Wasps U9 2011 - 2012 season

Solid Wanborough win - Fairford 1 v Wanborough 5

2011-12-07T07:40:00.001Z

Wanborough were keen to perform this time having lost at home to Fairford the previous week and with only one sub they pulled together really well with four of their goals being the result of great teamwork and passing skill.

Jacob Chilcott scored the opener from a pass provided by Tom Moore and Will Sumner supported both Tom and Jacob three times to help create their goals. Tom scored a great individual goal as well.

Steven Tilley was our man of the match and did some great defending and Joel Trojan (our goalie) made some good saves. Jake Hammond and Will Bowley worked very hard in defence and Jake came close to goal when standing in as striker for Jacob. Matt Goldfinch played in both defence and mid and made a difference being very determined.

Fairford worked very hard and their goalie in the first half was very impressive, as she was in the match the previous week when she stopped nearly every attempt to score by Wanborough. A great team to play who worked very hard.

Wanborough Juniors v Swindon Rangers 4-3

2011-11-06T20:40:00.001Z

A fast paced match in which Wanborough dominated the first half with four great goals from Tom Moore with some fine passing to help create these from Matt Goldfinch, a corner into Tom from Daniel Eastell as well as a free kick which was taken by Dan and which Tom finished finely.

Every other Wanborough player had a hand in the victory with some great defensive work from Christian Pau, Jake Hammond and Cam Averies and some excellent midfield work from Will Sumner and Matt Goldfinch. The strikers - both Jacob Chilcott and Liam O'Reilly both came close to goal action.

In the second half Rangers fought back strongly and got two good goals and were then awarded a penalty which got them their third goal. They had one final shot at goal which was tipped over the net by our brilliant goalie Joel Trojan.

Overall another good performance from the Wanborough Wasps who are now unbeaten in their last five matches.

Highworth Town v Wanborough 0-2

2011-10-30T22:10:00.000Z

30/10/11:

A hard fought match on both sides with some excellent performances all round leading to a 2 goal win by Wanborough thanks to goals from Tom Moore and Liam O'Reilly.

The pleasing thing from Wanborough’s point of view was how the team pulled together with the goals being the result of excellent and unselfish passing from three or four players that led to the goals. Will Bowley excelled in defence and was this week’s Captain and our coaches Man of the Match and he was well matched in defence with Christian Pau who made some strong blocks. Jake Hammond (Captain's Man of the Match) defended well and cleared the ball safely on a number of occasions.

Will Sumner and Tom Moore worked midfield left and right very hard respectively and Jacob Chilcott and Liam attacked with Jacob close to goal scoring action and he took a pass from Will Sumner and then passed this on into Liam for his goal. Undoubtedly our brilliant goalie Joel Trojan deserved heaps of praise for confident and consistent goalkeeping and keeping a cool head when under pressure. Matthew Goldfinch was incredibly solid in defence and mid roles and again could have scored!

Highworth were unlucky not to score having a few shots just wide and other good shots saved by our goalie. Thanks to Highworth for a spirited and fair match.

Wanborough v Hungerford 2-2

2011-10-30T22:07:00.001Z

16/10/11:

A really good result against the top team thus far in the division and tribute to the hard work put in by the players and the confidence they deserve.

The coaching teams for Hungerford and Wanborough agreed that both sides played brilliant football with excellent performances from all and it was a pleasure to watch.

Hungerford opened the score sheet with a fine goal and then Jacob Chilcott equalized for Wanborough. Both Tom Moore and Will Sumner came very close to scoring as did Matthew Goldfinch who had a shot on goal. Eventually Liam O'Reilly took Wanborough back ahead with a fine finish to a good pass from Will Sumner. Hungerford then equalized and the score was a fair reflection of two strong teams who played consistently throughout the match. Christian Pau was absolutely solid in Wanborough's defence. Joel Trojan for Wanborough made some exceptional saves and Hungerford's goalie matched this with some confident goalkeeping. Cameron, Daniel and Jake all put in good efforts with Man of the Match being Matt Goldfinch and Captains Man of the Match Jacob Chilcott.

