Battyeford 1–4 Methley U15 Girls![]()
![]()
Methley U15 Girls turned on the style for the start of their league campaign in a commanding 1-4 victory away at Battyeford, showcasing superb teamwork, attacking flair, and real determination from start to finish.![]()
![]()
The visitors started brightly, moving the ball with confidence and creating several early chances. Methley’s defence stayed solid and composed throughout despite some strong set pieces from the opposition . Methley’s attacking intent was clear as they struck the woodwork and forced a number of fine saves from the Battyeford keeper. Their persistence finally paid off before the break when Emily P calmly slotted home to give Methley a well-deserved 0-1 lead at half-time.![]()
![]()
The second half saw Methley maintain their dominance and turn pressure into goals. Creating chance after chance with sharp passing and great movement off the ball, Pippa doubled the lead with a confident strike in the box to make it 0-2. Battyeford responded quickly, pulling a goal back and momentarily shifting the momentum. However, Methley refused to let the hosts back into the game. Showing great awareness and positioning, Belle struck decisively from close range to restore the two-goal cushion and take the wind out of Battyeford’s sails. A Battyeford own goal made it four, capping off an excellent attacking display from the visitors.![]()
![]()
It was a dominant team performance, with every single player contributing — Methley’s defence stayed strong, their midfield worked tirelessly, and the forwards combined brilliantly throughout. On another day, the scoreline could have been even higher given the number of near misses and shots against the frame of the goal.![]()

⚽️🔥The Mad dogs were on fire again today with another 11 goals in the bag🔥⚽️ The boys knocked the ball around really well and are really getting stuck in together as a group. Big thank you to Lee Wood for reffing for us today and a double trouble for his lads with the Man of the match going to Louie and Reggie who both played fantastic today 💙❤️
Methley u10s whites hostes Horsforth st margarets in the cup this morning in what turned out to be a closely fought and entertaining match. James, Alex and Jesse were strong in defence and carter and Aaron played the central defensive midfield role very well with some great interceptions and passes forward. Harry, Thomas and Joe worked tirelessly in midfield and there was some lovely passing between them. Special mention to Ethan playing up front. Was unlucky not to score and pressed extremely well from the front to close the ball down and win back possession. A great performance up front from Zach too who took his goal very well after a perfectly timed pass from Thomas. Captain went to Aaron for his battling performance and endless energy. Player of the match to Riley who was immense in goal today with numerous quality saves and great positioning to keep us in the game at times.
Methley Utd U13 Whites recorded their first victory of the season today with an 11-0 win against Monk Fryston Lions. A focused 70 minute performance saw home debutant Dylan notch 4 goals, Oli R bagged himself a hat-trick, our stellar centre back Oli Y claimed his first this season also other scorers were Corey, Olly S and birthday boy Jake 🥳. Credit also goes to the Monk Fryston boys who despite the score showed great character and kept going right to the end. 🔴⚫️

The u9 Blackhawks hosted Bramley today in a cracker of a game played at a high tempo and in great spirits throughout.![]()
![]()
Blackhawks started strongly and peppered the Bramley goal but couldn't quite take advantage.. the pressure kept building as Isla ran the show from midfield and caused non stop problems with a number of top corners.![]()
![]()
Finally the pressure told as the blackhawks switched play to find Isla in loads of space who found a finish... the blackhawks kept pushing and another corner finally worked as Eliza was in the right place at the right time.![]()
![]()
Edie, Halle and Millie were tight at the back and reading the game well and Evie and Maia were working really hard in attack. Aria was always in the right place to stop attacks and her passing was sublime as she released our speedy wingers..![]()
![]()
At half time the Blackhawks were in control and then came the moment of the match as Alex burst down the wing, committed defenders and played a lovely pass to Edie who was waiting in the right position. Edie made no mistake in front of goal..![]()
![]()
The blackhawks were attacking freely and working some great positions and showing maturity in decision making... then we saw the defensive grit and determination come into play. Bramley fought there way back in and then had a quarter of attacking themselves. The blackhawks dug deep to hold on and saw the game out with one last lung bursting run down the wing from Eliza who narrowly missed out on the icing on the cake![]()
