Astley & Tyldesley Hurricanes u12s

A tough game to start the season away on astro. I felt we were far from our best today and looked a little nervous and defensive, particularly in the first half.
The lads dropped too deep at times, which made things very crowded at the back and left us with little space to play out and attack. We also found ourselves kicking the ball away rather than keeping possession and playing our football.
The second half was a much more positive performance. We created more chances and started to play with greater confidence. To be fair, if it wasn’t for their keeper and with a little more composure in front of goal, we could have made the game much closer and really got ourselves back into it.
🏆 Lewis was the coaches’ choice for MOTM, putting in a strong performance at centre midfield on his debut. He tackled well, showed good energy and, importantly, looked to make things happen when he had the ball, creating some great opportunities for his teammates.
Not the result or start we wanted, but there were plenty of positives to take from the game and lots for us to learn from. We’ll take those lessons on board, keep working hard and come back stronger. 💪⚽

What a boss performance from them all. A massive win against a higher level team.
Great strong tackling and tracking back, fantastic 1 and 2 touch football through the midfiled and some super solo runs into their box. Great crossing from the wide players and top drawer goals. Great saves and kicking again from Will.
Max 🏆 was absolutely awesome in centre mid and down the left wing terrorising Boothstown and he was deservedly parents' MOTM and rewarded with a belter of a goal.
Oliver 🏆at centre back against his old team earned Coaches MOTM for his solid performance stopping their threats and bringing the ball out from the back.
So proud of a great team effort today and we could have had so many more goals to make it more comfortable after dominating the play.
I will defo be watching that one again as the Veo decided to record it all this week.

After being drenched in the monsoon and the waterlogged pitch, the kids got off to a great start despite the conditions passing well and creating many chances. However, we were caught out with possibly the only 3 chances, Breigtmet created.
A super header from Harry lobbing the keeper got us back into the game, but it was a story of missed chances that cost us. If we can start finding the net with more of our chances, we will get the wins we deserve.
Ethan 🏆was Parents' POTM bossing the midfield in the centre. He fought as centre mid winning back the ball and with some great runs through the middle and linked up well with his teammates.
Harry 🏆was coaches' POTM as he was strong going forward and coming back to help the midfield and he was unlucky not to have had a few more goals.

Well done, all the kids today, a massive improvement from the cup game in the week. We are slowly getting back to our best.

A tough game and terrible result with the Typhoons earning bragging rights. To be fair we had a lot of the ball but just couldn't finish tonight. A few counter attacks from Holly caught us out and she finished well.
POTM was Herve 🏆 who was brilliant today getting stuck in and driving forward trying to create goals.
It was nice to have some club committee members show up to support us

Hopefully we will bounce back on Saturday.

Herve 🏆

Filey 2026. More fantastic memories.

It was a wonderful weekend and experience for the kids. Parents and kids bonding. The kids having fun in the arcades, beach, and pool. The parents mingling at the football and in the bars.

The football I couldn't be prouder of all the kids.

Day 1 Saturday
Bridlington Sports Centre:

The kids played so well from the off as a team and dominated the 1st 3 teams. With a little luck could have had a place in the final.

Saturday evening a brilliant time on the beach. The kids had a ball, climbing the cliffs and cricket on the beach. Barbecues sorting tea and drinks for the adults. As always Pete's very professional, small bonfire 🔥 keeping us warm and sorting marshmallows for the kids.

Day 2 Sunday
Bridlington Town FC

On a heavy saturated pitch the kids were slow to get going but then again found their form and fought together, again, played great football and with only 1 goal the difference on the day between 3 of the teams just missed out on a place in the final. A class game in the group against their mates the Typhoons.

Ethan was a super addition to the squad and started on a high with a stunning strike for our 1st goal and up and down the pitch in every game he was parents' player of the tournament for the weekend.
Jackson was Coaches' choice for player of the tournament as he was awesome playing on the left side of defence, stopping everything that came his way and playing down the line, setting up many of the kids' attacks. A memorable slide tackle on day 1 taking out their striker, preventing a certain 1v1 on Will.
Freddie was brilliant at the back. He was super strong with his tackles and also sprinting down the wing, playing some great balls into the box.
Will was amazing in goal with some brilliant saves and his kicking was excellent.
George worked so hard on both wings tackling back and linking up well with the rest of the midfield.
Arthur was solid in defence. He was strong tackling and played some great balls forward to start attacks.
Frank was brilliant up front, coming back to help the midfield and had so unlucky not to get a hatfull of goals.
Harry and Herve were both warriors in midfield. They both stuck together and fought well in the middle of the pitch (literally 😆💪🏼).
Max, our skipper, was super skillful beating players down the wing terrorising defences. Gutted that he couldn't on this occasion lift a trophy but he will still have the opportunities.
They were all excellent and played their parts in the games over the weekend. I am so proud of their efforts and we have been spoilt with their entertainment. Battling together, great goals, super saves and some lovely football.
Well done the Hurricanes and thanks everyone for a memorable thoroughly enjoyable weekend away ⚽🍺☀️
A huge thanks to Steven Mcloughlin, it has been a pleasure coaching alongside you and look forward to coaching with you back home👊
