In a closely fought match that saw many
challenges on goal, Boldmere Colts U9’s were victorious, winning 2
goals to the Pumas 1. Colts got their first win of the season by finding
their passing game that had been missing in their two previous matches.
Both teams put in good performances and kept pushing forward until the
final minutes of the game. The first goal came about by intelligent
play between Oliver Nash and Max Brookes. Oliver Nash played a ball
into the channel for Max Brookes to chase. After great wing work Max
shot the ball across the box for one of the Puma’s defenders to turn
into his own net under pressure from Oliver Nash. Goal awarded to Max
Brookes. The Colts got their deserved second goal in the second half
from a great left foot free kick into the top corner. Filip Kozlowski
taking the free kick after a reckless tackle on Billy Sheridon on the
edge of the box. Pumas were able to pull one back in the dying stages
of the game from a great shot outside the area. Unfortunately it was
too little too late for the Pumas as the game was all but over. They
have a chance to equalise with 30 seconds to go but pulled the shot
wide. Man of the Match was awarded to Filip Kozlowski for an all round
performance.
Long Report
During the first half, Colts played convincingly as a team, holding their positions and marking tightly. Good team communication and skilful passing, showed a return to form for the Colts. The first goal was the result intelligent play between Oliver Nash and Max Brookes. Oliver Nash playing in the middle of the park for the first time won the ball from the Puma’s midfielder. Max Brookes called for a pass and Oliver Nash obliged by passing the ball behind the Puma’s Left Back. Max Brookes turned Puma’s Left Back and picked the ball up by the corner flag. As the defender came to close Max Brookes down Max knocked the ball around the defender and shot it across the box only for the covering defender under pressure from Oliver Nash to turn the ball into his own net (1-0). This goal spurred the Pumas into life requiring the team to defend in unison. Man of the match Filip Kozlowski, put in a performance to be proud of, blocking and clearing many dangerous balls near the Colts goal. Ably supported by Billy Sheridan and goalkeeper Conor Dardis when exposed. On the one occasion the Puma’s were able to break free of Filip and Billy Oliver Nash came to clear the ball. Both Filip and Conor putting in strong performances keeping clear heads when under pressure from the Pumas in the first half. On the one occasion the Pumas broke free they were denied by the woodwork of the goal.
In the second half Pumas stepped up the pressure on Colts, but were denied converting their shots into goals by stoic defending and team work. Colts second goal came about from a free kick. Billy Sheridon made a dazzling run from the defence only to be fowled on the edge of the Pumas box after a neat one two will Daniel Shakespeare. Filip Kozlowski being a natural left footer was tasked with taking the free kick. Filip step up and release an unstoppable powerful left foot in swinger into the top corner of the Pumas goal to earn the Colts their second goal of the game. The second goal motivated the Pumas who raised their game. The Pumas played with greater conviction after the second goal and managed to push the Colts back. Colts started to defend deeper partly due to the determination of the Pumas to try and salvage something from the game and partly due tot he Colts tiring. Pumas got a deserved goal, although controversial with 90 seconds to go. After a sustained period of pressure from the Pumas their defender, who had pushed up, hit a speculative shot from outside the box that took Conor Dardis by surprise. Conor managed to take some pace of the ball but not enough to stop it. Lucky for the Colts Billy Sheridon had dropped back on to the goal line and cleared the ball. However, the Puma’s Lines Man gave a goal that the Referee awarded (2-1). The Pumas getting the bit between their teeth went for broke and attacked the Colts from the kick off. Unfortunately for the Pumas it was too little too late as they ran out of time. Just as the final whistle was blown the Pumas had a chance to shoot from outside of the box to try and equalise. However, the Puma’s striker pulled the shot wide.

