FC Bridgewater

A Ronaldo and best collaboration this morning at St Andrews vs North Cheshire.

As the holidays came to an end we had 7 players confirmed on Thursday and 10 players on Saturday morning making substitutions a logistical strategy for coach.
All the players played extremely well scoring some fantastic goals playing some brilliant football.

Alfie J - amazing between the sticks with some absolutely unreal positioning for a 6 year old making some great saves and commanding his box like a pro.

Louis - unreal on defence and carrying the ball forward scoring goals and stopping goals is what Louis does

Jaxson - great performance from Jaxson commanding at the back and looking to bring the ball forward and play his pass to help the team get forward.

James - amazing performance from James again carrying the ball forward scoring some goals and I think he hit the post 3 times.

Alexander - an absolute bundle of energy forwards and backwards Alexander will save the day with a tackle great performance immense.

Alfie Lee - amazing dribbling from
Alfie today a few really good touches going forward and got his reward for playing well.

Rohm - what a player this lad is so good with his feet managed at one point in a tight play to dribble through three players and tap
The ball in

Aaron - unreal of the left can see his confidence growing week on week played amazing with great driving runs

Charlie - what a player forwards and backwards unreal from Charlie getting stuck in all over the pitch.

Arthur - what this player has improved massively working really hard on his touch and dribbling and was fantastic on the press today.

A great showing from best and Ronaldo and a joy to watch and coach. Receiving compliments from
The opposition coach on how nice of a team we had was the icing on the cake

ROUND ROBIN WINNERS!
FC BRIDGEWATER CANTONA U7
What a morning for team Cantona. Going into the tournament we weren't sure how it would go, especially with two key players away on holiday, but the boys stepped up and put in a fantastic performance from start to finish.

Game 1 vs Unsworth Wolves — A brilliant attacking display with Lewie x3, Frankie x3, Saint x2 and Affan x1.

Game 2 vs Collyhurst Inter — A tighter game where the boys showed great character, with goals from Affan, Saint and Lewie.

Game 3 vs Stretford Vics Aces — Another tough battle, but the boys held their nerve to win with Frankie x2 and Simon x1.

Affan was our Man of the Match, showing great confidence and always finding himself in the right positions. Frankie showed his striker instincts, Simon and Saint were relentless on the wings, no one gets past Lewie at the back and Shea as always made some fantastic saves in goal.

Three games, three wins, 15 goals scored and just 5 conceded.

A brilliant team performance and a well-deserved round robin win.

BLACKBURN EAGLES SILVER CUP CHAMPIONS!!! 🏆

A beautiful day in the sun at a great venue and coming away as champions! We made hard work of it and the football on display today wasn’t our best, however the mentality and determination to come away with a trophy can’t be understated. The group games were tough and we didn’t quite hit our stride. We came away from the groups qualifying for the Silver Cup. The Quarter Final was where we did turn it on with some great team moves and pace about our play. Despite going a goal down, we changed the shape and dominated the rest of the game to come away 3-1 winners. The Semi Final was an even contest resulting in a 0-0 and going to pens, winning 4-3 on pens! The final was similarly even with nothing separating the teams at 0-0 again. The lads had to get the job done on pens again and they did just that, coming away 3-2 winners and lifting the trophy. Special shout out to Seb who pulled off an amazing save in each of the penalty shootouts. Well done boys, enjoy it! 🏆🔵⚫️

What a day for FC Bridgewater Cantona at the Five’s Foundation Tournament!
The boys played 9 games in the league phase, only losing 1 and finishing 2nd overall. They then smashed the quarter-final before drawing the semi-final against a team we’d already beaten earlier. Unfortunately, penalties didn’t go our way today, but that’s tournament football and there’s so much to be proud of! The standard of football, passing, movement and teamwork gets better every single week. You can see how much the boys are developing, working for each other and playing some brilliant football as a team. A full day of football, laughs, team bonding and making memories with their teammates -that’s what it’s all about! The reversible kits were a saviour today! Huge thanks to our sponsor for providing them and supporting the team. We really appreciate it! 👏 What a performance from the boys, coach is very proud!

POSTPONED - Due to holiday and attendance.

POSTPONED 🚶‍♂️

At FC Bridgewater we’re always looking for ways to build our club ethos and bring everyone together, on and off the pitch.

That’s why we’re inviting all players, parents and carers to join us for our Rivington Pike Walk on Sunday 23rd August.

To make it even more fun, wear your FC Bridgewater training top and bring a football. Once we reach the summit, we’re going to see if we can set a club (and likely unofficial world) record by having everyone complete 10 kick-ups each at the top of Rivington Pike!

It’s not about who can do the most - it’s about everyone getting involved, making memories and showing what FC Bridgewater is all about.

We’d love ALL teams to be represented.

💙 One Club. One Community. One Challenge.

See you at 09:30 at Go Ape Car Park, BL6 7SB!

⚽ MATCH REPORT | FC BRIDGEWATER U7s v ROSSENDALE U7s 🔵⚫️

On a sunny Saturday morning, Coach James stepped in for Coach Craig, and the Bridgewater boys were fired up and ready to go! ☀️⚽

Alfie was between the sticks and did what he does best — coming off his line with confidence, winning his 1v1 duels and helping the team play out from the back. 🧤👏

Charlie and James started at the back and showed some really neat passing between them, staying calm on the ball before moving it forward to Jaxon and Arthur.

With the warm weather, we made changes every five minutes to keep everyone fresh, with Kate and Henry coming on and making an immediate impact.

It was a brilliant team performance, with every outfield player getting on the scoresheet! ⚽🔥

The most pleasing part was the football we played — good pressing when we lost possession, great movement off the ball and some excellent technical play. The players were looking up, finding teammates, dribbling with confidence and working hard for each other throughout the match.

⭐ Players of the Match: Arthur & Harry ⭐

Both put in fantastic performances and worked incredibly hard for the team from start to finish. 👏

It’s also amazing to see how many of these players have come through the FC Bridgewater Academy and are now out there enjoying their football. Seeing them develop, grow in confidence, make new friends and, most importantly, play with smiles on their faces is what it’s all about! 💙⚽

Another fantastic morning of grassroots football and plenty of development on show.

🔵⚫️ FC Bridgewater — proud of every player! ⚫️🔵

We are looking for someone with a great work ethic and positive attitude. If that’s your footballer, give us a shout.
