Egerton v Weaverham

Weaverham 0-5 Egerton Pumas

A rousing team talk and a change in warm up seemed to do the trick for the Pumas as within minutes of the kick off, they were 1-0 up. Bradley found space down the right to whip a cross to the back post, which was met on the half volley by Stan, his effort cannoning in off the post. 1-0 Egerton. Ben, playing for the second week in midfield, had a chance to make it 2-0 from close range but his effort was well saved. Matt then saved from a tame shot by Weaverham. Jack was back to his all action self this week and his strength and link up play with Ben was too much for Weaverham to handle. A long ball from defence fell to Jack with his back to goal, he showed great ability to turn, create space for himself to fire a long range shot, which stung the hands of the keeper, the re-bound fell to Brad who couldn’t keep his shot down. Somehow the score was still 1-0! The Pumas were awarded a freekick 20 yards out, the kick was set to Ben to strike, only for it to fly narrowly wide. The 2nd goal came shortly after, once again a long ball fell to the feet of Jack, turning with his head up he spotted Bradley in space, played the perfect ball for Bradley to run onto and smash home from the edge of the area, great play and finish. 2-0. Weaverham heads dropped and within minutes a quick break saw Ben pick the ball up in midfield, with space in front of him he pushed forward, beat two players before composing himself to fire beyond the keeper .3-0. Weaverham were creating nothing in the first half and many would say it was the uphill disadvantage, others would say it was the battling of Mitch, snapping at any player that came near him until they no longer wanted the ball. Freddie’s no nonsense defending got him a talking to from the referee. Archie wanted in on the action and he fed Adam a ball to run onto and strike, the keeper only managing to parry the ball to Stan, who easily tapped home his 2nd. 4-0 Egerton. Weaverham then had a rare chance to score, only to see them shoot wide. It wasn’t long before Egerton were back on the attack and a neat one two with Adam saw Archie race into the box to slot home the Pumas 5th. 5-0 HT.

The second half saw the pumas play uphill, which saw their quick counter attacking play harder to achieve and limited the number of chances to only a few. Weaverham were using the downhill slope to their advantage and a swift bit of play saw them hit the post. Then came the controversial moment in the match, Jack burst into the box, knock the ball past the on rushing keeper who’s dive sent Jack tumbling to the ground, Penalty?? Not according to the man in black who awarded a goal kick. Let’s just say he wasn’t a popular man with our number 11! The game only created one more chance which fell to Weaverham, however Matt was equal to it and palmed it around the post. Great performance by the Pumas today, poor pitch and a strong Weaverham side made the victory all the more sweeter. FT 5-0

Team: Matt-Ben Hen-Bradley-Stan-Jack-Freddie-Archie-Mitch



Weaverham 8-8 Egerton Panthers

The Panthers started this game as the Pumas had finished, playing to their strengths and passing the ball around brilliantly. As in the first game, the Panthers scored quickly, great strength by Ollie saw him smash home from the edge of the area .1-0. Weaverham then had a great chance to equalise, but 1st half keeper Alex made a great save. Up at the other end, Leo used his strength and skill to create a chance for himself only to see his shot fly wide, was he finding his range? Weaverham equalised from a corner, the Panthers failed to clear and the ball was poked home. 1-1. Egerton were soon back in front, Tom picked the ball up in defence, transformed himself into Iniesta and played a through ball, worthy of a champions league final, into the path of Ollie to slot home to regain the lead. 2-1. With their tails now up, Egerton were on the attack again, Leo picked the ball up, took on a player before unleashing a strike from outside of the area into the top corner. 3-1. Then came the passing move of the game, with Tom, Luke, Ed and Ollie all linking before playing a through ball to Leo, who beat the keeper to the ball to chip over the him for his second of the game .4-1. Weaverham were on the ropes and a mistake of Gomes proportions by their keeper saw him pick the ball up, throw it out of his hands directly to Ollie, who looked at the ref to see if he could play on, he could, so he slotted the ball into the bottom corner for his hat trick! 5-1. Weaverhams star player had been quiet for most of the first half, however he sparked into life by whipping a free kick into the box to see it cannon off Ben to make it 5-2. With Ed struggling with an injury to his knee picked up earlier in the game, Weaverhams number 9 was given more space and began causing all kinds of problems. He managed to score 2 more goals in quick succession to bring the score to 5-4. Once again the Panthers kicked into gear and good midfield play lead to a chance falling to Isaac who smashed home from close range 6-4. The half was to end with a strong run and shot by Ollie just going wide of the target. HT.

Would the uphill cause the Panthers problems? Ed replaced Alex in goal and a long kick by him was controlled perfectly by Isaac on the halfway line, he turned and fed Leo who once again beat his man before smashing the ball past the keeper from just inside the area to claim his hat trick. 7-4. The panthers were not finished there and a poor clearance by their keeper fell to Luke 30 yards out, who spotted the keeper off his line, before firing a shot over him, great accuracy, great goal. 8-4. Their number 9 then went on one of his mazy runs before firing home 8-5. Good work and cross by Leo saw Isaac head against the bar, surely the Panthers had done enough? Not according to their number 9, a good strike by him from the edge of the area made it 8-5. Isaac then had another chance only for his shot to go wide. Up popped their number 9 again, jinking through our defence like it wasn’t there, to make it 8-6, then 8-7!!!! With one minute to go, Weaverham won a corner, which was handballed in the box (looked more like ball to hand!) and the unthinkable happened...PENALTY! Their number 9 stepped up to equalise and record his 6th goal of the game. The Panthers had a chance to win it late on but a through ball to Luke was too strong for the tricky winger to latch onto. Two hatricks, 8 goals away from home and the Panthers come away without a win, great performance by all involved. Without a certain number 9, it would have been a stroll in the park! Players and parents alike left Weaverham with the same thoughts.........Hargreaves, Hargreaves sign him up! FT 8-8

