🔵⚪️ STALLIONS 🔵⚪️

Hucknall Blue 4-2 Stanton Stallions

The woodwork the difference in close contest.

After a 3 week break, Stallions were away at Hucknall today in a return to league action.

Stallions began well, and took tha game to Hucknall in the opening 15. Our 2 AMs George P and Harley linking up well with Theo up front, and giving the opposition defence things to think about.

Our defensive trio of George N, Oliver and organised by Fin, stood strong against the counter attack, with the Centre mids getting stuck in for the second ball.

Our wide players, Oscar and Logan were up and down the pitch, giving everything to support both defence and attack. And super Keeper Rowan was back to his best, commanding his area and claiming every loose ball.

Talisman Adam was introduced on 20 minutes, recovering from Illness, and instantly made an impact, at 1-0 down, Adams ball squirmed through from the left, Theo was quickest to react but his shot came agonisingly off the post.

Minutes later, we received a free kick around 25 yards out, George P stepped up and whipped one which beat the keeper and again, rebounded off the woodwork, agonising!

Undeterred, George P then created a moment of magic, picking the ball up on the half way line, dribbling past 5 or so players Into the box and slotted the ball home, a fantastic individual goal and the sort of determination we expect from every player on the pitch, in every scenario.

As the game went on, Ollie and Alex were introduced, Ollie doing his usual midfield duties, breaking up play, and Alex using his strength and speed to cause problems up front.
We unfortunately conceded 3 more, carbon copies of each other, with a man at the back post slotting home unmarked. 2 10 minute periods of the game were we switched off, and were punished.

With the game coming to a close, we urged the lads on, Alex, Theo, George P and Adam all piling forward, and with 5 left, the persistence paid off, Harley sent a free kick from the right into the area, which dropped to Captain George D to slot home, a fully deserved goal for him, as he was all over the pitch for 70 minutes.

Special mention to Rowan for his world class save in the second half, commiting left and getting right full stretch to tip a shot round the post was top drawer!

A tough result to take, but the performance was largely there, we knew getting promoted we would be in for a tough season, the lads have come on admirably since September, competing with teams now, and even being the better team for large parts of the matches recently.

Onto the next one, we're getting better each week, and the results will come.

Thannkyou to Hucknall for the hospitality, big thanks to Stephen for warming the keeper up, Andy for running the line and parents for the support as always.

Also to our sponsor Grice heating and plumbing for our away kits.

🔵⚪️ NINJAS 🔵⚪️

Stanton Ilkeston Ninjas 5 -
Winthorpe & Cod Tigers - 2

Chris' thoughts from the match:

Sunny Saturday's in November? More of that please!

Hopefully those who came down today enjoyed the weather as much as the performance.

Today saw us change it up to the formation we trialed in our pre season friendly in August.
This opposition felt like the right opportunity to give it it run out and give more freedom to some players previously tasked with more defensive duties.

After that performance we will take it as a win and a good call and we left Ron Brooks as a happy coaching team.

Really pleased with everyone today, the effort, work rate and overall team work led to some fantastic Ninja possession and some equally impressive Ninja team defending.

GK through to the front line and all over the pitch battles were being won and mistakes were being made up for.

The opposition posed a challenge with a scope of sizes, abilities and athleticism much like ourselves and that led to some great battles for us to get our teeth into.

Overall though its a good day for the Ninja's and they should all enjoy their wknd knowing they all contributed to great result for us.

Thanks to the parents for their continued support, to the coaching team and Clint for running the line.

Happy weekend folks.

Thanks Chris!

A perfect morning for football, the sun broke out not long after KO and with that the Ninjas sprung into the game.

A little experimenting today, with the opposition newly formed this year from 3 folding teams in the summers. So perfect combination of the unknowns to give it a go.

Some great pressure within the first few minutes saw tigers defence under pressure, Ollis touch had enough of an effect to nudge on it to roll into the incoming Archie, 25 yards out just below the crossbar, a perfect start for our captain and team only 7 minutes in.

Tigers had some great individual talents but the group mentality of the Ninjas quickly pressed to force mistakes and win the ball. Ninjas were made to work when in possession as each loose ball would see tigers able to launch a quick counter.

