10/02/2026
Tough game, big test β and the way these U8s stuck together was special.
The high fives among the players, they worked for each other, encouraged one another, and kept giving everything from the first whistle to the last.
Win, lose or learn.
They stayed united and kept pushing as one.
Thatβs teamwork.
Thatβs togetherness.
Thatβs real progress. π
2025 comes to an end and what a year it has been for our team! There have been so many highs, goals galore, last ditch saves and great team work to get us to where we are!

Today we played our first game of the new mini-league after moving up. And what a way to start off the new division! Plenty of action, goals, smiles! Today we saw Harry take home the POTM for his efforts on the pitch.
Still unbeaten on our home pitch π¬

What a group of players! Only been together from this season and playing against teams that have had a good 1 - 2 years together. Come away with a great result today against a team 2/3 divisions above us. The boys should be proud! π
Next up we play EB Lions who are 3 divisions above us. Good challenge for the Reds πͺπ»

Sundays POTM was awarded to Jaiden. Adding a goal to his name and an assist, putting in the hard work with his attacking and closing down, to his defensive duties and holding his position to help get us over the line in what was a great team effort ππ»

This week's Player Of The Match was awarded to Ellis. He is very consistent with his performances but today he showed some extra flair! He's very VVD on the brain so when he was given his chance up front, he surprised everyone! He didn't shy away from getting involved. Almost scored 2 goals within his 5 minutes, made some great solo runs, and dropped his shoulder when he was last man to send his opponent to get a meal deal at the shops.
Well done Ellis π
Special thank you to our kit sponsors for this season .aggragates making sure our players look the part! π

One of the toughest jobs in grassroots football?
Coaching your own child is not for everyone.
People think it's as simple as sharing a common interest with them, helping them grow as a player. But the reality is most kids can't separate the fact that at home you're their parent & on the pitch you're a coach. Sometimes, adding extra pressure to them!
As challenging as it may seem, and the car journey home may seem tough, as football doesn't stop on the pitch for coaches. The rewards are so worth it! Sharing the moments beside them instead of from a distance.
