It was a real end-to-end match with plenty of great moments and some magical play from the boys.The opening goal came from Freddie, who managed to find the back of the net from a very tight angle – The game continued at a high tempo with chances at both ends.Bobby then produced a great moment of individual skill, taking on a couple of players before finishing confidently.Another great team moment followed when the opposition keeper came out to collect the ball, but Bobby reacted quickly to win it back and square it to Henry S, who calmly finished it. Overall, it was a brilliant performance from the boys against a team that also dug deep.Henry didn’t have a huge amount to do in goal but was solid when called upon. The defence was excellent all game and really controlled things well. Logan and Majus were rock solid throughout, while Harrison and Deacon rotated well at left back and both had strong games.In midfield, Toby and Henry S worked tirelessly and covered a lot of ground for the team. Going forward, Bobby and Faeley linked up really well down the right and were a constant attacking threat with the support of Freddie and Vinnie who rotated well at left mid. A few passes into the box could have come a little earlier or with a bit more care, but that’s something to keep improving on.Overall, all the boys played really well as individuals and also showed a very strong team performance.Goals:⚽ Freddie⚽ Bobby⚽ Henry S🏅MedalOpposition MOTM: Logan🏅Parents MOTM: Deacon🏅Coach MOTM: MajusCoaches voice: Brilliant performance by the boys today – well done everyone 👏 ...

Fantastic game today for the u10 Panthers at home to Pontefract Collieries at Outwood Academy in the Spring sunshine. As has been the case in recent weeks, the girls were quickly out of the blocks, creating chance after chance with all of the team either having shots on goal or playing key passes into the final third.Aurora continued her recent goal scoring exploits bagging a quick fire first half hat trick with her composure and power leading to her winning the coaches’ award this week.Bethany continued her great recent form too with real strength, energy and teamwork covering back - all this across a number of positions leading to her receiving the parents’ award.Annie won the opposition award for her drive and persistence pushing the team forward and providing a real outlet for the team out wide with her dribbling skills and pace.Alice finished off the scoring today with a goal borne out of persistence and drive and it’s great to see the girls continuing to improve both individually and as a team. The quality of their passing, pressing and tackling today was as strong as we’ve seen all season and we look forward to seeing this all again next week! Keep it up Panthers! ❤️🖤❤️ ...

Match ReportMethley Lions V Leeds Hyde ParkDespite a slight slowdown after several strong weeks of performances, the boys showed great determination and produced some excellent moments of quality.The opening goal came from a corner delivered by Bobby which took a deflection off Faeley’s knee and found its way into the net. Bobby then added another himself with a well-taken strike.A lot of the play today was spent in defence, where the lads did brilliantly under pressure. Hyde Park caused problems with long punts forward and the middle of the park became very congested at times, making the game harder than it needed to be. Even so, the boys showed some excellent footwork in tight areas and managed to create chances.The goalkeeper was once again in top form, producing some fantastic saves to keep Hyde Park from achieving goals.In the second half the team started to play more like we are used to seeing, with good tactical thinking, smart passing, and better decisions on the ball. One standout moment came when Toby controlled the ball in midfield and played it through to Bobby, who finished well to score.Goals⚽ Bobby x2⚽ Faeley x1Assists🎯 Bobby – Corner🎯 TobyAwards🏅 Opposition MOTM – Bobby🏅 Parents MOTM – Henry W🏅 Coaches MOTM – Harrison (first one – well done, much improved!)Coach’s Voice: Overall it was a hard game, made challenging at times by some of our own decisions, but there were plenty of positives and some great individual performances across the pitch. ❤️ ...

The u10s whites welcomed Ebor Gardens to Church Lane this morning. The boys soon got to grips with some of Ebor's trickier players and 2nd half in particular we played some excellent football. Riley made some great saves first half with one brilliant triple save in particular. Alex and Zach were strong in defence tackling and intercepting and closing down the opposition. Carter and jesse commanded the central defensive midfield role with composure and Jesse was unlucky not to score from his lovely run through midfield. Excellent work on the wings from Thomas, Joe and Aaron breaking at speed and putting some great crosses in and excellent passing between them and the strikers. Special mention to Aaron for his workrate tracking back and keeping the skilful opposition player quiet with his defensive work too. A fantastic display up front from Harry saw him score 4 very well taken goals which earned him player of the match but also linked the play with the midfielders extremely well too. Captain went to Zach for his solid defensive display and teammate to Thomas as chosen by the players. Goals scored by Harry x 4, Thomas x 2 and joe but excellent work from everyone who all played a part in a great performance ... See MoreSee Less

