Our under 8s scored 2 goals this week, away to Clare.

The under 12s drew 1-1 away to Cornard Dynamos Blues. They went behind with an own goal in the first half but yet again played much better in the second half and deserved to level the match with a goal scored by Ronan Gallagher. Antonio Sabini also hit the bar with a clever long range free kick as Bergholt dominated the last 30 minutes. The Bergholt Heath ‘man of the match’ was Matthew James.

Our under 13 team gave what the manager described as a “halloween” performance and were 5-1 down at half time away to Stanway Villa and eventually lost 9-1.

The under 15s team did not play this week.

Our under 16s lost away 3-1 to AFC Sudbury in a tight physical match. Tom Hodder scoring the Bergholt Heath goal.

The under 18s were the only team at home this week, but unfortunately also lost 3-1 to Feering Falcon Reds who apparently were aided by a couple of strange refereeing decisions. Joshua Wright scored the Bergholt Heath goal.

Next week the attention of the older age groups turns to the league cup, whilst the under 8s continue in the ‘non competitive’ league. The fixtures are below, note the slightly later kick off times due to fireworks the previous night on the Poors field:

Fixtures 7th November:
Under 8s vs. Stanway Rovers Yellows, kick off 11.30am
Under 12s vs. Wivenhoe Reds, kick off 10.30am (League cup R2)
Under 13s vs. Halstead Reds, kick off 12 noon (league cup R1)
Under 15s vs. Gt Bradfords postponed due to lack of players
Under 16s vs. Brooklands, kick off 2pm (league cup R2)
Under 18s have a spare weekend and there is no scheduled fixture

Our Under 8s team came down to earth with a bump at home against Gt Bradfords and didn’t manage to score any goals. They were up against a very good Gt Bradfords team.

The Under 12s battled hard to get a 2-2 draw away to Heybridge in a good physical contest, which was probably a fair result. The Bergholt Heath goals were scored by Aaron Marley and Jake Adams and our ‘man of the match’ was Antonio Sabini.

Our Under 13s side had a break from league action by playing in round 2 of the Essex Cordell Cup competition. At home to St Claires ‘B’ from Dagenham they won comfortably 3-0. The Bergholt scorers were Danny Crouchman, Fawaz Oleyboo and Callum Sells. It’s good to see Bergholt Heath represented in the 3rd round of an “whole of Essex” competition.

The Under 15s are still struggling to field a full team and lost this weekend away to Brightlingsea Regents 17-0, but with only 7 players. Despite being very short of numbers, the team did not drop their heads and actually conceded less goals in the second half than they did in the first half – so their fitness must be good!

The Under 16 team lost a close match away to Colchester Athletic 4-3. The manager was much happier this week than in recent games and by all accounts we should have won the game – all 4 of the Colchester Athletic goals being somewhat fortunate whereas the Bergholt goals were all from good team play. Alex Bartlett scored all three of the Bergholt Heath goals.

Finally our Under 18s lost 10-1 away against a very strong Feering Falcon Blues side. Tom Foster scored the Bergholt goal on his debut.

Next weekends fixtures – 24th October:

Halstead Vs Under 8s
Under 12s Vs Bures United KO 10am
Under 13s Vs Colchester Athletic KO 12 noon
The Under 15s match at home to Arlesford Reds has been postponed as we cannot field a team due to injuries and holidays
Under 16s Vs Feering Falcons KO 2pm
Clacton Community Vs Under 18s

The under 8’s played a very entertaining game at home against Bures. Richard Frost scored the pick of Bergholt’s 3 goals with a shot from the edge of the area into the top corner of the net.

The under 12s gained revenge for their poor performance and result at home to Coggeshall last week, winning the reverse fixture away 6-1. After trailing 1-0 at half time with another inept half, stern words from the manager seemed to do the trick and after “watching the game on TV” as one parent put it at half time, they worked harder to win the ball, got their passing going, and ran out comfortable winners. Bergholt Heath’s goals were scored by: Antonio Sabini x 2, James Holden x 2, Gianni Sabini and Jamie Bowden. The Bergholt Heath ‘man of the match’ was Matthew James.

Our under 13 team did not have a match scheduled this weekend.

The under 15s scored their first goal of the season, by George Lowe, but unfortunately still lost away to St Edmunds 11-1. However due to continued absences through injury, they only fielded the minimum 8 players.

Our under 16s team also lost away, to Brightlingsea 3-1 despite having taken the lead. Joshua Claydon scored yet another goal for Bergholt.

The under 18s were beaten at home by Gt Bradfords 6-0. Nothing more to say about that one.

Fixtures for Sunday 17th October:
U8 v Gt Bradfords KO 10.30
Heybridge v U12
U13 v St Clares ‘B’ KO 10 (Essex Cordell Cup)
Brightlingsea V U15
Colchester Athletic v U16
Feering Falcons Blues v U18

The under 8s didn’t have a game as their scheduled match against Coggeshall was postponed as Coggeshall could not raise a team.

The under 12s did play their counterparts at Coggeshall, but were on the end of a very disappointing 2-1 home defeat. Jake Adams scored the Bergholt Heath goal and “man of the match” was Leo Tiffney.

The under 13s gained our solitary point this weekend, drawing 2-2 at home to Harwich and Parkstone. Edward Quilty and Fawz Olabooye scoring the goals for Bergholt Heath.

Unfortunately due to several injuries, our under 15 team had to call off its game at home to Long Melford. Speedy recoveries hoped for!

The under 16s team lost 4-0 away to Halstead Town Blues.

Our under 18s team were only able to field 10 men due to college and work commitments, but battled hard only to eventually lose 4-3 away to Bullers. Alex Ponsford, George O’Connor and Dean Bennell were the Bergholt Heath scorers.

Under 8 v Bures KO 10.30am
Coggeshall v Under 12
