Whitchurch Sports v Longwell Green HML U10 div C – Sunday 25th April 2010

2010-04-26T14:24:00.001+01:00

The final match of the season was a tense affair for both clubs with promotion at stake. Longwell Green knew a win or a draw would see them hold onto second place in the league whereas only a win would see Whitchurch. leapfrog them and gain that all-important promotion spot.

A goal from Chesney Blackett in the first game gave Whitchurch the lead in a very even match but the visitors hit back with two goals in quick succession to give them a slender 1-2 lead going into the second game.

With it all to do in the second game the Whitchurch boys played with spirit, power and flair and at times the Longwell Green goal was under siege. The hosts hit the crossbar, the posts and pulled out some fine saves from the Longwell keeper but a hat trick for George James and a goal for Jay Selway made for a comfortable 4-0 win and a 5-2 aggregate win that gave Whitchurch the runners-up position in the league.

All in all this was an excellent performance by a team that has performed so well all season and was a fitting end to a brilliant season and a farewell to Norton Lane. If we can carry this level of performance into next season at our new home, this team can go from success to success. Congratulations to all the boys who have given their all, entertained us royally and made this a memorable and highly enjoyable season.

Winterbourne United v Whitchurch Sports HML U10C – Sunday 19th April 2010

2010-04-19T14:25:00.000+01:00

This exciting encounter between two in form teams ended in stalemate in dramatic fashion. Sam Atkinson opened the scoring for Whitchurch with a scorcher from distance but Winterbourne hit back twice to take the lead. A brave effort from Devon Walsh who took a knock for his troubles levelled the scores but the hosts hit a late winner to finish the first game 3-2. In the second game the visitors battled manfully to try to turn the fixture round but met with some admirably stubborn and resolute defending. The Whitchurch boys rained in the shots hitting the post and, most noticeably a Matt Legg shot from the halfway line which looped over the keeper and hit the underside of the crossbar. On another day this would have gone in but it didn’t seem like Whitchurch’s day. With time running out it looked like Winterbourne would be extending their impressive run of eight straight victories but Whitchurch finally found the back of the net with a Jay Selway bullet that finished the game 0-1 for a 3-3 aggregate draw that leaves Whitchurch needing a win from their last game for promotion.

Whitchurch Sports v Downend Boys HML U10C – Sunday 11th April 2010

2010-04-11T21:11:00.001+01:00

Whitchurch came out winners in this crucial, keenly contested tie with just a goal separating two even sides. Devon Walsh opened the scoring for Whitchurch but the visitors struck back almost immediately. Bayley Rudge neatly headed in a long throw as Devon then turned provider and the pair repeated the move for a third but each time Downend hit back and the game ended 3-3.

The second game was end to end as both sides went for the win. George James put the hosts ahead only for the visitors to equalise, but a drilled shot from Jay Selway in the second half again gave Whitchurch the advantage and this time Downend were unable to find a reply. The game finished 2-1 for a 5-4 aggregate win and three valuable points for Whitchurch as the season reaches its climax.

AEK Boco v Whitchurch Sports HML U10C – Sunday 28th March 2010

2010-04-01T10:53:00.000+01:00

Whitchurch came out ahead by six goals to three in this even contest. The first match looked to be heading for a goalless draw, as both sides defended resolutely, until a second half Sid Ricketts volley put the visitors ahead. Whitchurch pressed forward to try to increase their lead but in the dying moments of the game were hit on the counter down the left wing as Boco found an equaliser to tie the first game. The second game was, again, very even with Whitchurch taking the lead twice only for Boco to equalise but in the last ten minutes the visitors upped the pressure and scored three times to make the game safe at 2-5 for a 3-6 aggregate win. Second game Goalscorers for Whitchurch were Billy Rice-Hanlon and Ben Carfield with two each and one for Jay Selway.

