A friendly today for Methley Panthers U10s at Outwood Grange after receiving a bye in the first round of the cup. The opposition was an u11 team from Guiseley organised to give the girls a test against an older and bigger team and true to form the Panthers got their teeth into the challenge from the first whistle!![]()

Quick fire goals from Aurora (2), Macey, Alice and Darcey were a deserved reward for such a quick start!

Methley Lions Vs Polonia ![]()
![]()
First Half: ![]()
Methley got off to a bit of a slow start! Polonia really trapped us in and made it difficult to play! ![]()
Even though we made some great runs forward we found ourselves outnumbered alot and their defence cleaned the ball up well. ![]()
Polonia took the lead with a great strike that Henry couldn’t quite reach! Quickly followed by a penalty awarded to polonia from a late tackle. ![]()
![]()
Although we were on the back foot there was some great team effort throughout.![]()
Deacon come on creating some promising chances but just coming up short. ![]()
![]()
Second Half: ![]()
![]()
We decided to shuffle the formation to allow us to attack the game moving into a 3-3-2 allowing Bobby some extra support up top with Deacon.![]()
![]()
We started to really cause them problems running behind winning free kicks to which Bobby slotted one beautifully into top bins. ![]()
We also pushed Majus into midfeild who helped win the ball higher up the pitch.![]()
Logan was putting them under pressure on the right.![]()
We used Harrison at CB for the first time, who did a really good job along side Logan both holding off opposition.![]()

Afternoon all ![]()
![]()
A great game of football on a sunny morning at church lane, so first of all thanks to Horsforth JFC U8’s and their visitors, a pleasure to host and a very good match ![]()
![]()
TOGETHERNESS has been key to our great start to the season. A great example I want to single out today is when we missed our penalty, 2 lads, Rohan and Eithan, were straight over the console their team mate and tell him it’s okay, and that was a major highlight of the game for me personally.![]()
![]()
Jai put us ahead in the early stages grabbing a quick brace, with Roman grabbing our third . Jai was fantastic as well today, scoring 2 goals from the back proving he can be a menace from any position, driving forward at defenders.![]()
![]()
Rohan was then re introduced in the final quarter and his presence in the forward areas was once again always dangerous, grabbing a brace for himself, very well deserved!![]()
![]()
Eithan was composed as ever and his range of passing and vision is improving week in, week out, and his contribution doesn’t by any means go unnoticed.![]()
![]()
Harrison and Thomas today as well were very solid defensively, and Harrison’s sharpness between the sticks is growing as well, really making the goalkeeper position his own, and was our very well deserved parents player of the match today! 🏆 Thomas cleared our lines very well 3/4 times in the last quarter of an hour or so, proving pivotal in keeping the goals conceded down alongside Harrison and Eithan.![]()
![]()
Hughie and Roman had the very difficult task of keeping tabs on horsforths number 2, no easy feat, and both were outstanding, being a physical presence themselves for him to think about.![]()
![]()
Hughie takes the coaches player of the match, and on behalf of all the coaches, has done a fantastic job being captain for the first 3 fixtures, well done Hughie 👏 absolutely relentless in his determination to win the ball, and spring our counter attacks as he often is, leading by example in this front.![]()
![]()
Our captain for the next few games will be Harrison, nominated by his team mates and coaches, let’s get behind the lads and thank you for your continued support! 🏆 🔴 ⚪️
