The UNDER 15’s GREENS played host to Soccer Scholar Academy for their latest league fixture.

A frenetic start saw two very quick goals scored.
First for the Greens, a ball played into the box from Lexi Gray was not dealt with by the SSAs defence with the ball bobbling around, Sophie Lock was quickest to react and headed the ball in the back of net with just 2 minutes on the clock.

From the kick off SSA played the ball forward quickly. Their striker found themselves unmarked with time to pick their spot to put the ball past Izzy Bealing and it was 1-1 with just 3 minutes played.

The game settled down with the midfield and defences of both teams being on top.

Gray and Verity Rutherford controlled the centre of the pitch really well, pressing SSA, breaking up their attacks, and pushing the Greens forward.

Greens edged in front in the dying minutes of the half, a dangerous ball into SSAs box, from Gray wasn't dealt with. First Immy Latter poked a shot towards goal, which was saved but came back to her.
She knocked the ball to an unmarked Lock who scored her second of the match from close range.

Early in the second half, Greens were awarded a penalty for a blatant hand ball in the SSA area.

Immy Watson stepped up to smash the ball high into the net, sending their keeper the wrong way.

SSA pressed really well and applied a lot of pressure to the Greens defence, but Tegan Randall, Tula Busby-Grayer and Phoebe Arden held their own. When SSA did get through, they couldn't find a way past Bealing.

SSA were awarded a free kick on the edge of the area late on, but the shot didn't trouble the Greens goal.

Greens held out for a hard fought 3-1 win to continue their great late season form and moved them up to 2nd place in the league.

The UNDER 14’s REDS conceded a last minute penalty to deny them all three points away to Durrington Raptors.

The UNDER 12’s REDS travelled to New Milton to take on PDC in their first round of the Invitational cup away which ended in a brilliantly contested 4-4 draw.

Finlay Cross made a darting run into the box only to be stopped by a late tackle and winning a penalty which Charlie Malcolm converted making it 3-2.

Special mention to Tristan De-Weymarn, who as stand-in keeper showed great resilience and made some great saves, playing in goal for the very first time.

The UNDER 11’s REDS had a much better performance against Broughton this time out.

The boys were asked to go out and believe in themselves and battle for every ball which they all did to a tee!

Even after conceding they kept their nerve and didn’t let their heads drop, deservedly getting back in the game after some good work down the left Jack Bunt produced a great cut back with his left foot for Dylan Baldwin to score.

Baldwin and Bancroft on loan from the Sunday team helped out throughout the game to cover the Reds who were missing a few with injuries and illness.

As the game continued the Reds managed to start dominating the centre of the park and were winning a lot of the second balls to maintain pressure on Broughton.

Against the run of play Broughtons quick striker broke away and added to his first goal to score his second.

A quick change at the back involved moving the standout Dylan Hopkins into defence to nullify the Broughton counters worked perfectly and the Reds weren’t to concede again.

One truly magnificent save from Toby Longstaff also thwarted the Broughton team and had both sets of supporters clapping!

The Reds came in at half time behind but the boys weren’t deterred and a great through ball by man of the match Dylan Hopkins into Aiden Willets path meant he was clean through and he duly tucked into the corner.

It was end to end for the rest of the game and chances were created but both defences held firm.

The Reds showed that they can match any team in their league if they turn up with the right attitude and determination.

It was a tough day at the office for the UNDER 11’s WHITES as they hosted Atalanta Elite.

Player of the match went jointly to Layet and Austin Field.

In stark contrast the UNDER 9’s WHITES were involved in a rarity at mini soccer - that of a goalless draw against Shipton Bellinger Rams.

Player of the match went to Joe Malcolm for leading by example in defence.

The UNDER 8’s REDS hosted Alderholt Raptors with them continued their preparations for next season with another match on 7-a-side pitch.

Lucy Murphy, Eddie Harris, Sam Kempson all got their name on the scoresheet along with Oscar Watts who scored his 50th goal for the club.

Arthur Knight did very well in defence winning the ball back and then some great skills and footwork to then play forward.

Player of the match this week went to Robinson for her passing, hard work & determination to win the ball back.

The UNDER 7’s REDS had a thrilling end-to-end encounter away at Downton.

The reds dominated in the first half, going into the break with three goals courtesy of a Evie Provan hat trick.

The team seemed to take our foot off the gas in the third quarter though allowing Downton to score a couple of fine goals before Arlo Watts brought up his own 50th goal for the club from close range.

Evan Parkman showed a big improvement, working hard and so took home the player of the match for the first time.

Ethan Glanville run on to a goal kick from Alexander Delgado-Kemp, sprinting past the defenders to place the ball past the keeper for the Whites goal.

PDC responded strongly but the whites were unlucky not to add more goals, with a number of players going close.

Everyone stuck at it and made the game the competitive. Player of the match went to Ryan Burton for some trade mark crunching tackles and a good quarter in goal.

The SATURDAY SENIOR side hosted Comrades A and turned to experience
to overcome the visitors in what proved to be a combative affair.

Paul Green was quick to stamp his authority on proceedings marshalling the back line and winning everything in the air.

Despite rattling the crossbar 3 times, Clarendon found themselves 1 down against the run of play.

Charlie Humber’s fine run of form continued as he equalised just before half time.

Despite the majority of possession Clarendon struggled to find further openings, until Rob King entered the arena.

Calm and composed, he started to boss the midfield. Pressure lead to a corner and a finely struck finish from Will Waters gave them the lead.

King then found Jack Latter, not once but twice who in turn produced crosses for Humber and Waters to complete their brace as saw them run out 4-1 winners

A long goal kick from Mia Roche found Nellie Robinson who beat the last defender in the left to fire across keeper in to far corner. Robinson doubled her tally, after another long ball from Roche.

Roche got her name on the scoresheet as she smashed over the keeper from distance, which was shortly followed by a hattrick of assists and she set Nellie Robinson up for her hattrick.

At the other end, Maisie Hopkins made some great passes forward with Chloe Howle making some excellent saves in goal.

India Morgan was battling hard all over the pitch, she made some excellent tackles and important tackles and passes.

Elsie Tinne then fired in her first goal of the game, and her second followed as she smashed the ball in from the left hand side to earn herself a very well deserved brace.

The team move of the game came when Roche made a great tackle, she passed to Chloe Howle, who ran down the line to pass forward to Elsie Tinne who perfectly squared to Robinson unmarked in the middle for her fourth goal of the game.

Two rockets finished the game off for the greens, one was a well placed Roche free kick, and the other was from player of the match Lilly Davies who struck from distance, and her thunderous effort tore through the Durrington defence leaving the keeper without a chance.
