Westbury Celtic U12’s 0 Halas Hawks 1

Westbury welcomed the league leaders Halas Hawks to the Rugby Club, on a cold and very windy day. The conditions made it hard for both sides to play a decent game, but Hawks did enough to take the points and leave Westbury with one win in their last four games. We missed an open goal in the first 5 minutes and Hawks missed a penalty minutes later. Hawks kept the ball on the ground and had most of the possession in the first half. Both teams failed to create an opening in the difficult conditions, until a mistake at the back gifted Hawks a goal to give them the advantage. Westbury almost equalised minutes later when the ‘Bear’ raced down the left and put an inch perfect pass into the path of Al McCathie. Al ran towards the goal with only the keeper to beat, but a brave dive at the feet of McCathie denied him. Hawks twice went close towards the end and the game ended 1-0.

Man of the Match – Davey Perkins – He led the midfield in the absence of Ryan Boon, with non stop running and making some strong tackles when needed. 

Team – Tom McKee; Brad Taylor; Josh Somers; Jake McCathie; Zak Kings; Matt Vigurs; Davey Perkins; Chris Williams; Joe Somers; Ryan Bearcroft; Al McCathie.

Kidderminster Lions 7-1 Westbury Celtic Youth U12's

Westbury Celtic 1 – 2 Droitwich Dynamos
Joe Somers

After beating Dynamos 6 – 0 the week before, it was hard to get through to the team this was not going to be easy. With only 2 minutes on the clock Dynamos broke down the left wing and caught the Westbury defence napping as Ollie Price crossed the ball to an unmarked Dynamos player to coolly slot home from close range. The message finally got through to the team they were in for a battle. Westbury finally got on the offensive but a combination of missed chances and a committed Dynamos saw half time come and the score remained 0-1.

The second half started the same as the first with a mix up in the Westbury defence gifted Ollie Price a second goal for Dynamos. Frustration was getting the better of the Westbury players and despite plenty of possession and some neat moves they failed to break down the Dynamos. As the game entered the last 10 minutes, it took a wonder goal from Joe Somers to give Westbury hope with a goal of the season contender, when Joe beat a defender outside the area and unleashed a shot from 25 yards to give Westbury hope. Time ran out for Westbury despite having most of the possession. Two goals from two chances and a great team effort from the Dynamos was enough to earn the points.

Man of the Match – Ryan Boon, he covered every inch of the pitch, and encouraged the rest of the team throughout the game.  

Droitwich Dynamos 0 - 6 Westbury Celtic U12's

The game started brightly in this long awaited derby clash. Westbury soon got to grips with the game, the 3 forwards Jacobs, McCathie and the Bear combining to create the first real opening with Al McCathie scrapping the post. Shortly afterwards they Dan Jacobs had a shot blocked as the forwards combined well once more. Westbury continued to press for the rest of the first half with McCathie putting Westbury in control with an excellent hatrick.

At halftime Westbury made a couple of changes bringing on Joe Somers and Chris Williams. Ryan Bearcroft was causing the Dynamos all sorts of problems in his free role. Through hard work and creativity the ‘Bear’ set up 2 more goals for McCathie and Jacobs to make it 5–0. After missing 5 matches through injury ‘Faz’ Farrell came on to replace the impressive Al McCathie. With a minute left Dan Jacobs hit his second and Westbury’s sixth of the game.

Another great performance from the team from Jake McCathie, who marked the Dynamos dangerman out of the game, and Dan Jacobs and ‘Bear’ Bearcroft who caused the Dynamos defence no end of problems during the game.

However, my man of the match has to be our match winner Al McCathie who scored a superb 4 goals.

Westbury Celtic U12's 0 - 0 Worcester Colts

This weeks opponents were Worcester Colts, not only is there some local rivalry, but after a 2-6 beating in our first game of the season, we were looking for a little bit of revenge. “Captain Marvel” Jake McCathie and Brad Taylor returned from injury, and Joe Somers retained his place after a great performance last week on the right hand side of midfield after his great performance last week. The return of Jake McCathie meant he could do a man marking job on Dave Hodgetts, a player the Colts heavily rely on to get them goals.

