Under 7s (playing the new 3v3 format)

This week our under 7s welcomed edgehill to Garth end Road.
With three pitches on the go it was great to see so many children enjoying their football with plenty of touches of the ball and huge smiles on their faces.
Both coaches have said how pleased they are with the whole teams progress over the summer but today it was Oliver who was awarded Player of the match for his never give up attitude. 👏🏼

On the up!

SPR U15s put the disappointment of back-to-back narrow defeats behind them, with a superbly disciplined and tactical performance to win 3-0 at Copmanthorpe today.

Moving into a more balanced 4-man backline, we asked the team to execute a simple game plan: be safe, solid and compact, reaching half-time 0-0 after Sam rattled the post from 20 yards.

The squad followed the tactical blueprint into the second-half, playing more expansively and forcing a string of corners.

From one of these, Bailey was teed up 20 yards from goal and placed it fiercely with the inside of his right foot for 1-0, his first competitive goal for the club.

Minutes later, SPR had made it 2, Jack T scoring from close range after another corner.

SPR really turned the screw with a brilliant individual goal from Carlos for 3-0.

POM was Lou Shannon for a calm, composed & confident performance at centre back.

After last weeks win against Hunmanby, our under 13’s looked to continue their fine start to the season as they welcomed Filey to Garth End Road.
The first ten minutes saw both teams create chances but it was Scholes that broke the deadlock when George Ferrey played a through ball for Harry Sample who kept his composure and placed the ball into the back of the opposition net. From here Scholes grew into the game and the goals came thick and fast.
George Ferrey with a quick brace, the second of his came from a pin point delivery from Travis Cook for George Ferrey to rise above the Filey defence and head the ball past the keeper for his first ever headed goal.
After this Ben Stagg found himself free in the box after a great piece of link up play with Archie Pratt to fire into the back of the net to make it 4-0. Another quick fire two from Tommy Macdermott and Ben Stagg saw the game end for half time at 6-0 after another two assists from in form Archie Pratt.
After the break Filey came out strong and had it not been some excellent defending from Charlie Anderson and Franco Poole and a great save from Oscar O’Brien, Filey might have found themselves on the score sheet.
Franco then found himself further forward in search of a goal himself but with the woodwork and the Filey keeper stopping the ball finding the back of the net.
Ben Stagg then turned provider after whipping numerous balls into the box and finding Hugo Thompson for his first of the game and George Ferrey to complete his hat-trick.
Another great ball into the box gave the Filey defender no option but to bundle the ball into his own net making it 9-0.
Archie Pratt then drifted passed several players and placed the ball into the far corner before Hugo Thompson got his second of the game from a tight angle and Ben Stagg scored late on for his hat-trick to round off the goals as the game finished 12-0.

Archie Pratt was named Player of the match for his 5 assists and work rate throughout. 👏🏼

Credit to Filey for never giving up and the coaches for their positivity throughout.

Absolute scenes at McCains Sports field!

Scholes Park Raiders lost to the odd goal in 5 when Rawcliffe visited McCain's, but the score again did not reflect the balance of the game.

After a poor start with 2 easily avoidable goals conceded, SPR piled on the pressure with Ronnie striking the bar from 20 yards, Jack T stinging the goalkeeper's palms and countless corners.

From one of these, Jenson's pinpoint cross was converted with a far-post header from Sam. Shortly after, Jack Ts guided sidefoot finish was controversially ruled out for offside. HT 1-2.

Into the second-half, SPR had the majority of possession and made tactical, positional and personnel changes to breach the Rawcliffe defence.

With 15 minutes to go, a slide rule pass from Sam was fed perfectly into the path of Ronnie who calmly placed an 18-yard shot into the far corner for 2-2.

At that point, there was only one winner, with SPR winning the midfield battle, looking a real threat on corners and forcing Rawcliffe back. Riley showed great versatility, moving from midfield into a back 3 role, centre-back Lou continuing his great start to the season with another calm performance and Sam returning to form with strength, agility, a goal and an assist.

Indeed, Sam's cross-shot, dummied by Carlos, appeared to give SPR a 3-2 lead, but the referee disallowed the SPR goal for interfering with play, the second goal chalked off in the game.

With SPR pushing for the winner, a long ball forward found the forward in a duel with goalkeeper Oliver and the ball looped into the back of our net for a late Rawcliffe winner.

However, there was still time for late drama as SPR were awarded a penalty, but the keeper made a stunning save.

Final score SPR 2 Rawcliffe 3.

POM : Lou Shannon.

Under 11s kicking off the new season out at scalby today. Great team performance from all the players with some really nice passing moves and work rate from them all against an improved scalby side. Every member of the team played their part today and a great way to kick off the new season in our new octopus energy sponsored kit.

Can’t single one player out from today’s performance as everyone was on top form from first to last whistle.
