Stalbridge match report - Freddie's the man...

The U11's played their first ever home league game against Stalbridge. MN were quickly into a fine passing game but found that the big visiting keeper was hard to beat. The home team continued to create chances and by half time were 5 - 1 ahead. In the second half Oliver replaced Tom in goal and the outfield players were regularly swapped around and substituted to give everyone a game. This gave a more disjointed performance and Stalbridge came more into the game, but the new keeper showed great promise and courage to deny them any second half goals. Meanwhile four more goals were added at the other end for a 9 - 1 final score.

Keiron 4, Frederic 3, Jack 1, Noah 1. Stalbridge's manager insisted on Frederic being man of the match, a lot of teams do this, while in return we nominated their keeper.

So a great start as Played 2, Won 2 Goals for 30 Goals against 1.

U11's win first game...

Away at Lytchett for a first ever League match in the Dorset League the Maiden Newton lads attacked and almost scored straight from the kick off. Up to half time it was then all one way traffic with the Lytchett defenders under constant pressure. Despite their efforts the score rose to 9 - 0 by half time, with the Lytchett keeper making brilliant saves to keep the score down. Charlie and Thomas won every ball in defence whenever the home team tried to break out.

In the second half the Lytchett lads tried to get a goal but Tom was trying hard to keep a clean sheet and grabbed anything loose in the goal area. Meanwhile the Maiden Newton forwards continued to hit the back of the net on a regular basis with defenders and keeper battling bravely to the final whistle.Praise was due to everyone who took part as supporters, managers, players and referee were as one for the good of the game.

Scorers were Frederic10, Jack 3, Thomas 2, Noah 3, Keiron 1, Charlie 2, for a 21 - 0 record win.