The first half was played competitively with fine football played from both sides. Westbury created chances with “The Bear” missing a chance with the keeper to beat. Al McCathie thundered in a great free kick but no one could get a touch onto it to divert it into the net.

The defence was once again solid with Brad Taylor sweeping and Josh Somers and Zak Kings in front of him in superb form and nothing really troubling Tom McKee in goal.

After a goalless first half, the Colts woke up and started to put pressure on Westbury, but Jake McCathie shadowed dangerman Hodgetts everywhere stopping Colts from creating anything in front of goal. With Booner and Davey Perkins running their socks off in the centre of midfield and Matt Vigurs and Joe Somers stopping play down the flanks, Westbury were outstanding. With ten minutes remaining Al McCathie out paced the Colts full back after being put through by Matt Vigurs, he coolly lobbed the advancing keeper only to see his lob stick agonisingly stick in the mud and with no Westbury player following up the ball was cleared. Tom McKee pulled of to crucial saves in the final minutes of the game and Al McCathie was once again unlucky right at the death. The referee blew the whistle to the relief of both managers, neither wanted to lose this exciting game.

This was an outstanding team performance from Westbury Celtic. No individual got man of the match because every player deserved some credit for their commitment and performance, against a Colts side that were top of the league.

Hadley Rangers U12’s 2 – 6 Westbury Celtic U12's
                                                 Kings, Vigurs, Boon, Bearcroft, Jacobs, McCathie.

The playing conditions for this match was never going to be easy, overnight rain and a slope, more at home on a ski run made the pitch an unwelcome sight. We were down to eleven players as Jake McCathie, Brad Taylor and ‘Faz’ Farrell all had to pull out with injuries. The team pulled together to produce one of their best performances of the season. We won the toss and kicked up hill in the first half. It was not long before we found some fluency in our game, and laid siege on the Rangers goal. The first two goals came direct from corners; Al McCathie provided two excellent pinpoint crosses for Matt Vigurs and then Ryan Boon to put Westbury 2 up after only 10 minutes gone. With Chris Williams, Zak Kings and Josh Somers excellent at the back, Hadley never really trouble Tom McKee in the early exchanges. The third was a brilliant solo effort from Dan Jacobs who went on a run down the left flank cut inside and drilled his shot across the keeper from 25 yards. Joe Somers worked tirelessly down the right, winning every tackle. With Dave Perkins, Matt Vigurs and Ryan Boon controlling the midfield, Westbury went into halftime 3 up. With the slope now in our favour, our confidence was now sky high, Hadley pulled a goal back early in the second half and this gave them some incentive. Ryan Bearcroft was linking well with the front two giving him space to attack, as Hadley pushed for a second. He got his reward with a header from yet another Al McCathie corner. Top Scorer Al McCathie grabbed a deserved fifth to make it 5-1. With the game now looking out of reach for Hadley they scored a screamer from outside the area leaving Tom McKee no chance against the run of play. With the players giving everything and now looking tired with no subs to bring on, the lads gave it one last push to net the sixth. With five minutes remaining Zak Kings pleaded to go up for a corner and got onto another great cross from Al McCathie. After spending 4 years with Hadley, Zak Kings was delighted after the game with his goal.

The final score was 6-2, it could have been more all but for a superb performance from the Hadley keeper. At last, a will to win, a great team spirit, and an excellent performance from every player, it was a day that everything came together and came off for Westbury to make this match by far their best performance of the season.

Man of the Match – Joe Somers – all though 2 years younger than the rest he won every tackle, was dangerous going forward and dominated the right hand side if midfield.

