Felpham Colts Youth 2 Bognor Regis Town Youth 1
This was the team’s best performance since it was formed last season against local rivals Bognor Town. Facing a strong wind in the first half the team was outstanding, defending intelligently with the outstanding Jimmy Munday leading the way. The team was trying to play their passing game but found the conditions difficult though they were unlucky to end the first half one nil down thanks to a well taken goal 5 minutes before half time.
The second half with winds on their backs the colts started to play some excellent passing attacking football which created chances for Lewis Cox and Jimmy Munday. The Colts nearly equalized when Jake Millers shot was superbly cleared of the line by Bognors Jamie Vivash. Finally with 10 minutes to go the Colts leveled through a great goal by Cameron Norris Guy who controlled a long goal kick, cut in from the left to the penalty box and smashed the ball into the top of the net. The Colts were now in control and took the lead with 4 minutes to go. The impressive Tom Riseborough sent a great through pass to Jake Arnold who coolly smashed the ball in to the back of the net. The Colts saw out the last 4 minutes for a deserved victory.
Felpham Colts: Roman, Mundy, Cummings, Logan, Mears, Simmons, Aldred, Cox, Norris Guy, Miller, Riseborough, Arnold.
Parents MOM – Jimmy Mundy
Managers MOM – The whole team for an excellent and spirited team effort in difficult conditions.

Felpham Colts Youth U10’s 1 Wick Dynamos U10’s 0
The Felpham Colts Youth team continued their recent good form with a hard fought victory against a lively Wick Dynamos team on a muddy Shrubbs Field pitch. It was Felpham who started the brightest and were rewarded with a wonder goal after 3 minutes. Eddie Simmons received a great pass from Fynn Cummings just inside the half way line. Simmons drove forward and unleashed a shot well outside the penalty box which flew into the bottom right corner of the goal. Felpham where on top now and in the first half their fluent passing game created chances for Mundy, the impressive Mike Logan in a unfamiliar midfield role and Jamie Aldred who twice came very close to scoring.
In the second half, the game was more even and the Felpham defence had to work to hard to keep Wick out, they were well supported by the hard working midfielders James Mears and Kaylem Haxton and goalkeeper Nat Roman had to make a fine low diving save, plus 2 other good saves. Near to the end of the game Colts had a good chance to wrap up the game when Simmons sent a great low cross into the box but Tom Riseborough’s first time shot was well saved by the keeper. In the last minute the Colts had to defend 3 corners but managed to hold on to a hard earned victory.
Felpham Colts: Roman, Mundy, Cummings, Logan, Mears, Simmons, Aldred, Riseborough, Haxton

The Felpham Colts Youth team moved into the quarter final of invitation cup after knocking out a team two division above them after keeper Nat Roman made two superb saves in a dramatic penalty shoot out.

The colts were now on the up and Eddie Simmons had a good chance near the end of the half to win the game.
The game moved into extra time which was very nerve racking as both teams had good chances to win the game and there were goal mouth scrambles for both teams. The match went into penalties where all 4 Colts penalty takers kept their heads to score great penalties and they were supported by goalkeeper Nat Roman who saved the first 2 lancing penalties to put the colts through to the next round.

The Felpham Colts Youth team carried on their good form with a battling performance against a tough Bognor team on a muddy Bognor pitch.
The start of the game was very even with both midfields and defence cancelling each other out. In the middle of the half, Felpham got their passing game together and created a good chance for Jacob Miller but his shot just went wide. With 6 minutes to go before the end of the half Felpham passed their way to Jamie Aldred who was standing at the edge of the box he turned and shot which went into the bottom left corner of the net. Felpham held onto their lead to half time.
In second half Bognor started to push for the equaliser but the defence held firm with man of the match James Mears outstanding. In the middle of the half the game began to be end to end and both Cameroon Norris-Guy and Lewis Cox had chances to score for Felpham. With 5 minutes to go Bognors Jack Vivash broke clear but his hard shot which was going in the bottom left hand corner was brilliantly saved by Nat Roman. From there Felpham defended the last few minutes safely to secure a great win.

Felpham Colts - WE ARE GOING UP
With one game still left to play the Felpham Colts went on a magnificent 12 game unbeaten run to clinch runners up spot and promotion. The run only came to an end when they lost to Worthing Town a team who are 3 divisions higher than them in the invitation cup semi final.
During this run the team recorded some memorable victories against Bognor Town, Lancing Rangers, Predators and Worthing Utd. This was an outstanding achievement considering this is only the 2nd season since this team was formed.. There were 15 boys who played this season and they all played their part for the team in this great achievement. They are as follows:-
Nat Roman – goalkeeper who was superb this season making endless brilliant saves and two great penalty stops against Lancing in the penalty shoot out.
Fynn Cummings – defender who joined us this season and had a great season with great timing tackles and was a joy to watch him use his pace up and down the pitch.
Jimmy Munday – defender who again was magnificent at the back making great tackles and one special clearance off the line against Pulborough Pythons.
Mike Logan – defender who again with Jimmy was a rock in defence and scored a superb solo goal against Lancing Rangers.
James Mears – played in defence and midfield this season. Always gave 100% for the team and was outstanding against Bognor Town away.
Kaylem Haxton – played a holding role in midfield giving everything for the team and has vastly improved as a football player this season.
Lewis Cox – played the holding role in midfield, again vastly improved this season and has popped up with some important goals none more than Highdown Saints away.
Jamie Aldred – midfield who has played extremely well this season, his passing game has vastly improved and scored some important goals against Bognor and the goal against Predators which gave us promotion.
Cameroon Norris – Guy – plays left midfield and has vastly improved as football player especially with his tackling and tracking play. Scored a magnificent goal against Bognor at home which was the start of our great run.
Eddie Simmons – midfield and Captain. Eddie has just been superb this season as captain and he works hard for the team every week. Scored and created important goals for the team with one special goal against Wick Dynamos.
Jake Miller – forward who joined us this season and has entertained with some brilliant skill and scored 5 goals in the last 3 games against the top 3 teams.
Jake Arnold – another forward who joined us this season and also entertained us with his skill and scored 6 important goals.
Tom Riseborough – forward whose control and passing to team players has been superb this season. Also popped up with important goals none more so than his header against Predators to set us on our way to promotion.
Jack and Jamie Vivash joined just before transfer deadline day and were superb against Worthing Minors and Worthing Utd and will be a great addition for next season.
Finally Noddy and Neil would like to thank everyone for their efforts and we are both looking forward to 11 a side football next season.
The boys had a good great day, team bonding and seeing Bournemouth win 3- 0 against Walsall. The boys were a credit to the club this weekend, they represented the club superbly on Saturday at Bournemouth and after watching the Bournemouth team before and during the game. On Sunday, the 2 minute silence was impeccable, they linked arms, head down and silent, they followed this with their best team performance of the season winning 3 - 0 away to Sompting on a small muddy pitch.
The Club would also like to thank Bournemouth's No 19 Danny Hollands for his help organising the tickets for the trip and his continue support for the U11's team.
