There was no Nerf Junior Premier League action this week for our high flying U16s team run by Pete Bailey & Riccardo Scimeca. Instead they travelled over to Tipton Youth to represent the club in the Birmingham County FA Minor Cup Round 2 after a bye in the first round. Moors gained safe passage to Round 3 with a thrilling 3:6 victory over the current MJPL side to keep their fantastic start to the season going.
In the MJPL this week, the teams managed 4 wins out of 7. Starting with Darren Wilby’s U12s team hosting Mickleover Sports. In a tight game, Moors managed to get that decisive goal to take all 3 points with a 1:0 victory. In the same division our other Moors U12s team run by Gary Bird travelled away to Ambleside Juniors Allstars, & managed to run out 2:3 winners, & kept them in touching distance of Darren’s side with both in 9th & 10th places respectively. In the U14s section, Andy Reeds side managed to keep the recent momentum going with them hosting Mansfield Town Youth & completing a comfortable 3:0 win. Simon Prosser’s U15s side hosted MYD GNG at their Shirley Town FC base, winning 4:2 to take them up to 3rd spot in their division.
In the Girls section, both U12s & U13s were the only competitive games played & both lost out to Counden (U12s) 3:0, & U13s crashed at home to top of the table side AFC Telford 0:5.
In the Sunday section, we had yet another Autumn Cup claimed by this time our U10s side coached by Lee Osborne! In their final game, they drew to Redditch Borough 3:3, but it was just enough to claim another trophy for the club, with 3 in the last 2 weeks achieved! Andy Skipp’s U12s side travelled to Oscott Rangers this week & kept themselves in contention for the title, winning comfortably 0:9 & remain in 2nd place behind top of the table Coleshill Town with a game in hand, who narrowly beat Anthony Eaton’s U12s team 1:2, keeping them in 3rd position. Gaz Davies U13s side remaining top of the league this week again despite a hard fought 2:2 draw to battling Leafield Athletic, keeping them 3 points ahead with 2nd placed Broadway Raiders finding themselves with a game in hand. In the same division Dave Howells U13s side swept aside struggling Redditch United with a comfortable 1:10 away victory with a few games in hand still to play. In the U14s section, Carl Brigden’s side travelled to struggling Maypole Lions in a local derby, seeing many of the Moors players returning to their old stomping ground. Moor ran out 3:6 winners to keeping them in the title race still, with claiming their game in hand, that would take them within 3 points of top side Bromford Lions.
