Under 18's
move a step closer to the title
|
|
The
under 18’s moved a step closer to the league title, without
kicking a ball.
Their
only challengers for the division, Ely Rangers, drew last
night, at Maesteg Park , 1-1
In
fact, at one point, it looked like being even better news –
Maesteg took an 88th minute lead, but had a man
sent off almost immediately and conceded an equaliser in the 3rd
minute of added time.
Lido
have 2 games left (Port Talbot & Ely, both away) and need
a point to make sure of winning the title.

Under 9's
Rangers end season on another high
|
|
Dylan
Agar has certainly found his scoring boots lately, after 3
goals last week he put in a man of the match performance to
add a further 5 to his tally which now stands at 17 for the
season. Further goals from Liam Partridge 2, Kurtis Davies 2,
Bradley "Bob" O'Brien with his first for the rangers
from 15 yards, Ben the beast Staton & Elliot Lawrence.
Jack at the back Tallamy was in total control as usual, Joel
SPIKEY Elliott covered every blade of grass on the pitch as
he's done all season long and despite the 11-0 nil score line
Daniel the man Jenkins proved he's the best under 9 goalie in
Wales with a few smart saves.
This completes the rangers league programme including games
against Cardiff west Glamorgan development and Llanelli
academy where we played 28 games scoring 221 for and conceding
only 24, 6 of those conceded were against Cardiff (who we
beat 5-1 pre season) which we lost 6-4 on the Astro turf
in November which was our only defeat and Llanelli who we beat
6-0 & 5-3 there were 7 goals scored by by our colts and
hotspurs teams against the rangers so the futures looking
really bright for the lido with over 200 scored and only 8
goals concede against our league rivals all year. Providing we
can keep all the players with us we'll be ok as Brandon,
George and Jack, (Swansea) Thomas, Joel, Kurtis, Ben, Daniel,
Elliot (Swansea & Cardiff) and Dylan (Cardiff)
have already been spotted and have been asked to train with
them over the last 18 months. With Bradley, Liam Partridge and
Joseph Collins showing good form WE'RE LOOKING GOOD.
My
thanks to Carl Elliott for all his hard work for the website
during the season giving his boy's the best coverage possible,
and never missed a game the whole season. C U next season Carl
cheers.

Rangers win again
|

A
good 6-0 win up in Glyncorrwg with Dylan Agar getting his
first hat-rick and Liam Partridge a cracking shot that
was unstoppable. Elliot Lawrence got another 2 poachers goals
with the motm award going to Kurtis Davies who worked
tirelessly down the right wing.
We
dominated the game from start to finish with Jack Tallamy,
Bradley O'Brien and Ben Staton all comfortable on the ball at
the back and Joel Elliott and Brandon Cooper dominating the
midfield battle, while Dan the man Jenkins was so quiet in
goals he was able to top up his tan on a beautifully spring Afan
valley morning.

We
took an early lead against Cwmavon with a nice Brandon Cooper
strike, within 5 mins it was 3-0 with Liam Partridge getting
his first Rangers goal and Elliot Lawrence getting the Rangers
200th goal of the season. Cwm came back into the game but good
saves from Daniel Jenkins kept them at bay. Joel Elliott then
popped up with 2 goals 1 a nice header from Elliot's great
cross. Ben Staton and Bradley O'Brien were solid at the back whereas
wingers Kurtis Davies and Dylan Agar put in some great
crosses. Dan and Jack Tallamy went up front for the last 10
mins and both scored. Joel just pipped Brandon for the man of
the match award.
The Colts shared a 1-1 draw with Corus through a Ryan Samuel
goal, Ryan Lovell had the Motm award with good performances
from Sam Willington and Jackson Davies.
Hotspurs then played Corus and went down 2-0 despite a good
performance from Motm Cameron Jervice and good work by Josh
Gammond, Luke Martin and Danny Thomas.
Third game to be played was colts v hotspurs, tackles were
flying in as though it were a Glaswegian derby, Matty Smith
opened the scoring for the colts with Connor Roberts replying.
Chances were then created at both ends with Marcus Smith and
Callum Burgess going close for spurs and Mitchell Divetta and
Joseph Collins for the colts. Iean Peake just pipped Joseph
Camps for the Motm awards there were also good performances by
Joshua Campfield, Brian Lovell,

Rangers
stormed into a 3-0 lead in the first 10 mins against Corus
with great strikes by Kurtis Davies 2 and Joel Elliott. For
the next 2 periods there were chances at both ends but Dan the
man Jenkins made some fine saves and there was good defending
at the back from Jack at the back Tallamy and Ben the beast
Staton.
Liam
Partridge came in for his first game and did well as did
Bradley O'Brien and Dylan Agar. While Elliot Lawrence took an
injury early on.
Corus
managed to pull 2 goals back one with the last kick of the
game to make the scoreline closer than it should have been
after a superb performance by the lads. Brandon Cooper won the
Motm award after dominating midfield, where the game was won.
The Colts went down 10-1 to Porthcawl3 while the consistent
hotspurs drew 0-0 with the other porthcawl2