This morning Methley Warriors made the short trip to Swillington for what turned out to be a bruising encounter played at a furious pace.Methley started slowly and allowed their opponents to dominate the early exchanges but still remained dangerous in broken play. The quarter had plenty of chances and both teams came close but the game remained deadlocked as Isaac made some great saves and the boys got a well deserved break.The 2nd quarter was very lively as Swillington remained on top throughout the early exchanges but after some great battling by Teddy L, Reggie was on hand to prod home from close range. James was battling hard and finding a lovely range of passing. Then the pattern of the game was set... end to end and played at a frantic pace.Teddy L struck a left footed shot that arrowed into the corner following some unbelievable twists and turns as Swillington defenders didnt know where to turn! But back they came... at half time the boys got a rest and tweaked the game plan.The 3rd quarter came and George was immense in defence, block after block he repelled the waves of attacks and Henry S was able to capitalise with a quick fire brace as he raced through the defence and remained calm.The game continued to swing back and forth as Isaac caused havoc when up front, then came the highlight of the game... as a Swillington shot was trickling harmlessly wide..... Teddy G was not taking any chances as he threw himself across the goal, tipped the shot further wide in what can only be described as a Hollywood save of the highest order!As the game came to an end the boys kept battling but found themselves at a disadvantage but were not to worry as Teddy L hit a thunderbolt in the top corner with seconds remaining.. a beautiful ending to a crazy game that had everything..Parents player - GeorgeOpposition player - Teddy LGoals - Reggie, Teddy L, Henry SThe boys showed huge heart and determination throughout the game and the coaches are very proud of their efforts ...

It’s all getting tight for the u18’s… a 2-0 win away at Stanley on a tough pitch keeps things interesting.. A fairly scrappy game which Methley fought hard to come away with the victory getting lucky on occasion with an excellent Stanley team hitting the post and bar.. We started brightly but then Stanley got into their stride and pressured Methley for a good 20 mins before a well worked goal for Arthur Whelpton eased some of that.. 1-0 at the break… message from the coaches was to keep playing like they can and communicate more… it seemed to do the trick and the second half was much better.. victory sealed mid way through the second half with an excellent header from centre back Alfie Land.. 2-0 final score.. special mention to keeper Zak Newton for keeping Methley in the game at times.. with games coming up against Brayton, Ackworth and West End it’s certainly shaping up to be an exciting end to the season… #muafc #upthereds ...

The u10 Panthers were the visitors at Rothwell Town today. It was the first game on grass for a while, good to get some mud on the boots!! The coaches asked for energy and the Panthers responded well with a strong couple of quarters where they pressed to great effect, the midfielders moved forward and back with real commitment and it was great to see the girls managing their own set pieces.The last two quarters lacked the earlier energy and focus and against a good side they let the game run away from them at times but overall plenty of positives to take, particularly from today’s award winners who both gave 100% every second they were on the pitch. 🌟 COACHES’ PLAYERBethany was a handful on the wing, strong tackling and great passes including an assist to set up Aurora’s goal. Never gave up and a solid teammate getting back to help recover when under pressure. Well played Bethany!🌟 PARENTS’ AND OPPOSITION PLAYEROlivia picked up both 🤩 On fire today, repeatedly the first to the ball and influenced the game from wherever she played with pure strength, silky feet and excellent defensive and attacking instincts. Superb Olivia! GO PANTHERS ❤️🖤❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

🔴⚽ Methley U10 Reds Match Report ⚽🔴These lads really know how to keep us on our toes… because clearly starting a game from 0–0 is just too boring for them! 😅Once the boys got into the game though, we saw some great teamwork, passing, and finishing. The attitude and effort was excellent and it was great to see the lads grow into the match and show what they’re capable of.🏆 Coach’s Player – FreddieAn absolute brick wall today. Brilliant at breaking up play and then getting us moving back up the pitch. A huge performance in the middle of the battle.🎖️ Parents’ Player – AaronPlayed with his usual passion and never-say-die attitude, popping up with some key goals when the team needed them most.🤝 Team Mate of the Match – OliverWorked tirelessly up and down the wing, played some great passes, and took his goals really well.
