MWL U9 Zone D - Worton & Cheverell Wizards v CCCFC Blacks |
 |
|
An early morning trip through the back roads and fields of Wiltshire brought the Colts to Worton & Cheverell for what turned out to be a very enjoyable, competitive and end-to-end match.
With the presentation of the new “anthem jackets” to the team prior to the game, the Blacks looked and felt the part. Adding to this, the beautiful gesture from the club of the poppies on the shirt was warmly received (and the meaning discussed at great length) by the players who wore their poppies with immense pride.
Prior to kick-off, the one minute silence was impeccably observed by all in attendance.
Both keepers were tremendous today, especially one outstanding save by Riley K
Solid from Ruby, Thomas & Scarlet at the back - which allowed the endeavour of Otis, Oliver, Ruben & Harry.
Ethan & Riley N continue to put away the chances created by the midfield quartet.
On a day when remembering our fallen took priority, it was so good to see two sets of kids thoroughly enjoying a great game of football played with great spirit.
Thank you to Worton & Cheverell also for being great hosts (and their coach, who refereed and was very encouraging to both sides throughout the game - especially one great tackle from Rocket Ruby). They made a very long journey worthwhile and for that we thank them.

MWL U9 Zone D - AFC Corsham Jaguars v CCCFC Blacks |
|
|
A misty autumnal morning at Leafy Lane - the Blacks faced a familiar opponent in the Jaguars of Corsham.
A high scoring affair in the end with a flurry of goals in the second half.
The Jaguars had an outstanding forward who punished us on the few occasions Ruby & Scarlet allowed him. A very competitive game right up to the final whistle.
Thomas had a very good game, including scoring our opener and his first of the season in the league.
Riley K continued his improvement in goal and his distribution was quicker, which was pleasing.
Oliver anchored the midfield and his interplay with Ruben was often too much for the opposition.
Harry almost opened his account for the Blacks with a well struck shot.
Riley N & Otis were constant threats down the flanks, both carried the ball well and it was the result of one of these runs saw Otis score a brilliant breakaway.
Our stand out player on the day was birthday boy Ruben, who scored two well taken goals and also linked very well with all the Blacks.
Great support as we've come to expect from the Blacks Ultras........and there was birthday cake too!

MWL U9 Zone D - CCCFC Blacks v Trowbridge Town Warriors |
|
|
Lovely morning for football as we faced the Warriors of Trowbridge Town FC.
The most well matched game we've had this season - very well officiated by Charlie.
The Warriors were brilliant, especially their goalkeeper - who pulled off a series of great saves.
The Blacks were equally brilliant, the goals coming from Oliver, Riley & Ruben.
Some encouraging team play and stand out defending from Thomas, Ruby & Scarlet.
Otis, Ruben, Oliver & Riley linked up very well in midfield & attack.
Thanks to the support from the Warriors & Blacks fans. And thank you to Tim for his fantastic photos.

Very good display from the Blacks in the three group games.
Riley K - great saves when called upon, even getting caught up in the net didn't deter him.
Scarlet - really impressive start to her football career. Positional awareness beyond her years.
Thomas - led the team superbly and pressed the opposition as instructed.
Ruby - all action, covered every fake blade of the 3G. Made some brilliant recovery tackles.
Otis - attack the right wing with pace and skill before unleashing some powerful strikes - 2 goals
Oliver - great dribbling skills and got his head up to make some incisive passes - 4 goals
Riley - great skills and work ethic, was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet today
Ethan - two great finishes, led the line and always found space up top - 2 goals
Great support from the Blacks family as always.
Get well soon Harry & Ruben! |

MWL U9 Zone D - CCCFC Blacks v Chippenham Town Blues |
|
|
We faced our friends from Chippenham Town Blues in a competitive game at the home of football.
The Blues have vastly improved since we met them twice last year. They played good football and I'm sure will have a good season.
The goalscorers for the Blacks were Ruben, who bravely slotted home the opener. In doing so, he injured his knee and played no more part in the game. Hopefully, he's a quick healer and is back out on the field again soon.
Riley N despatched a penalty high into the top corner after his original shot had been handled on the line by a defender.
Oliver added two well taken goals in the second half.
Riley K was excellent between the sticks and couldn't get near the Blues goals. He was again well served by Ruby & Scarlet infront of him - both were great.
Otis's dribbling skills were on display and Harry had a good debut for the Blacks.
Ethan battled hard and showed good leadership skills after we lost our skipper Ruben early on.
There was great support from both sets of supporters....and lovely cake & bacon rolls :)
