| AS M.K. Wanderers U14 Kestrels who were champions of Division 2 (season 2005-06). |
"After consolidating their position in Division 1 last season, the MK Wanderers U15A's are looking for a higher placed finish this season. With the addition of a few new players and a coaching set up which is second to none in the league, both Jackie and Simon are confident the team will do well this season." |
Summer Tournaments 2007
"Having won silverware at four out of the seven summer tournaments entered, the boys can be very proud of their achievements. Winners on tour in Bournemouth and at the local tournaments of Water Eaton and Downs Barn, the boys also won the plate at the MK Wanderers Kestrels Tournament, the boys also qualified out of their groups in all the other tournaments - a big well done from all the parents and coaching staff."
Both teams then played in the Water Eaton tournament, with team 1 winning their group and team 2 coming runners up in their group. Again both team went on to reach the semi-finals and played each other, with team 1 this time coming out winners and they went on to win the tournament, beating a strong ISE team from Northampton 3 - 0 in the finals, with Jamie Cox scoring the first two goals and Harry Melhuish getting the third.
Well done to both teams and to all the boys who showed great team spirit and friendship throughout all three tournaments. The boys still have three more tournaments to compete in and are hoping to add to their collection of silverware. |

MK Wanderers A 6 V 1 City Colts Stallions
That’s more like it!!!
After last week’s poor performance away at City Colts Stallions, the coaching staff were looking for a significantly improved performance from the players. Being at home meant the boys would be able to play with their customary width and if they could put the performance in, with their slick passing and movement.
The game could not have got off to a better start as within 22 seconds they were a goal up. Some quick interplay saw Pius Ofori through on goal and he calmly slotted home to make the score 1 – 0 within a minute. On 6 minutes the Wanderers doubled their lead when a great through ball from Dan Hassell saw Derrick control on his chest, turn the defender and thump home the ball 2 – 0. Two soon became three when on 15 minutes a sublime pass from Jamie Cox fell to Pius who bent his shot around the keeper 3 – 0. The Wanderers then fell in to the bad habit they have picked up of trying to hit the strikers to early and from to deep and although they kept turning the Stallions defence it was easy for them to make some good cover tackles and deny the chances. Defensively the Wanderers contained the Stallions well and Dale Marlow in defence was having a great game, as was Tom Thornton out wide on the left. Dan and Jason were solid at Centre backs and Sam didn’t really need to make a save, however the Stallions showed how dangerous they can be when on 27 minutes they broke hard out wide right and when the ball wasn’t cleared, it was thumped in to the box and bounced unluckily off a Wanderers player to make the score 3 – 1.
The second half saw the Kestrels playing down the slope and the Stallions really pressing to further reduce the deficit. However the Wanderers defence held firm and from the front they kept their shape and restricted the Stallions to long-range efforts or corners. When they did threaten in the box, Sam in goal was in no mood to be beaten again and he pulled off a couple of excellent saves, one double save in particular being superb. The Wanderers soaked up this pressure and gradually started to impose themselves again and on 21 minutes Pius broke free of the defence and the only way to stop him getting away his shot was a tackle from behind and the referee had no hesitation in awarding the spot kick. With regular penalty taker Jamie Cox off the pitch with an injury, Dan Hassell stepped up to slot the ball home calmly and make the score 4 – 1. Four then became five when Joe Hooper hit a great long range shot right of the keeper and the scoring was wrapped up by Derrick MacDonald who grabbed his second with a calmly taken effort in the box.
This was a great team performance and proved that when they play football, the team is a match for anyone.
Man of the match as chosen by Club Chairman Aitch White, went to Sam Jay for his great display in goal. |