Egerton v Hartford

Egerton Vs Hartford Boys



Egerton Pumas 3-4 Hartford Boys

The Pumas began this game eager to put the defeat by Davenham behind them and early Egerton pressure lead to the first chance, a mistake by the Hartford defence gave Jack an opportunity only for his shot to be saved. Bradley had begun with a purpose and tried to find his range by hitting a couple of long range efforts which were well saved by the Hartford keeper. The Pumas then stepped up a gear and the midfield linked well with Jack to almost set up Adam, however the keeper was quick off his line to save. Jack seemed to have had his Weetabix before the game as his strong runs were causing the Hartford defence all sorts of problems. With Ben moving up into midfield for this game, Archie and Mitch were holding strong in defence. It would take something special for Hartford to score, and it did, the Hartford number 10 hitting a long range effort into the top corner, 1-0 Hartford. This sparked the Pumas into life and within minutes Ben equalised with a low strike from a tight angle. 1-1. The Pumas then increased the pressure and forced a corner, Bradley swung the corner over to the back post, which was met by the head of Archie to make it 2-1 to Egerton. The Pumas were now flying and a pinpoint thru ball by Jack to Adam was well saved by the keeper. Bradley was causing all sorts of problems down the right and an inch perfect cross was met by Jack, only for him to slot the ball wide, how he missed that one only Jack will know. Archie was now all over the pitch and a great run back to help out in defence saw him use his head once again to clear a dangerous cross. Hartford drew the game level just before half time when a corner was clipped in once again by their number 10. HT 2-2.

The Pumas started the second half brightly with Jack hitting a shot from the left, which was easily saved by the keeper. The midfield was beginning to dominate and Egerton should have been 3-2 up when a 1 on 1 situation fell to Jack only to see his shot once again saved. Adam had now taken over from Isaac in goal and his quick thinking lead to him running out from goal to clear an almost certain chance of a goal. Hartford then hit Egerton on the break and a long run by their number 10 finished with him smashing the ball into the bottom corner. 3-2 Hartford. Egerton then put Hartford under sustained pressure and they had to throw everything in the way of two shots from Archie to keep their lead intact. The equaliser did come minutes later with Stan popping up in the box to score with a great finish. 3-3. Archie then almost put the home team in front only for him to see his shot hit the side netting. A break then saw Hartford score the winner, a long ball played to their number 10 saw him somehow clip the ball over an on rushing Adam to make it 4-3. A late strike from jack hit the post but the Pumas couldn’t find that final, elusive equaliser. Overall a great performance by the Pumas, who without the number 10 of Hartford having the game of his life, would have recorded a better result. FT 3-4.

Egerton Panthers 3-1 Hartford Boys

The Panthers were looking for their fourth win in a row today, but without leading goal scorer Ollie Oldbury the rest of the players need to fill in. The first chance fell to Luke, Tom swung in a great corner to the far post only for Luke to miss time his header and send it over the bar. Luke then produced the goal of the game to open the scoring, a strong run down the right saw him look up and loop the ball over the keeper from the edge of the area. 1-0 Egerton. A quick break at the other end then saw Hartford equalise from a very tight angle. 1-1. This seemed to knock the stuffing out of the Panthers which saw a lull in the game with the majority of the play being battled for in midfield. With 5 minutes of the half remaining the game sparked into life, a long range shot by Hartford was brilliantly saved my Matt, before Luke tried his luck from distance only for him to see his effort also well saved. With virtually the last kick of the first half, Tom swung in a corner, the ball bouncing in between both sets players before Ed saw an opportunity and tapped in from close range 2-1 Egerton HT.

The second half began as the first had finished, Hartford hit a great effort only to see Matt somehow save with his feet. Leo seemed to spark into life in the second half and a couple of strong runs down the right began to cause Hartford problems. Matt was called into action once again when a well worked free kick needed to be saved, and Matt made sure that was the case. At the other end Ben wanted in on the action and following a clearance from an Egerton corner he smashed an effort back at the keeper from 20 yards only for it to be once again saved. Was this keeper going to be beaten again today? Ed certainly fancied his luck and tried a long range effort which was once again SAVED!!. With the aggregate scores tied at 5-5 and a last look at the watch from the gaffer, the game looked to be over. Egerton had one last corner, Tom floated it in, Hartford cleared to the edge of the box only to see Ed steaming in to side foot the ball into the top corner, the arms came out in typical Ed celebration fashion and the lads joined in before the referee blew the final whistle. A below par performance by the boys today, however they learned a valuable lesson in how to play below their potential and win. FT 3-1.

Egerton Vs Davenham 6/11/10



Egerton Pumas 0-2 Davenham

This eagerly awaited fixture began with both teams being fired up and eager to get one over on each other. The first chance of the game came early on and fell to Stan, only for him to see his shot well saved. Davenham then had their first chance which went narrowly wide of the post. This was to be a game of few chances with both teams battling hard to cancel each other out. Good play in midfield by Bradley and Stan saw Isaac released for a 1 on 1 chance, which he failed to convert after the keeper came off his line quickly. A strong Davenham attack produced a fine bit of defending by Archie who managed to get back to clear off the line to keep the scores level. The resulting corner was cleared to the edge of the box, the ball was struck through a crowded penalty box to nick of an Egerton player into the bottom corner. 0-1 Davenham. Davenham now had their tales up and put the Egerton defence under more pressure, only for Ben and Archie to hold strong. Ben was called into action moments later to make the second line clearance of the game. The game then became a battle of the midfield with both teams once again cancelling each other. Mitch then made a great save, holding onto a strong shot before distributing brilliantly to Bradley on the right. Mitch was then called into action once again and a triple save of the highest quality kept the scores at 1-0 before half time. HT.