Rangers lose their 100% record |

A very close game between
the rangers and Porthcawl 3 was won via a great team goal
involving Brandon Cooper, Dylan Agar, Elliott Lawrence,
Joel Elliott and finished by Thomas Hughes. At the other
end Daniel Jenkins was kept busy and made several good
saves, Jack Tallamy, Bradley O'Brien and Kurtis Davies
played well. Ben Staton played his best game of the season
and was just pipped for the man of the match award by
Joel. Porthcawl did their bit to make the game very
entertaining and would be slightly disappointed to come
away 1-0 down but i think the battle and commitment the
boys showed deserved the result at the end of the day. won
1-0
Carl Elliott
This was probably the colts
best performance of the season in the last 30 minutes, with
at least 5 players capable of winning the Man of the Match
Award, which eventually went to Ryan Samuel for putting in a
destructive performance in midfield, which Trefelin found
hard to deal with. George Jones scored a fine goal which
capped an excellent performance from himself, he also set-up
goals for Jackson Davies, who had a candidate for own goal
of the century, but that own goal actually spurred him into
action, to score 3 fine goals at the right end. There was
also fine performances from Adam Williams, Matthew Smith,
Sam Willington and Joseph Collins who capped his fine
performance with a Goal. won 5-3
Neil Jones
Well done to Owain Gullam
getting his first MOM award against a resilient Porthcawl
2 team. Owain was tireless in a midfield which threatened
to over run Porthcawl with Owain, Connor E, Danny, Marcus
and Ryan coming close to scoring. After a period of
sustained pressure Liam P slid a great effort home to give
Lido the lead however Porthcawl did come back with a
period of pressure of their own which cumulated in a goal.
Connor R scored the winner with almost the last kick of
the game with another entry into the goal of the year
competition. After a goal kick that landed at his feet
Connor steadied himself and let rip from 20 yards. the
keeper had no chance. Mention must go to Bryan who made an
excellent save to keep the lead early on whilst Marcus and
Josh G also did a great job filling in for Josh Campfield,
(Get well soon Josh).
Well done again boys, not sure I approve of the chants
"your not as good as our Rangers" but well done any way...

Rangers lose their 100% record |
|
The rangers lost their 100% record after a
superb performance from the hotspurs earned them a draw. Elliot Lawrence and
Joel Elliott put the rangers 2-0 up but great saves by man of the match
Joshua Campfield prevented further goals. A controversially allowed goal by
Danny Thomas brought the hotspurs back into the match and from then on it
was all spurs. Connor Roberts grabbed a deserved equaliser in the last 1/4
and the rangers just managed to hold on for a draw. The smug grin on
watching colts coach Neil Jones could be seen from the moon, while the
chants from the hotspurs players when leaving the pitch were "have a
piece of that fat man and can we play you every week". Well done to the
hotspurs.
A fine performance from the Colts with Goals
scored by Mitchell Divetta, Jackson Davies, George Jones, Adam Williams and a
Double for the returning Emily Fisher who also managed to head the ball
correctly for once. There was also a excellent performance from Joseph
Poretti, Who just missed out on the Man of the Match Award to Matthew Smith,
After he put in a excellent performance in defence and managing to chip
in with 2 Goals.

Good result against Llanelli's academy with

2 Joel Elliott and Brandon Cooper also getting a goal each, Bradley O'Brien
had a super game as did Jack at the back Tallamy, Ben Staton, Kurtis Davies

Rangers v Porthcawl Great team performance from the rangers in
Porthcawl, Brandon Cooper 3 Joel Elliott 2, Kurtis Davies 2 and Thomas
Hughes in an 8-1 win. Jack Tallamy kept a tight ship at the back and Daniel
Jenkins came out of goals to hit one against the bar, Elliot Lawrence
battled on well with Emily Fisher winning header of the year award, Brandon
just pipping Joel for the Motm award.
Colts v Cwmavon
There was some fine football on display from
the Colts, but were denied on numerous occasions by some fine shot stopping,
from the Man of the Match the Cwmavon Keeper. There was also a strong
performance from the Cwmavon Referee, Who allowed the Cwmavon players
to play an aggressive game with no boundaries. This game was very exciting
and there was some fine performances from Joseff Poretti, Bradley O'Brien,
Ryan Samuel and a Colts MOM performance from Joseph Collins.
14/2/09 Rangers v Colts
The only difference in a tight game was the
finishing of the Rangers, with Elliot Lawrence Brandon Cooper and Joel Elliott
all scoring 2 each with Thomas Hughes 1. For the Colts Bradley O'Brien and
Mitchell Divetta scored. Sam Willington stood out for the colts and Ben Staton
for the rangers.
Hotspurs v Porthcawl
Excellent game yesterday by the Hotspurs in
Porthcawl.
A game which we should have scored 5 or 6 but were winners comfortably.
Excellent performances by All players just being edged by 2 mom performances
by Ryan Lovell and Rogan.
Brilliant debut in goal for Josh Campfield who made a excellent full stretch
save that would have been applauded in many premiership stadiums.
Liam Ryan Bowen and Ieuan were all rocks in defence and all passed out of
defence superbly to allow the midfielders Owain and Josh Gammond to exploit
the space they were creating for themselves by their non stop running.
Dylan
Hughes scored a cracking goal in the 1st quarter and showed his worth by
continually tracking back and supporting the rest of the team.
Another special mention goes to Danny who in only his second start has fitted
in well and especially showed in the last 10 the determination that our boys
are displaying as they develop into a very useful outfit.

