U13's - no game
U14's - Kidsgrove Athletic (away) 10am kick off
An early start for the U14's on Sunday - and, don't worry, they only beat Nantwich 8-1 in the Cup ;-)
To find Kidsgrove's ground, head towards Stoke on the A50, and take the turn off after the Talke junction. Follow the dual carriageway up, over the first roundabout and turn left at the second roundabout (past KFC). Follow this road along til you come to Heathside Lane on the left - turn up here and the pitch is on your left, about 500 yards up the road.

RCT U14 0-9 Cheshire Blades
A much improved (20 goals better!) performance today - the defence fought well through out the game, and the score would have been much closer had it not been for some truly appaling refereeing - restarting the game whilst a substitution was being made, allowing some awful challenges on our keeper, and not giving obvious free kicks throughout.
The new formation worked well and we will stick to this for forthcoming games.
Man of the Match - Simon Denney for some awesome goalkeeping - also well done to Mike Reece, and Simon Cliffe also did well - but everyone battled throughout and gave 110%.
We still need to clear the ball more quickly, and our midfield need to try and gain more possession, but overall a much improved performance

RCT U13 0-3 Gist U13
U13's were unlucky to lose to a Gist side who never looked like they were 5 places above us in the league!
Excellent performances from Luke W, Josh, Ed Sykes and Ed Holmes, but everyone had a good game. Try to push further forward when attacking - a number of times we played a long ball forward and there was no-one on the end of the ball.
Nantwich Town next week! Yay...;-)

U14 - results of research/homework!
We have now analysed everyone's comments - thanks for completing the sheets.
Areas we need to improve were categorised as follows, with the number of players mentioning them shown:
NO TACKLING 5 players
NOT CLEARING BALL 4 players
DON’T PASS EARLY ENOUGH 4 players
NEED TO SHOOT EARLIER 2 players
Generally, we need to clear the ball at the first opportunity, shoot earlier, get tougher in tackling and look for passes earlier rather than trying to beat the whole team.
Other comments included:
General comments:
SCARED OF OTHER TEAM
GIVE UP TOO EASILY
NO FIGHT
LET BALL BOUNCE
KICK OFFS TOO PREDICTABLE
LOOK TIRED
CONTROL BALL BETTER
WANDERING OUT OF POSITION
Defensive comments
GOALIE SHOULD CLEAR BALL QUICKER
MARKING AT CORNERS
MIDFIELD DON’T HELP DEFENCE OUT ENOUGH
Attacking comments
NEED BIGGER PLAYERS UP FRONT
Let's work on these areas on Sunday and look for improvement, especially in the top areas which were mentioned the most.

U14
After Sunday's 'game' we need to start again. For this reason we have asked all players to write down what worked and what didn;t on Sunday, and why you think the result went so badly against us. Also, we need to know what you feel is your best position so that we can settle on a definitive team and stick with it - I think we have been trying players in different positions each week and we need to decide on a formula and stick to it.
Following your comments on Friday we will put a team together - this team will stay together until at least Christmas, barring suspensions and injuries/unavailability.
You are not bad footballers. Other teams have been together for years and have played 3 or 4 times a week in school and other teams for years. We are, comparitively, a new team. Deciding on a settled line-up will help us improve. Some of you may not be placed in your first choice position, but if this happens this is for the good of the team.
Once we have decided on the team line up, we will speak to each of you individually and explain exactly what is required of you in your new position. Obviously, with 18 in our squad, some of you may 'share' a position, with the player who does best on Friday starting the game on Sunday. Mike has expressed a wish to play in defence, so Simon will be starting in goal from next week, with Mike deputising as and when necessary.
We play Cheshire Blades on Sunday, and Terriers again the week after. We need to show some pride next time we play Terriers - on Sunday too many players gave up before the game had even started.
See you on Friday

U13 1-4 Madeley Whitestar
U13's were unlucky to lsoe against a Madeley team they had beaten earlier in the year. Rhys Potter scored (again!) and Josh played superbly in defence.
