Below is the latest round-up of the season featuring the freshest news from both our U21s and new U18s sides, from Matt Tennant…
U18s
Bromsgrove Sporting Under-18s soared to an incredible 7-1 home victory over Oldbury United Juniors on Monday night.
The squad showed quality from the start, with George Andrewartha bagging a brilliant hat trick, Sam Dunkley finding the back of the net twice and Cody Baker and Jake Parker also adding to an impressive scoreline.
Under-18s manager, Dave Andrewartha, was thrilled with his team’s result on the night, and how his players have developed as a unit throughout the season.
“The lads produced a seven-star performance and arguably our performance of the season so far against an in-form Oldbury side,” he said.
“Our patterns of play, movement of the ball and willingness to work for each other made it extremely difficult for the opposition.
“I’m incredibly proud of the lads, not just for the result, but for their effort, attitude and team spirit. There is a real togetherness within this group, and we’re continuing to set high standards and push each other to improve every week.”
Next up, the under-18s are back in cup action, as they take on Sporting Club Inkberrow on Monday 9th November (7:45 KO) at The UK Electrical Stadium.
U21s
Bromsgrove Sporting Under-21s suffered their second loss of the season on Saturday, with a 0-2 defeat to AFC Worcester, which knocked them out of the Worcestershire County Cup.
A solid first half with good individual performances saw Sporting hold a visiting AFC Worcester to a goalless draw at the break.
A red card for Sporting and penalty for Worcester early in the second half gave the away side the lead.
The visitors continued to push their attack, before knocking in a 90th minute goal to deny Sporting a place in the next round of the competition.
Bromsgrove Sporting under-21s joint-manager, Mark Reeve, said: “We started really brightly, moving the ball and keeping possession, but we weren’t clinical in the final of third of the pitch.
“The second half saw us reduced to 10 men within five minutes and AFC scored from the resulting penalty.”
“Man of the Match goes to Joshua Burgess, for a full midfield display,” he added.
Sporting’s Under-21s return to league action on Saturday 7th November, in a visit to Cadbury Athletic U21 at Bournville Recreation Ground (10:30 KO).
