Methley Mad Dogs U8s, what a set of lads these boys are. They have been none stop all weekend, stayed up until the early hours watching the England game together and still got up and got to the semis of their first ever beach football tournament!!! Proud is an understatement 💪⚽💙
The U10 Reds had a fantastic weekend away at the beach football, creating bonds and making memories to last a lifetime ❤️
Is it coming home ??![]()

What lovely feedback regarding our u16s boys team touring Holland.![]()
![]()
So lovely to hear, well done to all the coaches, players and parents on your and representing our great club so well ❤️⚽️❤️
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 Heartbeat![]()
![]()
Ellis 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 Machine![]()
Finley 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 Star![]()
What 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 Warrior![]()
Seb 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 Magic![]()
Kye 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 Changer![]()
When 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 Dazzler![]()
Albie 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.![]()
![]()
Awards![]()
![]()
Parents’ Player of the Year – Seb![]()
The 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 – Albie![]()
The 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 – Nathaniel![]()
A 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 – Kye![]()
This 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.

Hall Green Gala 2026![]()
![]()
Our U9 Vipers played their first gala of 2026 at Hall Green this afternoon. Weather was absolutely glorious (glad to come away not looking Red for a change)![]()
![]()
We entered into the Champions League group, playing a 5v5 format, I have to say, it was strange seeing them back on a 5-a-side pitch after a season at 7-a-side.![]()
![]()
Onto the group stage, and what a great start our Vipers made in a tough match against a top Thornes Whites side. We made a quick start and soon found ourselves 2-0 up, plenty of great team work, and some great saves made from Joel to keep us ahead. We eventually saw out the game 3-2. Next up we had Seacroft Eagles in what was a pretty one sided game, some great long range finishes had us winning this one 7-0. Our last group game was against our gala hosts, and a team we know well from this season. This one was a really tight game, again we passed around well, and managed to head in front and see the game out 1-0. Winning all groups had us topping the group and into the final against Thornes Whites who finished in second. ![]()
![]()
The Final:![]()
Well, this certainly wasn’t a repeat of the group game in terms of the scoreline, however in terms of the game itself, it was again another great battle against two great sides, both keepers shutting each other out, but Thornes did eventually go 1-0 up with an absolute great strike. Our Vipers weren’t behind for long though, and we got ourselves back in the game after Noah took advantage from a keeper fumble from Romans shot. The rest of the game was a constant back and forth but finally ended 1-1 and onto a dreaded penalty shootout.![]()
![]()
Penalties:![]()
I hate these, but the kids seem to love them 🤣 all 5 of our takers were little warriors. After 4 penalties each, we were ahead 4-3. Thornes scored their fifth and the weight of the world fell on Jacks shoulders to put away his penalty and crown us champions and boy did he put it away.

Super proud of this group today, they battled the heat, and worked really hard for each other.
Brilliant day at Drighlington Juniors A.F.C gala today. Girls played amazingly all day, against some cracking teams. The girls worked their socks off, getting to the final pushing Wakefield Schools Football Association all the way to penalties in the final but finished runners up in a superb match. Lovely moment when one of our girls was hit in the face and the Wakefield striker hugged her immediately. Classy stuff. Very proud of every player, big thanks to Drighlington 🙏
Beach soccer today for the U9s Lionesses. The girls did absolutely amazing playing in the U10s group and made it all the way to the Quarter Finals. Another great weekend bring on 2027 🦁