Now if it wasn't for our Full backs Aston and Kayden today, the score could have been very different. Aston up against a player twice his size and Kayden against a very small but technically gifted player. Both Aston and Kayden having their best performance in a Ninjas shirt to date.

I would say tigers had the most amount of attacks against us so far but they kept the door shut almost every time despite the difficulty. Both with 10+ tackles won and playing out from the back.

It was very much end to end stuff, tigers pinching it to 1-1 with a good corner being rolled in at the back post.

Our forward players George and Jake having great opportunities. Both showed their strength well which Jake with a great moment holding off 3 separate tackles to play a ball out wide. George strong in his challenges and ensuring possession came back to ninjas. Ollie with his movements and pressing leading to ninjas 1st goal.

The central cohort of Tyler, Wayne, Archie, Josh and Orley made sure we dominated possession and able to play out and pick the right pass and linking up to cover each other well. Tyler almost having his 1st assist of the season when his beautiful curved diagonal ball after winning it on the edge of own box somehow did not end up in the back of the net. Wayne showing great timing and skill and ensuring to make tackles and cover at the time. Josh and Orley knew jobs, support attack and defence and did that to a tee. They both racked up some mileage, making key interceptions and playing in team mates, knowing when to hold, press and commit.

Captain Archie was given the role in the middle today, not quite released from defensive duties but govern from the centre. 2 goals and 1 assist as his strength, ability and physical fitness on display today.

Then we made the subs and the script had flipped. George, Jake and Ollie making way for Leo, Blake and Dylan.

For the next 20 mins, what began was a wave after wave of rapid counter attacks. Each of the forwards having a number of opportunities with their mix of individual brilliance and devastating pace.

With tigers under pressure, a loose goal kick from their keeper was hit straight back by Dylan from 30 yards to loop in. Expert finishing with his volley. 22 mins in and 2-1.

We had to wary as any time tigers had possession, they had the ability to launch their own equally matched counter attacks, so we had to be careful.

Some great and entertaining football right up to the half time whistle.

Just before the whistle, a well placed cross from Leo after beating 2 slide tackles and covering half the pitch in seconds, for Dylan to place it in at the back post.

Half time was simple today. Same again and be aware of their quality.

The 2nd half, was much of the same, end to end, with both teams missing that final touch, pass or finish. But both teams did not let up. Even with everyone getting tired, the pace did not slow down.

Tigers get one more goal to make it 3-2 early in the 2nd half.

Excellent defending, hard working midfield and switching between speed and strength up front.

50 mins in, an excellent ball from Archie into the path of on running Leo for a good finish into the far post.

With the final minute and leggy tigers, a miscontrolled ball was picked up by Archie 30 yards out, some fancy footwork and he slot in from the edge of the box into the corner.

Today demonstrating the best in our squad depth and individual player types. Although just an experiment the results were promising!

Jude - back to his high standards, his awareness and speed of his line trumped tiger counters time after time. Some great saves but no great acrobatics needed today! An excellent game for our man between the sticks.

Aston - carrying on his form from last week, to pull out his best performance so far. His opposite today was full of pace, ability and height. Aston had back him in his back pocket. Even when he was beaten, he didn't give up and kept up the pressure awaiting support from team mates, with a number of good balls forward to get us out from the back. Only beaten to POTM by Kayden, any other week and it'd been his again!

Tyler - an excellent and positive performance, he was alert and ready to pounce at any moment. His distribution from the back meant the balls forward reached the right team mates. Unlucky not to get the assist but an excellent game for him.

Wayne - much of the same from his partner in defence. The way he times his tackle to ensure his teammates are covering meant tigers had to work so much harder to beat him. Covered well on the left when needed too.

Kayden - absolute fire from Kayden today, his strength, speed and determination will give their right winger nightmares. 2 clear cut opportunity where tigers could have scored and Kayden with 2 perfect tackles. All game he worked with socks off and fully deserved POTM today.

Josh - an excellent game for josh his tackling and driving forward was in full flow today. Had an early chance to replicate his previous goal from earlier in the season, but wasn't meant to be.

Orley - also having an excellent, his stamina helping cover the pitch back and forward all game. Unlucky not be on the scoresheet with 2 chances towards the end.

Archie (C) - Like an orchestra composer today, as he dictated play. Winning key tackles, his awareness and ability to pick out the right passes. Showed great strength and skill to demonstrate the teams willingness to score more. He's continuing his fine form and well deserved coaches POTM today.

