Results 8th September
Sunday 8th September saw just one of our three teams in action as the Under 9s took on Tempest at home in their first “West League” fixture of the season. Looking to score more goals than the opposition for the first ever time, which they duly did, they scored three goals. Daniel in the Bergholt Heath goal also saved a penalty in the last minute to cue some very happy scenes on the Poors field at the final whistle. The boys passed the ball really well and made some very good chances throughout the game. They have clearly learnt a great deal from their first season together when they were Under 8s. Well done boys.
The Under 11s were due to play their first ever fixture in the new 9vs9 format of youth football (hence the new size goals installed on the Poors field), but unfortunately their scheduled opponents in the C league, who also happened to be Tempest, could not field a team and so a friendly was arranged instead.
Our Under 15s had a blank weekend as there is an odd number of teams in the A league this season due to the withdrawal of Brooklands, and their number came up to miss the very first week. Instead they played a friendly on Saturday away at Hadleigh against a combination of Hadleigh, Ipswich Wanderers and Woodbridge players, which they lost 4-2.
