Frinton and Walton U13 reds 0 Bures U13 7
This was a tale of 2 halves, the first 10 minutes we looked a bit shaky and gave away a sloppy goal but we rallied well and were far the better footballing side. The second half started, the weather was horrific, the boys were freezing, we gave away another goal  and from then on we were in trouble. The sheer size of the opposition overwhelmed us  today and  we were finding the constant long throw and long ball into our half  hard to deal with . We lost 3 players to cold and injury and played the last 20 minutes with 10 men. The remaining boys battled hard but could not stop the flow of goals . The pitch contributed to at least 2 of their goals and I'm sure on a better day towards the end of the season we would have had a better outcome, but we will take the positives out of the game  and bounce back next week. Thanks to all the parents for braving the weather, see you all next week, unlucky boys .

Frinton & Walton under 13 reds 3  Frinton & Walton under 13 blues  4

A bright but cold Sunday afternoon at Halstead Road, the best pitch in the area. It was a bit sticky in the middle but great down the wings.

We welcome Frinton & Walton u13 Blues who are riding high in the B league for a local derby, a great atmosphere and a good turn out from parents on both sides.

The match got underway and it was pretty even for 10 mins then the blues scored two quick goals and put them in the driving seat, but we hit back after a great free kick from Vinny which flew across the 6 Yard box. Jai controlled the ball set up Ollie who struck it into the net to make it 2-1.

The match was pretty even, the work rate from our boys was superb snapping at the oppostion and not allowing them to get into any kind of Rhythm.

The Blues scored again to make it 3-1 and that's how it stayed until the end of the first half  Ollie had to go off as he was feeling unwell and was replaced by Glen who made his first appearance for us and he had a good steady Game down the right hand side.
We conceded a 4th goal and road our luck for the next 15 mins in which Jake made some brilliant saves and some great tackles from the back kept the score to 4 .
Then little Jo went of inured and Ollie came back on. After some great work from Ollie; who was pulled down on the edge of the box. The freekick saw Vinny rattle the crossbar Jai hit the rebound and eventually turned in by George.

We were now starting to believe in ourselves and turned in some great football with some neat passing all over the pitch.

The blues had their chances but were finding Jake and the impressive Andrew Jamie and Jordon hard to beat.

A great through ball from vinny saw Ollie dance past two defenders and beat the goalie and place the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-4
the Ref blew the whistle and this was an end to another cup run.
The team were outstanding today, to go down by 4 goals and not crumble and to bring the game back to a tense finish was fantastic.

Good to see Dom back after illness a real one hundred percent player it really showed today what a great bunch of lads we have and how close they are as a team.
A great Performance really proud of the boys well done.

ST OSYTH U13 1 FRINTON AND WALTON REDS U13 5
 
It was a cold Sunday morning at St Osyth but the pitch was in good condition and the boys were keen and pleased to get another game in this stop start season. We started brightly with some nice passing and movement and it was not long before Ollie  put us into the lead. Big Joe went close on 2 occasions,  then up popped Ollie again to make it 2, its great to have Ollie in the side, his workrate and attitude is fantastic and he deserves the goals he's scoring at the moment. We continued to play some neat football but found the packed St Osyth defence hard to break down. When we played the ball out wide to Vinny and George on the right and Andrew and Jai on the left we looked like scoring. It was after some neat play from little Joe and a great ball from Kaz out wide to Jai, who struck a brilliant left foot shot from outside the box into the back of the net to make it 3 -0.
The second half was much the same and an unfortunate rebound from the St Osyth keeper's clearance saw the lively George  beat his player and smash an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net. St Osyth didn't give up and had a couple of  chances themselves, the first of which Jake pushed over the bar but the second went in to make it 4-1. We got back into our stride  after the goal and it wasn't long before Kaz got his reward for his efforts with a great strike to make it 5-1. Ben played some nice football and big Joe is getting better as his confidence grows, the back four  look solid and little Joe, Vinny and Jordy  were outstanding today. Jamie is reading the game well now and knows when to cover Vinny and Andrew when they push forward. A good performance today and a much needed 3 points well done.

Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 2 Halstead U13 Reds 4 (A E T)
 
This was the 1st game for what seemed like an eternity, the pitch at Halstead Rd was in great condition considering the recent weather and  that  two games had taken place already before us.
The boys played well right from the whistle. Some great work between J Chaplin and George was causing all sorts of problems for the visitors defence while Kaz and Josh were in control of the centre and Jai was lively down the left flank. Big Joe was winning his tackles and played his best game so far of the season we created several good chances and it took a low drive from Jai from the edge of the box to open the scoring.
Although we created more chances we could not add to our lead before the end of the first half. We started the second half pretty much the same, with come great football and tremendous effort from all the boys, any attack from the visitors was stopped by rock solid defence of Jordy, Jamie, Andrew and Vinny. In a rare mix up in our area Halstead equalised but we continued to press hard and were awarded and penalty which Kaz rifled into the top right hand corner. The last ten minutes saw both teams create chances with Max coming closest to scoring . But with the very last kick of the game Halsted scored to take the game to extra time. Another mistake in our area led to Halsted scoring to take the lead, and then while we pushed for the equalizer they added a fourth .Although pressing hard we could not convert our chances and were unlucky to go out of the cup at this stage. It was a great team performance  and some great  individual  performances today it was nice to see the boys passing with confidence and can't wait until our next game, well done.

