At the Academy !

Today at citys academy was always going to be a challenge, as the boys who we were playing were either on the brink of the citys "elite squad" or fighting for a place in it.

The change of format to 6v6 and the small sided pitch didn`t help the egerton boys and it took a few games to adapt.
The city coach insisted he "warm up" our boys too, and put them through his pre match drills that they did with ease which was pleasing to see.

There is no need to write about the city goals tally on the day , but i feel we should take as many positives from todays game as we can ,3 great goals by Jack and a screamer from Ed left me and the boys happier overall ,
The keepers played their part too as you can imagin, they were peppered from all angels all morning, but all the boys i feel played their part against a more tallented and stronger opposition.
The final words from the city coach,
Well done today on being Polite, playing football the right way never giving up playing football with a smile on your face, you are a credit to your parents,manager,coach and your football club,
and you will be invited back soon !
The chat i had with him he said city benefitted from the day more than Egerton , in what way i dont know, i have asked Mark Burton to find out!

So well done to you all a big thankyou to all the parents for giving up your sunday mornings today.

Tell the boys , There was no result today , it was all about the performance.

Enjoy your week off and see you on saturday

Something for the coaches to work on in training?

Egerton Panthers U9’s 2 – 2 Vale Juniors

The Panthers had to work hard to earn a draw against very good opposition. Egerton started brightly with Ed Franklin going close with a couple of long range efforts which just missed the target. Adam Lee looked sharp and worked tirelessly up front as the Pumas looked to open the scoring. Vale came in to the game and Mitchell Brown and Ben Haselden battled for every ball to keep their attackers at bay. Both teams had to make goal line clearances to keep the match evenly balanced at half time. A stirring team talk at the break earned instant dividends when a through ball from Archie Phillips pierced the Vale defence and Leo Buckley pounced to prod in a rebound off the post. Vale replied with an instant equaliser and minutes after taking the lead Egerton found themselves 2-1 down courtesy of an unfortunate own goal. The Panthers changed shape and went to all out attack. Luke Granger and Andy Price went close and on another day the prolific Archie Phillips would surely have added to his seasons tally but for some fine goalkeeping. At the other end man of the match Jasper Kearns had plenty to do and a number of very good saves and excellent handling kept his side in the game. The pressure finally told when Vale conceded a penalty and Leo Buckley made no mistake slamming the ball home to give the keeper no chance. The Panthers pushed and pushed for a winner but it wasn’t to be and had to settle for a well earned draw.


Team: Adam Lee; Andy Price; Archie Phillips; Ben Haselden; Ed Franklin; Jasper Kearns; Leo Buckley; Luke Granger; Mitchell Brown

Egerton Pumas U9’s 4 – 1 Vale Juniors

Egerton signalled their intent straight from the kick off when a neat move down the left ended with Stan Smith cutting inside and clipping a shot against the foot of the post.  The Pumas were up against good opposition and had to work hard in all areas of the pitch to control the game.  A clever change in formation by the management midway through the first half created a chance for Jack Curbishley to race clear and open the scoring.  The Pumas were playing well with Tom Quenby snuffing out danger and Matt Willis handling everything Vale could throw at him with confidence.  Ben Henthorn was looking to celebrate his birthday in style bringing the ball out of defence and trying his luck from distance.  After the interval, a marvellous ball over the top by Bradley Hargreaves set Jack Curbishley racing clear of the Vale defence to who scored with a superb low drive.  At this point Egerton seemed to be cruising with Olivia French bossing the midfield and playing telling passes while Freddie Sass and Liam Birnie pushed on at every opportunity.  Vale pulled a goal back and suddenly Egerton seemed set for a nervy finish.  Instead of clinging on for a slender victory the Pumas were inspired.  Man of the match Stan Smith created space in the box before finishing emphatically and then shortly afterwards rolled the ball into Jack Curbishley who finished with aplomb to wrap up a another super hat-trick.

Davenham 3 – 2 Egerton Panthers U9’s

The Panthers suffered their first defeat of the season in a thrilling end to end match. Egerton almost scored first when Leo Buckley’s effort struck the post rolled across the line but somehow stayed out. Davenham came back strongly and hit the post themselves with Archie Phillips clearing off the line. Slowly, Egerton were taking control but were stunned by two Davenham goals scored in quick session. Credit it to the Panthers as they fought back with goals from Leo Buckley and Archie Phillips to level the score at half time. The second half was the same as the first with both teams fully committed to clinching victory. Chances were created at both ends and excellent defending by man of the match Andy Price kept the Panthers in the game. Mitchell Brown produced a brilliant flying save to keep out a goal bound effort only for the ball to be turned back in to give Davenham a narrow win.


