The Scorpions

Hey footie fans, here we are again! The end of another fantastic season, at the best youth club in the UK! Let’s take a brief moment to reflect on a great season and take the time to congratulate each other on a job well done.

As always the team at Edmonton Rangers Youth FC have been incredible. We are lucky to have people with big hearts and a passion for good football. Time and time again the generosity of every single member of the club has been a lesson to us all.

I would also like to thank the parents, who week in, week out, come rain shine or snow (sometimes all in one day), support the players, the club and each other.

Some outstanding achievements are worthy of note this season:

  1. We have finally plugged the hole with teams at each age group.

  2. Our younger teams are growing weekly with lots of interest and new players - this bodes well for the future. Who knows their might be a young Messi among them

  3. The Scorpions won their first ever tournament (joint first on points but ahead on goal difference) Well done to Amanda, Ali, Bo, Brian and all the players and parents

  4. The Dragon’s, Cobra’s and Owls have all had an exceptional seasons. Closely followed by the rest of the teams at the club.

  5. As always there are the rock solid, reliable individuals that simply make the club work from Managers to coaches. to the Exec. I would like to thank Margaret, Frank, Keith, Richard, Roger, James, Tony, Caroline, Sean, Amanda, Dave, Michael L, Michael C and last but not least Wayne

  6. We have been selected for another project with VIY and Sport England! Awesome work team!

  7. On a personal note thank you to Teddy and the Sharks for an incredible season and to Brian for all the burgers!

All in all a great afternoon of footie fun. If you want to learn more about Kith & Kids link just here

Edmonton Rangers Youth Football Club Presentation Day 2016/17 Season

The sun shone brightly on our corner of the football world this weekend. As parents and players alike gathered to celebrate their teams victories and reflect on their defeats, across a great season.

As the kids played footie, chomped on burgers and chatted with team mates, Margaret and the team managers laid out the trophies and awards 

Our very own superstar Ash had the tunes blasting out all day long, while the crowds gathered, and consumed vast amounts of BBQ. 

As the teams lined up in age order the coaches, managers and parents cheered and clapped as the awards and trophies were handed out.  

The final event of the day was looming, Parents v Coaches! Who would win this battle of giants? The tensions were high. This North London derby had players loyalties pulled in two directions, would they support their parents? Or would their loyalties to club and badge have them supporting their managers? As I stepped into goal for the first half, my heart in mouth not wanting to let my team mates down or indeed my lads The U12s Sharks! 

The sun was blisteringly hot, the tension more so! As if in slow motion the ref raised his whistle and blew, the first half had started and we were off.

The instructions I had barked out at the kids all season started to flood my mind, don't do that, do this, look for the opportunity... 

The first half saw the coaches dominate moving the ball around well with only a few attempts at goal. Thankfully Uggs and Sean performing their roles in mid-field and defence like spartan warriors. Garth like a true sportsman had lent his boots to another player and played on in his trainers! Sukie, Ash and Richard making great runs but were just not able to finish with a goal. 

As the sun beat down the coaches started to show signs of fatigue and the parents had their first attempt at goal, I dove and batted the ball out and quickly scrambled to my feet to dive onto the ball. Mercifully the ref blew the whistle the end of the first half. A clean sheet for both teams. 

The 2nd half saw the parents come out fighting, spurred on by the kids. Dennis had stepped in to cover the goalkeeping duties for the Managers team. Thankfully he did I am not sure I would have been able to make the great saves he did.  

Ash made several great runs, twisting and turning around the opposition, showing some amazing ball skills. But even he could not break the deadlock. 

Time and again both teams pushed hard on the break only to find the back 3 acting in unison and stopping any attack. 

The final whistle blew - penalties... Could this game get any more tense? 

Both keepers made incredible saves! After 5 penalties were taken the score was 3 - 3! Sudden death! 

Despite an amazing dive, the parents had done it. 

What a game, what a day, they think it's all over, well it is now......
