J.Ellis Football hosted another match night, this time welcoming two teams from Milford-On-Sea & Wimborne Town FC for our final fixture.
We had the added bonus of plenty of sunshine, with both our Media Manager, Connor & Photography Partner, Calum, both in attendance.
Milford are a team where many of our FNF members come from! They are a brilliant club with senior links to Bashley FC, a club that James Ellis has formerly coached.
The fixtures also saw the debut of our newly formatted three team representative squad model. From having no teams just a couple of months ago - we already have three with scope to add more, watch this space!
The first fixture saw our youngest group take on a very talent Milford U9's Team. With FNF members Oliver G & Max W donning their (very impressive and very cool) gold kit, our team wore the brilliant light blue nike shirts, navy blue shorts and white socks.
It turned out to be a brilliantly competitive fixture, with so many excellent skills on show. The first big shoutout has to go to none other than Sid C, who displayed just how fantastically he has developed on the ball. The player of the match trophy went to him for his two wonderful goals, but with two new awards we have introduced - there was more medals to be won!
'Magic Moment' went to Mia A, who without knowing too much about it - made a brilliant stop from close-range! We have also got parents and carers involved, with the newly titled 'Supporters Player of the Match' going to a thoroughly deserving Leo H.
Next up, we welcomed the extremely talented Milford U11's side to Littledown. We may not have had much of the ball in this game, but what better way to practice our out of possession skills? We really must give huge amounts of credit to this group, their ressillence, effort and application was truly outstanding. Oscar S picked up the PoTM award - playing in an unfamiliar position, he alongside others - truly were heroic in their defending!
Josh E picked up Supporters PoTM for an incredible display in goal, whilst Magic Moment went exactly to the same person - Josh! The latter award was for a quite incredible save, but it's so important for us to once again give a massive well done to all involved.
So now onto our final match! Wimborne kindly stepped in last-minute due to a dropout of opposition. Before we even mention the game or our team - we have to give a massive thank you to Wimborne Town, an absoulte credit to their club. The coaches, the players and the supporters really are exactly what grassroots football should be, creating a superb environment at our match night - thank you.
The match itself was of a brilliant standard, with both teams demonstrating genuinely excellent football. Wimborne showed some exceptional passing, with our team in blue showing wonderful composure under pressure. We don't actually have the award, but because we love it so much - here's our 'photo of the night', Abdel on the ball with a smiling face - exactly what grassroots football should be!
For our other awards, Dylan K stepped up to fill in between the sticks, with outstanding saves throughout. Drawing credit throughout the match, he was very deserving of this award. Well done, Dylan!
Aaryan picked up the Supports PoTM, and we're told that this was mainly down to the fact he & Donnel combined for a well-worked goal in the third block. Tyler D was our 'Magic Moment' winner, calmly taking the ball down in the air before playing a positive pass forward.
We also awarded an Opposition PoTM, picked by our captain - Gabriel C. We're loving our match nights - well done to all involved and a massive thank you to our oppositions, long may it continue!