Lichfield City Villains U10’s: 2
Boldmere Falcons Colts U10’s: 2
Boldmere went out of the cup on penalties
despite dominating most of the game. goals from Alistair Wells and Ethan
Caballero were in vain. George Smith in goal was outstanding and deservedly
won the Man Of The Match award.
Lichfield City Villains U10’s: 2
Boldmere Falcons Colts U10’s: 2
A break from the league, with an away
cup match at in form Lichfield City Villains. Boldmere started the better,
playing some great football up a steep hill.
Brad Priddey and George Jenkins were playing superbly in defence for
the Falcons and creating the springboard for several attacks.
After 8 minutes, Ethan Caballero went on a superb run down the left
wing, beating two players and pulling the ball back for Alistair Wells
who struck a fantastic shot into the far corner of the net for a great
opening goal.
Will Jones was causing all sorts of problems in the Lichfield defence
and several times created shooting opportunities for himself and Frazer
Austin. Frazer was working very hard on the right side of midfield supporting
the attack and getting back to defend.
The most notable attack for the rest of the first half came when Jake
Freeman and Ethan Caballero linked up on the left hand side and as the
ball was passed inside to alistair wells, his tremendous shot struck
a Lichfield defender as it was about to fly into the net.
Jack Whitehouse was playing some great football at the back, and his
calmness on the ball was a joy to watch. In the second half, Liam Nevin
created several chances for Boldmere to increase their lead, setting
up Ben Caughtry with some nice passes. Unfortunatly as always, if you
dont make the most of good possession, the other team is always in with
a chance.
Boldmere were caught twice on the break and conceded very poor goals.
Both of them were goal mouth scrambles and all of a sudden they found
themselves 2-1 down having totally controlled the game. With 5 minutes
left, Alistair wells took a quick throw in for Ben Caughtry to run onto
down the left hand side. Ben beat his man and squared the ball into
the box and Ethan Caballero beat Lichfields keeper to the ball to bravely
turn the ball home. Ethan took quit a heavy knock for his pains, but
it was a real goalscorers goal.
Boldmere had one last chance to settle it in normal time when Jake Freeman
controlled the ball at the far post and struck a great shot that looked
a goal all the way until the Lichfield goalkeepers face intervened!
EXTRA TIME
Lichfield nearly scored a couple of goals in extra time as they finished
the stronger. However George Smith in goal was outstanding. One double
save he made at the feet of the same player was top class. He has had
several weeks of very little action, but he showed no signs of rustiness
as he kept Lichfield at bay single handedly.
The dreaded penalty shoot out came and went, Lichfield won it 2-1.
The man of the match award could realy only go to one player, George
Smith in goal was an inspiration, his bravery and his agility meant
Boldmere almost pulled of a great result against much more experienced
opponents.

Boldmere took control
of the first half through goals from Brett Brown; Platini Kamdon and

half and their defensive mistakes gave Castle Vale the game. In the
final stages of the match Boldmere rallied themselves and could so easily
have won the match. Once again Boldmere lost a game that they clearly
should have won. However bar the fifteen minute spell in the second
half their performance has to be commended.

twice and Sam Shaw added a fourth. Castle Vale did get a second before
half time.
Boldmere's dominant first
half performance was undone after the break. Castle Vale came out to
try and make a match of it and pressured Boldmere. Once again Boldmere
had a disastrous fifteen minutes and their defensive mistakes gave the
game to Castle Vale. However in the final stages of the match Boldmere
rallied themselves and could so easily have gone on to take the lead
back. Brett Brown, Callum Williams, Jack Southerland, and Sam Shaw all
had good opportunities. This was summed-up when Platini Kamdon took
a superb free kick which almost broke the cross bar.
Once again Boldmere lost
a game that they clearly should have won. However bar the fifteen minute
spell in the second half their performance has to be commended.

Boldmere went into this
game looking to maintain their 100% start to the season with a good
performance and did not disappoint. They dominated from the start pinning
the home team into their own half with some superb passing & pressing
of the ball that was to typify the entire game. It was no surprise when
the Falcons took the lead through Finlay Sadler and they began to rack
up the chances as they completely outplayed their hosts. Leading by
5 goals as they came into the halftime break, including a blockbuster
strike from Andrew Perry, the Falcons could have been many more ahead
as they carved the valiant Arden Forest defence apart.
The second half, if anything,
saw the Boldmere lads up their performance even further & the goals
& chances continued to rain in on the Arden goal. A superb strike
from Joe Jobson from fully 30 yards & a stunning strike from Nathan
Quinlan were the pick of the second half goals. Top scorer George Grigg
continued his goal a game strike rate. The entire team played superbly
with it being extremely difficult to pick a man of the match. Jack Lowe
was fantastic in midfield weighing in with 2 goals. Finlay Sadler again
scored a brace of goals for his second consecutive game. Joe Burke created
chance after chance and finished with 2 goals himself. With Joe Webb,
Andrew Perry, Nathan Quinlan & Joe Jobson also scoring it shows
the goal scoring ability we have all over the park. It should also be
noted that the defence looked extremely strong with Jacob Beeke, Harry
Morris, Joel Kirsten, Andrew Roskell, Ryan Bevan & Josh Raby-Gordon
all having eye catching performances. The Arden goal came from a superb
header from a rare home corner giving the Falcons keeper no chance.
The score line today
could & possibly should have been far higher with Boldmere creating
too many chances to mention but how can you criticise the lads when
they turn in such a stunning performance to consolidate their top of
the table position. The Royal Mail Sports Foundation Man Of The Match
was awarded to Andrew Perry for a fantastic all round performance.