The second half saw the energetic Jack put Davenham under pressure and a strong run and shot by the same man almost lead to an equaliser. This sparked Egerton into life and they produced two great counter attacking chances which unfortunately didn’t lead to a deserved equaliser. At the other end a scramble in the Egerton area led to nothing only for it to be struck from outside the area to be saved brilliantly once again by Mitch. It was going to take something special to beat him again. With virtually the last move of the game, Davenham broke 3 on 1 and used the extra 2 men to beat Mitch at the far post. 0-2 Davenham FT

Egerton Panthers 2-1 Davenham

A rousing team talk by number 2 Jim got the Panthers pumped before the whistle for kick off had been blown. The Panthers flew out of the traps and within the first 5 mins made it 1-0. Great build up play saw Ollie fed in down the left side of the box for him to smash the ball across the keeper. 1-0 Egerton. The Panthers were now flying and Alex came close, before Ed also went close following good work from Ollie. The man with the Tevez hairstyle wasn’t finished there, Ollie showed great close control to smash the ball past the keeper from a tight angle. 2-0 Egerton. Davenham were now on the ropes and Ollie hit the bar from close range following a scramble in the area, before he hit a 20 yard screamer that ricocheted of the corner of bar and post. Luke almost got in on the action after Alex played a fantastic through ball to him only for it to be a little too long. Davenham then appeared from nowhere and one of their first chances hit the post towards the end of the first half. HT 2-0.

Second half began brightly when immediately from kick off, Luke played the ball to Leo, whose strong run and shot was well saved. A long goal kick by Matt created a chance for Ollie who shot just wide. The forward line of Davenham were struggling against the strength of both Tom and Ben, who were taking no prisoners when it came to 50/50 tackles. A Davenham break saw Ben make one of his trade mark last ditch tackles, before Matt saved brilliantly from a counter attack a couple of minutes later. A mistake by Egerton saw Davenham claw a gaol back following a poor clearance from the back. 2-1. This didn’t seem to effect the Pumas and following a corner from the left, they hit the woodwork (or metal) once again, this time Alex hit the shot. The next opportunity fell to Leo who hit a long range effort which was heading for the bottom corner only to see it saved well by the keepers feet. The teams then cancelled each other out for the last couple of minutes before the final whistle. The Pumas should be more than happy with their performance today and with a bit more luck they could have won by a bigger margin. FT 2-1

Egerton v Congelton Rovers

Congleton Rovers Away 30/10/10



Egerton Pumas 2-0 Congleton Rovers



Pumas too strong for Rovers



The Pumas for the second week started off slowly which allowed a well balanced Congleton team to settle. The pumas then kicked into gear and good link up play between Bradley and Isaac almost created the first opportunity of the game. The same two players linked up once again, a strong run by Isaac, followed by a stinging shot produced a fine save from the goalkeeper. Cue a contender for the bizarre goal of the season, straight out of the Pepe Reina book of howlers. Following a corner from the right Ben managed to get his foot to the ball following a deflection, which the keeper comfortably collected, only to then drop the ball over his own goal line! 1-0 Egerton. This sparked Congleton into life and they came close to an equaliser following a quick break. Ben then hit one of his trademark long range efforts which was saved well by the keeper. The partnership of Freddie and Archie down the left was beginning to cause Congleton problems. Freddie was then saviour as Stan saved from Congleton strike, the ball rebounded back to the Congleton player who’s shot was destined for the net before Freddie stuck out a leg to deflect it over the bar. A “thank you” pat on the back was given by Stan. The first half finished with a flurry of shots, Bradley’s shot was firstly saved by the keeper with the resulting corner being headed wide by Isaac. HT 1-0

Bradley was determined to get his name on the score sheet and began the first half with a few driving runs down the right. Mitch had come on mid way through the first and quickly began to dominate midfield with strong tackles and great link up play with the forwards. Stan came out of net for the second half and it wasn’t long before he made a great run and narrowly shot over the bar. Mitch went close from close range but the keeper made up from his earlier error by pulling off another great save. It started to look like this was going to end 1-0 until another inspired substitution by the gaffer for the second week running, Freddie, who had earlier limped off pleaded to go back on, the gaffer took the risk to see Freddie with his first touch pick out Archie in the middle with a fine through ball for him to smash it past the keeper. 2-0. Freddie then signalled to the bench he needed to come off due to his injury having put the game to bed. Alex could have made it 3-0 just before the end but his shot was well saved. Final Score 2-0.

Team: Brad-Archie-Stan-Freddie-Isaac-Alex-Ben Hen-Mitch



Egerton Panthers 3-0 Congleton Rovers



Quemby thunderbolt rocks Rovers



The second game started brightly for the Panthers with good early linkup between Luke and Ollie producing the first shot of the game. Leo had to leave the game early on with a wrist injury leaving the panthers with no subs, the pressure was on. Not that this seemed to affect the midfield duo of Luke and Ed, with the latter producing a perfect overlap move to then square for Luke to shoot just wide. The panthers kept up the pressure with Ollie hitting a couple of good shots that were well saved by the keeper. Congleton then almost scored against the run of play with an opportunist strike hitting the post. The panthers then forced a corner following a quick break, Luke swung in the corner for Ed to volley against the outside of the post. Luke then had a 1 on 1 chance which was once again well saved. Luke took the resulting corner only for it to be cleared, however the ball fell to Tom who’s neat control and powerful strike from 20 yards smashed in off the post. 1-0. Congleton almost equalised immediately with a volley that was just wide of the far post. Half time was rapidly approaching but Ed almost made it 2 from a pin point cross from Ollie. HT

The 2nd half started as the 1st half had finished, with a great effort by Ed just going wide, the pairing at the back of Andy and Tom seemed to have settled and Congleton were reduced to shooting from long range, one of which needed to be superbly saved by Matt, tipping it round the post . A rocket from his dad at half time sparked Oliver into life and he began to make telling runs and a few great through balls towards the striker. Ed’s hard work in midfield paid off when he was quickest to react, tapping in from a corner following the ball bouncing around in the box. 2-0. The panthers were now in full flow and a long range effort by Ollie narrowly missed the target. Another goal would finish the game and came courtesy of a great through ball from Ed to Luke, who composed himself in the area before firing into the bottom corner, his second goal in as many games. 3-0. A goal well deserved after a nonstop display. He could have made it 4-0 late on with a similar chance but his effort was well saved. A solid performance by the Panthers today. FT 3-0.