Under 14 Colt's beat Corus
to progress in cup |
|
The plan between the two
coaches was to postpone this fixture as Corus were without
their regular coach Gerald, but the league demanded
the fixture be fulfilled.
At 0-0 half time the Colts decided to step up the gears.
We went 1-0 up thro' Kane Devonald who casually slotted the
ball passed the ensuing GK. 1-0.
But they
regained all square not long after 1-1 after a quick corner
caught the Colts cold.
With 3 minutes remaining ex Corus player Kyle Morgan followed
up a shot which was saved by the GK
and neatly lobbed into the empty net from 20 yards out.
It was just a matter of running down the clock for the
remaining 2 minutes.
The most important thing in a cup competition is being in the
hat for the next round.
Having not
played for so long over the Christmas period the players are
now starting to regain their fitness and composure more
and more each week.
Unfortunately,
directly after Christmas we were involved in two potentially
winnable Cup competitions in which we didn't do ourselves
justice. In saying that I mustn't take nothing away from the
opposition on both occasions and they thoroughly deserved
their wins.

Under 9's Rangers win
again |
A very good game was some what spoiled by the extreme cold, blustery
wind and heavy grizzling from certain
"supporters" who seemed to know all the rules on
football and was determined to let every one know that they
did.
Back to the football the players played some great
passing football with Kurtis Davies 2, Elliot Lawrence 1,
Brandon Cooper1 and Joel Elliott 1 all scoring. Utility man
Dylan Agar played in defence, up front and in goals and did
well in all positions, Dan the man froze for 20 mins then
came out of goals and did well, Emily went on a few mazy runs, Thomas
went close a few times, Jack was solid at
the back and Ben came away with the man of the match just
pippin Brandon and Joel.
Match reports for
24/1/2009
A good spirited game between the Rangers and Colts where the
only difference between the 2 sides was the finishing of the
Rangers players. 4 goals from m.o.t.m Elliot Lawrence 2 by
Thomas Hughes and 1 each for Joel Elliott, Jack Goal a game
Tallamy and Dylan Agar cancelled out an early George Jones
strike. Bradley O'Brien had the m.o.t.m. award for the colts
with Joseph Poretti, Sam Willington and Adam Williams
putting in good performances. Neil Jones again tried one of
his back handed tricks by playing an extra player and not
saying anything about it! The pleasing thing was there was
no arguments between the players (only the coaches) and the
football on show was good.
After last weeks win the Hotspurs came down to earth with a
4-1 reverse against Cwmavon, Brian Lovell getting the
goal and Iean Peake the M.O.T.M. award.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

The Rangers started really
brightly against Margam B and were soon a few goals up

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.

Afan Lido lose under 13's star to Cardiff City
|
 |
Some
good news has reached the club today in the form of
Joseph Jones has earned a 2 year contract with Cardiff
City Academy. |
This is JJ's 3rd time on
trial and as they say 3rd time lucky.
Joseph will now be rubbing shoulders with the big guns of the
Championship along with ex Lido boys Lewis Holmes and Luke
Fleming.
He is due to
sign tonight at a press conference at the Vale Hotel with
Academy Manager Neil Ardley, Peter Ridsdale and 1st team
Gaffer Dave Jones.
It will be a
blow to lose JJ (who was 2006/07 Player of the Year) as he has
been such an instrumental figure ever since we started junior
football. To lose him to Cardiff City is a massive plus
though.
It obviously
goes to show that the Junior section are doing the right
things in terms of Player Development and sides such as
Cardiff City are recognising that major factor.
We wish JJ
along with Luke and Lewis the very best of LUCK in the future
and obviously hope they will set a little cash aside for the
coach who started off their careers when they make it big
time.

Cole with former Lido youngsters Lew Holmes & Joseph
