Birchwood Colt’s U8’s

🧤 Man of the Match – Cooper 🖤💛

A huge congratulations to Cooper, who was deservedly chosen by Coach Scott as Man of the Match in Sunday's friendly against North Lindum Hawks. 👏⚽

Cooper put in an outstanding performance between the posts, showing a level of confidence and skill we haven't seen before. He never took his eyes off the ball, stayed focused and pulled off save after save – denying some quick fire & powerful shots.

His determination and willingness to keep fighting for every ball were fantastic to watch, and he truly earned this recognition.

A massive well done, Cooper – we're all incredibly proud of you! Keep working hard and enjoying every minute. The future is looking bright in goal and out! 💪⭐

⚽ FULL-TIME | FRIENDLY MATCH ⚽

Yesterday we travelled to Yarborough Leisure Centre for a friendly against North Lindum Hawks.

Facing a team from a higher division was always going to be a tough test, but our lads never stopped battling. From the first whistle to the last, they showed fantastic heart, determination and a real willingness to keep learning, even when things didn't go our way. 💛🖤

These are exactly the kinds of games that help us grow as a team. Every challenge is another opportunity to gain experience, build confidence and continue developing together.

A huge thank you to North Lindum Hawks for the friendly and for providing such great opposition. We wish you all the very best for the season ahead! 👏

We're excited to see how our team continues to progress throughout the upcoming season through experience and knowledge gained. Onwards and upwards! 💪⚽

What a brilliant evening with the team tonight! Despite the soaring temperatures, every single player turned up ready to work hard, learn, and give their all. The effort, attitude, and determination on display were nothing short of magnificent. 💛🖤

A special welcome to our newest team member, Joey! 👏 It was great to have you join us, and the boys made sure you felt part of the team from the very start.

Tonight, Coach Scott introduced a new moving ball drill, challenging the players to think, react, and control the ball while on the move. It wasn't easy, but the boys showed fantastic resilience, kept pushing themselves, and refused to give up until they mastered it. ⚽🔥

Watching their confidence grow with every repetition is exactly what youth football is all about. The progress they continue to make week after week is incredible, and we couldn't be prouder of every single one of them.
Well done, lads – another excellent session in the bank! 💪⚽