Wanborough v Marlborough Youth

2011-10-15T14:16:00.001+01:00

A fine performance from a more confident Wanborough side with all 11 players available today and keen to show their abilities following a narrow 2-1 win by Marlborough away.

We started well and Will Sumner opening the scoring, followed by Jacob Chilcott with two great goals (very close to a third as well), Tom Moore made it 4-0 at half time. In the second half Marlborough fought back and following some goal mouth scrambles ended with three well deserved goals for their determined efforts. One of our newer players Liam O'Reilly was striker for the last period of the second half and scored his first great goal for the team.

Matthew Goldfinch (our newest player) came in at the start in left back and was incredibly solid and determined and deserved his ‘Player of the Match’ award. Christian was our Captain and showed he was the right choice with supportive words for his team on pitch and very solid defending.

Joel as usual worked hard in goal which wasn’t easy when two of Marlborough’s three goals came from some very close attacks in the goal mouth. Will B and Jake worked hard and both Cam and Daniel made an impact when they were on pitch. Although not always easy when you have four subs it helps that they were all desperate to play and prove themselves.

It was good to win as we did today, rather than losing by 2-1 as we did to Marlborough in the final seconds of the away match.

Cup win v Stratton Youth 9th October

2011-10-15T14:07:00.001+01:00

Our first cup match was away at Cirencester playing Stratton Youth.

We really were on fire in the first half with the score at 5-1 at half time. In the second half we didn’t do ourselves justice and including an own goal Stratton brought the score to 5-5 which would have been a deserved result. Unluckily from Stratton’s point of view was another own goal which came off Tom Moore’s shot on goal. A second own goal in the first half came off Will Sumner’s shot on goal. Joel was away so we had Cam in goal for the first half then Christian for the second half and both made some good efforts with Christian being the Captains player of the match. Jacob was unlucky not to score in the first half. Liam made a good contribution with some good defensive work. Will B came very close to a great goal and overall we were pleased to still be in the cup. Stratton Youth are a great team who played really hard and could equally have been the winners. Jake Hammond was player of the match.

Wanborough v Wroughton Youth

2011-10-02T22:42:00.000+01:00

Another day and another close run match against a side with whom we are more than equal. The weather was hot and we expected both sides to tire but it was an entertaining match. Wroughton opened the scoring with a ball that just went across the line when Joel caught it. Wanborough equalised with a trademark goal from Tom Moore and unfortunately Wroughton managed to put another away. Will Sumner had at least two or three shots on goal and also made some great passes into Jacob who worked hard and was unlucky not to score. Cameron had a short at goal and Liam O’Reilly had a great debut match. Joel (our goalie) went on to play on pitch in the second half and was a determined defender whilst Daniel Eastell (this week’s Captain) had a great match and ran fast to counter attacks. In all nobody under-performed and the score was a reflection of two evenly matched teams.

Training back to Dorcan tomorrow for the winter at 6pm.

Wanborough v FC Chippenham

2011-09-18T00:16:00.001+01:00

Our second league match of the season was all action with goals galore. Despite an unusually hesitant start and Chippenham opening the scoring we fought back and given another ten minutes in the end might have evened up the score.

Last year’s top scorer Tom again used his speed to his advantage and gained two goals, Jacob in his striker role put another away in fine fashion and Will S continued his form with another goal ending the match with seven for the opposition and four for Wanborough. Midfield worked very hard throughout with Will on the left and Tom on the right and both ran non stop throughout.

Despite the result and some good passing play by Chippenham there were some great efforts by the rest of the Wanborough squad with Will B and Christian and Sam in defence and again an outstanding job done by our goalie Joel. Daniel played some determined football as did Cameron and Jake in central midfield with some great tackling and determination to win the ball.

Looking forward to our next fixture away to Marlborough on Sunday 18^th September.

