November 7th. 2026. Defeat for the u11 Boys.

Wolverhampton made a positive start in their opener against East Birmingham, with some encouraging football in midfield. Malachi and Leo were also looking impressive, Jaxxon, Bertie, Sehaj and Cairan were all producing good passages of play and the signs were certainly looking promising with Jaxxon almost giving us an early lead.

Ethan was called into action, and produced a good save early on by pushing an effort over the  crossbar to keep the scores level, but generally we looked in control until East Birmingham grabbed the lead and from that point we were decidedly second best.

East Birmingham quickly added a second and third goal and by the time we left one of their players, completely unmarked to score a fourth from close range we were looking a well beaten side.

Despite a late flourish our lads were unable to find a way through the East Birmingham defence and our opponents were good value for their 4-0 win.

Wolverhampton began their second fixture against South Birmingham with great determination with Malachi producing a good effort which was well saved, and Cairan at the other end of the pitch demonstrating excellent awareness and determination to clear a goal-bound effort off the line with Ethan beaten, only to see our opponents eventually take the lead.

This proved a real setback and Wolverhampton’s task got even worse when our opponents extended their advantage when we failed to deal with a ball in the defensive area. South Birmingham’s third goal took the match beyond us but we continued to work hard without reward as the opposition were very effective in defending their 3-0 lead.

Although both results were disappointing, our players continue to work hard and show some encouraging individual performances. Positive contributions in midfield, good goalkeeping from Ethan and an important goal-line clearance from Cairan.

Squad:  Ethan, Leo, Aaron, Jaxxon, Malachi, Sehaj, Cairan, Bertie, Zac.
