Highfields, Our Lady & St Chad, Wolverhampton Grammar School, The Royal, and NEWA all took part in this year’s City Futsal competition which was played in such a wonderful spirit. The standard of play was outstanding, with every school showing determination and steady improvement as the day progressed and we were so impressed by the commitment, sportsmanship, and high level of skill on view throughout the tournament!   After a closely contested league stage Our Lady & St. Cha

The u11 Boys began the morning against Kings Norton in a good position to win the league and, despite knowing the importance of this fixture, they had no reason to fear the opposition in the light of their recent excellent form but what could go wrong, did go wrong, and they were never able to fight back after conceding a couple of early goals.   Kings Norton grew in confidence as the match progressed and whatever changes were made the squad seemed unable to find a way to con

Wolverhampton Schools’ u14 Girls Representative Team produced another impressive performance under the floodlights to defeat Kidderminster Harriers Girls in this Wednesday evening fixture at Lilleshall National Sports Centre. The match also had an interesting dynamic, as two Wolverhampton players are also part of the Kidderminster Harriers set-up, but whilst Leja Lopetaitiene was unavailable for the fixture, Issy Campbell did feature for Kidderminster and had the daunting tas

Wolverhampton Schools under 12 Girls side produced an excellent all‑round performance on Sunday March 1 st  to secure a comprehensive victory in this 9‑a‑side friendly at Moreton School against a strong NAR Sports side who arrived with a squad packed with quality, featuring players from Stoke City, Crewe and Port Vale Academies and Emerging Talent Centres. This was a highly competitive match played at a strong tempo throughout and Wolverhampton set the tone early on with a pr

Wolverhampton started the game brightly and Jaxxon had a couple of early efforts on goal that were well saved by the North Shropshire goalkeeper but both teams looked lively in attack during the opening stages and at the other end we were indebted to Ethan for keeping the scores level. It was a tribute to both sides that the tempo remained high throughout the rest of the half and after Jaxxon and Lucas had both seen shots go just over the bar, and North Shropshire had come ev

Wolverhampton made a fantastic start against Aston and in the opening minutes, Jakson showed excellent awareness in goal, to spot Corban’s run, and his long clearance bounced over the Aston defender, enabling Corban to lift the ball over the advancing keeper to give us the lead with a composed finish. Corban continued to cause problems for the opposition but Aston responded well and managed to level the game at 1-1 and the rest of the half was exciting, end-to-end and played

Our u14 and u15 Girls teams provided a great showcase for Wolverhampton District girl football and treated the crowd to some exciting football crowd when they faced each other on Sunday March 1 st  at the Sporting Khalsa Stadium. Wolverhampton Schools FA have organised district representative schools football for over a century and this type of fixture between two age groups used to be played quite regularly but unfortunately in has become a rarity today. This is a great pity

The u11’s faced old rivals South Birmingham this morning and left themselves with a mountain to climb after trailing 1-0 at half time but what a transformation after the break. Indeed the second-half turn around was world-class and Hassan was at the heart of everything. He provided the engine in midfield, set the tempo from the centre of the park, and broke up attack after attack, allowing us to push forward and break the lines and eventually the pressure paid off. Thai found

Three games, one determined squad, and an evening of excellent football at Bodymoor Heath for the Wolverhampton U11 Girls team. They produced three strong performances to finish the night unbeaten, without conceding a single goal and the marker was set in our opening game against Cannock when Clara drove forward and delivered a dangerous cross across the face of goal that just evaded Olivia at the far post, and Sienna saw her effort brilliantly saved on the line. Cannock resp

The u10 girls produced a determined and disciplined team performance this morning away to Stafford despite the pitch turning out to be much bigger than expected. The full-size playing area, and extraordinary length, certainly provided for a real great test of stamina for everyone involved but if nothing else it certainly made for an energetic contest and with no offside the game certainly had its unusual moments. Nevertheless our girls were working so hard for each other and

Football… but not as we know it. This was a tactical adventure and before every game, captains stepped forward to draw a mysterious “Game Changer” card. This meant in an instant, the rules could flip and we could expect extra players, double-value goals, sudden 1v1 duels and even goalkeeper-versus-goalkeeper facing each other in a showdown. And if scores were level we would go straight into 3v3 extra time. No time to think with everything so fast, frantic and unforgiving. No

Team manager Jazz Bains challenged the u10 players to use this friendly against Erdington as an opportunity to develop their passing, teamwork and  patterns of play, and the lads certainly responded by producing a disciplined performance against an energetic opponent. Both sides were clearly focussed on keeping possession and building attacks with purpose but Wolverhampton could hardly have made a better start as we took the lead with our very first attack. Sehaj striking a p

Wolverhampton u11’s produced their best performance of the season when their faced Aston this morning in an eagerly anticipated Cup quarter-final encounter at Brookvale. Every player rose to the occasion producing a display full of energy, quality and sharp attacking play which fully vindicated the faith that team manager Eddy Hall has always had in this group of players. The breakthrough came early when Thai won possession in midfield and played Corban through on goal.Corban

The closely contested 0-0 draw against Rugby, with limited chances at both ends, brought the first half of the Midlands Inter-District League season to a close in conditions which were extremely challenging. Freezing temperatures, persistent rain and strong winds making it a far from the ideal experience for players and spectators alike but that said, the girls showed real character, enthusiasm and determination throughout.   Erin took over in goal from Poppy and made a coupl

Wolverhampton U11 Boys faced a physically and technically impressive Erdington team this morning and produced arguably their best first-half performance of the season. Erdington were largely restricted to long-range efforts which were comfortably dealt with by Jakson in goal and the only real surprise was that the lads were not able to take a more substantial lead into the interval. Arjan, who had been drafted in from our u10s, breaking the deadlock with a superb left foot ha

The Wolverhampton u10 Girls travelled to play Stafford in a 7-a-side friendly at Bishop Lonsdale School, Eccleshall, and took the game to the opposition from the opening whistle. They displayed great confidence on the ball and played some truly lovely football in a performance that really demonstrates how well this group is developing together and our girls fully deserved their 3-2 victory. At times they produced passages of play featuring beautiful linked triangles and well-

Wolverhampton Schools Under 10s bowed out of the cup at the semi-final stage after a hard-fought defeat to Erdington Schools, in a match that showcased effort, resilience, and promising performances from a much-changed side containing four new players making their competitive debut.The first half was evenly contested, with both sides creating chances until we needlessly conceded two goals and the team never really recovered from this early setback. The lads eventually lost 5

Wolverhampton Under 12 Girls produced a determined and resilient performance in a highly competitive National Plate encounter against Swansea, pushing all the way to the final whistle despite a narrow 2–1 defeat. The match was evenly contested from start to finish, with neither side able to fully dominate for long periods but if anything Wolverhampton probably looked the stronger before the break and went into half-time enjoying a spell of ascendancy despite the game remaing

The Primary girls were back at Bodymoor Heath for their first Friday evening games of the New Year and once again these five teams were so well matched that goals were always going to be at a premium. The Wolverhampton girls began on the backfoot by losing their opening encounter, with Sutton Coldfield scoring the only goal, but then recovered well to win their next two games by the same 1-0 margin. Sienna J. on target against Aston and Willow scoring the winner against Harbo

It was great to see our youngest district representative players in action at Moreton School and from the opening whistle it became evident that this friendly encounter against Stafford was going to be played with real enthusiasm, energy and competitiveness. Both teams showed plenty of emerging talent and skill, and I'm sure that the Wolverhampton girls will continue to progress under the careful guidance of our coaches Rob and Pete. Wolverhampton started brightly and thought