Wanborough v Abbey Meads

2011-09-04T23:29:00.001+01:00

Our first match of the season and a confident start. Our opposition were organised and played well with some solid performances but our boys all settled back into their positions and this seemed to give greater confidence. Tom opened the scoring in typical speedy fashion followed by Will S – the two of them running the length of the pitch every few minutes taking their duties as wingers seriously when it comes to defence and goal-scoring combined. Will made a great pass into Jacob who scored and was our first Captain of the season. Jacob was noticeably back to form in terms of his speed and was in the right place up front. Tom followed up with another outstanding goal as did Will S – both looked like they could have made more! Jake came close to scoring with a great shot on goal and Joel played a superb match in goal repeating his performance in our friendly last week when he made six great saves. Christian solid as ever in defence and Will B got very busy in defence when he came on, as well as Sam who felt and seemed much stronger defensively. Daniel was itching to go whilst a sub and came on keen to make a difference. A good result against a good team and importantly the boys all enjoyed the experience of being back playing matches together.

Next Sunday is another home match against FC Chippenham A.

Wanborough v Fairford

2010-11-15T23:28:00.001Z

Not our best match but one where we tried harder in the second half. The opposition were good and in some cases some of the tallest U8’s we have met – perhaps it made our lads think twice as they held back a little more than usual. It’s always tricky moving players on an off pitch so regularly but we have a commitment to give all of the lads a fair turn and sometimes this results in a group on pitch who will end up exposed in some way. Defensively both Sam, Will B and Christian played their part and Christian made some good saves as did our other goalie Cameron (who also did a fine job in penalties at the end). Louis and Will S performed well with Will setting up a couple of great forward passes we were unlucky to score from. Jacob came very close to goals but despite the great effort couldn’t find the net either. Thomas showed lightening speed in his goal speeding ahead of the opposition to rocket away a fine goal and Daniel also worked hard to save us from attack being really quick to spot when to kick out for safety. Ben looked like he was going to make the run of the match at one point to score but again we were unfortunate not to score.

Training tonight went well – thanks to Chris E & Ken for their help with training whilst Chris was training the U12’S as part of his Level 2 course.

For those who haven’t finalised if they will be joining their boys on the STFC match day to watch Swindon play Sheffield Wednesday on 4^th December please confirm as payment is due and I need to confirm numbers. All WJFC players are subsidised by the club for their cost to £10.00 for the whole day experience.

Wanborough v Shaw

2010-11-10T00:12:00.001Z

We enjoyed a spirited match against Shaw on Sunday and the boys fought hard to maintain their form. Tom and Jacob both scored and I think that we didn’t do enough to stop the oppositions two goals. Will S scored the decider giving us the win but Sam and Jacob had a lot to do in defence and Sam deserved his Man of the Match award! Daniel and Cameron both fought hard along with Louis, Ben and Christian to keep us on track. The opposition fought hard and they deserved their goals.

On to Fairford this Sunday – kick off at 11.00am. Team to arrive by 10.30 please.

Gary

Wanborough v Wootton Bassett B

2010-10-24T21:43:00.001+01:00

What a great match – no subs which meant all players were committed to a full 40 minutes in their positions and how well it worked on this occasion. Jacob opened the scoring and Tom followed. Jacob added another two goals and Tom ended with five more. Will was doing some great work on the left wing and passed in perfectly to create goals for others yet managed one of his own by closing down a ball that hadn’t connected. Cameron produced an outstanding goal of his own and you could see in his face all of the second half (he was a bit under used as first half goalie) that he was determined to score. I was amazed that Christian didn’t score – here was another defender moving forward when the opportunity arose to have a go. Louis played midfield back and also worked really hard with a couple of chances to shoot at goal and tackled really hard. Sam lived up to his role as main defender – left on his own on a few occasions he did well to cover half the pitch when the opposition ran forward. Our opponents fought hard and were certainly determined when fighting for the ball – they deserved their two goals as they were the only occasions when we failed to control the ball and move it out of our goal area.

