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.

Camden&Islington Youth League

Under 9s North Division Friday Sept 28th

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.

Fri Sept 7th 2007
Recreativo Juniors 1-3 Regents Park

Market Road was bathed in glorious sunshine for this early evening fixture, the first ever league game for Recreativo Juniors. A fleet of cars had left Stoke Newington straight after school crammed with an excited and eager squad of players, as well as a sizeable group of parents and supporters.

The team looked great in the new kit and were quick to take to the astro turf pitch and get on with the game. Every player put in a fantastic performance as proud parents watched from the terrace. Despite going two goals down, the team never gave up and with some neat footwork managed to find a way through the Regents Park’s defence. Ollie Goldblatt slotted home from the edge of the box, a well taken goal and a huge roar went up from our support. It made the hairs on the back of your next stand up! Brilliant!
Lara Tollington never gave up, tackling and getting in the thick of it and Jaden Stephenson chased down every ball. Overall, a great performance from everyone in the squad.
We said that results don’t really matter at this stage, but putting on the kit, taking part, playing as a team and having fun are what it’s all about. Well done Recreativo Juniors!

Dear all

Firstly may we extend our warm welcome thanks for your support in the setting up of our football club. We are about to embark on our very first season playing regular league football in the Camden & Islington Youth League, an exciting prospect for us all as players, coaches, parents and supporters of Recreativo Juniors FC.

For the majority (if not all) of the players, this will be the very first opportunity to play in a proper organised league, in full kit, with referees and a league table to look at every week! We have been drawn to play in the Camden & Islington Youth League North Division alongside Under 9 teams from Crown & Manor FC, Hampstead, Iseldon Wolves, Harbour FC, Primrose Hill Soccer School, Islington Tufnell Youth and Regents Park.

We have a squad of 12 players.

The matches will be 8-a-side. We will pick the team depending on who is available (we realise that some players may not be able to make every game) and intend to treat every player equally and make sure they get their fare share of time on the pitch. No one has yet asked to take the goalie's gloves, so each player shall be rotated to share goalkeeping responsibilities.

We have a squad of 12 players:
