AGM awards

2008-06-16T11:45:00.001-07:00

The Under 9 team came 5^th in our league, scoring over 50 goals.

Johan Warensjo scored 19 goals, just beating Tom Head to the Golden Boot award this year.

We came 8^th out of 40 teams in the U9 sportsmanship league.

The team have all improved greatly this year and performed very well towards the end of the season.

We have some new players who have recently joined the team and we hope to have 15 players next season.

We would like to thanks our parents who support us and help at matches and training.

The Parents’ Player of the Year award goes to someone who parents say has improved in matches since the start of the year and has made a significant contribution to the team’s performance this year. The Parents’ award goes to Ewan Chapman.

The Coaches thought hard about their award. There are lots of contenders: we could easily give the award to several players for overall performance, most goals scored, best teamwork, most passionate etc.

We decided to give it to the player who has improved the most over the last year, someone who works hard in training and now makes a real contribution in matches, Harry Freeman.

Wanborough 2 - Shaw A 3

2008-04-28T15:09:00.000-07:00

The U9s saved their best 'til last with a super performance against
third place Shaw A. Wanborough led twice through a goal from Tom and
another o.g. Unfortunately Shaw took a couple of chances and managed to
nick the three points. This shows how much all the boys have improved
since our 6-0 loss to Shaw at the start of the season.

Our final league position of 5th is very respectable!

Wanborough 3 Penhill 0 - 5th place!

2008-04-27T11:17:00.000-07:00

A battling performance today from the U9s to beat Penhill 3-0 (Johan,
Tom and an o.g.) This was a much much better effort than the loss to
Penhill at home earlier in the season. The defence did especially well
with Samuel and Ewan jointly collecting MoM and Harry getting the
Captain's MoM.

Results elsewhere (South Cerney beat Chiseldon!) mean that we are
guaranteed to finish 5th in our league. Fantastic.

Reminder that k.o. tomorrow is 6.15pm at home vs Shaw (4th in the table)
- meet at 6.00pm and we will be taking a team photo before the match.

Wanborough 7 South Cerney 1

2008-04-26T08:54:00.000-07:00

A great start to our three match weekend. A solid performance with goals
from Johan, Charlie, Tom and Jay (plus an o.g.). Shay was MoM for his
strongest game to date in midfield. Tom chose Charlie as MoM for his
hard work in central defence & midfield.

Result and upcoming training & match...

2008-03-09T09:27:00.001-07:00

An excellent first half today resulted in a 4-0 lead for Wanborough,
good passing and solid defending meant we controlled the match. A bit of
a loss of concentration and energy in the second half saw Pewsham take
the advantage and score a couple of deserved goals. Final score 5-2 to
Wanborough with goals from Tom (hat-trick), Johan and Charlie.

Training tomorrow with Tony and Joe. We may cancel at short notice if
the weather is particularly poor as forecast.

Next week we are at home again in another "should win" match against
South Cerney (Per Axel in charge, 1025 meet for 1045 ko) - please advise
availability ASAP.

Cirencester 2 - 0 Wanborough

2008-03-02T04:47:00.000-08:00

A combination of illness, accident and mother's day meant we could only
field 5 players today. So, after conceeding to Cirencester (official
result 2-0), we borrowed a couple of players and played a friendly. It
was a great game - lots of action, good attacking and defending from
both sides. It finished 4-3 to a good Cirencester team. It showed how
much we have improved since our loss to Cirencester at the start of the
season. Jonathon was MoM for playing well in goal for the second half,
especially his kicking.

No training Monday. Match next week at home to Pewsham (watch for email)

Sunday 17/2 Postponed

2008-02-17T01:29:00.001-08:00

Pitch is frozen.

Sunday 17th

2008-02-16T01:19:00.001-08:00

At home to Shaw (3 points above us in the table - a 6 pointer!). Meet at
school at 10.25 (pitch seems ok). Week off for Jonathon and Will.

AK 4 - Wanborough 10

2008-02-10T04:24:00.000-08:00

A great performance from the whole team again today. 4 goals from Johan
(Captains MoM), 2 from Tom H, and one each for Charlie, Samuel, Jay and
Jonathon. Special mention for Samuel's edge-of-the-box-curler into the
net and Tom's dribble and side footed goal that earned him Coaches MoM.
As last week, lots of passing created the opportunities. The team did
well to keep their heads up when AK started to come back and after
weathering the storm we finshed the game off well.

16 goals in 3 games means we will have to double our "January" target to
20!! A win next week will hit our target of 9 points.

Training on Monday with Per-Axel and Joe Smith. No training in half term
week.

We are at home to Shaw next week (pitch permitting) - watch out for the
email with details.

Sunday 10th

2008-02-09T03:58:00.001-08:00

Full team this week

Chiseldon 1 Wanborough 4

2008-02-03T07:30:00.001-08:00

Well done to the whole team today for a much better performance than
last week. The whole team gets Man of the Match for passing, running
hard and tackling. Great goals from Johan, Charlie with Harry and
Jonathon getting their first goals this year. Charlie took Captains MoM
for a long range goal.

Sunday 3rd

2008-01-31T12:07:00.001-08:00

2pm k.o. at Chiseldon (anyone got an orange ball in case it snows?!)

January target

2008-01-06T04:40:00.001-08:00

After our New Year warm-up match today, we have 4 matches coming up in 4
weeks - all against teams below us in the league. Our aim is to get at
least 7 points (and hopefully 9 points) from these matches out of a
possible 12. We also aim to score at least 10 goals. This will ensure we
keep the good league position we deserve.

