BFC Under 13 Braves

BFC Braves U13's Vs Ringwood Town

Braves 3 - Ringwood 5

Wow! What a game! The second game of the season for 'The Braves' and yet again some real spirit being demonstrated on the pitch by the lads.



Ringwood Town started off well with some strong attacking identifying early on that if they lobbed it over the central defence they'd catch us wanting and as a consequence we conceded a couple of early goals. But you know what? It didn't matter to the Braves because they came steaming on back at 'em, showing the characteristic "fire in their belly" they've demonstrated before when the chips have been down.



We made 'em work extremely hard for their win, the 5 -3 score demonstrating that we kept on giving it our all to the final whistle. Testament to the boys performance was perhaps that Ringwoods manager made a point of sying to me how impressed he was with the strength of the Braves as a team saying, "blimey, you lot are alot stronger this season than you were last season!"



'Man of the Match' this time was Tristan Jalie who was all over the attacking strikers like a bad rash!



Well done fellas, second match and going from strength to strength!!!

U12s - Match Report 6th September 2009

New Milton Town Robins 0 Broadstone FC 5

The Broadstone team were full of anticipation for the first game of the season and started well with a comprehensive 5 nil victory. The first 20 minutes were quite tense and despite strong wing play from Joe Holden Broadstone were foiled by the woodwork (twice) and a series of offsides (once they learn that offside rule things will be far easier). At the other end the defence was on top with Lewis King performing well on his debut, David Massieu-King and Will Hammond keeping the New Milton attack at bay.

Tom Wilson opened the scoring on 20 minutes with a powerful shot into the top corner. Nick Clarke then put Broadstone 2 nil up with a great run through the centre of the New Milton defence and a good finish from close range.

Broadstone started the second half where they had left off in the first and Tom Wilson scored the third goal with a clever lob. New Milton then came back and it took 2 fine saves from David Saunders to stop them reducing the deficit.

The fourth goal was a team goal with Tyler Gregory, Tom Wilson and Daniel (Ted) Chandler combining to create the chance for James Hegarty who belted it into the back of the net.

The final goal was a great solo effort from Ted whose powerful shot was too good for the New Milton goalkeeper. The game finished with Broadstone on top and the New Milton goal keeper had to make good saves from Jake Burke and Josh Hansford amongst others.

The game ended 5 nil and Lewis King was named man of the match for his strong defensive performance.

This was a great start to the season lads with a good performance, lots of goals and a clean sheet – let’s keep it going against Poppies on Tuesday night.