Egerton v Tytherington

Egerton Pumas 4 Tytherington 3



The coldest morning of the season so far lead to a slow start from the Pumas, this resulted in them falling behind after confusion near the corner flag, the Pumas thought the ball had gone out, Tytherington played on and scored to make it 1-0. This sparked the Pumas into life, Ben played a great ball down the right, Adam chased the ball down, Archie to cross into the box for Stan to slot home 1-1. The Pumas then produced their best bit of play to take the lead. A end to end passing move that included all of the players touching the ball at least once and a trademark step over by Bradley saw him slot Stan in for his second of the game 2-1. An inspired substitution and tactical change saw Isaac moved from defence to attack and within minutes he had his name on the score sheet with an emphatic finish into the top corner 3-1, cue the running celebration! Isaac wasn’t finished there and following a great pass by Mitch to Bradley, the Bradster released Isaac to score his second 4-1. The Pumas then let their performance drop giving the ball away on a few occasions. This gave Tytherington the opportunity to get back into the game. Tytherington clawed a goal back in dramatic fashion, a cross from the right saw Freddie scissor kick the ball beyond his own keeper, had it been at the other end it would have been a contender for goal of the season 4-2. Tytherington then scored a goal late on to make the finish tenser than it needed to be but held on for the win. Final score 4-3.



Team: Ben Hen, Adam, Archie, Stan, Isaac, Brad, Freddie, Mitch



Egerton Panthers 1 Tytherington 0



The second game of the day also started slowly which allowed Tytherington time to settle. The Panthers then kicked into gear and camped themselves in the Tytherington half leaving stand in goalkeeper Andy with nothing to do for large parts of the first half. Good work from Leo down the left created a chance for Alex who shot just wide. A second chance was to follow shortly after when good work from Ollie released Ed who crossed for Alex who’s resulting shot was saved well by the Tytherington keeper, the resulting rebound fell to the feet of Leo, only for him to see his shot hit the crossbar. HT 0-0. A goalkeeper change saw Tom take over from the now bored Andy in goal. The second half started as the first had finished with the Panthers throwing everything at Tytherington. A 4on1 break saw Ed put just wide from inside the 6 yard box. This was followed by a number of chances, the best falling to Alex who’s shot hit the bar before Luke’s rebound struck the foot of the post. Was it to be one of those days? The defensive rock we know as Ben was also trying to break the deadlock, making forward runs at any opportunity he had which resulted in a great shot from distance. The breakthrough finally came 2 minutes from the end. Luke picked the ball up on the half way line and only had one thing on his mind......last minute winner! A Panthers break created a 2 on 1 situation for Egerton and with the Tytherington defender preferring to stay marking Leo, Luke jinked his way into the box before slotting the ball into the bottom corner 1-0. Cue the final whistle and a sigh of relief from the Panthers who on another day could have scored 10. Final score 1-0.

BARNTON 0-3 EGERTON PANTHERS

THE PANTHERS WERE FRANKLIN UNSTOPPABLE

Midfield dynamo ed franklin was on song at barnton this week his late goal helping the panthers to only there 2nd win of the season. Despite coming up against a very organised team the panthers showed their abillity to pass and move as they played them of the park in the first half . chances were created and not taken as the barnton goalkeeper was working overtime . mid-way through the first half the best chance fell to olly whos deft chip looked goal bound untill the keeper lept up and tipped it over the bar as the half wore on more chances were missed and this gave barnton hope as we went in at half time 0-0. The panthers started the second half as they finished the first fast counter attacking football with ed at the forefront of the attacks ,with good hold up play by olly upfront this created the first goal a long ball down the line by tom was chased down by olly who worked hard to get his cross in which with a bit of a scrammble fell to alex who hit high into the net for his first of the season 1-0 this lifted the panthers even more and were soon two up a neat pass from alex set olly on his way towards goal again whos shot was saved but followed up by ed who hit into the bottom corner 2-0 the goals kept coming now for the panthers as again ed broke up a barnton attack who then realeased olly down the right to cross for leo to tap in 3-0. barnton never gave up but with ben defending like kolo toure they were unable to break through the backline.

BARNTON 1-4 EGERTON PUMAS

ARCHIE THE HERO

The pumas produced a spirtied performance that may of lacked fluency and quality but had enough character and grit to secure a win against a well-drilled barnton side.The pumas couldnt get going in the first half and with posession being given away through sloppy play barnton were the stronger team creating a number of chances but not really testing the goalkeeper. The one time the pumas produced the football they are known for resulted in the games opening goal a neat run down the right from adam who produced a pin point cross for archie to head into the bottom corner 1-0 . The pumas were soon pegged back though when a lack of concentration in the back line allowed barnton through on goal who calmly netted 1-1.H-T 1-1. At half time a few hash words were said to the boys and with a few tactical decisions this seemed to bring the pumas to life and with three quick goals this killed the game off . The first coming through jack whos hard work payed off when he tapped into the corner . The third came when a defensive mistake was pounced on by adam who shot into the far corner . There was still time for barnton to get back into the game and when they were awarded a dubious penalty this was there chance but archie a halftime replacement for jack made himself big and managed to tip the ball over . There was still time for one more attack as stan was set free an as the goal neared he neatly slotted under the out coming keeper 4-1 and with five mins to go bradley was introduced to a loud roar from the crowd after nearly three weeks out injured.

