Under 9's match
reports |
|
Friday night saw the rangers play
Cardiff's west Glamorgan development team on a freezing night at the lido
Astro turf,
playing against a strong wind we found ourselves 4-0 down,
we brought it back to 4-2 playing with the wind with 2 goals
from Elliot Lawrence and then in the 3rd 1/4 we scored a
great team goal finished neatly by Dylan Agar, the last 15
mins seen us attack all out to get the equaliser but Cardiff
broke away twice before Joel Elliott's shot was deflected in
at the end to make it 6-4. Brandon Cooper won the man of the
match award, there were very good performances from Thomas
Hughes, Ben Staton, Jack Tallamy, Kurtis Davies and goalie
Dan the man Jenkins.
Straight back into it on Saturday morning against a feisty
Glyncorrwg team who left our players knowing they had been
in a physical match, despite this the boys and Emily came
out on top with goals from Emily Fisher, Joel Elliott,
Thomas Hughes, Brandon Cooper, Daniel Jenkins, Dylan Agar,
and a goal set up for Jack Tallamy by Brandon which was
the most un-selfish piece of play I've seen by an 8 year
old.
Elliot Lawrence picked up the man of the match award
and 2 goals, the only one not to score was Kurtis Davies
who made at least 5 of the teams goals. 9-0.
Croeserw 2-4 Colts
The Colts played at nowhere near their full potential for
30 minutes, in this time Croeserw took a well deserved 2 goal
lead, Croeserw could have scored further goals, but excellent
defending from Bradley O'Brien and Man of the Match Sam
Willington held Croeserw from further goals.
In the final 10 minutes
the finally found their rhythm after a well struck double from
Adam Williams, Goals followed from Jackson Davies and
Joseph Collins.

Under 9's Colts match
report |
The Rangers travelled to Cwmavon and continued their fine run with 8 of the
9 players getting on the scoresheet, Ben Staton hit the pick of the goals
with a 20 yard lob, Kurtis Davies scored 1 and curled another in from
distance whilst Dylan Agar and Emily Fisher scored after good individual
runs, Jack Tallamy scored for the second week running, Daniel Jenkins came
out of goals and scored, and the goal machines Elliot Lawrence and Thomas
Hughes got 1 each, the only one not to score Joel Elliott walked away with
the man of the match award. Final score 9-0.
Missing influential coach Neil "sick note" Jones and despite a battling
performance the Colts went down 1-0 to Baglan.
3 goals from man of the match Connor Roberts didn't
stop the Hotspurs going down 8-3 at Corus which is a good performance from
the boys.

Under 14's Colts match
report |
Jordan Harris played in goal
for the first time sat and had a stormer. we stood off them in
the first half and they could have scored one or two more if
it wasn't for Sam Glover and Jordan Doyle shoving their bodies
in front of the ball.
We scored a fantastic 1st
goal which involved Jordan Doyle, Jacob Flynn and a Super
cross from Sam Tucker to Kane Devonald in the 6 yard box to
volley home a perfect move any senior side would be proud
of.
The second came within 5
mins of the 1st in which Kane beat the GK to the ball and
slotted it passed the GK. everyone defended like Trojans and
were well marshalled by Conor Prosser and Calum Beynon. Sam
Tucker may have found a new role as a left back in which he
has adapted perfectly - considering he's been playing RM for
the last 5 years.
The PA coach commented on
Jordan Doyle who again covered every blade of grass on the
pitch. Jordan along with Luke Keogh are beginning to be a
force to reckoned with in the Centre of midfield.
As a coach i am extremely
proud of the boys and long may it continue. They deserve
something out of this season, however small. Technically the
boys are coping with all the sides and this season is a
learning curve. Where we tnd to lose out is mostly to do with
the physical side of the game.
The parents were proud as
punch on Saturday. The pleasing thing was that every player
was exhausted in the changing room after the game. when asked
"did they enjoy it?" every single one said YES they
would rather play in game like that every week.

scored this year. Further goals were scored by Elliot Lawrence 3 Thomas
Hughes 2, Emily Fisher, Brandon Cooper, Daniel Jenkins, Kurtis Davies and
Joel Elliott. Ben Staton and Dylan Agar both had excellent games.