Forest Falcons East U12's 3 -1 Westbury Celtic U12's

We went into this game knowing Falcons were a physical and competetive side, who had not conceded many goals and had taken the top three sides all to the wire.
Westbury had players out for the 3rd week running and were desperate for a first win in 3 games. A lapse of concentration and a mix up in defence with our 'keeper gifted Falcons the lead after only 3 minutes. Two minutes later, a back pass to the keeper and a high challenge from the centre forward, left ~Tom in goal sprawled out on the floor and the ball in the back of the net. Nothing was given by the ref and the Falcons went 2-0 up.
Westbury looked ahaken, and it took another 10 minutes before they started to play some fluent challenges, despite some heavy tackles and strong challenges in midfield. Matt Vigurs, Ryan Bearcroft and Josh Somers linked up well down the left on many occasions to cause Falcons problems. And they finally conceded a goal as the 'Bear' broke away down the left and whipped in a cross for Al McCathie to bury at the far post.
Falcons were getting more physical and it left some of our players needing attention from the 'Club Doctor'.
Davey Perkins and Chris Williams were linking up well down the right and Westbury seemed to lat siege to the Falcons half, but could not score the equalizer.
In the second half we still played the better football, but the Falcons would not let us get into our stride by clattering our players every time we put 2 or 3 passes together. They got their rewards half way through the half, a third, and putting the game out of our reach.
This team was no better than us and we should have come away with something, but this was our third defeat in a rowm the worst run this season. We need t improve quickly.

Man of the Match - Ryan 'Bear' Bearcroft. Never stopped running and linked up well with the midfield to create problems for Falcons.

Westbury U12's 2-4 Nunnery Sports

Under strength side for the second week running and facing another top three team, Westbury knew they were in for a tough game. With only 5 minutes into the match, the defence tried three times to clear the ball from their own box, but only succeeded in gifting Nunnery an opening goal from close range. Two minutes later, the defence was caught flat footed when a long ball from midfield went over their heads for the pacey right winger to latch onto, he hit the ball high over the stranded Tom McKee to put Nunnery 2-0 up. Westbury constantly gave the ball away and never got any rhythm going as Nunnery pushed forward looking for a third. But midway through the second half, Westbury hit them on the break and a fine ball from midfield sent Al McCathie racing into the penalty area only to be brought down by the right back. the ref pointed to the penalty spot and Ryan Boon made no mistake to calmly slot home.
Five minutes later an identical move down the left found McCathie looking for an equaliser, but yet again he was fouled in the box and awarded a penalty. Ryan Boon stepped up again and fired home from the spot. Westbury pressed for the lead in the final minutes of the first half, but hard work from Al McCathie, Booner, Matt Vigurs and Brad Taylor came to nothing as Nunnery broke down our left with the right winger out pacing Matt vigurs and Chris Williams, he whipped in a superb cross to find their centre forward unmarked on the far post to head in their third.
In the second half, our midfield ran out of steam and the defence struggled at times to cope with the Nunnery's 3 forwards. Constantly losing possession in midfield and never stringing more than 3 passes together, Westbury continued to struggle. They finally conceded the game 10 minutes from the end when Nunnery scored a fourth.
Although the team was under strength, this performance was not good enough, we have now lost four out of nine games. Certain players need to improve and we all have to start playing as a team and produce the fine football I know we are capable of.

