Match Reports

Team ONE

Team TWO

Team THREE

Clough Team1  1-0 Rothwell
A superb game with both teams showing commitment and determination from the kick off. Rothwell unbeaten all season passed the ball well and had an early shot well saved by Bradley Adams in goal. Clough responded with Anthony Linley and Scott Atkinson working the ball up the field and a return pass to Anthony almost going in the net. Man of the match Joshua Twohig controlled the defense and charged forward on several occasions .The turning point of the game came when Thomas Duffy scored with a thunder free kick from outside the area, both teams had chances with Ryan Adams second half goalkeeping heroics and Adam Milners runs and quick tackling kept a skillful Rothwell quiet.

Match Report.

A beautiful Saturday morning saw two sets of most enthusiastic players take to the field with beaming smiles. The Captains shook hands and Carlinghow kicked off, a good passing move saw Carlinghow Strikers go for an early goal, Ryan Adams for Clough got down well and pushed the shot out for a corner, taken quickly and soon broken down with good defending from Joshua Twohig and Alex Gaunt. Cloughs midfield pair of Thomas Duffy and Adam Milner linked well and the striking partnership of Joshua Twohig and Greg Woods caused Carlinghow some trouble.  Second half saw both teams make changes, Cloughs midfield pairing of Henryk Krajniewski and Liam Blakeley had an impact and the striking pair of Alex Nelson and Joshua Twohig. A well entertaining game with the experience of Clough gaining the way.

 

Final Score was Carlinghow 0: Clough 7 but the scoreline was not important, the friendship of the boys conquered the day.   

 
Team One
 Glen Juniors V Howden Clough (UNDER 7's)
A magnificent start from Glen saw them open up clough and nearly score with a long range shot, good keeping from Bradley Adams spared Cloughs blushes. Scott Atkinson replied with a good run and pass to Adam Milner who went onto open the score, a good powerful shot giving the keeper little chance. Excellent tackling and non stop running from Alexander Gaunt was rewarded with Man of the Match, James Wilcock played well and went onto double Cloughs lead with a fine shot that caught out Glen defense. To their credit, Glen battled on and good moves were broken down by a resiliant defense of Joshua Twohig and Lewis Reddick. Interplay between Ryan Adams and Bradley Adams found Anthony Linley in space who ran for g
oal and converted to finish the game off at 3:0.
Ossett 3:Clough 2
 
Team ONE
 
A positive start from Ossett with good play from their attackers was broken down well by Ryan Adams and Joshua Twohig. Clough opened the scoring with a long range shot from Ryan Adams which flew over everybody and into the net, Good play from Scott Atkinson was nearly rewarded but his final shot was tipped over the bar. Osset pulled a goal back with a good run through the centre and shot which flew past Alex Gaunt in goals. Adam Milner had a solid game in midfield and thwarted several Osset attacks. At the break Osset recovered and caught Clough with a break. Cloughs second came from a solo run and shot from Thomas Duffy.  Captain Anthony Linley rallied and pushed his team forwards. Nathan Battle deservedly earned Man of the Match with a fine spell in midfield and then in defence covering well at the back. Second half strikes from Twohig and Linley were unfortunate to be well saved.
 

 

Clough Team2  0-3 Rothwell
A positive and self belief gave Clough boys a half chance when Rothwell started with two quick goals. Excellent running and chasing from the defenders Lewis Reddick and Man of Match Joshua Wright, winning balls and setting free Nial Coyle and James Wilcock up front. Henryk Krajniewski made some important interceptions . In goals, Paul Kitchingman played outstanding with Rothwell applauding his marvelous saves. Second half, James Wilcock came close to scoring with his shot forcing their keeper to save, from the corner Joseph Pinder reacted quickly turning their defense and shooting low and hard and just going wide. Good pressure from Clough and Rothwell finished with a break and a looping shot.

Team Two
 
A strong side saw Clough dominate and eventually end the game 11:0 winners. Four goals from Tom Duffy, three goals from Ryan Adams, an excellent brace from Joshua Wright who played exceptionally well and a single for Joseph Pinder who enjoyed the sense of scoring. Good play between the Clough midfield of Henryk Krajniewski, Jack Strangeway and Man of the Match Sam Hardwick forced most of the game in Glens half. First half keeper Nial Coyle played well in the second half breaking down any signs of trouble 
Team TWO
 
Ossett1:Clough 1
 
A super game with both sides deserving the win but a draw was the fair result. Excellent battling and hard work from Lewis Reddick, he covered the whole field and supported each of his team mates superbly, Captain Nial Coyle impressed with attacking play and accurate corner kicks. Clough went behind from a well worked routine, Osset quickly went forward shot which whizzed past the Clough keeper Twohig. Fine defending from Joshua Wright and Joseph Pinder helped Clough draw level, Wright passed to Man of the Match Kyle Fozzard who slipped the ball forward to James Wilcox on the wing, quick movement from Lewis Reddick intercepted the ball and shot home passed the stranded keeper. The game was a fine spectacle for the appreciative fans.
 

Clough Team3 3-2 Rothwell
A real end to end challenge with both teams playing their hearts out, John Kitchingman constantly foiled the early runs of Rothwell with excellent blocks, Jack Strangeway supporting in defense mopped up the loose balls and sent Liam Blakely up field, Alex Nelson and Sam Hardwick played well on yhe wings and helped set up hat trick hero Greg Woods for his first, a good pass and shot . Rothwell responded immediately with a charge , goalmouth scramble and equalizer. More determination tackling from Greg and Man of the Match Paul Kitchingman put Clough ahead only to see Rothwell again equalize. A finely balanced game with all enjoying saw Clough nick the result with the last kick or the game.

Team THREE
 
Osset 1: Clough 3
 
Ossett scored within the opening minutes and caught Clough cold, Captain Liam Blakely regrouped his team and helped with a sttrong forward move to put Greg Woods in for the equalizer, George Hought stood tall in the Clough defence alongside  Sam Hardwick, a formiddable pair to opposing attackers. Jack Strangeway opened up the Ossett defence with good play on the edge of the box and Alex Woods supported the second goal scored by Man of the Match Greg Woods. Joshua Wright in goals played brilliant with brave runs out to prevent Osst replying. Second half changes saw Alex Nelson and George Hought