Stratton 5 - Wan 1

2008-01-06T04:32:00.001-08:00

Wanborough played well today, a couple of late goals (scored downhill
against tired legs) made the score line look worse than it really was.
Well done especially to Jay (poached another good goal) and Harry
(aggressive tackling).

Sunday 6th

2008-01-04T13:22:00.001-08:00

Match confirmed at Stratton (Baunton Lane, Cirencester) on Sunday. All
available please be there for 10.10 in match kit. Please let us know if

Christmas/New Year

2007-12-23T10:25:00.001-08:00

Not too much pud over Christmas as our next match is 6th Jan. Training
will restart on 7th. We have a busy start to the year with matches every
week until 3 Feb.

Wanborough 5 - AK 4

2007-12-16T04:19:00.001-08:00

A thrilling match today with goals from Johan (2), Tom H (2) and Jay,
and near misses from Jonathon and Arthur. Well done to the whole team
who went 4-1 up as a result of good defending and passing. AK did well
to come back to 4-4 before Johan scored in the last minute to ensure
Wanborough took all three points.

Sunday 15th AWAY at AK

2007-12-15T06:18:00.000-08:00

Match is ON. Meet at 10.10 at Ashton Keynes. Full squad this week except

Sunday 16th Away

2007-12-12T12:51:00.001-08:00

We were due to be at home this week vs Ashton Keynes. Wanborough School
is still unplayable so we have agreed with AK to try to switch our away
match with them. Provisionally kick off is at 1030 (meet 1010 in match
kit) at Ashton Keynes (High Road Playing Fields).
There is a possibility that it will get called off depending on the

by email and here

Sunday 9th

Friendly Match Report

2007-11-25T09:32:00.001-08:00

A great game against Stratton Juniors today. Lots of goals and exciting
football from both teams. We scored some good goals (Johan, Tom and
Charlie), but the big learning point for Wanborough is to ensure the
midfielders get back to help the defenders. We lost a couple of goals
when it was 4 attackers against a lone defender and the goalie and
everyone else standing and watching. Overall we need a bit more effort
and players wanting the ball. We are hoping to play another friendly
against Stratton later in the season.
Captains MoM: Tom H for good work and smashing goal.
Coaches MoM: Johan for working the hardest and deserved goals.

Friendly Sunday 25th - home vs Stratton Juniors

2007-11-19T11:59:00.001-08:00

We have a friendly on Sunday 25th at home vs Stratton Juniors B. Meet at

whole team.

Wanborough 1 - 1 Marlborough

2007-11-04T11:41:00.001-08:00

Marlborough played much better than might be expected from their league
position in an exciting match. A solid defence meant Wanborough had few
clear chances. Johan scored just before half time to take Wanborough
into the break 1-0 up. Marlborough broke free and scored in the second
half to tie the game and despite some thrilling end to end football
neither team manged to score another goal. Man of the match for
Wanborough was Samuel playing in goal. Some remarkable saves including
one tipped over the bar from a well taken free kick earnt him both the
Captain's and Coaches' MoM awards.
Positives: Good possession and challenging for the ball. Newer players
making a good contribution.
Learning points: We still need to see much more passing the ball. No-one
should ever be standing and watching on the pitch (even the goalie!)

[Fwd: Footy on Sunday]

2007-10-31T02:06:00.001-07:00

We are at home to Marlborough on Sunday 4th. Kick off is 10:45am so can
we meet at 10:25am at the school in full match kit. (Week off for Shay
and Ewan)
Our matches before Christmas are 18th Nov, 2nd Dec and 16th Dec. If you
are away/unavailable for any match before Christmas please let Helen
know now so we can plan around it. We will try to arrange a friendly in
between these dates.

Wet wet wet

2007-10-28T06:20:00.001-07:00

A good training session today in the rain. Everyone played well and in
a good spirit. Thanks for Toby and Gareth for goalkeeping and to Andre
for the extra coaching.

Training at Liden as usual on Monday 29th.

Friendly on Sunday 28th

2007-10-25T13:50:00.001-07:00

(don't forget clocks change!).

South Cerney 4 - Wanborough 3

2007-10-21T12:03:00.001-07:00

Wanborough created more chances in this game than they have done all
season! Charlie, Johan and Tom all scored well taken goals. South
Cerny's goalkeeper kept them in the match with some good saves and big
kicks. South Cerney benefited from an unlucky own goal and an
unfortunate penalty. The last ten minutes saw Wanborough having at
least 10 good chances and just not being able to finish. Everyone tried
hard and there were some good passes and crosses.
Well done team (we'll be practising shooting on target at the next
training session!). Man of the Match was George for subduing their
dangerous forward and Ewan's Captain's man of the Match went to Johan
for another good performance.

Half Term

We will take a squad of 9 players to South Cerney. The 9 will be

at training in the next two weeks. Full k.o. details etc nearer the time.

Home defeat to Cirencester

2007-10-08T00:40:00.001-07:00

A first minute penalty for handball and a soft goal in the first seconds
of the second half gave Cirencester far too much confidence and they
ended up winning 9-nil. We can learn a lot from their game - they
challenged for every ball, passed superbly and had many shots on target.
Captain's man of the match was Ewan who made some good saves and kept
his head up despite the goals. William got the man of the match award
for smiling through a tough first game
