Arthur Terry 4 – 0 King Edwards Aston
Scorers
Hutchinson 3 (1 pen)

Mooring

The Arthur Terry boys put on a very dominant football display in the first half, controlling the game from the outset.  Midfield maestro Reece Hutchinson scored the opening goal with a brilliantly struck free kick from 30 yards, which proved to be just too powerful for the keeper to stop.  Hutchinson then provided the assist for Arthur Terry’s second, as Robert Mooring was well positioned to head home a well delivered corner kick.  The superb form of Hutchinson continued as he netted a further two goals before the break.  A coolly converted penalty from Reece got his second/Arthur Terry’s third and shortly after this a close range tap in went into the net to seal his hat-trick and give Arthur Terry an unassailable 4-0 lead.  As windy conditions picked up, the second half proved to be much more of a contest. After looking buried in the first half, King Edwards showed great determination and resilience and managed to shut out Arthur Terry’s attack completely throughout the second period.  Arthur Terry continued to threaten the opposition goal and went close to extending the lead on several occasions, but were just not unable to add to the first half tally. The early dominance and quality in attack from Arthur Terry’s Y11’s ultimately proved to be the decisive factor in the outcome of this game – gaining them a well-deserved victory and second trophy for the season!  ...a fairy tale ending to the season and the perfect way to end 5 great years together -

Congratulations boys!!  Proud Team Manager – Mr Byrne

U16 District Champions 2016

The Y11 boys put on a true master-class display in the final to defeat Great Barr School 7 - 0!  Robert Mooring's first-half header opened the scoring just before the break, which set the boys up nicely for the second-half goal fest that was to follow.  Midfielder Reece Hutchinson was in superb form once again and provided many assists for the rout, with clinical finishes coming from Samuel Watts and Josiah Francis in particular.  Team captain Jack Logan also contributed to the tally with a great finish from another well delivered set-piece from Hutchinson.  Despite the one-sided score line, goalkeeper Dylan Mandaracas arguably put in another man of the match performance, with several heroic saves that kept his and the team's clean sheet intact.  The whole team however were absolutely tremendous and proved to be worthy 3rd time winners of the District Cup trophy!!

U12 District Champions 2016

U12 Arthur Terry Team

 

The Y12 boys came through a very closely contested final by edging out local rivals Bishop Walsh 3-2!  The game remained 0-0 at half-time and was very evenly poised; it only stayed this way though until 5 mins into the second-half when AT striker Oliver Powell was at hand to poke home the ball from close range to open the scoring. This goal provided the cue for the 'tug-of-war' scoring to begin! Walsh equalized shortly after the opener through a suberb strike that went in from outside of the box!  AT mid/fwd Alex Jones soon replied though with another 'worldy left foot finish' that sailed into the top corner from the edge of the box, restoring the boys 1 goal advantage.  The team then stretched their lead after Oliver Powell dispatched the team's third goal, after being put through to a 1v1 situation with the GK via a stunning through ball pass from midfielder Matt Greenway. With little under 10mins to play, Walsh once again scored another screamer from outside of the box to pull the score closer and set up a classic 'backs to the wall' finish! The team went on to defend brilliantly and hold out to the end, which enabled them to secure their first trophy ...which will hopefully be the first of many to come in the future!