Westbury U12's 0 Kidderminster Lions 2

Our first match in 4 weeks, and up against a Lions side that are challenging at the top of the table. We were up for the game and confident of getting at least a point.
Right from the whistle, Westbury looked organised and the midfield, led by Booner and Matt Vigurs, started to take control of the game. A through ball from Vigy, to the energetic Ryan Bearcroft tore the defence apart and as the 'Bear' was about to shoot, the defender pulled his shirt and grappled him to the floor. But the ref (A mercenary named Andy Merry!) waved on play, and the ball fell into the hands of the Lions 'keeper. The battle in midfield got more physical and Davey Perkins and 'Faz' got stronger, winning tackles and passing accurately to the forwards. Both teams had limited chances in the first half, with both sets of defenders playing well, especially the Westbury defence, with Jake McCathie marking the tricky Matt Smith out of the game, and Zack Kings sweeping behind....these two are starting to form a formidable partnership at the heart of the defence. Josh Somers and Chris Williams were also impressive as full backs joining in the attack when needed.
In the second half, the middle of the park saw all the action once again, with crunching tackles and some lovely passing moves, mainly involving man of the match Matt Vigurs, who was a constant threat down the left, and 'Faz' who ran his socks off until substituted 10 minutes from the end.
Al Mcathie and Ryan Bearcroft had a couple of half chances, but it was Lions who broke the deadlock 10 minutes from time. A long ball was put over the top of Westbury's defence. Zack looked comfortable closing down the tricky Matt Smith, but slipped on the greasy surface tom leave the Lions forward one to one with Tom McKee....he made no mistake to slot home from close range.
Two minutes later a carbon copy of the 1st goal, but this time involving the unflappable Jake McCathie, put Matt Smith through yet again to put the game out of Westbury's reach.
Everyone was gutted! We had played so well and dominated most of the game, but came away with no points. the whole team were a credit to themselves....they gave 110% and deserved something from this game. Let's hope this is a good sign for the New Year and we get a few points under our belt.

Westbury U12’s 2 Hartlebury Harriers 1

Although Hartlebury were bottom of the league, statistics showed that they have lost most of their games by only the odd goal. So we went into this game reminding the team that this was not going to be a pushover.
We started the game with 5 in midfield, but early in the first half we were allowed the luxury of moving Matt Vigurs into a left wing position. This paid off and caused problems for the Harriers defence with 3 attackers coming at the regularly. Albẻrt was unlucky with a couple of chances and so was Ryan Bearcroft, the Harriers keeper keeping them out with some fine saves.
Midway through the 1st half, the keeper handled the ball outside of his area and the free kick specialist Ryan Boon stepped up to take it. He drove the ball high into the right hand corner but the keeper saved again. With 'Booner' driving the midfield on and Dave Perkins and 'Faz' making runs down the flanks, Westbury were creating plenty but not getting their reward with a goal. With ten minutes left of the first half, Harriers broke down their left, two Westbury players gave chase, but with the help of a defensive error, the ball was crossed to an unmarked attacker who slotted home from close range....one attack, one goal for Hartlebury, and Westbury were left chasing the game again.
Joe Somers and James Walters came on as subs in the 2nd half and both made significant contributions straight away. James Walters picked up the ball on the half way line and found Al McCathie with a 20 yard pass, McCathie broke away from the defence and scored the equaliser. Ryan Boon and Joe Somers were driving the midfield on, and when James Williams came on as sub with 15 minutes to go, he gave their left back plenty to do with some fine runs down the right wing. In the last 10 minutes a mix up in the Harriers defence let Albẻrt McCathie in again. He chipped the keeper and found the back of the net for his 2nd brace in two weeks.
Westbury won 2-1, but despite having all the play in the game, they failed to finish after creating so many chances.
Zak Kings and Dave Perkins continue to impress as the new boys, and Ryan Boon, 'Faz' and Joe Somers worked hard in midfield, but 2-goal Albẻrt McCathie was man of the match.
This was the last game before Christmas, so we would like to wish all our players and parents and everyone at Westbury Celtic FC, a Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year! (Rich & John)

Westbury Celtic Youth U12's 2 Kidderminster Athletic 1

After going a goal down in the first 10 minutes and Westbury’s keeper Tom McKee making 2 great saves to keep them in touch, Westbury came back in style to take all the points in a physical game. Albẻrt McCathie grabbed a first half equaliser then scored what will be an under 12’s goal of the season contender. McCathie beat two Kidderminster players before finishing with an outstanding chip late in the second period.
Man of the Match Tom McKee.