A weeks rest ahead for all – no match next weekend but training as normal.

Well done Wasps - Gary

Friendly - Wanborough v STFC School of Excellence U7's

2010-10-19T22:45:00.001+01:00

This was a brilliant opportunity to play (at their request) the U7’s from STFC’s school of excellence and our lads did really well. They played a whole match in the rain, kept their shape and every single team player added something to today’s match proving they are all excellent.

We had goals from Tom, Jacob and Will and ended with a (I think) deserved victory. An hour’s football is hard work and with a steady rate of substitutions I think all got a fair game. Daniel was on fire in the first half in goal and Tom, Jacob and Will as well as Ben did an outstanding job in taking the ball forward and rarely wasted opportunities to take a shot. Sam stood tall in defence with Will B and Christian – each making a big difference and stopping attacks. Louis had to start up from and in the centre and really played a great part with some excellent tackling. Cameron took on a busy role as second half goalie and made some good saves while also showing some of his playing skills on the pitch.

Thanks for your support (in the rain) – I think we forgot that while the game was on – you couldn’t look away!

Well done Wasps!

Wanborough v Supermarine

2010-10-19T20:04:00.001+01:00

Another great match for the team! Tom started off with a goal and kept his amazing turn of speed up! Jacob followed with another goal always making sure he is in the right place when the ball is passed forward. Ben did great work scoring two goals and won the Captains Trophy – chosen by our Captain – Lewis who also did some great working in mid and forward positions. Will S did some good running in a trial running from left full back and did some nice footwork with the ball to take and keep possession. Christian did his usual solid defending and Daniel was an outstanding goalie. Will B and Sam did some swift defending keeping their positions. The boys continue to keep their shape and are playing really well together. Man of the match was Jacob for great passing and shooting.

We are at home this week against Wootton Bassett - 11am kick off.

Wanborough v Liden B

2010-10-10T19:52:00.000+01:00

A sensational match against Liden B, probably the most exciting of the season so far! Liden B started off very strong and Cameron had to make a good save as the ball came back off the post. Then Wasps took control and Thomas made it 1-0 with a great finish after Liden's goalie had saved his first shot. Wasps dominated the rest of the half with two more brilliant goals from Thomas. Jacob had a superb shot from the left wing which their goalie somehow tipped onto the cross-bar and Louis headed one just over the cross-bar form a corner. The team were playing really well with some good passing and Ben forced an own goal after a very dangerous corner. Will B, Sam and Christian were proving very solid in defence and Daniel was having some good runs on the right wing. The second half was end to end with Liden scoring three good goals but Wasps also did some attacking of their own with good work by Ben to earn a penalty and Jacob created a number of good chances but Liden's defence held firm and it took a strong defensive effort by the Wasps at the end to earn a narrow victory. Overall a great match.

Training continues at Isambard for the next three weeks at 6pm.

Wanborough v Stratton

2010-10-05T22:15:00.000+01:00

What a great match for the boys – even in really bad weather they had high spirits from the start! Despite being a mixed U7/U8 side I thought Stratton did themselves credit.

We had Cameron in goal for the first half and he did a great job. He deserved his Man of the Match trophy although it was difficult to choose this week because there was so much great play.

Christian was 2^nd half goalie and did a great job – particularly in penalties but also was determined in defence. Will B did some really great defending having become fearless and was helped by Sam – both took their moments in defence to run forward but always got back in time. I hope you all admired the way they stuck to their opposite numbers when needed. Jacob had some chances on goal and played his part in the others (this week at training Chris emphasised the need for having a go with the left foot when shooting at goal) – it was great to see some runs with Daniel, Will S and Jacob all passing forward between each other. Tom scored two goals and continues to amaze with his speed, Daniel also another two with one from behind the halfway line, Ben another fine goal and two from Will S. Louis was doing some great tackling and goal scoring apart they all know they are part of a team with everyone deserving praise for their part in each win.

