Our U6 squad took to the pitch for another trio of exciting Summer League fixtures this morning, continuing their development with great spirit, teamwork, and determination.

Game 1 vs Barnhurst North The first match proved a thrilling encounter, with both sides playing at full intensity. Despite a narrow 6–5 loss, the result didn’t reflect the balance of play. We struck the woodwork on multiple occasions and forced several goal-line clearances, showing attacking intent from the outset. The boys played with confidence, creativity, and no shortage of bravery in front of goal—resulting in a flurry of well-earned finishes. It was a game decided by the finest of margins.

Game 2 vs All Stars Our second outing was against one of the strongest sides in the age group. Despite a 3–0 defeat, the squad produced a valiant defensive performance, absorbing pressure while remaining disciplined and organised. The back line and goalkeeper worked tirelessly to keep chances to a minimum, and we created a couple of solid opportunities ourselves. The boys showed resilience and a fantastic team ethic throughout, earning plenty of praise from coaches and spectators alike.

Game 3 vs Barnhurst South We ended the morning on a high with a commanding 6–3 win, perhaps our most complete display of the day. The team played with excellent structure and intensity, moving the ball quickly and pressing high. A clinical attacking performance saw six goals shared across the squad, with some superb individual strikes and excellent teamwork in the build-up. It was a wonderful way to round off a competitive block of matches and build momentum as preparations continue for the upcoming league season.