Leo - given attacking licence today and ran his socks off for every single ball. Several great runs to beat defenders and the trap. His varied his crosses and shots, paying off with goal and assist today. Great game.

Blake - a great individual talent and was great to see him play. No goals or assists today, but his attitude and determination to play a little selflessly really paid off with the 4th goal the exact play they did in training on Thursday! The press and closing down from the front put pressure on the tiger defence.

Dylan - allowed to roam the right today, did just that, his positioning the forward areas meant loose balls were picked up within 2 touches was a sprint to attack, excellent delivery from corners and a wonderful solo goal off the keepers clearance. Good game for him.

George - a positive game from him, in a more advanced position, he got plenty of touches, some good passing and good tackles.

Jake - an excellent game from him after a couple weeks on holiday. A really good performance, his strength and passing were important today. A performance to be proud of.

Ollie - a great contribution from him today. Another match, another position, another solid performance. His energy and mobility means he's everywhere on the pitch. Important touches, passes and tackles. A well deserved assist for Archie's goal summed up his day.

Players POTM - an instant vote from all players for Kayden. Captain Archie the 1st to vote him.

Coaches POTM - well deserved for Archie. His performances have become more consistent each match and today was a lesson in determination to prove himself.

A really positive performance today and the full time talk reflecting that.

We thank all of our parents in attendance today and to the coaching staff today. Clint once again stepping up to linesman!

Archie ⚽⚽🅰️
Leo ⚽🅰️
Dylan ⚽⚽

Only one league match to go for the season, promotion possible but dependant on the other results, but will look forward to it.

A shoutout to Maxwell, unavailable through injury, Mason, who's recently joined training only with us and Ex captain Grace, who came to support us!

🔵⚪️ DIAMONDS 🔵🔵

💎❄️ Cold hands, big tackles and plenty of Diamonds determination! ⚽🔥

A foggy, cold Saturday morning down at Lees Brook saw the Diamonds take on Hilton Harriers, a team we had already faced at the start of the season.

The girls got straight into the game, showing some lovely football throughout. There were some great passages of play, with the team looking to move the ball around, find those passes to feet and work together to build attacks.

Ariya, Isabelle, Athena, Grace and Emilia worked brilliantly together in midfield, helping to link up the play, win possession and keep the ball moving. Their work rate and teamwork helped give the Diamonds a platform to build from.

Olivia got herself on the scoresheet with a brilliant finish, finding a tight angle and firing the ball into the bottom-left corner, past Hilton’s keeper! ⚽🔥

Not long before half-time, Emilia took a quick corner which found Ivy, who produced a fantastic shot on target. The keeper managed to make the save, but the rebound fell kindly to Olivia, who was on hand to slot home and grab her second of the game! ⚽💎

After half-time, Hilton came out with real determination, putting the Diamonds under pressure and managing to pull one back. The girls had to dig deep, and their determination was brilliant to see.

Aoife, Ava, Ivy and AJ were incredible, putting in some huge tackles and working tirelessly to keep Hilton at bay. Every challenge mattered, and the girls showed real commitment when it counted.

Emmy was fantastic between the sticks, making some important saves to keep us in the game. And yes, another ball straight to the face! 🤣🧤 What a shift between the sticks!

A massive well done to all the girls today. They battled, supported each other and fought right until the final whistle. A performance full of determination, teamwork and plenty of moments to be proud of.

🔵⚪️ IRONMASTERS 🔵🔵

Ironmasters Vs Spirit Celtic Reds

What a beautiful morning for what turned out to be an absolutely fantastic game of football!

Before kick-off, both teams came together for a minute's silence in honour of Remembrance Weekend.

The boys stood proudly as a team to pay their respects to the fallen, with the sun shining brightly above us. A lovely moment before what was to be a brilliant battle on the pitch.

From the first whistle, the boys came out full of confidence and determination. They held their own brilliantly, with our defence standing strong and shutting down every attempt from the opposition.

Unfortunately, we gave away a penalty, which Spirit Celtic Reds took full advantage of to take the lead. But if anything, that goal seemed to spark something in our boys!

