Under 9s season ends on a high!

Now for the Cup Final

Penn & Tylers Green FC Under 9s finished off the league games with another gutsy performance against a well organised and good Holtspur team. In lovely March sunshine the boys finished off their league games winning the first two games 1-0, drawing 0-0 and going down 1-3. Again, both teams worked really hard and with each game they are showing they are learning from training and taking this into the playing environment. It has been a great season and the boys have got into a great habit of winning games and not giving up showing fantastic team spirit. Well done on an excellent season and keep working in training and enjoy the Cup Final.

Under 13s County Cup Final Match Report

Success, the Under 13s have won the county cup!!!!

Penn & Tylers Green FC – Windsor Youth FC 2:0 (after extra time)

A great battling performance last Sunday saw us get the reward for all our hard work through the season in lifting the county cup. The venue was Aylesbury F.C. with a kick off time of 2pm. A big thanks to the officials from Aylesbury F.C. and the county officials who made the afternoon a pleasant one.

The Winners - Under 13s

The game was played on a pitch that was not conducive to playing passing football as it was very uneven and bobbly. Consequently I think both teams struggled to show there footballing abilities on the day which was a shame given that I think all the boys would have wanted to show off there talent in the final. Even before the match started we had a small scare in the warm up with Alex Colvered our top scorer suffering from some slight discomfort in his hamstring. Continue reading…

Cup Final for the Under 9s

Penn & Tylers Green FC U9s reach the Cup Final!!!

Penn & Tylers Green FC U9s reached the Cup Final after beating a very good Downley team in a topsy turvy tie in the rain at Downley. Every one of the players excelled and showed great belief and a fighting spirit to turn around a 4-0 loss & a 1-1 draw to win the next two games 4-0 and 3-1.

Darren looks cool

The boys have been showing great team spirit lately and have not let their heads go down after losing the first games and Saturday was another fine example of this. It led to great scenes at the end of the games and made all the coaches and parents proud of all the players. Well done and keep up the hard work in training.

Report by Darren Jones, Under 9s Manager

U12 s promotion secured

Promotion Squad

It has been hard work but the boys have done really well

In all the games we have played so far we have only lost one game and drawn twice, last weekend we played Aylesbury Town away and were 1-0 down within ten minutes but the boys fought really well and came back and made it 1-1. They then went in front 2-1 for Aylesbury to sink one in just before the final whistle making it 2-2. This was a tough game as both teams are fighting for first place in the league, we are currently sitting in first place but the next two games are crucial. We are home to Aylesbury again in a couple of weeks so preparing the boys for a hard game, with courage, strength, skills dedication and fantastic support from all our supporters we are aiming high to stay in top place!! Well done to all the boys who play for Penn & Tylers Green Under 12′s. Keep working as a team and we can aim higher next season!!!

Looking forward to next season and our aim is tough training hard work and pure dedication to get that promotion again, fingers crossed!!!!

Under 16s reach League Cup Final

DICKSON REVELS AGAINST THE REBELS

When I woke up to the sun coming through my curtains this morning my Managers hat went on and straight to work and my first decision was to decide on tracksuit bottoms or shorts.

Ryan Dickson

My first decision was right in choosing the “trackie bottoms” – it was freezing! A wry smile came across my face when I saw Tango dressed in shorts and moaning how cold he was!!

As for my next decision, my thought process changed slightly after hearing the news last night about Fabrice Muamba who is fighting for his life after collapsing on the pitch last night during the Bolton v Tottenham game. We all wish him well in his fight for recovery. Continue reading…

Feelings of a true Football Fan

Fabrice Muamba

“I was at the Tottenham game today and what happened has really shaken. For many years I have experienced all sorts in football and in life but what I saw today shook me to my core. To see a young player having to have CPR administered on the field of play was an experience I never want to go through again, the fact I am sending this at 11 at night  is because I can’t sleep.

When I saw the players looking the way they did you knew it was serious and when I saw the CPR being administered it was horrible, I turned to the people around me and said what they were doing and there faces dropped and the cold realisation of what was going on became so real. Continue reading…

It started so well

Maidenhead United Reserves 3 – Penn & Tylers Green FC 1

The boys in blue and white played at York Road today, as stated on Maidenhead United’s website, the world’s oldest football ground used continuously by the same club.

Before kick off

The boys were confident and it all started so well. The kept pressing and pushing the opposition hard early on and in the 8th minute after neat interplay down the left side Rino Sepede cut inside and scored brilliantly into the far right corner of the goal by lobbing the keeper, who had no chance.