HI Everyone ,
training will take place on a thurs the 6th at 6pm night (date to be confirmed) at Imperial , junc West Town lane and Sturminster road ,
This is the result of negotiation between Whit church FC and the ground management .
Next season it will be the home of the club for all games and training , as the club has outgrown the facilities of Hengrove Athletic

It also means that annual prize day [ provisionally booked for may 9th ] will also take place at imperial with use of function room and astro pitch from 12 noon till 7 pm,with other games included to make a great day out , catering has not been finalized at this time.

As I'm off to Cornwall on fri for a week I;ve quickly put this news out because I think it is a very big step foreword for the club , and will allow it to grow even more ,and it will give you all a chance to digest the info before our next fixture ,as I;m sure there will be views and questions to be exchanged .

Hi everyone

Training sessions will continue until the end of March at West Town lane.
We will then be looking for another pitch for a month because Norton lane is unavailable, having to accommodate all the games that have backed up during the winter.
Anyone with a very large back garden?????
It is possible we have a sponsor for a new strip, we would like to find another to replace track suits.

Now is the time to be thinking about tournaments this summer. They have to be booked in advance and some of the better ones get filled up quickly.
It is also necessary to have as much feedback as possible to ascertain if you want to go , how many do you think we should apply for ? and where ?
It has been suggested that we go farther a field to play teams in a different league, they can be a very enjoyable day out but it is a full day’s commitment some are held on a sat or sun.
The lads came very close to winning last year and to pick up a trophy or 2 would be the icing on the cake.
I have watched nearly all of there games this season and can see how much they have improved.

The change to paying subs on the first of the month was a success, lot less hassle and helps when needed to book tournaments, hopefully will have more to write about next time when we have some dates to confirm.

Bristol Spartak v Whitchurch Sports HML U10C – Sunday 21st March 2010

2010-03-22T10:56:00.001Z

Another close encounter between Spartak and Whitchurch ended in a draw. Whitchurch keeper, Jacob Raudies was injured early in the first game and had to be replaced, but some great defensive work by Josh Winchester and Sam Atkinson gave the stand in goalie protection and kept Spartak down to just two goals for a 2-0 lead going into the second game.

Whitchurch came back strongly in the second game, taking a four goal lead through Ben Carfield, George James and Billy Rice-Hanlon (2) but a late rally from Spartak saw them hit back with two goals, drawing the match in the final minute.

Bradley Stoke United v Whitchurch Sports Hanham Minor League U10C – Sunday 7th March 2010

2010-03-08T10:25:00.003Z

Whitchurch came out on top in this close, hard fought encounter by 4 goals to 3. The visitors piled on the pressure in the first half of game 1 with goals from Chesney Blackett and Jamie Hicks giving them a two goal cushion at half time. Bradley Stoke turned the tables in the second half and two early goals brought the scores level, but Whitchurch rallied to see the game out at 2-2.

The second game was just as tight with both sides pushing for the winner in an entertaining end-to-end match. Jay Selway broke the deadlock with a fine strike for Whitchurch but once again Bradley Stoke pulled the game back, equalising in the second half. With the game looking destined for a draw, Jay Selway netted his second, completing a fine team move and Whitchurch were able to see out the remaining time for the win.

Decisions made at meeting 21st February

2010-02-26T14:45:00.002Z

Hi everyone.
On Sunday a meeting was held to discuss the future and how we go forward. Wayne opened with the problems of making up the team sheet on match days when players arrive late, also parents of players in the first team leaving early, it was agreed with all present that, when possible, everyone to be there by 10am and stay till the end of play. Of course there will be times when this is not possible, but please to inform Wayne by text before 10. There will be more effort to keep the team not playing to stay together in a group .

The next item was subs. The fee for training will be £10 per month in advance starting on 1st March to be paid if attending or not this was unanimously agreed by all present. After some discussion it was agreed that match day subs to be collected on the day, with Sue and Kelly volunteering to collect from their respective sides .

Other topics discussed: training will be moved back to Norton Lane in the near future but generally agreed that evening to be better than sat morning, so it may be Thursday evening, cannot be more definite till agreed with club , also water bottles to be kept by the players who will be responsible for their own drinks, these to be placed in the crate at start of session so that they can access them at half time without leaving the pitch , also to wear club kit including tracksuit if possible to all games. Those who have grown out of their tracksuits to wear Whitchurch badged hoodies or raincoats

On a personal note I would like to thank Clive for the excellent tops he donated to all the boys as I am sure all would agree .

