player going to congratulate him and the parents going wild. I'm sure he's still smiling.

Max on his sick bed then finished the game off by slotting home from 10 yards to finish off what was a absolute incredible display from the lads and were god value for their 6TH LEAGUE WIN A ROW

This leaves them top of the table 9ts clear and still unbeaten 💪

BRINSWORTH 0 - 6 ANSTON

Our boys played away at Greasbrough today, eager to build upon last week’s draw. They started the match with great teamwork and work ethic. Leo and Lewis took advantage of the space and made some great runs. Corey and Alfie both had near misses with their shots on goal. We built some great momentum but halfway through the half, we conceded a questionable penalty that Greasbrough scored. We didn’t let that impact our work rate and the boys kept working together and pushing the ball forward.

At the end of the first half, we were still trailing 1-0 but by far the more dominant team.

Alfie got us on the score line early in the 2nd half with a goal in the top corner - amazing strike! He wasn’t done yet as Alfie scored again from a corner, bending the ball from the corner spot into the net - an even more amazing goal!

Our boys know they can’t rest on this fragile lead so they kept working hard as a team to generate more scoring chances. Riley had a near miss from a free kick! Michael got in on net from a very determined run and scored to make it 1-3 for us. Alex made a few key saves in the end but that was all the home team could do, final whistle blew and our boys came out on top. It’s the first win of the season so the boys will be glad to get the 3 points, hopefully they will build momentum from this match into next week!

Man of the match goes to Lewis K. Continuing from his form from last week, he’s not missed a beat from his injury and has played very well today, creating chances for himself and his teammates. Congratulations Lewis!

🔵🔴 Anston Rangers vs Woodhouse Juniors 🔵🔴

A fantastic, competitive game to watch today down at Greenlands!

Anston came back from 1-0 down to secure a brilliant 2-1 victory at the final whistle.

The biggest positive today was how everyone stayed focused for the full game and never switched off. The lads made it difficult for the opposition, stayed tight defensively and worked hard for each other throughout. There were also some excellent passages of play going forward, putting into practice the drills and movements we’ve been working on in training.

🏆 Coaches’ Man of the Match – Edward

A great performance from Edward. After conceding the first goal, he showed real resilience, picked himself back up and went on to make some fantastic saves and clear his lines when needed. Great character!

🏆 Parents’ Player of the Match – Josh

An outstanding performance at centre-half. Josh won pretty much everything that came his way, putting in some brilliant headers, tackles and clearances. He kept their attacking players quiet throughout and even got himself on the scoresheet to bring Anston level at 1-1. Fantastic performance!

An excellent effort from all the lads today. Everyone played their part, stuck together and deservedly came away with another 3 points on the board!

🔵🔴🔵🔴 UP THE RANGERS!

The storm from last night brought some windy conditions today. But our boys showed up and were ready to battle. We started the match against the wind and as a result, our kicks were impacted and the opposition’s clearances went a lot deeper than we expected.

The windy conditions created a few chances on goal when the opposition’s keeper fumbled the ball but we weren’t able to capitalize. Tyler, Alfie and Leo had some great chances early on but weren’t able to score. James finally opened the scoring with an amazing shot top bins that the keeper couldn’t reach to. Great effort from Archie and Alfie leading up to James’ goal!

In the second half, we had the wind to our advantage and our boys tried hard to keep the pressure on with great efforts from Caleb and George but unable to build on the lead. The boys battled each other hard and the intensity was high. The opposition managed a scrappy goal to even the score after a quick lapse in concentration. The momentum swung the other way but our boys held on and the match ended 1-1.

Disappointing to not get a better result but it is our first point of the season. They will be hungry next week to build upon this result! Man of the match goes to Leo for his pace and touches on the ball, always dangerous and creating chances for himself and his teammates. Shout out goes to James, Tyler, Alfie and Archie for their physicality and efforts today against a tough opponent. Also George for showing energy as always on the pitch, Caleb and Henry for being solid in defense and a great outing from Lewis, not missing a beat - he was still wearing a sling not too long ago!

Congratulations to Leo and the rest of the team for today!

Our boys were in action today facing the Sheffield Steelers in cup competition. We started off slow and gave away a corner which they snuck a quick goal against us. We tried to shake it off and get back into the game. But the opposition was standing strong and fended off our attacks. The luckily earned another corner and found someone unmarked and the score was 2-0 for them rather quick.

Our boys had a talk at the half to get their game back in shape. We pressed hard and created chances but were unable to get a goal. There was some nice passes and great efforts, but the luck of the bounce wasn’t on our side. As we gambled and pressed up, the opposition countered and got another goal against us to go up 3-0. That is how the game ended. We were giving away space in midfield that led to chances by the opposition and when we tightened up our game in the second half, the opposition held strong and played well to fend us off. It was a better second half but the boys will rue their chances today.

Corey is our man of the match with his effort today, taking on defenders and bravely trying to pe*****te their defensive line. Congratulations Corey!

Unlucky defeat for the Under 14's
Sponsored by David Cox Golf

Taking on Abbey Lane in a midday kick off the hosts started well when Josh struck a 20 yard shot which was well saved.

On 16 minutes after some good end to end play Rupert's great cross found Will B but the ball ran away from him before he could get a decent shot away.
In the same minute a good counter attack saw Rupert hit a long range effort but it was still 0-0.
Two minutes later Henry shot wide before on 19 minutes the visitors took the lead after an excellent move was finished off with a good header.

Finley and Kris had good chances to level things up and Jack made a good save before the break but they went in at half time a goal down.

Whatever was said at the half time break must have worked because straight away a good move fizzled out before Fletcher's effort was saved.

Again on 40 minutes Fletcher was denied, before Dylan shot wide after a good corner.

Jack saved again on 43 minutes, then just minutes later Rupert's excellent run down the right wing was crossed to the back post but Kris put his effort wide.

More pressure saw Kris make a great run down the left and Kobbie had a shot on target on 49 minutes.

Eventually on 51 minutes after a third consecutive corner from Rupert, Riley slotted home to level things up.

Will B then shot wide after good work from Riley.

A corner was won on 57 minutes and Rupert's pin point cross found the head of Josh who buried it into the top corner and put the hosts ahead and rightly so with all the chances in the second half.

Two minutes later though a great through ball was well finished to make it 2-2.

Both teams still wanted the win and unfortunately with minutes left Abbey Lane headed home what was to be the winner.

A great effort by the lads and easily the best they have performed this season so far.

Man of the match was Finley with Parents m.o.m going to Josh.

A two minutes silence took place before the game for Archie of City of Sheffield.
