Forest Falcons U16’s 2026/267

We’re back on the road tomorrow as we kick off our league campaign with an away trip to Telford.

Congratulations to another one of our Falcons lads stepping up to U18s football. Oshay becomes the second player from our U16s group to make the jump, marking his debut for Avery last night. Another brilliant example of the clear pathway we’re building for our lads to develop and reach their potential. Well done, Oshay - fully deserved.

Forest Falcons 3-3 Sutton United

Goals - Oshay 2, Dan

Here is what the boss had to say…

Well, that’s pre‑season done and dusted, and unbeaten. Plenty to be pleased about today, and plenty we can still improve on. It’s a story I’ve told many times, but it really did feel like we gifted the opposition their three goals rather than them having to work hard for them.

The encouraging thing is that we’re improving all the time, in every area of our play. We look a constant threat going forward and we’ll always score goals. The lads should be extremely proud of the work they’ve put in over the summer; we’re a team that will be very competitive this season. The new lads have settled in brilliantly, and we’re already a stronger side than we were last year.

I reminded the lads after the game, and I’ll remind you parents as well, that we coaches are their biggest fans. Sometimes they take feedback as criticism, but everything we say is to help them grow, progress, and reach their potential.

A special mention to Dan for his goal and Oshay for his two goals. Also Oshay, Jackson and Dan for their assists - great contributions all round.

Telford away next week for our first league game of the season. Bring it on.

Up the Falcons!

Forest Falcons 4-1 Solihull Moors

Goals - Oshay 2, Jackson, Dillon

Here is what the boss had to say…

“Couldn’t be happier with both the result and the performance today. It was a really mature display from the lads against a very good, if at times petulant, opposition. For the most part, our boys stayed well clear of all the silly stuff and focused on playing football, which made the performance even more impressive.

We controlled the game from start to finish and fully deserved the win. Some of the football we played was excellent, and the goals were top‑class. Add to that a really solid defensive showing, with Metin pulling off several outstanding saves, and it was a brilliant all‑round team effort.

Congratulations to Oshay for his two goals, and to Dillon and Jackson for theirs. And well done to Jauade for his two assists - great contribution.”

Forest Falcons 4-1 Gresley Rovers

Goals - Jackson 3, Huss

Here is what the boss had to say…

Pleased with the result today and, overall, it was a decent performance. There’s still plenty to work on, though. I wasn’t overly keen on the second‑half display for a number of reasons - our focus and work rate dipped, largely because the lads got dragged into petty arguments with the opposition.

Still, there was a lot to like, and ultimately it’s another good result. We’ll work hard in training to put things right and build on the positives as we head into the season.

Congratulations to Jackson on his hat‑trick and Huss for his goal. Well done also to Oshay for his two assists, and to Finn and Callum for theirs.