Suddenly, we weren't just defending; we were pushing forward, taking the game to the opposition and looking hungry for a goal of our own. It wasn't long before we found the back of the net and got ourselves right back into the game!

What followed was a real battle, with both teams fighting hard to get ahead. The determination paid off for the Ironmasters as we managed to take the lead!

The second half saw some fresh legs introduced and a few positional changes. The boys headed back out with the same determination, keen to hold onto their lead. But credit where it's due, Spirit Celtic Reds weren't giving up without a fight. They worked hard to block every attempt we made to extend our advantage.

With the boys pushing forward in search of that all-important next goal, it unfortunately left us a little exposed at the back, allowing the opposition to sneak in a cheeky equaliser.

Learning from that moment, the boys dug deep, tightened up defensively and continued to attack with everything they had. Both teams were giving it their all, but neither could find that winning goal, leaving us with a well-fought draw.

But what an exciting game to watch! Every single boy gave absolutely everything they had, working tirelessly for each other from the first whistle to the last.

As coaches, we honestly couldn't be prouder of the performance today. The teamwork, determination, resilience and fight shown by every single player was fantastic. Well done, boys! 💙

Coaches' Player – Klay 🏆

What can we say about this boy? I think he covered every single blade of grass on that pitch! His speed is incredible, and he always seems to find himself in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. An absolutely fantastic performance and a thoroughly deserved award!

Parents' Player – Nate🏆

An outstanding performance in defence from Nate this week. Brave, determined and never afraid to put himself into a tackle. He worked tirelessly to win the ball back and get it moving up the pitch. A brilliant display of defensive work!

Players' Player – Bradley 🏆

Chosen by last week's winner, Freddie, this week's Players' Player award went to Bradley! What an absolute corker of a performance, both in defence and between the sticks. Some of the saves he pulled off were simply incredible, leaving even the opposition applauding for what felt like an eternity! A fantastic all-round performance and a very well-deserved award.

All in all, a brilliant morning of football, a fantastic team performance and another opportunity for the boys to show just how much they are growing together as a team.

A draw on the scoreboard, but so much to be proud of off it.

Keep working hard, keep believing in yourselves and, most importantly, keep enjoying your football. We couldn't be prouder of you all!

UP THE IRONMASTERS! ⚽

🔵⚪️ IRONESSES 🔵⚪️

A day to remember on and off the pitch

As we mark Remembrance Sunday with a minuets silence before the game the Ironesses look to go 8 from 8.

As the silence lifted the girls came out fighting and dominated the first 10 minutes with Ellie’s only job in goal to do was a goal kick after a long range effort went wide.

Outfield saw physical battles all over the pitch and efforts up front from Darcey and Orlah forcing good saves from the keeper. 12mins gone and on came the subs more energy and more pressure led to us almost being hit on the counter but a solid performance from Laynee Suzie and Heidi kept us safe and solid at the back.

Second half and not much of a team talk needed just more of the same girls. Lolly and Violet relentless up the wings and Errin holding strong in the middle. A strong start from Greasley forced Ellie into some brilliant saves and more defensive brilliance from Heidi and Errin.

Then came the moment we thought would happen Darcey let fly a 🚀rocket of a shot🚀 and forced a fantastic save only for the ball to fall to Orlah who calmly but brilliantly smashed the rebound home to give us the lead🥅.

More box to box football and Keavie doing almost a marathon up and down to help at the back and get us on the attack one side and Ava matching the miles on the other wing with tackles everywhere. ⛑️A hard clearance from Greasley caught Orlah straight in the chest and knocked the wind out of her which brought about a short break in play whilst she got her breath back and made her way off the pitch surrounded by all the girls making sure she was ok ⛑️. Girls re grouped and back to it with some fantastic passing all over the pitch to see out the game and carry on the unbeaten run.

U10s – Stanton Ilkeston Giants vs Hucknall Sports Blue

Date: 07/11/26

This week, we focused on getting more players involved in midfield and working together to move the ball forward.

The opening 10 minutes were particularly strong, with both teams evenly matched and neither side finding the back of the net. We were moving the ball well, showing good intent and looking for opportunities to progress forward as a team.

As the game developed, Hucknall Blue began to find gaps and take advantage of the space, which saw them pull ahead on the scoreboard.

