U18's into Pelly Cup Q Final

[The Town Crier]

 

 

Well done to our U 18's who beat Brentwood 4-2 today in the Pelly Cup 4th round.

 

 

Next round is an away tie to Hullbridge Sports in a Q final

[coach et 64]

I might see them for the first time this year.

Can we post these games up somewhere?

Excellent performance today, few issues, but considering the conditions and playing on a different surface. They also had a bit of luck on their side, with Harrisons 1st goal (from a corner) and, IMHO, Luka's goal which I think he was fouling Brentwoods CB. But overall, thoroughly deserved the win, against a (usually) good passing Brentwood side who beat the Blues 3-1 in pre season. TC, were you there?

[Stevie Henry]

I was there today, and yes, the lads I thought played some great footy at times. the final 15mins gave them a little lesson in football! Well done lads!

Last seasons final is this seasons quarter final!

 

All the best to billericay, last year i couldnt support them because i was between the sticks the other end but this season its a different story.

 

good luck guys

Top stuff today from our promising Youth team, Our boys showed true class in the way they taught brentwood a football lesson in extra time with slick passing as i can only describe as pure brilliance, as for the pre-season game if i can recall it was 3 30 minutes and played as a training game so.....

 

 

well done lads, good luck in the next round

We've got a match report from John Mifsud on the website and we will promote the next round tie (quarter finals)

 

Well done lads!

There's a new addition to the website you many enjoy BB.

It's success is dependent on people keeping me informed of fixtures for the Reserves/U18s/Ladies though.

sorry Miyagi, just spotted the question.

I'm not sure, I probably was there, but wouldn't have taken a great deal of interest in the result as those games were about player selection.

Anyway, I'm glad you thought it was a thoroughly deserved win, we have come along way since pre season, the lad's are doing great.

[Brightside Bloke]

Thanks Finny, A very handy addition to the site.

 

Your doing a great job on it by the way.

I'm told Hullbridge have been ejected from the competition, so the U18s will play Loughton now.

[bill-ER-ricky]

Miyagi, I'd be interested to know your "issues". You speak so well informed of the previous U18"s and are some what critical about the current group! do you have a connection with the previous set up?

[Stevie Henry]

Hi guys (and any girl fans out there too!), I think John Misfud's write-up on the U/18's Cup game yesterday is a really great reflection of the match/what happend!

 

That's the 2nd time now I've seen the lads play, in parts, some really silky slick footy, playing as a team like a well-oiled machine!! (I'm a poet, didn't even know it!!)the 2nd time also, they've seemed to have heads on their shoulders beyond their years! - keeping posession of the ball for long periods, part of the sign of a good team I feel!.

 

The defence were also very disciplined in coming out as a unit, particularly in the 1st half (meant as Lino I had to keep even more alert!!).

[coach et 64]

I have heard that you'll play Loughton Town and not Hullbridge Sports that have been removed from the competion for playing an inelegible player.

where did you hear that coach..

[coach et 64]

From our club secretary last monday at the managers meeting.To say it's unpleasant is an understatement.I'll spare the details out to you out of compassion.

[Stevie Henry]

So I'm told, although I don't know the story 1st-hand. It's a shame, as it would have been very convenient for me, just being down the road from us, and could have been considered a local derby. Looking at the website top-right fixtures it looks as though the lad's U/18's Q.Final with Loughton is off tomorrow. Dissapointed for the lad's, but my own lad's pleased in a funny sort of way, as he couldn't make that one, and wants the chance of getting picked for the squad for that! What's the history of your call-name 'Reserve Coach', is it just a nickname, or are you involved in coaching?

 

In case you hadn't guessed, I'm an Arsenal nut, as is my lad (not much 'brainwashing' involved whilst he was in nappies!!)hence the nickname given to me kindly by my lad's previous team!

 

Looking forward to the Tottenham-Arsenal game tomorrow.

 

Nice to chat guys.

 

Stevie Henry.

By the way, don't quote me on that one, my screen seems to intimate that on the Fixtures Drop-Down, but keep an eye/ear open (wouldn'r want to reduce the support for the lads if it's till on!).

[Pooch]

Steve - its the ladies game at Dagenham & Redbridge that is off tomorrow, not the U18's.
