A fantastic day for the Strikers yesterday winning the Wakefield owls gala then going on to their presentation…What a first season it’s been. A first year of competitive football for these lads, and what a learning curve it has been — for them, and for us coaches too. We’ve had the highs: the moments of unbelievable football, the goals, the tackles, the teamwork… and we’ve had the tough days, the ones where we’ve had to dig in, learn, and come back stronger.But here’s the thing about this group:They always showed up.Rain, wind, hail, sideways rain, more rain… they were there.They gave 100% every single week.They grew as individuals, and they grew even more as a team.And when you look at where they finished the season compared to where they started — the improvement is massive. They ended the season flying, full of confidence, full of momentum, and full of excitement for next year. And that’s down to their attitude, their effort, and their love for the game.We couldn’t be prouder of them.Ellis – The HeartbeatEllis is the kid who gives absolutely everything, every single game. He plays with a huge smile, he works his socks off, and he’s the kind of teammate every squad needs — caring, supportive, and always positive.And of course… a moment he’ll never forget: scoring against Man City. Not many kids can say that. Ellis, you’ve been brilliant this season.Charlie – The Gentle Giant (Until You Run at Him)Charlie grew massively into his defensive role this year. He plays with joy, but tackles like a lad twice his size. Fierce, committed, and brave.And one thing that stands out: he is always the first one over when a teammate takes a knock. That tells you everything about his character. A brilliant season, Charlie.Finley – The Speed MachineFinley has always been a strong tackler — with some of the best sound effects in junior football — and his speed is a huge asset to the team. He covers so much ground and his positional play has improved massively as the season has gone on. A proper athlete and a proper team player.Nathaniel – The Breakthrough StarWhat a journey this lad has had. He started the season asking to go in goal… and finished it with a rocket of a shot that scares goalkeepers.His development has been huge — tackling, working hard, scoring goals, and improving every single week.A massive 26/27 season is coming for you, Nathaniel.Seb – The WarriorSeb is Methley’s little warrior. 100% effort, 100% commitment, 100% of the time.He bulldozes through anything in his way, dominates defensively, and drives the team forward whenever he can.He’s been outstanding all season and is a huge reason the Strikers compete and win games. A vital player for this team.Kye – The Bite and the MagicKye gives the Strikers real bite — strong in the tackle, relentless in his work rate… but don’t let that fool you. This kid can play.A magical left foot, loads of goals, and as the season went on he really grew in bringing his teammates into the game.A brilliant all‑round footballer and a huge part of the team.Jacob – The Mid‑Season Game ChangerWhen Jacob became eligible to play after turning 6, it was like signing a superstar mid‑season.He added real quality — winning tackles at the back, then driving forward and terrorising teams with his skill.He scored plenty, created plenty, and lifted the whole team. A massive addition to the Strikers.Albie – The DazzlerAlbie showed up every single week, no matter the score, no matter the situation, and gave everything.His feet were dazzling at times — defenders still have nightmares — and his finishing improved massively as the season went on.He scored loads of goals… and even smashed Haaland’s tally in a competition he didn’t know he was in.A brilliant season, Albie.AwardsParents’ Player of the Year – SebThe parents have voted, and they’ve chosen a lad who has been strong, consistent, and outstanding all season.Well done, Seb — a brilliant choice.Players’ Player of the Year – AlbieThe boys have recognised a teammate who has helped them all year, on and off the pitch.Well done, Albie — the respect of your teammates says everything.Most Improved Player – NathanielA kid who has shown huge progression, week after week, and is the definition of this award.Well done, Nathaniel — fully deserved.Coaches’ Player of the Year – KyeThis is always the hardest award to choose — we could genuinely pick every single one of them.But this year, we’ve chosen a lad who wears his heart on his sleeve, is consistent every week, helps in attack, digs in defensively, and gives everything for the Strikers.Well done, Kye — a brilliant season.You’ve been a joy to coach. You’ve made us proud every single week. Keep working hard, keep enjoying your football, and keep being the brilliant teammates you are.Parents, thank you for the lifts, the support, the encouragement, the sideline cheers, and the sideline nerves.This is just the beginning.Next season… we go again, stronger, better, and ready for more. ...