Westbury Celtic Youth U12's 3 Hadley Rangers 3
This was a match we were hoping to pick up 3 points, but with a muddy pitch and a Hadley side fielding 4 new players, this was not going to be an easy ride. Within 10 minutes, Westbury were a goal down when a player was allowed to run at goal and unleash an unstoppable 25 yard drive, giving Tom McKee no chance in goal. Westbury's play was scrappy, but they started to create chances late on in the 1st half and got their reward when Ryan Boon slotted home just before half time.
Ryan Bearcroft came off the bench for the 2nd half and started to link up well with Matt Vigurs down the left flank. A run from Albert down the right and a cross into the area found an unmarked 'Bear' who drilled home into an empty net.....Westbury were now in front for the first time.
The pitch was getting heavier and the game more scrappier as Hadley pressed to get the equalizer. It came midway through the 2nd half. a cross came in from the right, two defenders attempted to clear, but a striker nipped in and scored from close range. Hadley were now looking for the winner, and when they were awarded a free-kick from just outside the area, they made no mistake and were in front again.
The 'Bear' scored a great individual goal again to get his brace. Matt Vigurs put the ball into the net, but was ruled offside by the linesman. A 3-3 draw was probably a fair result on the day. We have a friendly against Northside on Sunday and then a two week break thereafter.
Great performance by Brad Taylor, Chris Williams and Matt Vigurs and a great 2nd half from Ryan 'The Bear' Bearcroft, who scored his first goals of the season.....Well Done!

Westbury Celtic Youth U12's 0 Kidderminster Lions U12's 4
This match was played in difficult playing conditions, with the strong wind being a major factor. Kicking with the wind in the 1st half, Westbury played well and were camped in the Lions half for long periods, but they could not score the vital goals need to take the advantage into the second half.
Playing with the wind in their faces for the second period, and the odd player running out of steam, led to the Lions 1st goal, as once again, sloppy defending cost us dearly.
Ryan Boon ran onto a great pass soon after, but the goalie made a great save to deny Westbury an equalizer. We held the Lions at bay for another 10 minutes, but as so many times before, bad defending and lack of commitment gave Lions 3 more goals to hand them a flattering 4-0 win.

M-O-M - Jake McCathie, he marked the brilliant Matt Smith out of the game, to prove he is probably the best man marker in the league.
 

Nunnery Sports 2 Westbury Celtic Youth U12's 4
This was a much needed win, against second placed Nunnery Sports, who are managed by a former Westbury Celtic player, Jon Dale.
Westbury started the game a much livelier side than last week and straight away created a couple of chances. Dan Jacobs commanded the midfield, and Albẻrt McCathie and Ryan Boon did plenty of running up front. Albẻrt opened the scoring with another great finish, and Dan Jacobs made it 2-0 with an unstoppable 25yard free kick that slightly deflected into the net.
With Brad Taylor playing as sweeper behind Jake McCathie and Chris Williams, the defence looked a lot more organised.
But just before half-time, Nunnery got a goal back when a hopeful cross into the penalty area came off the top of Brad's head and into the path of an unmarked striker.
In the second half, Westbury again looked the stronger side, with Josh Somers and Matt Vigurs runs down the wings to cause the Nunnery defence more problems and Dan 'Faz' and Booner dominating the midfield.
'Faz' picked up the ball in his own half and made a pass, David Beckham would have been proud of, to Albert who sprinted away from the defence and slot home his second goal. Ten minutes later, Nunnery pulled another goal back with a stunning strike from outside the area.
With 15 minutes to go, the ball fell to Josh Somers feet, he ran towards the penalty area and unleashed a brilliant shot that came off the post and into Ryan Boons path who put the ball into the empty net. Did the ball cross the line from Josh's shot? Half the team said 'Yes' and Booner and the other half of the team said 'No'
Lads, sort it out yourselves, but whilst I was filling in the match report sheet, Booner assured me it was his goal.
A 4-2 scoreline flattered Nunnery Sports, we should have won far more convincingly, but this was a great performance from the whole team who now look like a side with confidence.....and a will to win!

