U8 spitfires v Hardwick FC
A great match today against a side at a similar level to us who we’ve played a few times over the summer. The lads played really well
The boys looked strong and together as a team. When they pushed up and pressured the opposition they looked dangerous.
[C] shout to our captain Ernst who impressed with some good tackles and always moved the ball forward.
🏆 Well done Aidie for parents POTM. Moved well on the ball and is playing with more confidence. That run up the wing and assist in the dev game 👌
🏆well done Harrison for coaches POTM. Great in goal and always in the right position upfront, worked hard to win the ball high up the pitch and pressured their defence and goalie. A constant threat.

Middleton rangers v Leven
A brilliant performance from the lads today! 👏
The boys played some really good football, worked hard for each other and showed great teamwork from start to finish. Everyone put a shift in, battled for every ball and played their part.
Really pleasing to see the lads continuing to grow as a team and supporting each other throughout the game. Plenty of positives to take from today and a performance everyone can be proud of! 💪⚽️
A massive well done to every single one of the lads — the effort, attitude and togetherness they showed today was fantastic. Keep working hard, keep believing in each other and keep pushing forward! 🔥
Proud of you boys! Up the Rangers! 🟧⬛️

🏆 Parent Man of the Match – Shaun 🏆
A brilliant performance from Shaun today on the wing! 👏 He worked tirelessly, caused problems throughout the game and finished with two great assists. ⚽️🙌
🧤 Opposition coach Man of the Match – Mason 🏆
Another top performance from Mason in goal today! 👏 He made some fantastic saves when called upon and showed great confidence and composure between the sticks.
Trip down to coach Liam's old stomping ground for the u10 Spitfires today. Away at Northallerton.
First half was very tight in what was a physical battle between the two teams.
At the start of the second half the Sptifires got their passing game going and took control of the match, creating opportunities, taking their chances and keeping Northallerton penned in their own half.
Credit to Northallerton for then making things difficult for the Spitfires towards the end, with some lovely individual runs.
Good battle between two well matched teams. Entertaining stuff!
Well done to all the boys today, superb effort 💪🍊⚽

Keep up the hard work!!

Middleton Rangers U9’s vs Marton Blues
Middleton served up a rollercoaster for the home support and coaches today in what was a very entertaining end to end match that could have gone either way.
The boys adapted well to the new formation and started quickly but as the game progressed, Marton looked more dangerous.
Whilst there remains plenty for the boys to work on there were signs of progress today. Well done, boys. 👏🏻

🏆 Coaches' player: Josh
Strong defensive performance from Josh, winning his duels and playing really well with Theo at the back.
Josh's distribution from the back gave the team a strong attacking platform and is an area he's really developed in over the past few weeks. Well done Josh.
🥇 Parents' player: Zach
Controlled the game in the middle today, winning tackles all over the pitch and capping it off with three goals.
