Match Report (Sunday 13-9-09) Mynydd Isa

Hello Everyone,

What a beautiful day for a game of football, with our hosts being Mynydd Isa at their home ground of the Argoed Sports Club. We had a full squad to choose from, with the new players settling in very well. I would say we were very unlucky not to take the overall result as the boys played some good football at times with the odd lack of concentration costing us in the end.
Yet again, it's very difficult to fault the commitment and effort of this group of guy's.
We changed the positions slightly and the changes where accepted and very well adapted to.

Well done to everyone!!
Mark

A long time ago, versus a Galaxy far far away...

Lewis (2), Dylan, Sam

"Everyone who remembers how to PASS raise your hands now!
... c'mon... someone? ... anyone? ... no one?"

Oh, look! Whats going on over there?

Ryan defending a throw-in.

A superb shot just clips the top of the bar leaving their 'keepr stranded.

Shame its the wrong Bar!

Kieran, who ran all, day heads off with the ball.

Head tennis!

Defending a corner.

Mynydd Isa whip in another corner.

Ethan gets his foot on the ball as Dylan Lewis and Ellis look on.

This is a football match, not a step class!

Kick IT!

Kieran hopes the referee doesn't notice hit new 'Knee In The Bum' tackling technique.

Ellis tries to distract the Galaxy with his shouts of

"Help my Arm's Fallen Off!!!"

Kieran, Lewis and Dan go for the same ball...

Space guys, look for SPACE!

Ryan shows that his levitation lessons are going well.

Despite the coaches many requests, the new lycra uniforms for the cheerleaders fail to arrive.

(here they are demonstrating their classic, "standing around watching" cheer routine.)

Sportingly Lewis avoids the trip instead of "Doing an Eduardo"

Well played!

Another Galaxy corner is chipped in.

He fell ooooooover... he fell oooooover!!!

err.... another corner!

(I'm running out of things to say about corners!)

Lewis is distracted by The Bells! THE BELLS!

Down to earth with a bump!

FAB Juniors U9s Versus FAB Juniors U8s

Kieran

Filani was a surprise signing for the Under 8s

Head IT!

Will somebody explain to Kieran why Gethin, Ryan and Ethan are dejected.
That's OUR Goal, STOP celebrating!!

New signing Sam misunderstands the coach's fitness regime
and is caught doing press-ups mid game.

Sam takes on three of the opposition.

Hey! How'd it get over there?

I normally manage to get some players and the pitch in the photographs.
But at least i got the ball!

We bundle the ball over the line to score first!

Hey if you want the shirt that badly wait till the end of the game
and Sam will give it to you!

Wide open spaces for the opposition to run into!

Charlie shields the ball with his body.
Can we get him something bigger for the next game?

Outnumbered 3 to 1.

Match Report (06/09/09)

Hi Everyone,

The weekend started with a superb performance against the 'Old Firm' in Flint and Bagillt Colts.
and a 1-0 win for us, was the icing on the cake. It was probably an honest assessment to say that our 'keeper' was man of the match , which also attributed to him being spotted by a scout for Tranmere Rovers Football Club, which will eventually lead to him being offered an invitation to attend their academy for a period of coaching . We also have to congratulate the 'Colts' on their excellent contribution to a brilliant game of football, especially at this level.
The venue, as with the rest of the season, was Flint Town United football ground and it proved to be a successful decision on behalf of the committee to allow the games to take place there. (Keith also had a fruitful day at the helm of the 'Bacon Butty bistro') Back to the game (I'm hungry now) the boys are carrying on were they left off last season, and are still a difficult side to beat, with some fine tuning still to be had in the art of putting the opposition under pressure. I thought the new boy's where excellent in there attitude and patience, they will only get better. And well done to the old boys who are playing consistently well together.
We have also completed the signing of the last player (Promised last week) who, after one training session looks a very promising acquisition. One things for sure, we won't be investigated by FIFA for offering parents 'sweetener's' as signing on fees, as we are down to our last sixpence in the bank account. (I'll check that with Elaine)
We have got a free weekend in the fixture list next time around so, we have a arranged a couple of friendlies. First one up this Friday (11th Sept) is against Flint under 8's and hopefully Sunday (13th Sept) against Mynydd Isa.

See you all Soon
Mark

P.S. Thanks to Kev Loftus for refereeing the games on Sunday...
