Iseldon Wolves 3-1 Recreativo

Camden& Islington Youth League Under 9s

Juniors Fri Oct 12th

This was our third league match, but already we are learning fast. A new found confidence has spread throughout the squad and we are beginning to play as a team. From kick off Recreativo are straight out of the starting blocks with an eagerness to get first to every ball and take the game into the opposition’s half.
Benji and Daniel both done well slotting in as full-backs alongside Jaye in defence. Louis and Sam use the wide flanks well and track back when needed. We had watched the Wolves play a previous game so knew we were up against up a fairly decent side. And despite going in 2-0 down at half time, we came out and matched them in every position across the park. Being a fairly new team to this league we played tonight with real unity and were rewarded with another superb goal from Jaden.
We lost the game tonight, but won the hearts of our ever growing support who witnessed such a brilliant effort from every player in a red shirt! Bring on the next game!

Team (all played) : Ollie Goldblatt, Jaye Paul, Daniel Garcia-Fernandez, Benji Barbour-Ricketts, George Wakefield, Lara Tollington, Harry Butcher, Storm Gregory-Hickling, Zeki Bolat, Sam Abdullah-Kirton, Louis Dillon, Jaden Stephenson.

Crown & Manor 5-2 Recreativo Juniors (Goals : Stephenson)

Market Road is cold grey and wet this evening, but nothing dampens the spirits of the Juniors squad as we warm up twenty minutes before kick off. It’s a great turn out once again, by both players and supporters.

The first half is fairly balanced with both teams getting stuck in. Zeki Bolat shows real drive and determination trying to force his way through the Crown & Manor defence. Unfortunately as the game goes on the opposition create a few more chances and put two past us before half time.
The second half sees us slightly out-muscled in midfield, a problem that will only be remedied by further experience of playing at this level. Despite five goals scored against us, Jaden Stephenson charged his way into the Crown & Manor araea and scored two great goals. It’s a delight for all of us to see him sprint away, with the rest of the team chasing after him cheering, celebrating and smiling!

The team are slightly disappointed at the final whistle, but back in the dressing room the spirits are high, the score already forgotton and the countdown has already begun to get back out there for our next game.

Team (all played) : Harry Butcher, Jaye Paul, Sam Abdullah-Kirton, Lara Tollington, Louis Dillon, George Wakefield, Storm Gregory-Hickling, Zeki Bolat, Benji Barbour-Ricketts, Daniel Garcias Fernandez, Jaden Stephenson.