Halas Hawks 5 Westbury Celtic Youth U12's 1
Westbury went into this game knowing they had to win to stay in contention at the top of the league table. But right from  the start of the game, it became clear the other team wanted it more than us. They were first to every ball, stronger in midfield, and more organised in defence. Brad Taylor was trying his hardest to get a grip in midfield, but his team-mates continually let him down as the Hawks took control. They were gifted four goals in the first half. Westbury were handed an own goal just before the half time whistle.
After strong words from the coaches, Westbury were more positive in the second half with Ryan Boon and Brad Taylor starting to run play in the midfield. Albẻrt McCathie outpaced the Hawks defence, but was brought down in the penalty area. The ref pointed to the spot and Albert stepped up to take the kick himself, but his penalty was put high over the crossbar. Hawks seemed to find their confidence again and played some good attacking football. Their reward came late on to make the score 5-1 and knock the stuffing out of the Westbury side. This was yet another disappointing performance from a team full of ability.
Two defeats out of three is not good enough from a side who we thought would be challenging for the League title, but now, if we are not careful, could be battling for survival in Division 1.

Topps 2000 6-3 Westbury Celtic Youth U12's
South Staffs Charity Cup
Looking at the draw in this Invitation Cup, and seeing teams from Birmingham, the Black Country and Staffordshire, I knew a good cup run was not going to be easy. We were paired with a team from Stafford, Topps 2000, Someone we knew nothing about, or the quality of football they played, but 5 minutes into the game, I noticed their centre half was something special. He lead the line in a well organised offside trap and let nothing pass him, and their 4 man midfield all tackled like Roy Keane!......This was a well organized team.
However, Westbury were playing well, Brad Taylor and Ryan Boon were running the midfield, and Matt Vigurs and Ryan Bearcroft were linking up well and causing problems down the left. But halfway through the second half, Topps broke away in midfield, Westbury's defence failed to close a player down and his shot from outside the box, went flying into the net. Five minutes later, Brad Taylor picked up the ball deep in his own half and sent a pass high over their defenders, Albẻrt McCathie out paced the left back, finally beating the offside trap, to slot home the equaliser.
The game was evenly balanced and half time the ref came over to remind me of extra time and penalties if it remained all square at full time.
Two minutes into the second half, the ball dropped to an unmarked 'Faz' Farrell. He panicked and failed to score from close range. Minutes later, Dan Jacobs was put through into the penalty area and was clearly brought down, but the stand in Ref waved play on!
Topps 2000 then woke up. They broke down our left, put a cross into the box and the centre Forward hit the ball first time to score a cracking goal.
Two further goals came quickly, as Westbury, yet again, ran out of steam in the last 15 minutes.
Ryan Boon, briefly gave us hope with a goal to make it 4-2, but two more sloppy goals from the opposition, and a spectacular long range effort from Dan Jacobs made the score 6-3, which flattered Topps 2000, but they gave us a lesson in the Physical side of the game.....something Westbury should learn from.
Good Performances from Brad Taylor, Ryan Boon and Matt Vigurs.

Westbury Celtic Youth U12's 3-2 Nunnery Pumas
After last weeks disappointing result, Westbury knew they could not afford another defeat to a well organised Pumas side. Only one minute into the game, Matt Vigurs split open the defence with a through ball to Albẻrt MaCathie, he calmly side stepped a challenge and fired in a goal from long range. Minutes later, Westbury won a corner, and Albert stepped up to take it. His corner then went straight in from the spot.
Pumas then decided to play football and half way through the first half broke away from midfield, down the left hand side, crossed the ball to the far post and a Puma player was waiting to score from close range.
Ryan Boon came off injured and Matt Williams came on to take up position in the centre of midfield. He and Brad Taylor took control of the middle, and minutes later, Dan Jacobs jumped on a mistake at the back, to fire home a shot in off the bar. However, the team was stunned when the referee ruled the ball had not crossed the line, and disallowed it.
2-1 up the second half and Westbury were creating many chances, but could not finish. James Williams came on up front with 10 minutes to go, and within seconds put a great pass into Matt Williams feet, he rounded a defender and scored to make it 3-1.
Chris Williams, James Walters and Jake MaCathie were solid in defence, but with seconds remaining, lost concentration allowing the Pumas to score. The ref then blew to give Westbury a richly deserved win.
