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

Wolverhampton knew they were in for a real challenge, facing a strong Stafford side including several players registered with professional clubs including Aston Villa but the game began evenly, with chances created at both ends of the pitch. Sienna Johnson tested the Stafford goalkeeper early on and at the other end, Eva Biddulph, making her debut for Wolverhampton Schools, looked confident from the start — pulling off a string of impressive and intelligent saves to keep her

Wolverhampton faced a strong South Birmingham side, who were top of the league with a 100% record, and matched them for long spells in both possession and chances created despite missing key players and having to play an unfamiliar 8v8 format. Thai created our first chance with a well-worked effort that went wide in a bright opening, and Fabien also went close after good work from Hassan in midfield, but eventually South Birmingham took the lead and we were rocked back on our

From the outset, this was a closely contested encounter with Kings Norton but Wolverhampton created the first clear opportunity when Mustafa volleyed a dangerous cross across the face of goal. Corban did well to get his head to the ball, but it was just too high for him to direct it on target and we had cause to rue this missed opportunity when our opponents finally broke the deadlock with superb effort into the top orner of the net which gave Jakson no chance. We responded p

A much-changed Wolverhampton side faced a challenging fixture against North Shropshire with three players making their league debuts and others returning after absence. As a result the team took a little time to develop into a cohesive rhythm but they nevertheless competed well in the early stages. North Shropshire broke the deadlock, by finishing from close range after a period of pressure but Wolverhampton responded well and soon drew level through a move which began with a

The Under 14 girl entertained Rotherham under the floodlights at AFC Wolverhampton and delivered a performance full of quality, commitment, and growing confidence, against the current league leaders.The game was tight from the outset, with chances at a premium for both teams and Wolverhampton worked hard to play through the thirds but it soon became apparent that the first goal would be crucial and unfortunately it went the way of Rotherham midway though the first half when

Wolverhampton’s Under-11 Schoolgirls Representative Team delivered a superb evening of football at Bodymoor Heath in the Inter District Autumn Cup and topped their initial group displaying quality, resilience, and excellent teamwork across their six games.A positive opening performance against Kings Norton, which ended in a 0-0 draw, amply demonstrated our defensive solidity and once Clara had latched on to Harman's well placed corner and found the target in our next match it

The Under 12s entertained East Riding in this Champions Cup fixture and for long periods there was so little to separate the two sides that our management team of Leigh and Rob could see strong evidence that our girls are making real progress across the pitch. Despite putting together some excellent passages of play, and moving the ball really well through midfield, however, we were never able to capitalise on opportunities which came our way whilst our opponents were fortuna

Wolverhampton started the game brightly with Alessandro rattling the post early on, but it was Erdington who struck first and they soon doubled their lead when a low shot slipped under Stefan to give them a 2-0 advantage. It got even worse when a lack of defensive organisation allowed them to add a third but this only served to spark us into action and Ciaran pulled one back with a precise finish into the corner. Minutes later we were extremey unlucky to see an effort come ba

Wolverhampton were caught cold against South Birmingham, falling 4–0 behind inside the first half with a mixture of unforced defensive mistakes and a series of slick, well-worked South Birmingham moves all contributing to our downfall. Just when it appeared that Wolverhampton were dead and buried, however, a moment of brilliance offered up a brief lifeline and clearly lifted our spirits. Lucas meeting a dropping ball with such accuracy that his superbly struck volley gave th
