💜💚U14 Greens💚💜

St Annes Greens 2 - 3 BJFF Phantoms

The # were excellent throughout today against a good side. Despite being the first game of Pre season for the Greens everyone put in a great performance and not one player should be disappointed.

Both halves were quite even affairs. The Phantoms went through on goal a couple of times but Tom was there quick off his line to collect the ball. Unfortunately they got through one too many times and managed to grab the first goal. Lucas W did some great play from full back down the wing with an excellent pass from new Greens Captain, Nathaniel, which nearly led to an equaliser. Both teams had chances without scoring. Riley, on his debut, hardly gave their winger a chance. But just before half time BJFF went 2 up.

Just after the start of the second half the Greens had a few chances. Rowan thought he put the Greens back in it only for the ball to go agonisingly wide. Not long after the Greens had a free kick which was brilliantly crossed which Rowan almost scored from but his shot was saved which went to Lucas W who finished it well.
Unfortunately for the Greens, Bispham restored their 2 goal lead not long after despite some great goalkeeping from Ethan. However with a few minutes to go Tom, who played in net the first half, scored an absolute banger. To give the Greens hope. But it was not to be. However, each player put in an absolute great performance. Riley was excellent on his debut. Fin was great on his second game and return from his broken wrist.

Well done to Parents Player Tom, who not only got the goal of the game but when in goal was excellent.

Managers Player was Lucas, who played Left back throughout. Not only was his defensive play great he got forward to help the attack when he could.

⏱️Ref Watch⏱️

A massive well done to U16 Yellows player Zack who recently passed his referee course and is now a qualified referee and ready for the new football season. Today he refereed his very first game at BRN and did a very good job, with many spectators speaking highly of his performance.

Zack has played football for many years now and has an excellent understanding of the game which will be a valuable tool as he takes on this new challenge.

Congratulations Zack and well done on your first game.

The brand new u9 Herons had their first match today in a friendly against Elswick and Inskip Girls and it was great to see them working as a team, battling hard and scoring goals!

Ariana worked hard up front, scoring two goals ⚽️⚽️ with some great finishing, whilst Millie made some great tackles at the back.

Draya volunteered to go in goal, making some brave saves in the second half whilst Orla showed some great dribbling skills on the wing, earning her a brilliant assist as well as a calmly slotted goal ⚽️.

Parents player of the match went to Harlie who was strong on the ball, tackled hard and put through some great attacking passes.

Coaches player of the match went to Talya who was a constant threat to the opposition and never gave up, scoring a well deserved goal ⚽️.

Well done Herons!

🐧💚💜 THE PENGUINS HAVE LANDED 💜💚🐧

What a day for our U7 Penguins, the youngest girls’ team at St. Annes Football Club, as they took their very first steps into football as a team ⚽️🥰

The girls headed to Stanley Park for a fantastic 10-team tournament, welcoming teams from across the area including Hesketh Bank, Myerscough and Bispham.

And what a first experience it was 🙌

✨ Free tournament kits
🚩 Walking onto the pitches through a tunnel of flags
⚽️ 3v3 matches
🏅 A medal for every player
😁 And, most importantly, lots and lots of smiles!

The Penguins more than held their own throughout the 3v3 games and showed exactly what they can do. For many of them, this was their first taste of playing in a tournament environment, and they absolutely loved it 💪🐧

A huge thank you to the organisers for putting on such a brilliant morning, sponsored by Wembley Stadium Foundation, Grassroots Football and the FLYFL League. It was a fantastic experience for all the girls.

And finally, a very special shout-out to our newest coaching team — Heather, Lauren & Amelia 👱‍♀️👱🏻‍♀️👱🏼‍♀️

All three are members of one of our St Annes FC Ladies teams and have stepped forward to help our Penguins take their very first steps on their footballing journey. What a fantastic example of our club family supporting the next generation 👏

The future is certainly looking bright for the Penguins 🐧🌟

Well done girls — we couldn’t be prouder! 💚💜
