MATCH REPORTS WEEK ENDING 09/09/01
The under nines
Panthers got off to another good start against Huncoat Utd with an early
goal from Alex Mack, his third goal in two games! A very competitive game,
both sides had good chances to score in the first half which finished 1-0 to
Panthers. The second half again very competitive but the Panthers let it
slip right at the end of the game to allow Huncoat a well earned draw.
Result 1-1. Another good all round team performance. ( Author Mick Croasdale

Despite
loosing two nil to a very strong Accoutre side the under nines Tigers
put up a brave fight with another solid team performance. They were
under siege for long periods of the game but keeper Joe Birtwell pulled
off some excellent saves to keep the Tigers in it and they were one down
at half time.
Second half sub
Jordan Dunn livened up for the Tigers but they went two down midway into
the second half. A last minute penalty miss by the Tigers could have
reduced the arrears, but the keeper saved and Accoutre got the win they
deserved. ( Author Dave Bower )
In sharp contrast
to the previous week, when the U11's needed to come from behind four times
before overcoming Readstone 7 - 4, on Saturday they beat Clitheroe Wolves
Rangers 3 - 0 at the Memorial Park in a solid team display, with goals from
Referee's Man of the Match Danny Goggins (2) and Ben Lysons. ( Author Des

The under
14s put last week's narrow defeat behind them with a hard fought victory over
Ossy Juniors at Foxhill. Despite trailing by 3-2 midway through the second half,
Rovers dug deep to run out winners by 5 goals to 3. Not surprisingly, Referee's
MOTM was Phil Eatough who captialised on good team work to bag his second four
goal tally of the season. ( Author Mark Pickup )
After a brief spell
away, the U18s returned HOME to Memorial Park. After a well fought game (and
I mean well fought) the U18s ran out easy 7 - 1 winners over Blackburn
Academy. A hat trick from Man of the match Matt Mercer, 2 goals from last
years top goal scorer, Usman Amhed, 1 from Danny Smith and a rare goal from
David Kemp. (Author Chris Rushton)