U14 Colt's draw with
Porthcawl |
Porthcawl A 2-2 U14 Colts
The Colts travelled to
Locks Lane to take on the league leaders, and came away with a
point.
They were 1-0 down at half
time, but gaffer Holmsey's half time talk paid off, and they
were level 2 minutes into the 2nd half.
They went 2-1 up with Kane
Devonald's 2nd of the game, it looked like we would take all 3
points but 4 minutes from the end Porthcawl got back on level
terms to make it 2-2.
A terrific performance by
the young under 13's team.

U9 Rangers make it a ton |
U9 Rangers 2-1 Corus
The Rangers hit their 100th & 101st goals of the season
in a great game against Corus and in the process gained
their 10th win of the season.
Corus took the lead early in the 2nd period with a break
away goal and some of our players heads dropped. In the 3rd
period it was plain to see that we wanted to hold on to our
unbeaten record and a fantastic run and cross down the left
wing by Dylan Agar was volleyed into the roof of the net by
Joel Elliott. The game was still evenly matched with Thomas
Hughes, Elliot Lawrence, Emily Fisher and Brandon Cooper all
having 1/2 chances. At the other end Daniel Jenkins made 3
good saves and Ben Staton and Jack Tallamy defended like
lions.
In the final 10 mins you could see the players were well up
for it and man of the match Joel hit a screamer that was
heading for the top corner until the Corus keeper made a
fantastic save, with minutes to go Kurtis Davies beat 2
defenders and fired superbly into the corner to win it for
us

U14 Colt's lose to Rangers |
U14 Colts 0-1 Rangers
It was a highly contested
game as both sides didn't want to lose.
The Rangers were well on top for most of the first half and
Foard Cooksley delivered some menacing crosses into the Colts
Area. Fortunately for us nobody was on the end of them to
convert into goals.
Jack Lewis dished out some
strong challenges in the centre of midfield along with
his counterpart Sean Griffiths.
With the Rangers not having their regular GK in goal the colts
parents thought it would be a formality as the Colts had been
playing particularly well of late.
However, I don't think
stand in GK Ben Thomas had a shot to save in the first half.
The all important game after 25mins. A FK was awarded on our
left and it was swung into the box for Jack Underwood to
produce a glancing header which guided passed Luke Armstrong
in the Colts goal.
The second half was a
totally different story, as the Colts realised that a result
was possible due to the missed chances from the Rangers and
had it not been for Ben Thomas in Goal could have got a draw
from the game.
The colts had chance after
chance with Sam Tucker, Jake Flynn Jordan Harris coming close.
In the second half the Rangers hardly had chances as our
defence was well marshalled with Conor Prosser and Calum
Beynon, who, incidentally created two spectacular tackles in
the second half. Luke Keogh was on his game to shackle Foard
Cooksley also.
On the whole, the Rangers
could have won the game 8-0, but for missed chances they could
have also
lost the game 3-1.
It was an entertaining
game, and if this is the Future of the Afan Lido then I'm sure
people like Phil Robinson can sleep at night knowing that the
Future of Afan Lido is safe with the players coming through
the Junior section. As for years the club has grown it's own
players like a conveyor belt of Talent as well as
Internationals.

U14 Colt's beat Cwmavon |
Cwmavon 1-11 Colt's
On Saturday the Colts
travelled to the Welfare to play Cwmavon.
It was a quiet first 20mins then the goal machine started to
kick into gear.
The score ended up being 11-1. An ugly incident occurred in
the second half which is best forgotten about
and is not necessary in Junior football. The ref handled the
incident superbly and I'm sure the players will be reprimanded
accordingly.
Talk of the game was when
Luke Armstrong came out of goal in place of Jordan Harris and
scored 2 goals.
The players were trying their utmost to get him his 3rd but to
no avail.
Also topic of conversation
was BIRTHDAY BOY JACOB FLYNN scoring a HAT-TRICK. His 13th
birthday was the day before and he had a sleepover which was
conveniently called a stay awake over as I heard through the
grapevine that the boys who stayed there didn't get to sleep
until 6am.
Scorers to follow.