PANTHERS 1-2 MIDDLEWICH

The second game started more brightly with both teams looking to attack. the midfield 3 of ed leo and luke battled tirelessly putting in some strong tackling and probing runs which were well dealt with by a strong middlewich back line . luke and tom worked well down the right looking to get crosses in but again were unable to break through the middlewich defence 0-0 half time.
egerton started brightly enough in the second half but found them selves behind early on . this didnt affect the rythem of play as we were soon on level terms through a quality set piece. tom floated in a corner with was met with power and aggresion by luke who headed high into the net .this gave the boys the momentum to go and get the winner but this was not to be as middlewich hit the killer blow a low shot bobbled over matt 1-2. this left the boys drained and as the heads went down the final whistle went.

The Season So Far !

Three games into the season so i think it is about time we got motivated and updated "The Blog".

Weaverham, First game of to the season, Three new faces ,one goalkeeper, squad rotation, players missing, were these the reason we got beat 9-7 !

I think all of the above could have played a part,

Not a good result for us but on the bright side we scored 7 goals and the season is up and running.

Week 2

Macclesfield away.

Feeling happy about this fixture, the sun was shining the grass a bit long , the team was a little light due to cub camp, a new signing making his debut, what could go wrong ?

Then the "Storm cloud" appeared The wind started to blow the sun "Dropped out of the sky" why was this The "Man in Black" was back ,

No not Our "Smoggy Ref" , But "A*** H****" In full ref`s kit Red and Yellow card peeping out of his pocket, (maybe just for Lee`s sake). I was expecting him to have a radio strapped on to his ear with gaffa tape.

The hair`s on my neck stuck up like needles, the fire started to burn inside, this could get messy.

So back to the game i had great pleasure in contesting every call A*** H**** made and even found myself on the pitch asking why he asked for a penalty to be retaken.

We ended up Winning 7-2 quite easy in the end, and not one shout of "Ave some respect will ya" .

Week 3

Sandbach home.

Not alot to say about the game (except for Lee sporting another new coat) !the boys are begining to settle in now , the goals are coming thick and fast the passing game has arrived, the new signings are settling in , 8-2 winners on the day.

What has changed !

The boys have a "Swagger" within them now it must be that they are all hitting double figures in age, the seem much calmer this season and most important they have learnt to tie their shoe laces !

We have lots of things on our minds this season squad rotation, goalkeeping duties, looking to next season 11 a side, but i am sure we will all get through it and enjoy another season full of up`s and more up`s.

I will save all the "Stats" for the boss to update, and if anyone has seen our chief reported could you ask him to update the blog with next fixtures etc.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the blog feel free email me and i will copy and paste it to the blog (when Mitch shows me how to).

All for now

Langho Tournament WINNERS.

Well done boys Winners at last !

Sandbach Tournament

Well done to the boys yesterday in the Sandbach Tournament, beaten in the final by a "Golden Goal" .

Our day will come.

Egerton v Winsford Diamonds

Egerton Pumas 6 – 1 Winsford Diamonds
Early pressure by Winsford saw Egerton defensive duo Freddie Sass and Tom Quemby clear their lines and help put us on the front foot. Good work from Freddie saw himself and Stan link up well down the left backed up by a solid midfield performance from Mitch in the centre. And early attack from Egerton saw a shot from Jack go narrowly wide after good work from Bradley down the right. A corner followed shortly after resulting in Mitch heading just wide. A great counter attack from Egerton would have resulted in the first goal of the game had it not been for a last minute tackle by the Winsford defence. Egerton were then rewarded for their hard work when Jack broke away and finished low to the keepers right. A second goal followed shortly afterwards when Liam Birnie made a great run into the box to slot home a Hargreaves cross. Meanwhile the Winsford attack couldn’t not penetrate the Egerton defensive with excellent performances from Matt Willis in goal and Ben Henthorne clearing everything they threw at him. The third came courtesy of Freddie Sass as he cut in from the right to finish low past the keeper. One more goal was to follow before half time, Stan picked the ball up in his own half before beating four players and slotting home a deserved individual goal. The second half started brightly and Egerton’s efforts were rewarded with a fifth five minutes later after the silky skills of Bradley helped set up Man of the Match Jack for his second of the game. Winsford then had a good 5 minute spell putting pressure on our defence which eventually rewarded them with a consolation goal following a free kick. Egerton then wrapped the game up with Stan being in the right place at the right time to tap home from a corner with virtually the last kick of the game.

Team: Matt Willis, Freddie Sass, Tom Quemby, Ben Henthorne, Bradley Hargreaves, Stan Smith, Liam Birnie, Mitch Brown, Jack Curbishley.

Egerton Panthers 4 – 2 Winsford Diamonds
The Panthers started strongly with Ed and Leo linking up well in midfield. Isaac came close minutes later when a powerful run ended with a well struck shot being saved by the Winsford keeper. The opening goal came following a corner, which Winsford thought they had cleared only for Isaac to hit a looping shot over the keeper, his celebration reminiscent of Adebayor VS Arsenal. Further pressure saw Adam set Leo up only for his chance to be well saved by the keeper. Winsford then equalised with a well struck volley. The Panthers didn’t let their heads drop and great work from Luke and Paulo in midfield forced a corner which resulted in Leo having his shot blocked on the line. Winsford finally gave in to the pressure when a long ball from Isaac was latched onto by Archie who fired the ball into the net to restore our lead. The momentum was now with Egerton and a third followed shortly after a good run by Leo set up Man of the Match Luke Granger to fire an unstoppable shot in off the post. Andy Price then almost scored one of the goals of the season with a looping volley from distance that hit the crossbar, Ed Franklin also cursed his luck when his half volley went just over the bar. Winsford then seemed to break clear and grab a goal back to make it 3-2. Jasper Kearns then showed his excellence in goal saving a point blank shot to keep our lead intact, the resulting clearance fell at the feet of Adam Lee on the half way line, at which point he turned, beat three players with his pace and finished emphatically to make it 4-2. Winsford came back at Egerton but could not find a way past our ever dependable defender Ben Hasleden who threw himself into every tackle to ensure Egerton earned a well deserved win. The game could have finished 5-2 after Leo was awarded a penalty late on, but a well struck penalty by our trusted keeper Jasper rebounded off the foot of the post.