Liden B this weekend at 11am at home. Please be at school by 10.15

Good luck (I am away this Sunday and this will be the first match I have missed) – I know they will do themselves credit.

Wanborough v Highworth

2010-09-26T20:34:00.001+01:00

I think most would agree this was an exciting match with plenty of action. Highworth are a strong side and played well with a great goal from a header.

Our lads performed brilliantly with Thomas scoring two great goals and Jacob another. Brilliant goal-keeping from Cameron (Man of the Match) and Christian in the second half stopped the opposition scoring more. Will did some great turns using his body to block and retaining possession whilst trying to pass in from the corner, Daniel was fast and fearless and Will B made some great stops in his defensive role. Louis is increasingly solid in getting the ball and taking forward and Sam looked in danger of taking a shot at goal at one point from a defensive run forward! Ben again can always be relied upon to take on the opposition and make a great difference in his centre forward role. A well deserved victory.

We are playing away at Stratton (near Cirencester) next week – details to follow by Tuesday – another team new to us! Training as usual at Church Meadow this week but in October we start training on Astroturf – at Ismbard School in North Swindon – details again during the week.

Thanks. Gary

Wanborough v Ramsbury

2010-09-21T20:43:00.001+01:00

An enjoyable and well balanced match – Ramsbury are a good side and gave a good account of themselves with only an unlucky own goal on our side leaving us with the draw but some outstanding performances on our side and with excellent first match appearances from Louis and Will B. Louis worked really hard up and down field and deserved his Man of the Match award as did Will B who got the Captain’s award for great defensive play although Christian showed a master-class in blocking attacks. Daniel scored a great goal and Tom scored another two will Jacob coming very close, piling on the pressure. Will S did some great kicks out as 2^nd half goalie managing to reach the opposition keeper. We will try to remind all of our budding strikers that they are not on their own and can pass when heading for the goal.

Kick off this Sunday 11am at Home against Highworth. Thanks to all parents for your support.

Gary

Wanborough v Pewsey Vale

2010-09-12T23:16:00.001+01:00

Sunny and dry and our first match back on our home turf! The boys had a great match yet the opposition for a team with mixed U7/U8 players put up a great fight with some really fast players. Thomas again must have enjoyed chocolate croissants for breakfast putting two goals away, Will celebrated his birthday with a goal and Jacob also put in two with Ben scoring yet another goal. Interesting that we had the same names on the score sheet last week but Daniel hit the cross-bar or post twice in a determined effort and Cameron, Christian and Sam were positively whizzing up and down the field in defensive roles that moved swiftly forward and all credit to them that we didn’t let any through although the opposition certainly deserved a goal or two for effort. Thomas was our Captain and nominated Jacob for the Captains Award and Christian deserved his Man of the Match award for keeping his head up and making sure he was always in the right place.

We are away against Ramsbury next Sunday with kick off scheduled for 10.30 – please arrive by 09.45 latest. Thanks - Gary

Northern Lights v Wasps U8's - Sunday 5th September

2010-09-07T21:19:00.001+01:00

We had an enjoyable start to the season despite rain for the entire match. Northern Lights have some new players and gave us a good match. Our Man of the Match was Thomas putting away four great goals – his speed on the pitch was the key (combined with 2 chocolate croissants for breakfast). Ben scored two including one fabulous corner curled straight into the goal without stopping. Jacob and Will added another fine goal each and our new recruit Sam was chosen by our Captain (Christian) to receive the Captains award for effort this week in his defensive role. The whole team got down to some excellent play remembering lots of their new skills and keeping their heads up despite the weather. Both Cameron and Christian took turns in goal and booted out some long goal kicks. Daniel also used speed and fearless tackling to maintain control of the ball. Well done to all.

We play at home this Sunday to Pewsey Vale U8’s with an 11am kick off (arrive by 10.30 latest please).
