WAKEFIELD UNITED

ROTHWELL JUNIORS

SUNDAY 6TH JANUARY – HOME

 Post Christmas match blues for Wakefield United U11s as they lost 9-0 at home to Rothwell Juniors.  Wakefield gave a gutsy performance but it wasn't enough as the home team struggled to fire any shots on target.  Excellent performances came from the GBM Player of the Match Joe Newman whose enthusiasm shone throughout and defenders Bhavin Patel and Daniel Clark.  Goalkeeper Cameron Dye also gave a super display.  Individually Wakefield have some excellent players and all that is needed now is for the team spirit to return.  Nevertheless a good effort from Wakefield, better luck next week boys.

FINAL SCORE - WAKEFIELD UNITED  0 - 9  ROTHWELL JUNIORS

SUNDAY 13TH JANUARY 2008 - HOME

 A scrappy start to the match from Wakefield enabled Royston to capitalise and take an early lead in the first round of this cup encounter.  Royston continued to press hard in the first half however United battled well with some good defensive work from Jake Tolson and Bhavin Patel.  Wakefield went into the second half with a renewed vigour with some superb shots from Connor Playford that unfortunately just wouldn't hit the back of the net.  The home team continued to keep their heads high and eventually the elusive goal came from a one-two move from Connor Playford and Daniel Clark who subsequently shot a super volley past the Royston keeper.  Some excellent play at times from Wakefield with a particular mention to Joe Newman, James Murphy and Joe Howard with the GBM Player of the Match being awarded to Josh Couser who ran his socks off throughout the game.  The scoreline however did not reflect the spirit of this game at a 9-1 win for Royston, the match was anything but a whitewash as Wakefield gave a very good account of themselves.  Super play boys this week with a great team effort and good performances also from keeper Cameron Dye, Jamie Clarke and Lewys Irvine.
