Progress is the Name of the Game! ⚽️🔥

Absolutely buzzing after today’s performance! Our Tiki Taka City Team put on a masterclass today, walking away with a well-deserved win. 🏆
What makes me even prouder is looking back at where we started. In just 5 months of our very first season, these players have gone from strength to strength. The chemistry, the passing, and the hard work are all paying off. 📈
So proud of this group and their incredible progression. The future is looking very bright! 🌟

⚽ TIKI TAKA CITY TEAM UPDATE ⚽

No full team pic this week – the lads were absolutely freezing at full-time so we didn’t keep them standing around! ❄️

What a TEST for our boys today! We took on an established side who’d dropped down two sections above us – and in our very first season together as a team, we knew it would be tough. 💪

We went into half-time 0-2 down, but refused to let our heads drop! An early second-half goal closed the gap, and we dominated large parts of the game, creating plenty of well-earned chances to score. ⚡

While the experienced opposition took advantage of our only two mistakes in the second half to go 4-1 up, we kept fighting right to the final whistle – pulling another great goal back to finish at 2-4.

We couldn’t be prouder of how these lads stepped up against top-quality opposition. Every minute was a learning opportunity, and the heart, teamwork and determination on show today is exactly what this club is all about! 🌟

Drop a 💙 in the comments to cheer on TTFA City – we’re only just getting started!

Drama until the very last second! ⚽️🔥

A wild draw for Tiki Taka City in our first game back. We might have questions about a "dubious" equaliser from the opposition 5 minutes into Fergie time... 🤔 but as the ultimate sportsmen, we’ll take the point and move on! 🤝✨

Well done to this week’s coaches player Myles, non stop energy in his positions both midfield and upfront. Dropping and pushing forward to support his team.

Big shout out to our parents player James who had a phenomenal game in goal this week, stopping many game changing shots on target by the opposition. Always involved in the game and encouraging play from the back.

The grind doesn't stop. We go again! 👊

Saturday 29th November saw a game for Tiki Taka City U11s full of challenges from the get go.

Playing away, we found ourselves trying to play 9v9 football on a 7v7 standard pitch. As a team that plays in formation and pushes offensively up the wings we were unable to utilise our pace or find the needed space to play at our usual level. Unfortunately, we were definitely victims to the home ground advantage on this occasion.

There were however many positives and the boys still managed to impress. After conceding, we didn't drop our heads. We immediately pushed back and looked for the equaliser, which proves our mental strength is improving drastically.

With familiarity and comfort with the smaller pitch playing a large part, the home team managed to pull one goal ahead however, even with the boys unbelievable work rate we were unable to find the back of the net to equalise before the final whistle.

Walking away from this game with moral still high, despite being very much forced out of our comfort zone, shows the character and resilience we need in the team and I am very proud of my boys.

Myles ⚽️

Well done to this week’s Coaches Player George. Playing in defence, George was unshaken. In such close quarters and against players much larger than him he did not shy out of any challenge or 50/50. He proved he may be small but he is ferocious.

Big shout out to Ollie, this week’s Parent’s Player. Victory really does begin in the heart of the player and Ollie showed the heart of a giant this week. Playing up front whilst being forced to drive through the middle of an overcrowded pitch, Ollie was set on from every direction. Despite some very crunching tackles he stayed strong, showed real bravery and kept pushing forward foul after foul.

Let’s brush ourselves off, move forward and look to playing them again at our home fortress 💪

Saturday 22nd November saw another outstanding performance by Tiki Taka City on a very cold morning.

Unfortunately the game was abandoned at half time due to the condition of the grass pitch however what a half it was.

Power play was used by the opposition at the 11th minute meaning we spent the remaining 19 minutes playing 9 v 10

Despite the boys having to work harder to compensate for the opposition having an extra player, we did not concede any goals and even managed to increase our lead. All this on tough, slow ground.

Antoni ⚽️ 1ST MINUTE ⚽️ 5TH MINUTE
Myles ⚽️ 6TH MINUTE
Levi ⚽️ 11TH MINUTE
Ollie ⚽️ 26TH MINUTE

Well done to this week’s Coaches Player Antoni. Antoni brought his A game this week, powering through with his speed and agility in the very first minute to put us ahead. Antoni is the perfect example of determination, hard work and resilience, I’ve no doubt he has a very bright future within the game.

Big shout out to Kai, this week’s Parent’s Player. With the challenge of being new to the team and this being his first ever game with Tiki Taka City, Kai slot into his role on the right wing like he’s always been with us. With some beautiful runs and crosses into the box Kai has proven that him and his left foot are going to be an asset moving forward.

Well done boys…it was a short game yet so very sweet 💪

Another great performance by Tiki Taka City this morning against AFC Bolton Grey earning ourselves another win.

Both teams started off by paying their respects and taking a minute to reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans and service personnel.

The game was a tough one on challenging ground however both sides played with strength and determination while keeping the game friendly and respectful.

Each individual played their part and their hard work was reflected in the final score.

Big shout out to Ollie, this week’s Parent’s Player. Driving up front with his nimble footwork and determination to score goals earned him another hat-trick.

Well done boys…let’s keep moving in the right direction 💪

Tough Loss, Great Fight! 👏⚽️

On 18th October Tiki Taka City Under 11s Football Team gave it everything they had against Bolton United!

They just fell short after conceding in the last minute due to an unlucky decision resulting in a free kick to United just outside our penalty box.

It was a brilliant effort from every player on the pitch!

Well done to our Coaches Player Rogan, who was none stop up and down the wings with some beautiful crosses. (Ran off before I could get a pic)

Big shout out to Kebba, our Parents Player, once again showing great control and resilience in defence.

We'll take the positives from a hard-fought game and look ahead!