Rangers continue unbeaten run with 1-0 win over Porthcawl 2
the game was a hard fought affair with both sides playing good
stuff but the Rangers came away winners with a well worked
goal from Harri Doran the pass from Jack Hurley was simply
sublime and the finish was just as high quality turning two
players and shooting into the bottom corner.
The colts did not have a game
this week so they had a friendly arranged against Glynneath
they held they're own and played some good football but in the
end the colts lost 5-2 with Glynneath running out worthy
winners a big thanks to them for making the effort to travel
down to a very wet and window Darwin rd

A good weekend for the under 9's |
Team of the week for the under 9's are the Hotspurs who gained
2 great results on Saturday beating Trefelin and our own
colts team both 1 goal to nil, Rogan Heywood got both goals
but as they all played well coach Richard Gullam found it
hard to call m.o.t.m. so they all shared the award. Well
done boys.
It wasn't all bad for the Colts as they then then beat Trefelin
3-1George Jones 2 Matt Smith 1 with George
and Adam Williams getting the Motm awards.
The Rangers travelled to Porthcawl to play their strongest
team and matches against Porthcawl are always really close,
usually being won either way by the odd goal in 5. However
it was plain to see the progression the Rangers have made
this year as they comfortably won 8-0 with goals from man of
the match Kurtis Davies 4, Elliot Lawrence 3 and a Brandon
Cooper 20 yarder.
Great performances from defenders Ben
Staton and Jack Tallamy and goalie Daniel Jenkins ensured a
clean sheet with Joel Elliott and Dylan Agar putting in 100%
covering every blade of grass. The Rangers now need 1
more for their 100th goal of the season.

of the match Ben Staton.
Final
Score 8-0
The
colts and Hotspurs were due to play each other at the Marston
stadium last night but the fixture was called off and
played today. It seems the Colts thought they were still
playing last night as the Hotspurs stormed into a 2 goal lead
with goals from Josh Gammon and Liam Partridge, it wasn't
until late in the game that the colts came into it and 2 goals
from Adam Williams, 1 each for Bradley O'Brien, Joseff
Collins, Mitchell Diveta, and Matt Smith made it safe even
though Liam Partridge and Connor Roberts scored again.

Game today
This was by far the colts best performance of the season,
with some excellent counter attacking football played
resulting in 2 fine breakaway goals from Jackson Davies,
after some fine work by Adam Williams and Mitchell Divetta
in setting up both chances. Margam played some fine
football themselves and were only denied by the impressive Joseph
Poretti in Goals, but could not keep out a well taken
goal just before the break. The second half
produced a fine goal from MOM George Jones and also
Adam Williams finished neatly in a crowded penalty
area.
2nd Game Today
The Colts start very slowly and were under
pressure from the start, with Margam creating some
great chances, but only managing to score one
of them. This was when the Colts started to wake up and
take the game to Margam with some fine all-round
play by Joseph Collins who produced a MOM Performance
which was capped with a fantastic finish to his one goal.
The Colts were spurred on by a strong performance
in the second half from Bradley O'Brien who scored a great
goal, and further Goals followed from Emily Fisher and
Mitchell Divetta.

to got 1-0 up only to go 2-1 down with minutes remaining. That didn't deter the boys and
they kept believing they could get something.
Up popped Jordan Doyle to evade

Under 18's beat Bridgend |
Our under 18's won their 2nd game in the west division when
they beat Bridgend Town Juniors 1-0.
Ellis Harris scored the
only goal of the game just before half time. We made life hard
for ourselves on 70 minutes when we went down to 10 men, when
Conor Harris was shown the red card for violent conduct.
But Lido's 10 men held out
to clam another 3 points.

Under 12 Rangers beat Cynffig 2-1 |
Another win for the Kirk & Geoff's Rangers yesterday against close
rivals Cynffig.
We won 2 - 1 in the end, scorers were
Owen Prydie and Jake Howe.
We took the lead in the
first half when Owen Prydie scored minutes after we missed a
penalty. Jake Howe scored mid way through the 2nd half
before Cynffig scored very late on which made for a nervous
last 5 minutes.
We held on to record our 3rd win of
the season.
Monday night sees us take on Port Talbot at home which as
always should prove a close and exciting game. Will
let you know the score ASAP as I am away till Tuesday night.
