Our Under 9s finished their league season with a 1-1 draw at home to Marks Tey. Thomas Whitlow scoring the Bergholt goal. Next week they start in the ‘end of season trophy’.

The Under 13s were also at home, to Boadicea Dynamos in the quarter Final of the Open Cup. Despite only having the bare 11 players, mainly due to 2 clashing heads in training on Saturday and suffering concussion(!), and another out with a broken arm, Bergholt were 4-0 up at half time through a brace each from Leo Tiffney and Owen Bernhardt. The second half saw Bergholt tire a little with no subs available. Boadicea pulled a goal back before Gianni Sabini scored on the break just before the final whistle. Final score: Bergholt Heath 5 – 1 Boadicea Dynamos. Bergholt Heath ‘man of the match’: Owen Bernhardt.

Our Under 14s and Under 16s both postponed their matches due to lack of players being available.

Finally the Under 18s were away to Little Oakley Reds and for the second week running could not put out a full team. This week with only 9 players they were beaten 4-0. A respectable result considering.

Our under 13s were away to Stanway Rovers in the quarter finals of the League Cup and despite a couple of scares comfortably won 4-2 with the Stanway ‘keeper the man of the match!  bBergholt Heath goal scorers: Leo Tiffney, Owen Bernhardt, Ollie Sanderson and Mickey Whittle.  Bergholt Heath ‘man of the match’: Harry Dixon.

The only other game this weekend saw the under 18s in league action away to Harwich and Parkston. Bergholt could only field a team of 10 players due to work commitments, and the home team ran out comprehensive 13-1 winners. Callum Drage scored the Bergholt Heath goal.

Our under 9s continued their good form in the second half of the season, winning 1-0 at home to Layer Colts. Matthew Sanderson adding to his ever growing tally of goals with the winner.

The under 13s were also at home to bottom of the table Frinton & Walton. Although comfortable 6-0 winners, a good opportunity to really put the visitors to the sword and get the goal difference up to challenge top of the table Cornard Dynamos was missed – some of the boys knew it was an easy game and played accordingly!   Ollie Sanderson scored his first 2 goals of the season (finally getting the bragging rights in the Sanderson household by scoring more than his brother in the under 9s!), with others from Owen Bernhardt, Jake Adams, an own goal and the customary goal from Antonio Sabini completing the scoring.  Bergholt Heath ‘man of the match’: James Hirst.

Neither the under 14s or the under 16s were in action this week.

Finally, the under 18s were also at home, to Clacton United Reds. A strong visiting team ran out 5-1 winners. Ed Disney scored the Bergholt goal.

After what seems ages since they played due to the weather (actually only 2 weeks were missed), Bergholt Heath were back to action this weekend.

The Under 9s were comfortable 4-0 winners away to Marks Tey. Jonah Murray and Matthew Sanderson with 2 goals each.

The Under 13s were in Open Cup action, at home to Great Bentley and run out 7-1 winners. 3-0 up at the break with a first half hat-trick from ‘man of the match’ Antonio Sabini – one via a free kick fired into the roof of the net and another a volley from a corner – Bergholt took their foot of the pedal at the start of the second half and let great Bentley back into the game with the midfield allowing the opposition to run through the middle of the pitch, and Great Bentley duly scored. This, however, woke Bergholt up. An own goal by a Bentley player – who was trying to get in front on Aaron Marley inside the six yard box – soon settled the team down again. Owen Bernhardt got onto the score sheet next, reacting to a blocked shot quickest, before Antonio scored his fourth of the match. With 5 minutes to go, the final goal was scored – Owen running onto a through ball and coolly finishing into the bottom corner.

The Under 16s were the only other team in action this weekend, going down 14-1 at home to Frinton & Walton reds. Thomas Buckley scoring the solitary Bergholt goal, who could only put out a team of 9 players this weekend.

• Under 9 v Layer Colts KO 10.30am
• Under 13 v Frinton & Walton KO 11am
• Under 14 No game
• Under 16 No game
• Under 18 v Clacton Reds KO 2pm

Our Under 9s were at home to Gt Bradfords but despite a good performance they lost 4-2. Jonah Murray and Matthew Sanderson scoring the Bergholt goals. Just a quick mention re one of Bergholt’s Under 9s – Alexander Hopkins – who unfortunately broke his leg in last Sunday’s game vs Reed Hall: Get well soon Alex, we hope to see you playing again soon!

The only other match this weekend was the Under 13s who were away to Frinton & Walton with the managers words still stinging from last week’s poor performance! A much improved effort saw Bergholt comfortably win the game 6-1 and if the home ‘keeper had not been on top form the final result would have been in double figures! Bergholt goal scorers: Aaron Marley, Gianni Sabini, Antonio Sabini, Owen Bernhardt, James Holden and Mickey Whittle. Bergholt ‘man of the match’: Gianni Sabini.

Next weeks’ fixtures – Sunday 5th February:

Just the one match as the season starts it’s final leg: Under 13s Vs Great Bentley in the 2nd round of the Colchester Open Cup (kick off 11am on the Poors Field).
