Juniors u10s have kicked off season in some style
Maidenhead United's Junior teams have kicked off the new season in some style, with the u10s Whites producing another encouraging display against Henley.
With memories of last season's six-goal draw still fresh in the mind, this was once again an entertaining affair, with Stan earning the players' player of the match (POTM) for his four goal haul and determination to win the ball all over the field.
Joe also scored a hattrick and he earned the manager's POTM.
The u10s Blacks showed plenty of tenacity in their match against Finchampstead Cobras. Coach Tony said: “We didn’t lie down and POTM went to Lachlan for tenacious tackling and great skills in tight spaces in the middle of the park.”
The u10s Braves were missing a couple of players for their match with Singh Sabha, but coach Phil was still proud of how they faced up to a strong and technical Sabha side.
POTM went to Harry N, who whilst not fully fit or feeling too well, put in a real shift for the team.
Meanwhile the club's newest u10s team, the Vipers, pictured in the club's brand new kit for 2021-22, are nicely settling into life in the Berkshire Youth Development League.