Team: Adam Lee; Andy Price; Archie Phillips; Ben Haselden; Ed Franklin; Leo Buckley; Mitchell Brown

Davenham 1 – 3 Egerton Panthers U9’s

Bradley Hargreaves turned in a man of the match performance terrorising the Davenham defence with tricky runs and dangerous crosses.  The Pumas took the lead when in a goal mouth scramble; Freddie Sass created enough space to turn the ball in after a one-two with the post.  Davenham played their part in an entertaining game and Ben Henthorn and Tom Quenby had to be at their best to keep the opposition at bay.  Egerton almost extended their advantage when a ferocious Hargreaves free kick was parried by the keeper to Jack Curbishley whose shot clipped the bar and went to safety.  After the break, Egerton pushed on and when Bradley Hargreaves’ corner carried to the far post Stan Smith was there to crash a diving header in off the bar. Davenham responded and Matt Willis did well to turn a shot on to the post. Ben Henthorn broke from defence with a surging run and shot, Stan Smith kept the ball alive and Jack Curbishley gratefully accepted to slot the ball home.  The hosts continued to play their part and picked up a consolation just before the final whistle.

Latest From The Man In The Middle

Egerton vs Sandbach United

SEASON STASTICS 2009-10

Egerton Pumas U9’s 2 – 0 Sandbach United

The Pumas started brightly and star player of the week Olivia French almost opened her account for the season when her well placed shot came back off the post. Moments later Jack Curbishley’s through ball released Stan Smith who calmly beat the keeper but again the post intervened. Egerton kept pressing and finally took the lead when Freddie Sass picked out Bradley Hargreaves wide on the left who checked on to his right, before scoring from a tight angle with a fierce low drive. After the break, the Pumas continued to dominate with Ben Henthorn breaking forward, although Matt Willis had to react smartly as Sandbach threatened on the counter attack. Tom Quenby was desperately unlucky to not score when first a lovely team move ended with a great first time shot just wide, and then shortly after he got on the end of a cross only to see his effort cannon off the post to safety. The Pumas created a host of opportunities and just when it looked like they couldn’t buy a goal, Bradley Hargreaves’ corner was deflected in to wrap up the victory.


Team: Ben Henthorn; Bradley Hargreaves; Freddie Sass; Jack Curbishley; Matt Willis; Olivia French; Stan Smith; Tom Quenby

Egerton Panthers U9’s 2 – 1 Sandbach United

The Panthers dominated the early exchanges and took the lead early on when a Leo Buckley corner floated out to Ed Franklin who controlled neatly before firing home. Going behind spurred Sandbach as they came back strongly, Andy Price kept Egerton ahead with a desperate goal line clearance. At the other end Luke Granger showed great strength to win the ball and saw his low drive hit the post. As the game swept from end to end, Sandbach got back in the game when Jasper Kearns couldn’t quite keep out a spectacular long range effort. Sandbach tails were up and it took a wonderful last ditch tackle by man of the match Ben Haselden to keep the scores level. In the second half, Egerton took control once more and almost got back in front when Ed Franklin’s piledriver was defelected just over the bar. At the other end Liam Birnie had to be alert to snuff out the threat of counter attacks. Eventually, the winner came from a route one move when a Jasper Kearns clearance broke to Adam Lee who still had plenty to do but managed to clinch the victory with a powering run and unstoppable finish.


Team: Adam Lee; Andy Price; Ben Haselden; Ed Franklin; Jasper Kearns; Leo Buckley; Liam Birnie; Luke Granger

Winsford Diamonds 0 – 5 Egerton Panthers U9’s

Egerton coped with difficult conditions the better of the two teams with man of the match Ben Henthorn and Matthew Willis coping brilliantly with both gales and onrushing attackers. Playing into the wind Egerton, took the lead when Luke Granger slotted home coolly. Bradley Hargreaves was a constant threat down the right and Stan Smith nearly profited at the far post. A second was added before the break when a fantastic through ball by Ben Henthorn picked out Jack Curbishley who made no mistake from the edge of the area. The Panthers didn’t let up after half time and Freddie Sass soon threaded the ball to Jack Curbishley who picked up his second of the game and sixth of the season. A fourth came from route one tactics when a long clearance by Mitchell Brown fell to Bradley Hargreaves who pushed the ball wide before crashing the ball home from the edge of the area. There was just time for Stan Smith to chase a lost cause and win possession before calmly slipping the ball past the keeper.

Winsford Diamonds 4 – 4 Egerton Pumas U9’s

Not even the howling gale could separate the two sides in an exciting encounter. Winsford opened the scoring before Leo Buckley equalised with a thunderbolt from the left. The Diamonds again took the lead from a corner and again Buckley pegged the opposition back after Egerton pressured the defence. Winsford re-took the lead with a well worked goal and then extended it to a two goal margin to put the game seemingly beyond the Pumas. Egerton, however, had other ideas and were soon back in it when Liam Birnie latched on to a through ball from Adam Lee. Man of the match Leo Buckley capped a fine performance by completing his hat trick to make sure the spoils were shared.


Team: Adam Lee; Andy Price; Ben Haselden; Ed Franklin; Jasper Kearns; Leo Buckley; Liam Birnie; Tom Quenby;

MANAGERS INTERVIEW AFTER SANDBACH UTD GAME

Hargreaves said after todays game "It was our toughest test of the season so far and this showed early on as we struggled to get our passing game going putting ourselves under alot of pressure but coped well with it in defence we always looked in control of the game but a few mistakes allowed them a few chances. In the end we worked hard enough to get a vital win against strong opposition and carry our unbeaten run this season to five games".
