Freddie was on fire, scoring two absolutely amazing goals ⚽⚽, while Bailey added a belta of his own! 🚀

The boys showed fantastic determination and never gave up, fighting for every ball and pushing right until the end. A hard-fought draw that the lads can be really proud of! 👏💙

🏆 Man of the Match: Bailey — chosen by James! ⭐

A great team effort from start to finish. Well done, boys! 👏⚽

⚡️ DERBY DAY! First game of the season! ⚡️

Deerness Valley Thunder 🆚 Deerness Valley Lightning
FULL TIME: Thunder 5–2 Lightning! 🟠⚫️⚡️

What a performance from the boys! Some fantastic football, great goals and plenty of hard work right across the pitch against very close opponents who we train with every week. 👏⚽️

🧡🖤
The boys were looking the part today in their brand-new strips, proudly sponsored by Siblings Nursery at The BIC! A massive thank you for your fantastic support — we’re incredibly grateful! ⚡️👏

⚽️ Freddie – A lovely finish to get us on the scoresheet!

⚽️ Harrison – A beauty of a free kick, sailing over the keeper’s head and into the net! 🎯

⚽️ Bailey – A powerful strike from a goal kick. The keeper got a hand to it, but there was absolutely no stopping it!

⚽️ Archie – Scored directly from his own goal kick! 🤯🔥 Unreal!

⚽️ Louie – A beautiful cross from Harrison, laying it on a plate for Louie to finish into the open net with his left foot. 👌

👏 Zach – Drove forward brilliantly, creating chances while making sure he was always covering his defence. Great all-round shift!

👏 Joaquin – After six weeks away over the summer, he came back with a brilliant attitude and put in a great shift! Winning the ball, driving forward and getting stuck in. 💪

🏆 Man of the Match – It was a very close call, so the decision was left to the parents. This week’s MOTM went to Harrison! Well done keep up the continuous battling & scoring goals!👏⚡️

A proper team performance from start to finish. Every single one of the boys played their part. ❤️⚽️

⚽ Why sponsorship matters ⚽️

💷 Keeps costs down – Sponsorship can help pay for pitch hire, league fees, referees, equipment and insurance, reducing the amount parents have to pay.

👕 Provides kits and equipment – Sponsors can fund match kits, training wear, footballs, goals, cones and other essential equipment.

🏟️ Improves facilities – Money from sponsorship can help clubs maintain pitches, changing facilities and training areas.

👧👦 Gives more children opportunities – Affordable football means more children can participate, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

🤝 Builds stronger communities – Local businesses supporting local teams creates a stronger connection between the club, families and the wider community.

📈 Helps clubs grow – Sponsorship can allow clubs to create more teams, enter tournaments and provide better coaching.

🏆 Gives players a better experience – Having proper equipment, kits and facilities can make children feel valued and proud to represent their club.

🏪 Benefits local businesses too – Sponsors get exposure through kits, social media, matches and club events while demonstrating their commitment to the local community.

Grassroots football is about more than just football. It gives children a place to make friends, build confidence, stay active and learn important values such as teamwork, respect and commitment. Sponsorship allows clubs to keep football affordable, provide the right equipment and create opportunities for every child to take part. By supporting grassroots football, local businesses aren’t just sponsoring a team — they’re investing in children, families and the local community.

Deerness Valley Thunder U9 ⚡️🧡🖤

DEERNESS VALLEY 7️⃣ – 5️⃣ WASHINGTON JAGUARS ⚽️🔥

What a shift from the lads today! 🧡⚡️

We only had the bare 5 players today with no subs, playing a full 40-minute match in 20-degree heat ☀️🥵 — and every single one of them gave absolutely everything right up until that final whistle.

⚽️ Goals:
🔥 Louie x3
🔥 Harrison x2
🔥 Bailey x1
🔥 Freddie x1

⭐️ Zach – Stepped up today and went in goal. He absolutely loves a turn in nets when needed and always looks so comfortable back there. Some great saves and another brilliant performance! 🧤👏

⭐️ Bailey – Solid at the back as always and what a goal! A beauty from his own half 🚀⚽️ You could see the confidence growing throughout the game.

⭐️ Harrison – Two goals today and took them both in his stride. Battled forward, kept pushing and never gave up. 💪⚽️

⭐️ Louie – A hat-trick for Louie! 🔥⚽️⚽️⚽️ Head up, kept going and kept battling until the very end. What a performance!

⭐️ Freddie – A lovely goal put away by Freddie today! ⚽️👏 Never gave up, kept chasing and kept going and going right until the final whistle.

We definitely started to tire in the second half — which is no surprise after playing the full game with no substitutes in that heat — but they still refused to stop battling. 💪🔥

7-5 winners! 🏆🧡🖤

So proud of every single one of you boys today. You dug deep, worked for each other and showed some serious determination. What a team! ⚡️👏⚽️

A massive thank you to all our sponsors for their support this season:

🤝Houghton Thai Boxing Academy
🤝JK Civils Groundwork Specialists
🤝M Sheraton Groundwork’s Ltd

Your support means so much to the team! 🧡🖤⚡️