Sat 16th January
Thanks to all the boys  for turning up at the beach for training today its good to see so many there hope you all enjoyed  it as much as me!

As we have not played for a few weeks, and having a Christmas / New Year break, we thought perhaps a good time for a halftime report. Firstly a massive thank you to Steve and Albert for all their help behind the scenes, myself and Sibbs could not have done this without you, to Jim and Clive for the help at training, 3 people at training is a perfect number. The biggest thanks is to Clive for running the line - this is the hardest and worst job at any football club and without Clive it would make my job as coach so much harder.
Finally to the parents for getting the boys to training and the matches and for all the encouragement you give to the boys, I played football from an early age and believe me the more praise and encouragement the boys get, the more confident they will become and the better they will perform. A great example of this was against Tempest in the cup; Albert and Clive were away so I ran the line and Dave took over the coaching.  We asked the parents to give as much support as possible on the sidelines and this really lifted the players. We won the game on penalties and it was my most enjoyable game of the season.

As for the season so far I think the best is still to come from the team, we have had some good performances (away at Brightlingsea being one of them) but I really think the second half of the season is when we will really start to play our football and get some great results. We can hopefully progress to the next round of the cup as well.
Training has been well attended and apart from about 4 sessions the boys have been working really hard. The more you put into training and the harder you work the fitter and better you will play on a Sunday, so keep giving 100% and I am sure we can move up a couple of places in the league this season
Our first football team outing of the year was to Walton Pier for bowling, Pirate Petes!, a bite to eat and even a bit of ice skating. The boys seemed to enjoy it and were all well behaved so we will look to do a few more before the season is out. The results of the bowling were: -
                 
Game one winners                                      Game two winners
 
lane one        Glen                                      lane one        Glen
lane two         Jamie and Kaz                     lane two         Andrew
lane three      Jordy                                      lane three      Jia
lane four        Josh                                       lane four        Dom
 
Highest score           Josh    132
Fastest  ball               Big joe 16mph
Slowest ball              ------ o.9mph
 
That’s all for now, thanks for your support and have a Happy New Year!

Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 0 Halstead 0

Our third game of the season and we welcomed Halstead to a blustery Frinton on sea. Halstead started the first half with the wind behind them; it was a hard fought 35 minutes. The back four were fantastic with Jordy stopping anything in his path and using the ball well, Jamie swept up behind him and the two are really now starting to form a good solid partnership. Andrew (Mr. Dependable) again won everything he went for and once again never afraid to put his head in for the ball. Vinnie was solid and calm at the back and linked well with Josh down the right on several occasions. It was this route that took us up into Hallstead’s half.  Kaz was leading well as usual and played further up the pitch today, spreading the ball around well, which bought Jai into the game, and this is why Jai had his best game of the season. Joe was working well in the mid field and was constantly snapping away at the Halstead players making it hard for them to get into any kind of rhythm. We went into the break 0-0 and were very pleased with the performance.

The second half saw us dominate the game and restricted Halstead to only the occasional shot. One of which Jake (the cat) tipped round the post. The boys worked really hard, Ollie and George causing the defence all sorts of problems. Max was playing well down the right, wining lots of tackles and playing some great balls to the lively front two. We did get the ball into the net on one occasion by Kaz, but that was ruled offside. Jamie had a long range shot but the Halstead keeper was in fine form. Jai danced passed two defenders down the left and put a lovely through ball but once again the flag was raised. Ben came on down the left and won his tackles and played some neat little passes to Kaz and George but no matter how hard we tried it wasn't to be and we had to settle for a 0-0 draw.
  It was a good performance today, which started with a good training session on Saturday and a good warm up before the match. All we ask for form the players is a good team sprit and a 100% effort in training and this weekend we got that. So well done Boys, roll on next weekend.

Boxford 4 Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 3

Another away game, this time we travelled to Boxford, it was a really sticky pitch and I'm sure it contributed to the fact that we didn't play the kind of football we know that we are capable of. It was a strange game, which neither side dominated, but both sides having chances. Ollie opened the scoring for us, but Boxford soon cancelled this out. Then Boxford took the lead. George levelled the scores, and we went into half time at 2-2.

The second half, saw us play a bit better, but Boxford went ahead again. Once again Ollie equalised and at this point I thought we would go on to win the game, but it was not to be when Boxford scored the winner with four minutes to go.

It was not out best performance but we still have plenty of games and points to be won and with plenty of hard work in training it won't be long before we see ourselves climbing up the table.

