November 7th 2026. u11 comeback win.

Wolverhampton Schools u11's produced a fantastic team performance to secure a hard-fought 3-2 victory over South Birmingham Schools C, showing great determination, teamwork and character to turn the game around after both teams had been well matched in the opening stages..

South Birmingham edged ahead to take a 1-0 lead and carried this advantage into the interval but Wolverhampton responded positively after the break and began to make their attacking play count. Bertie got the comeback underway with a well-taken goal to bring the scores level and we refused to sit back and continued to take the game to our opponents and build momentum.

Wolverhampton's pressure was finally rewarded when a long clearance from Ethan created an opportunity for Malachi to turn the ball home from close range and further attacking play involving Bertie and Malachi, helped create Wolverhampton’s third goal. Jaxxon breaking clear and, reacting quickly to fire the rebound emphatically into the net after his initial effort had been saved..

South Birmingham pulled a goal back to make it 3-2 as we were giving players opportunities to experience different positions but Leo, who had replaced Ethan in goal, could not be blamed as there was nothing he could have done to prevent the close-range finish.

The closing stages were very competitive, but Wolverhampton held on to secure a deserved 3-2 win. It is great to see the players continuing to develop their all-round game by experiencing different positions and taking on new challenges and overall this was a brilliant effort from the whole squad. Well done, boys – a fantastic result and a performance to be proud of!

Squad: Ethan.Leo.Aaron.Jaxxon, Bertie,Zac,Lucas,Rocco.
