Fixtures Info

There is no match on Sat 15th Mar due to a lack of players on both teams as a result of an inter-schools tournament. This is another blow to our match schedule so, in order to get our games in before the season ends, we are going to have to play on Easter Saturday 22nd. Can you please let me know a.s.a.p if you are NOT available on that day so I can check numbers.

Please note that the AFA cup final is on the 5th April, which is the start of the school holdays. Unfortunately, I will be away (and Dylan) and will miss what should be a fantastic day. Please can you let me know if you, too, are unable to make it so I can finalise the team. The venue will be announced shortly and I understand that it is quite a large event, with teams from different age groups playing in their respective finals. I believe that the younger age groups will play in the morning but I will confirm when I am given details.

Thanks, Adam

Fixture: Sat 8th March- Friendly - Minchenden v Abbey Youth

At Home but on pitch next to our usual
Meet at 10:00am

Result: Sat 1st March AFA Cup Semi Final - Minchenden 1 Winchmore 0

Fantastic result and bring on the final!

Today we showed that we are back in form with a controlled performance all round. Defensively, we looked very solid and even when Winchmore Hill did make it through, about 15 minutes in, with a fierce, wind-assisted strike Djan was quick to react and push the ball over the crossbar. The wind continued to play a large part in the game but both sides seemed to cope reasonably well.

After the break, we started the way we ended the first half, with great enthusiasm and began to look favourites for the match. Tom was really starting to cause their defence some problems and when a well-worked move saw the ball threaded through to Tom, he managed to outpace the defenders and keep a cool head to finish with a clinical low strike.

Winchmore Hill tried to respond but our strong midfield managed to close down the play and prevent the opposition from settling on the ball. Our defenders also worked well to push out of the box when the ball was cleared thus forcing the attack away from the danger area.

Well done lads. Keep it up - ADAM
