A great opportunity to join our under 16s

⚽️ An exciting new opportunity ⚽️

🎉 🙌 The absolute scenes as Our Westhoughton Rangers under 10s win the amazing Tournament put on by Robin Park FC.

Entering at Europa level there were some good tests for the team and it came down to a penalty shoot out against Soccer HQ from Blackburn in the final after a goalless draw. The players kept their nerve and ended up victorious.

Highlights from the day were screamers from Hattie and Jacob and winning player of the tournament for the Rangers was Sesei who was colossus at the heart of the defence and helped the rangers in only conceding 2 goals in 98 minutes of football.

We have been to a number of semi finals and come up short so to see the team succeed today was an absolute delight.

A massive thank you to Robin Park for arranging an amazing competition. It must take so much hard work and dedication.

‼️ AMAZING NEW OPPORTUNITY ‼️

‼️ Here is an interesting opportunity players to join for our new under 12s ‼️

Today Westhoughton Rangers under 10s faced a very solid Cherrybrook Avengers side in the semi finals of the cup.

It wasn’t meant to be today with a narrow defeat following two kick in goals by Cherrybrook.

We were unfortunately unable to breach the Cherrybrook side with our best chance a fantastic effort by Hattie which was palmed wide.

All the players have been fantastic again this season and everyone associated should be proud of this great group.

Players of the Match.

🏆 Coach Gary gave his player of the match to Christian for some good early saves

🏆 Coach Paul gave his player of the match to Alistair who was defensively fantastic and made sole crucial tackles to keep the opponents at bay.

Good luck to Avengers in the final and we will go again next year.

Today our under 10s faced a strong Ashton Athletic side at home.

The game started tensely and this was a sign of things to come.

Ashton were quick out of the blocks and had an early chance one on one which was well smothered by Christian.

Shortly after this Isaac was denied by a good save from the Ashton Keeper. From the resulting corner the ball dropped to Eddie who laid the ball to the left for Hattie who hit a smart left foot shot. The ball cannoned off both posts and into the net for the lead.

Shortly after this Rangers again had a corner which was lofted in and Noah acrobatically attempted an overhead kick. Really good effort which went wide.

Into the second half the game remained close. Both teams had decent chances forcing smart saves from the goalkeepers but Rangers managed to hold out for the narrow win.

Albert played the central midfield role perfectly and kept to his task all game.

The whole team worked their socks off today with a reduced squad due to the holiday term.

Player of the Match 🏆

🏆Sesei was brilliant in defence. He played solidly throughout and showed some silky skills to go with the clean sheet that he worked tirelessly to gain.

🏆 Eddie was superb getting two goals and three assists. The pick of the e bunch being a smart volley from a fantastic Isaac corner. Once again brilliant at the back also contributed highly to the clean sheet.

🏆 Albert once again was sublime. Scored two and assisted three with the pick of the bunch being his solo goal in the second half. Albert also contributed to the clean sheet with a great goal line clearance.

Player of the match could have gone to any of the 8 players tonight.

Big shout out to Shevington who never gave up and had some good phases of play and very nearly got themselves a few goals but for the resilient defending by the Rangers.
