    u13s v Rugeley Power Station Dynamos

    Shield Semi-Final. Having already lost to these in the League Cup Quarter final a few weeks earlier we new we had a tough match on our hands. Playing our second game in 24hrs, on a hot Sunday afternoon and without our top goalscorer was bad enough… hoping the lads who were ill the day before would turn [...]

    With two games in two days it’s gonna be difficult to give my usual Jamo match report. So many of you will be please to see a brief cut down version. (Sorry boys if I have missed your special moment or got my games mixed up – let me know and I’ll edit it for [...]

    u13s v Brewood

    Local derby today against a very different Brewood team that we faced earlier in the season. There was a number lads from Brewood’s first team ‘helping out’ – one being ex-Penkridge lad Luke Goodman, who is always a threat with his pace and power. A big away support including the manager of their other team [...]

    u13s v Newcastle (Qtr final Sheild)

    Result 1-0 This was a very tough game, against a big physical Newcastle team. The match typified everything you’d expect in a cup tie – with plenty of strong challenges form two very committed teams. The strong wind and Newcastle’s direct approach didn’t help Penkridge play their normal passing game, with much of the game taking place [...]

    u13s v PSV Stone (A)

    A great performance today against runaway league leaders PSV Stone. We played PSV first game of the season and although stepping up a division against the Prem Champions we felt unlucky not to have got something from the game. The return matchturned out to be a similar story. Our boys looked organised and fired up from [...]

    u13s v Stafford Soccer School (A)

    Result 0-0 This was the second time we’ve played Stafford Soccer School away in a couple of weeks. This may have accounted for the stalemate – with both teams aware of individual threats, strengths and weaknesses. Stafford were certainly up for the game – possibly still smarting from the cup defeat a few weeks before! The game [...]

    u13s v Stafford Town (H)

    Result 7 – 0 An all round excellent performance by the boys today, with some wonderful, free flowing football. After focussing on passing, and movement off the ball in training – the theme for the match was to try and pass the other team to death. Anyone present at the game would have seen the lads execute [...]

    v Stafford Soccer School (League Cup) 3-2

    Our visit to Stafford Soccer School was the first time we’ve played back to back weekends since November! Long may it continue. This game turned out to be a typical Cup match with plenty of excitement and vocal support from both sets of supporters. Stafford took the lead against the run of play, with a wonder strike [...]

  • v Chase Stags (South Staffs Cup) 1-2

    v Chase Stags (South Staffs Cup) 1-2

    Our cup run came to an end, away to a strong and well drilled Chase Stags side. This was our first game in almost two months and only second game in three months – which wasn’t the best preparation on what must be one of the biggest football pitches around. At times we played some great one [...]

    u13 v Berkswich Hawks

    After a three weeks without a game, Penkridge couldn’t have asked for a tougher test than 2nd placed Berkswich Hawks. It looked like it was going to be a long afternoon for the home team, when they conceded after just a few minutes. Penkridge failed to stop a strong individual run through midfield and central defence, [...]