Tempest U13 3 Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 3 a.e.t. (Frinton win 5-4 on penalties)
It was a really narrow pitch at Wivenhoe, which took the boys a little time to get used to. Tempest took the lead, but we were playing some of the best football we have played all season. A goalmouth scramble saw Max kick the ball over his head and into the net, to level the score. We continued to play really well with Jamie, Josh and George, linking up well down the right. Joe was working hard in the centre midfield. Jordy and Kaz were strong at the back, restricting the opposition to long range efforts on goal. It was one of these shots that put tempest back in the lead. We continued to play good football and were rewarded when George scored to make in 2-2. Once again Tempest scored but we kept our heads up and well-deserved equalizer from the hard working Jai took the game to extra time. Andrew and Ben linked well down our left side, and sent George through on several occasions. Although both sides went close to scoring in extra time, the game had to be decided on penalties. Great penalties from Kaz, George, Jamie, Josh and Joe and brilliant save from Jake (the cat) secured a great victory.

Frinton U13 Reds 3  Boadicea Dynamos U13 2
Despite the weather conditions both managers and referee were keen to see the game go  ahead .Because of the wind and rain both sides struggled to play good football and it took at least 10 minutes for us to get into our stride. Ollie scored our first goal and although we were in control of the game we couldn’t add to our lead .

The second half we started well and Max ran onto a through ball to make it 2. George once again popped up to get the 3rd goal it seemed from this point we would go on to win by 5/6 goals but the opposition scored to make it 3-1 then we all went to sleep at a free kick and the ball ended up in the net at 3-2 the game seemed to go from end to end and we were all quite relieved to here the final whistle go. A hard game in difficult conditions but a well deserved 3 points to push us up the league table, well done all the boys some great individual performances. Also a big thanks to all the parents for braving the weather.

Brightlingsea Regents  U13 3 Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 2
We travelled to league leaders Brightlingsea for another tough match,
it was a great day for football played on a superb pitch. We started brightly and both sides were playing some great football. A long ball into Brightlingsea’s half from Dom saw their keeper rush out and clear. George picked the ball up just inside their half and shot straight for goal, excellent vision and awareness from the inform George. We went into the break a well-deserved 1- 0 up.

The 2nd half saw us carry on exactly how we started the game and some good work from Jo and Jai released Ollie who burst through the defence only to be brought down. The resulting free kick saw Josh smash the ball against the bar and into the net making it 2-0. The back 4 of Vinny, Jamie, Jordy, and Andrew looked really solid and nothing was getting past them, in fact it took a rather harsh penalty decision against us and the resulting kick got them back into the game. From then on it was backs against the wall and another goal from Brightlingsea knocked us for six. We did manage a few attacks and although we defended brilliantly we conceded a late goal  and ended up losing 3-2.Overall a great performance from the boys and hopefully a sign of things to come.

Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 2 Colchester Athletic U13 Reds 1

Today’s opponents were second place Colchester Athletic Reds, our biggest challenge yet this season. We had the upper hand in the first half, looking strong advancing from the right - a well timed lob from Vinny set Josh loose to half volley an unstoppable goal. More great movement, this time Olly sends George free to convert. 2-0 at half time.

We lacked the same commitment in the second half and Colchester took full advantage to get one back. This goal was enough to wake us up and the defence got back in stride to gain control again. Also well done to the subs - they have all been performing well this season.

 Cornard Dynamos U13 0 Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 4 (League Cup 1^st Round)
This cup match saw us travel to Cornard for another away game, it was a great game for us, spending most of the game in the oppositions half. We played some lovely football with George and Vinny linking up well down the right. We finished the game 4-0 winners and really should have added a few more to the score sheet. The goal scorers were George 2  Little Joe 1 and Kaz from the penalty spot. Great performance from all the boys.

Bures United U13 1   Frinton & Walton U13 Reds 2
We got off to a flying start when Ollie gave us an early lead, we continued to play some good football but against the run of play Bures levelled the score. Almost immediately Ollie latched on to a through ball, beat 2 defenders and chipped the goalie for a great solo effort. Now back in front we pushed hard for the 3rd goal but went into the break only 2-1 up.

The second half saw us pegged in our own half mainly due to the longest throw I have ever seen in boy’s football but the whole team defended superbly and we came away with our first 3 points of the season.

Halstead Town U13 Reds 2   Frinton & Walton U13 Reds1

First game of the season saw us travel to Halstead, we quickly got into our game and dominated the first half, but we couldn’t find the back of the net. The second half saw us concede 2 quick goals and we lost our shape and confidence. A great goal from Kaz seemed to bring us back to life, Joe gay broke the through defence and went close, but although we piled on the pressure we just could not create any clear cut chances and when Josh rattled the crossbar from 20 yards it was clear it wasn’t going to be our day.

Pre Season Friendly Tournament - Clacton Football Club 
A great day for the reds we played 5 games, 3 against A league opposition and 2 against B league teams. We won our first match, lost 3 by the odd goal and drew the last game. We played really well all day and with a bit more luck in front of goal we could have won at least one more, and drawn one, but a great start to the season.