This is the first time I have done a news letter, and as I am not Oxbridge educated there will be mistakes made, but this first attempt is for the parents who were unable to attend the meeting to keep them informed .

Wayne hopes to hold another in the near future as there will be other items for discussion , there will be another letter shortly when some of these changes have taken place , if anyone has a topic or view to put forward please let me know ,

The fat bald one sat on a buggy .

2010-02-22T01:15:00.002Z

Whitchurch Sports made a dream start to the first game against Henbury Colts when Chesney Blackett finished a move from the kick off with the game only seconds old. This gave the team confidence to press the advantage and their relentless pressure on the Henbury goal was rewarded with a superb hat trick for Devon Walsh and a goal for Jamie Hicks. The game finishing 5-0.

In the second match Henbury made a fine attempt to overturn the deficit scoring five times themselves but, in a very open game Whitchurch found the net enough times to keep the scoreline safe. A goal apiece for Billy Rice-Hanlon, Jay Selway and George James saw the visitors win the game 5-3 for an aggregate 8-5 to Whitchurch.

Whitchurch Sports U10s v Bradley Stoke United U10s Hanham Minor League Division C – Sunday 7th February 2010

Bradley Stoke United came out 3-4 winners in this keenly contested encounter. The first game finished 1-4 in favour of the visitors with the Whitchurch goal coming courtesy of a stunning strike from distance by Devon Walsh who saw the keeper off his line and fired over his head into the top corner.

Two early goals from Jamie Hicks in the second game gave Whitchurch hope of a recovery but Bradley Stoke held firm and always looked dangerous on the break. Despite a concerted effort, Whitchurch were unable to find the net for an equaliser and the score remained 2-0.

Whitchurch came out on top of this entertaining U10 division C game with a solid display against a well-organised and strong Winterbourne side.

In the first game Josh Winchester opened the scoring with a long, looping effort from inside his own half catching the Winterbourne keeper off his line. Chesney Blackett doubled the lead with the first goal of a well-taken hat trick before Winterbourne hit back with a drilled shot from close range after an indirect free kick. The home team rallied in the second half and put on the pressure with Ben Carfield and Jay Selway bagging a goal apiece and the game finished 6-2.

Billy Rice-Hanlon and George James netted twice each for Whitchurch in the second game and Francis Craig scored his maiden goal for the club with a sweetly struck shot from distance. In reply Winterbourne knocked in four of their own in an end to end game to finish 5-4 for an aggregate 11-6.

In the first match Chesney Blackett opened the scoring for Whitchurch from a tight angle and soon after, Jay Selway doubled the lead with a sweetly-struck long range effort. Spartak pulled one back before Jay drove home a free kick for his brace. The visitors finished the game strongly and scored twice to end the game 3-3.

In the second match an under-strength Spartak side fought bravely against the odds but struggled to contain a rampant Whitchurch team. A brace each for Billy Rice-Hanlon and George James and a goal for Devon Walsh ending the game at 5-0 for an aggregate 8-3 to take Whitchurch into the third round.

Whitchurch Sports roared to a 17-3 victory against bottom-of-the-table St Nicholas B.

England U16s v Wales U16s on 15th Oct 7.40 p.m

2009-10-02T12:59:00.001+01:00

England U16s will take on Wales U16s in the Victory Shield at Huish Park, Yeovil Town's stadium, on Thursday October 15th at 7.40 p.m. I think this would be a good opportunity for the boys to see an international match at close hand and give them a taste of what they could aspire to. It would also be a good bonding session for the team.

Tickets are £3 for adults and 50p per child.

I organised a trip like this before to see an U17s international at Huish Park and it was a great success. I will also contact all the other Whitchurch managers to see if their teams want to go and then make a block booking.

I would appreciate you getting back to me asap to express an interest or not. We can sort out any travel difficulties when we know who is going.

Cheers,

Wayne