Team: Jasper Kearns, Ben Hasleden, Andy Price, Ed Franklin, Paulo Tabone, Leo Buckley, Luke Granger, Isaac Bennett, Archie Phillips, Adam Lee.

Frodsham Town 2 – 1 Egerton Panthers U9’s

Egerton worked hard in the game but struggled to convert possession into goals. This was summed up in the first half when Ed Franklin burst through the middle, lost the ball, tackled to win it back and create a chance for Archie Phillips who let fly and forced a good save by the Frodsham keeper. Frodsham promptly broke and scored to take the lead. The Panthers battled to get back in the game and a succession of well delivered corners by Luke Granger created the best chances with Leo Buckley narrowly heading wide. At the other end, Egerton were defending gamely with Andy Price and Jasper Kearns in the thick of the action with the keeper picking up a knock to the arm for his troubles. After the break, Egerton showed their intentions to get back into the game with first Leo Buckley flashing a shot wide and then Archie Phillips almost scoring from the tightest of angles. Paolo Tabone showed tremendous discipline holding his position to break up Frodsham counters. The Panthers pushed and pushed with Leo Buckley and Isaac Bennett denied with last ditch goal line clearances. Just like the first half, Frodsham broke and went up the other end to score. Egerton never gave up and Man of the Match Ben Haselden went on a marauding run and almost picked out Archie Phillips at the far post. Eventually, Egerton got the goal they deserved when a good passage of team play saw the ball fall to Luke Granger who beat three men before slamming the ball home. There was still time for the Panthers to grab an equaliser and they created host of further chances but could not convert them to prevent going down to a narrow defeat.

Team: Andy Price; Archie Phillips; Ben Haselden; Ed Franklin; Isaac Bennett; Jasper Kearns; Leo Buckley; Luke Granger; Paolo Tabone

Frodsham Town 0 – 7 Egerton Pumas U9’s

From the off, the Pumas were hungry for goals dominating the early exchanges and making it difficult for the opposition to get out of their own half and threaten Matt Willis’ goal. It was only a matter of time before the deadlock was broken and it came from the usual sources as Jack Curbishley made a great round down the right before squaring unselfishly for Stan Smith to slide in and push the ball past the keeper. Ben Henthorn got his name on the scoresheet when he found himself in the right place to poke the ball in as it fell loose from a corner. Every time Egerton went forward it seemed they might score as Jack Curbishley went desperately close with a close range header and Mitchell Brown forced the keeper to push a goal bound effort round the post. The pressure was finally converted into another goal when once again Jack Curbishley put aside thoughts of the Golden Boot to set up Stan Smith for a tap-in and to seal victory before half time. At the re-start Egerton added to their tally when Man of the Match Tom Quenby released Bradley Hargreaves down the right who accelerated into space before blasting the ball into the roof of the net. Freddie Sass and Liam Birney were giving the Frodsham midfield a tough workout running the ball out of defence and launching counter attacks. The two combined and a sweet cross by Liam Birney was met with an even sweeter side foot volley by Bradley Hargreaves giving the keeper no chance. Jack Curbishley again was the provider setting up Tom Quenby to get in on the scoring and act. Fittingly Jack finished the scoring off with the team’s seventh just before the end.

FRODSHAM TOWN AWAY

Hargreaves said; The team was first class i was more pleased with the overall performance rather than the result . We are playing well all over the pitch attacking with pace and power.

Macclesfield Town 0 - 4 Egerton U9's Panthers

The Panthers didn't waste anytime setting aboutr the opposition and Ollie Oldbury showed the first intent bursting down the left and forcing the Macclesfield keeper into the first of many fine saves. Minutes later Ollie was hit the bar with a rasping and Paolo Tabone almost opened the scoring but was thwarted by the keeper. Macclesfield almost scored too but a good effort went wide and stand in keeper Isaac Bennett wasn't tested. Eventually the deadlock was broken in the first half when Archie Phillips crossed to the back post and Adam Lee was there to stroke the ball home magnificently. The Panthers looked to extend their lead in the second half when Adam Lee almost curled a good effort in and Luke Granger was unlucky not score the goal his great all round performance deserved. At the other end Ben Haselden was setting himself a personal challenge to clear the boundary fencing as anything threatening the Egerton box was volleyed away from danger. His defensive partner Andy Price had another wonderful game intelligently using the ball to earn himself the man of the match award for the second week running. The Panthers second was scored when Ollie Oldbury cut in from wide and coolly slotted the ball into the net after receiving a superb pass down the line by Adam Lee. Ollie Oldbury then fed Luke Granger who squared to Leo Buckley who slid the ball past the keepr for the team's third goal. He almopst picked up a second when he turned smartly and hit a sweet strike which cannoned of the post. It was Luke Granger's turn to rue his luck next when his shot clipped the post. The fourth and final goal came courtesy of long clearance by Archie Phillips and Ollie Oldbury's persistent chasing down forced a defelcted shot in to wrap up the game.

