Boys under 14s

The West Midlands u14 Boys, weakened by the loss of some key players, made the worst possible start by conceding a 3 rd  minute goal from a poorly defended corner and Warwickshire went on to shade the rest of the first half in this top of the table clash. Maciej Rosiak provided our main attacking threat, forcing the Warwickshire goalkeeper into some good saves and we were extremely unlucky not to be awarded a penalty after he went to ground under pressure after a strong run i

The West Midlands u14 Boys produced a stunning 5-1 victory at Castle Vale this evening to keep their championship hopes alive with fine goals from Khary McDonald, Ralph O’Connor, Gabe Crowton and a brace from top scorer Harry Webb. The win was thoroughly deserved but only a supreme optimist could have predicted such a comprehensive margin of victory over a Staffordshire side that had already beaten us twice this season!

The u14 Boys now have a mountain to climb in the second half of the season if they are to get back into title contention after this disappointing 3-1 defeat at Lilleshall. The match was probably closer than the score suggests but the home side were able to convert their chances whilst we only found the net once through Dimari McMillan. Well done to Shropshire and thanks for the hospitality.

West Midlands’ u14 Boys lost 1-0 to Staffordshire at Stafford Town but this game was much closer then when the two sides last met in the ESFA Trophy. It was end to end all evening, with both teams spurning some great chances, and in truth it could have ended 5-5 on the balance of play. Nevertheless, our hosts did get the one goal that really mattered and it was very frustrating to come away with nothing having earlier hit the bar and the post!

West Midlands’ u14 Boys entertained Staffordshire in this ESFA Cup game at Castle Vale with a place in the last eight of the National cup competition at stake but we were eventually well beaten and our old rivals will now be at home to Hertfordshire in the Quarter Final.

West Midlands’ u14 Boys travelled to Warwickshire and came away with a remarkable victory in their first Midland Counties Federation League game of the season but this was by no means a one man performance. Harri Tom Afewerki and Gabe Crowton each scored a brace and George Kumar, Ralph O’Connor and Harry Webb were also on target but this was an evening when all the lads were truly on fire. !

West Midlands’ u14 Boys travelled to South Yorkshire for the opening round of the ESFA Inter County Cup and emerged with an impressive 2-0 victory. This was always going to be a game of few chances and it took a fine brace of goals from Harry Webb to take through to the next stage of this National competition.