Although we found this challenging at times and our heads began to drop, it was another valuable opportunity for the players to learn about staying composed and maintaining confidence, even when things don't go our way.

We came out for the second half with a much more positive attitude, and this was rewarded with a goal! A lovely little trickle over the goal line from Oliver. It was fantastic to see how much this lifted the team's confidence and gave everyone a real boost. A team celebration.

There were a few moments where we could have dealt with things a little better, allowing Hucknall to take advantage of some easy opportunities given to them.

However, despite the challenges, there were some really encouraging moments of determination and teamwork.

One thing that really stood out was the way the players continued to support one another. Regardless of the scoreline, they were still encouraging their teammates, and by the final whistle, there were smiles all round. No complaining at each, and ultimately, that's what grassroots football is all about: learning, developing, supporting each other and, most importantly, enjoying the game!

There were some lovely stand out moments throughout today's match, but a few deserve a special mention.

Oliver's goal was definitely one of the highlights. Seeing all the players run over to congratulate him was fantastic and really demonstrated the team spirit we are working so hard to build. It's these little moments that show how much the players are growing together as a team.

Another highlight came from the players on the substitutes' bench. Listening to them talk about different aspects of the game, discuss what they were seeing and offering suggestions to one another was brilliant. It's great to see them beginning to think about the game, understand what's happening around them and learn from each other.

This was also Thomas's first week playing in a competitive match, and it was fantastic to see him get stuck in and give it his all. A brilliant first step in his football journey!

We also had some standout goalkeeping moments from Blake today. He made some great saves, came confidently off his goal line and really put pressure on the opposition. It was great to see him showing that confidence and willingness to get involved.

⚽ Coaches' Player – Moses

Moses was recognised for the way he was thinking about opportunities throughout the game. I could really see him assessing situations, working out when the right time was to play a longer ball and when it was better to look for a pass. It's fantastic to see him starting to make those decisions and think more about his game.

⚽ Parents' Player – Nimrod

Nimrod brought fantastic energy throughout the whole match. His enthusiasm and willingness to get involved never dropped, and a special mention for stepping up and having a go in goal too. Brilliant effort!

⚽ Captain's Choice – Isaac

Harlow was our captain this week and chose Isaac for his determination and willingness to keep trying, even when faced with an injury. A lovely bit of recognition for his resilience and commitment. Well done, Isaac!

Remember, football development isn't just about the goals we score or the matches we win. It's about the little improvements each week, the confidence we build, the friendships we make and the way we support one another along the way.

Another week of learning, growing and making memories together. Well done, Giants! 💙 ⚽

🔵⚪️ LIONS 🔵⚪️

A Tough Test for the U8 Lions 🦁💙🤍

A challenging fixture against a strong opposition who certainly put us to the test. Despite the difficulties, we were incredibly proud of the effort, attitude and determination shown by every player from start to finish.

Defensively, there were some excellent performances, with important tackles, blocks and plenty of teamwork on display. Lillia also had a busy morning between the posts, producing several fantastic saves when called upon.

In attack, we created some promising opportunities and showed some really positive link-up play. There were also some excellent moments of composure, particularly when playing out from the back and restarting play from kick-ins. Credit must also go to the opposition goalkeeper, who produced some outstanding saves throughout the game.

Fixtures like these provide invaluable experience, and there were plenty of positives for the players to take away. We’ll continue working hard in training, building on the teamwork, resilience and confidence shown today as we look ahead to our next fixture.

Plenty to learn, plenty to be proud of.

UP THE LIONS! 🦁💙🤍

🔵⚪️ TIGERS 🔵⚪️

Sleetmoor United Lions 9 - 3 Stanton Ilkeston Tigers

(Cup game)

We started extremely strong, with the first 15 mins, us having majority of the play, as we pressed hard. I was ecstatic at the work rate from our guys, and how strong we seemed, against one of the very best teams in Derbyshire. I genuinely thought we was going to pull of a miracle at the rate we was going!

Then bang, they hit us with 3 goals within 3 mins from no where, despite us having a majority of the “dangerous” play.

Having said that, I mixed the wingers and Archie/ Riley linked up well, and managed to help secure 2 goals back in a just as quick, succession. We went into half time 3-2, which seemed a little unjustified. We definitely went into half time, on the forefront of the play. I was satisfied we would have pulled it back, at the rate we was going.