Team: Adam Lee; Andy Price; Archie Phillips; Ben Haselden; Isaac Bennett; Leo Buckley; Luke Granger; Oliver Oldbury; Paolo Tabone

Macclesfield Town 0 - 6 Egerton Pumas U9's

After a run of disappointing results, the Pumas came back with a vengeance. A slow start saw the Pumas dominating possession as they tried to impose their passing game. Macclesfield had the best chance of the earliest exchanges but didn't trouble keeper Matt Willis. Midway through the first half Stan Smith's first touch found Bradley Hargreaves with time and space to calmly slot the ball into the bottom corner vfor the first goal. Maccelsfield responded well but even with a three man advantage could not find a way past Ben Henthorn. Bradley Hargeaves broke down the right and his low cross shot was turned in at the far post by Stan Smith to maintain his fine sequence of scoring in consecutiove games. Tom Quenby linked play well across the park and created a chance for Jack Curbishley who's shot went just wide. After the break, Egerton started on the back foot and Matt Willis had to get down well to turn a goal bound effort round the post. The midfield and defensive combinations were proving too much for the opposition to handle even with Liam Birnie spreading suffering from an injury. Freddie Sass gave another fantastic performance giving Macclesfield no time or space to dwell in the ball. As the second half progressed, Mitchell Brown bossed the midfield creating chance after chance spraying the ball around. His Man of the Match performance contributed to four second half goals as first Bradley Hargreaves completed his brace with a nonchalant finish; then Stan Smith completed his brace with trademark tap in the goal line; andf Jack Curbishley picked up another two goals playing on the shoulder of the last defender to take full advantage.

MANAGERS COMMENTS

MACCLESFIELD AWAY

Hargreaves was understandably delighted; " The win was deserved . we played brilliant football and tried to make things happen . we have struggled over the last couple of weeks with our form and havent been able to compete in the games . but the hunger was back within the squad today and this showed as we were outstanding at times and played with class and spirit we showed a great attitude and tactically we were very good .

Weaverham 3 – 2 Egerton Pumas U9’s

The Pumas started brightly and took the lead in the first half when Leo Buckley forced the keeper into a difcult save and Adam Lee was close at hand to prod the ball home. The same combination almost worked another goal when a neat interchange Leo Buckley and Adam Lee forced another good save but this time the ball went to safety. Once again Ed Franklin was dominating the midfield and Isaac Bennett solidly holding the back line as the game swung end to end and Jasper Kearns had to show some smart handling of the ball. Ben Haselden was unlucky to see his effort go narrowly wide following an Archie Phillips corner. After the half time interval, Weaverham caught the Egerton defence napping and pulled back an equaliser. Egerton responded and Ollie Oldbury’s mazy run beat three men but not the keeper. Archie Phillips found himself free but again could not find the net. A long clearance by man of the match Andy Price fell into the path of Ollie Oldbury who coolly slipped the ball past the keeper. Weaverham responded immediately to level. Egerton kept pressing with Paolo Tabone linking play well but there was time for Weaverham to grab a winner and leave the Pumas disappointed.

Weaverham 2 – 1 Egerton Panthers U9’s

Another disappointing result for the Panthers as they sli pping another defeat. Egerton played well in patches but either luck was against them or they could not find the right final ball to take full advantage of some good attacking opportunities. Man of the match was stand in keeper Freddie Sass who made some outstanding saves. The first half saw both teams creating chances and Ben Hengthorn made a marvellous last ditch tackle to stop a certain goal. Bradley Hargreaves went closest for the Panthers when he attempted a cheeky lob only to see his effort clear both the keeper and the goal. Weaverham took full advantage of Egerton wasting chances and possession and took the lead just before half time. The second half carried on in the same way with Weaverham adding to their lead. Egerton always promised to score and when Liam Birney passed to Jack Curbishley who found Luke Granger it was typical of the team’s luck to see a good shot clip the post and go out to safety. Eventually Egerton did score what turned out to be a consolation when Stan Smith picked out Bradley Hargreaves who neatly flicked the ball on to release Luke Granger and the low cross was met by Stan Smith to turn the ball in.

Egerton Pumas U9's 1 - 4 Vale Juniors

The Pumas never really got going in a below par performance. Despite some good approach play, the team were never able to find the final pass or make the right decision at the right time. Vale Juniors took full advantage and raced to a three nil lead at half time capitalising on some well executed set piece moves. The second half was a little better for Egerton, with Jack Curbishley singled out as man of the match for a typical never say die attitude. A fourth goal was conceded before Stan Smith headed a late consolation.

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

Egerton Panthers U9's 4 - 0 Vale Juniors

Egerton opened the scoring when Archie Phillips drilled a low shot in at the near post after a driving run down the left. Jasper Kearns was called into action to make a brave save at the feet of an onrushing attacker. Adam Lee almost added a second when hitting a rebound first time and was unlucky to see his effort clip the wrong side of the post. The chances were coming in thick and fast for both teams as Vale responded and hit the frame of the Egerton goal too. The second goal came when Mitchell Brown linked up with Archie Phillips who picked out Ollie Oldbury to slide the ball in. In the second half, the Panthers showed flashes of brilliance. Luke Granger superbly lost his marker with a great turn and flashed his shot just wide. Leo Buckley controlled the ball and played a wonderful pass to create another chance of a shot on goal. In defence Ben Haselden was letting nothing past him while Isaac Bennett popped everywhere to snuff out danger. Man of the match Ollie Oldbury wrapped up a second consecutive hat trick with two well taken goals. At the death Ed Franklin was disappointed to not get his name on the scoresheet which would capped a fine midfield performance.

Egerton Pumas U9’s 6 – 1 Sandbach United

Having picked up a hat-trick last week, Bradley Hargreaves was greedy more and scored another three in double quick time. The first came when he converted a penalty he won after being up-ended and the second shortly after when a long range effort evaded the keeper. A quick throw by Paolo Tabone to Freddie Sass who found Bradley Hargreaves and a neat one two with Liam Birney opened the opposition defence, as he skipped through to complete his hat-trick. Egerton were dominating possession with man of the match Paolo Tabone winning everything in the air and Ben Henthorn impossible to get past. Substitutions mid way through the first half paid off for manager Lee Hargreaves, when Olivia French released Jack Curbishley who powered into the penalty area to slip the ball into the net. Matthew Willis had to be at his best first saving with his feet and then diving full length to preserve the clean sheet at half time but took a blow to the head for his troubles.

