MRFC U11 Hurricanes vs NYSA
Middleton Rangers delivered an excellent performance at home today, from the first whistle, the team showed great energy and intent, moving the ball with confidence and purpose. Their passing and positioning were impressive, allowing them to control large parts of the game and build momentum throughout.
A key feature of the performance was the work rate and determination shown by every player. The team worked tirelessly for one another, pressing high, tracking back, and competing strongly in every area of the pitch. Individual battles were consistently won, which helped Rangers maintain control and disrupt the opposition’s play.
Overall, it was a complete team display, with quality shown both in attack and defence. The players supported each other well, stayed organised, and showed great spirit from start to finish. It was a performance full of teamwork, effort, and positivity—one the whole squad can be very proud of.

Freddie Rudd - A standout performance full of energy from start to finish! Covered every blade of grass, worked tirelessly for the team, and topped it off with two fantastic goals. A brilliant display of effort, determination and quality.

Jamie - A commanding performance in midfield, showing strength in every tackle and real determination throughout. Made some excellent driving runs to push the team forward and capped it all off with a superb goal. A powerful and influential display—well deserved!
Middleton Rangers U8s V Riverside Juniors (Real)
A late pitch switch, a kick off time change, players missing, and 4 grown men battling the strong wind while attempting to put the nets up couldn't stop another positive Middleton performance.
With no recognised strikers in the squad the boys had to really adapt to change, step up, and push their game to the next level.
The playing conditions were tough, and the opposition were very well organised and tested the in form Middleton Goalkeeper much more than we would have liked. They were very unlucky not to be leading at half time, using the strong wind to their advantage. However, all the boys put a proper shift in, and with just the one substitute available, ran their socks off. Some great goals (and saves) by both teams and some super passing play from our boys, a real treat to watch at times.
The hard work in training on passing, moving, finishing, and organising set pieces is all starting to pay off....and best of all, the nets managed to stay intact for the entire game.
Big shout out to Grace who refereed the game excellently today.

Thornaby Town Spitfires v MRFC U7 Hawks
Tough conditions for the boys today with a strong wind and horizontal rain at times.
Once again they battled hard; and with the downhill slope and the wind ended the first half in the game which including a half way line looping goal from Theo.
The second half was deservedly edged by Thornaby with one stand out academy player making the difference for them.
Super effort, commitment and smiling throughout.
Support from the parents to all the kids is awesome especially in the conditions.
Well done. 👏
Happy birthday Claire Wase! 🥂🧡Shhh I’ll probably be in trouble for telling you all this 🤫
But we couldn’t let the day end without wishing Claire Wase a very happy birthday! 🥂🎉🧡
Claire is the backbone of our club and not much happens without her involvement from kits to sponsorship to putting on the best presentation and fun day known to grassroots football! Add to that a full time job, being a mum to Olivia and wife to our chairman Dave (to quote Aretha “behind every great man there has to be a great woman!”) we think she’s pretty awesome!
Happy birthday Claire!!
U9 Hurricanes - Tournament
What a day! Today our superstar Hurricanes travelled to Sunderland for a tournament, and they only went and won it! Our lads battled hard all day and despite not actually winning a game, drawing 2-2, 0-0, 1-1 and 0-0 in the group stage we went into the semi then the final where we won both games in a penalty shootout! Surely future England stars in the making liking to take it to pens!
Big congratulations to the team who’ve battled hard all year! Great day out for them all!