2nd half comes….

And it would appear that the level of ‘work rate’ was unsustainable, with such a small squad. Our Subs was based on who couldn’t run anymore, and the kids requested to “come off”, generally, of their own accord.

Sleetmore rolled on their fresh set of subs, including a new goal keeper at half time, and they completely ‘took the sting’ out of the game for us, for the next 10/15 mins. We tried, but we just couldn’t sustain any more at that pace.

Every substitution they had was a top quality player, and with them being able to use several subs at once, it gave them all time to recoup, and continue working at 100%.

They controlled the game from the point really.

They started to become first to every single ball and just run the Tigers into the ground. The goals felt continual for this period of time.

Tbf Pretty much every goal in the 2nd half for Sleetmoor was a back post “tap in” as keeper George stopped the initial ball, but with our now tired defence/midfield being slow to react to the rebound, that Sleetmoor anticipated every single time, it become simple for them, slotting it home from a yard out, repeatedly.

We did have a final push, I mixed the defence and midfield around to give some breathing time, but it was probably “too little too late”. This gave Jacob a change though, to push higher and he did score his first goal of the season 🙌

The Tigers did start to create more in the final 10 mins ans We started to spend more time in their half/box (again) but we generally lacked the final sting that we usually have in front of net.

We were running on low, and Sleetmore was closing us down very quickly , whilst we had some delayed shots. and they generally got the final block in because of this!

I probably should have mixed the squad up earlier on, upon reflection!

I genuinely don’t think the score line reflects the game truly but that’s the difference between the “TOP-TOP” sides. They are clinical in everything they do! Give them an inch, and they take a mile, so to speak.

Well in though for our first half efforts, and well done to sleetmore. A nice, clean game.

George PMOTM,

MOTM was a tough one, Eli worked hard today and I was torn between him and Jacob, but we gave it Jacob due to his goal near the end!

🔵VIPERS🔵

🥶 A cold, foggy morning in Edwalton greeted us for our first game of the Winter League, with conditions certainly making it feel like winter had arrived! Playing today in our yellow and black kit which is very quickly becoming our “lucky yellow” kit

Before kick-off, a minute’s silence was respectfully observed by both teams in honour and remembrance of the service and sacrifice of British and Commonwealth military and civilian personnel in wars and conflicts.

As for the game itself, we certainly made hard work of settling into things, going behind early on and briefly fearing the worst!

However, we soon found our feet and got ourselves back on level terms thanks to an unfortunate own goal from a corner.

Things were starting to click, and we nearly took the lead through a brilliant strike from Theo, hit with real power but narrowly wide of the post. Seconds later, Fareed produced an almost identical effort, also just missing the target. Two warnings that we were beginning to turn the game around!

And turn it around we did! Another corner caused problems for our opponents, resulting in a second own goal and putting us in front.

Oliver then got himself on the scoresheet to give us a two-goal cushion and, at last, a little breathing room!

Our opponents weren’t going to make things easy, though, pulling one back with a lovely strike that gave us a reminder that the game was far from over. Thankfully, we responded almost immediately, with Conor finding the net to restore our two-goal advantage.

Leo came close with a good effort that narrowly missed, before producing something rather special later on. A WONDER GOAL from distance, struck brilliantly and leaving everyone impressed!

Theo had an excellent game today, working hard throughout and capping off his performance with a well-deserved goal of his own. A fantastic finish, hit with real quality!

At the other end, our opponents were throwing plenty of shots on target our way, but Kaiden was having absolutely none of it! Cool, calm and collected, he dealt with everything that came his way. The crossbar also deserves a mention, having a fantastic game of its own and stopping almost as much as Kaiden! 😂

Owen did well staying back to prevent any way back into the game for our opponents as the rest of the lads went seeking further goals

And then there was Fareed…

Clearly deciding that everyone else had enjoyed enough of the goalscoring action, Fareed decided it was his turn to take centre stage. Not content with just one, he went on to score a HAT-TRICK IN JUST FOUR MINUTES! 🔥

An unstoppable spell of finishing that rounded off a fantastic attacking performance and put the icing on the cake!

A brilliant team effort to kick off our Winter League campaign. Plenty of goals, some fantastic individual moments, and a team performance full of determination and character, especially after going behind early on.