The Pumas picked up a couple more in the second half as Freddie Sass showed great strength and determination to win the ball before despatching the ball low into the bottom corner of the goal. Stan Smith also got reward for his efforts bundling the ball home at the second attempt after a good run and cross from the right by Jack Curbishley. Sandbach picked up a deserved consolation just before the death as the Pumas rolled on.

Egerton Panthers U9’s 4 – 2 Sandbach United

Egerton found themselves behind when the opposition took full advantage of a slow start to take a deserved lead. The Panthers got their game together as Ed Franklin imposed himself in midfield. A good passing interchange on the edge of the box between Leo Buckley and Isaac Bennett gave Archie Phillips time and space to hit the roof of the net with a great equaliser. With their tails up a second nearly came straightaway when a floated cornered sat up nicely for Leo Buckley to hit a sweet half volley that was somehow blocked on the line and from the rebound Luke Granger forced a good save from the keeper. The Panthers did take the lead just before the break when Oliver Oldbury scored the first and arguably the best of a fine hat-trick when he flicked the ball over his head with his right foot to turn into space and lash the ball into the far corner of the net.

Having got Egerton back into the game, man of the match Archie Phillips was now in goals but could do nothing to stop Sandbach levelling when they broke and scored with a very well taken effort. The game swung from end to end with Adam Lee breaking down the flanks as Andy Price cleared the Panthers back lines. Oliver Oldbury restored the lead, losing his man with a neat turn on the edge of the area and pushing the ball past the advancing keeper. The opposition never gave up and looked certain to score on the break again until Ben Haselden appeared from nowhere to make a brilliant last ditch tackle. Oliver Oldbury wrapped up the win latching on to a well timed clearance from Mitchell Brown to poke the ball home and clinch his hat-trick.

Winsford Diamonds 1 – 7 Egerton Pumas U9’s

The goals rained in as the Pumas cruised to victory. The Pumas wasted no time from the kick off and scored in the first minute when Ben Henthorn crashed a half volley in off the post. Jack Curbishley added a second, curling a fine effort into the top corner from the edge of the box. Ben Henthorn nearly added another when he thundered the ball against the bar and was desperately unlucky to see it bounce down the wrong side of the goal line. Winsford had their chances keeping Tom Quenby and Freddie Sass busy in defence and forcing Matt Willis into a smart save just before the break. The second half started with Winsford scoring. Egerton quickly responded with Stan Smith going close to scoring twice with Bradley Hargreaves in the right place on both occasions to bundle the ball home. In between the two goals Bradley hit the bar, but made sure of his hat trick and the man of the match award when burst through the middle and hit an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net for the Pumas fifth. Egerton continued to create chances with Paolo Tabone and Liam Birnie combining well down the left. Jack Curbishley and Ben Henthorn completed their braces both of them slotting home from close range to wrap up a comprehensive win.

Winsford Diamonds 0 – 2 Egerton Panthers U9’s

The Panthers came through only their second game of the year with a well earned victory.  A close fought match saw chances at both ends with midfield dynamo Ed Franklin in the middle of everything.  Stand in keeper Mitchell Brown had his work cut out and showed his defensive qualities with some good clearances.  Egerton’s best chance of the first half started when defending a corner.  Leo Buckley picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area and ran the length of the pitch as the Diamonds backed off.  His low cross shot was saved and Luke Granger was unlucky to see his effort saved and the ball cleared.  After the break and with the advantage of the slope, Egerton opened the scoring after typical persistent play by Adam Lee closing down the Winsford defence.  The ball fell to Ollie Oldbury who finished clinically from a very tight angle to score on his debut.  The Panthers extended their lead, when a long ball from Archie Phillips found man of the match Isaac Bennett who made a strong run, exchanged passes with Adam Lee and was rewarded with a tap in.  To their credit, Winsford never gave up but could not break through the solid defending of Ben Haselden and Andy Price to pick up a consolation goal.

Egerton Panthers U9’s 4 – 0 Frodsham Town

The Panthers didn’t look too rusty, playing their first game of the year. Egerton opened brightly and were soon in the lead when Luke Granger worked the ball well down the right and crossed for Adam Lee to stab the ball home. Jasper Kearns was grateful to see the ball bounce out from the upright as he earned a clean sheet. The team pushed on and a smart move involving Ben Haselden and Mitchell Brown released Isaac Bennett who was unlucky to see his shot go just wide. The second came when an Archie Phillips corner was unluckily deflected in. After the break, the Panthers carried on in the same vein with Ed Franklin and Andy Price giving the opposition no time on the ball. Another corner was this time converted by Leo Buckley from close range. A driving run and through ball from man of the match Mitchell Brown allowed Adam Lee to calmly slip the ball past he keeper to pick up his second of the game and wrap up a good victory.


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

Egerton Pumas U9’s 3 – 0 Frodsham Town

It took a while for the Pumas to get going even after Bradley Hargreaves went as close as possible without scoring when drove the ball against the inside of the upright from the tightest of angles. A tactical change immediately paid dividends when Freddie Sass picked out Liam Birnie who made no mistake with a sweet finish. Frodsham were always under pressure on the ball from Paolo Tabone and Olivia French kept possession well. Ben Henthorn and Tom Quenby swept up to deny any clear shots on goal. Stan Smith added to the Pumas tally shortly after the restart, while Matt Willis was called upon to make some smart clearances with his feet as Frodsham threatened to respond. Liam Birnie picked up a second goal and never quit trying for his hat trick but in the end had to settle for a deserved man of the match award.


Team: Ben Henthorn; Bradley Hargreaves; Freddie Sass; Liam Birney; Matt Willis; Olivia French; Paolo Tabone; Stan Smith; Tom Quenby

MANAGERS COMMENTS

FRODSHAM HOME

Hargreaves said: considering it was our first game for six weeks we were out of the traps very quickly, the passing was very good and movement on and off the ball excellent this allowed us to play at a quick tempo allowing us to counter attack very well . All in all a good performance by everyone involved
