Maidenhead Boys & Girls U13’s Jaguars roared to victory at home versus AFC Reading Red Arrows, with an incredible all-round performance from the team.
The Jaguars took control of the game early on, with two quick fire goals from forward Andrew Lee providing the perfect start. Maidenhead continued to dominate the first half, with Harrison Gilmour adding two more goals before the break. Jaguars continued to threaten throughout the second half, with further goals added from David Yakubovich, Oliver Unger and one more from Harrison to complete his hattrick, and ultimately securing a magnificent 7-0 victory for the home side.
Speaking after the match captain Krish Patel acclaimed the team performance, stating “I was really happy with our performance today. It was definitely our best game of the season. Everyone played very well, and we scored amazing goals and I was really happy we kept a clean sheet”.
Harry Brown was celebrated as player of the game for a high effort performance in the wing back position, working incredibly hard in defence and attack and carrying out coach Motti’s game plan perfectly.
U15 Vipers EBFA Div 8 of 8 – Lost 1-3 away to Winnersh Rangers Avengers – played with 7 Maidenhead players v 10. David Carrillo Chavarria scored.
For this game Maidenhead were down to 7 players out of a squad of 10 and 7 is the minimum number of players to go ahead with an 11aside game in EBFA. Ordinarily we would have conceded the game under these circumstances but the Vipers played this team 2 weeks earlier with 9 players v 11 and won 4-1. We arranged with the opposition the night before that if he had 11 players he would play 10 against us and if he had 10 players he would play 9 against us. Unluckily for us he had 11 so it was 7 v 10.
The team was Thomas Crane in goal, David Carrillo Chavarria left back, Dayo Akinjobi central defender, Cameron Tahir-Khaliq right back with Lucas Pieltain on the left, Slavko Bozhinov on the right and Sebi Lievano in the middle/up front.

Sebi diving save. 13.47 Conceded 1-3 when their player kicked ball from beween Sebi’s hands, injuring Sebi’s hand in the process. Sebi cleared.
I chose Man of the Match to be Dayo Akinjobi for the 2nd week running from the 2 games I have attended as he is absolutely brilliant in defence. I was very proud though of all the players for turning up to this game and playing their hearts out when so severely outnumbered and it turned out to be a hot day too which really worked against us. We had some very good chances to score and were unlucky that their last goal in particular was allowed. Well done to our Magnificent Seven for drawing the first half.
U14 Panthers EBFA Div 5 of 8 – Won 6-3 away to Woodley United Mohawks
Report from Manager Roland McGill:
A well deserved 6-3 win against a decent Woodley side. A solid debut from Harvey Goldsworthy in central midfield and two debut goals from Ollie Webb – both from outside the box. Well done both. Other scorers were Rowan Sellman, Harry James and two from Senna Anagho. Assists from Harry James, Harvey Goldsworthy and Harry McGill (sorry if I missed anyone off).
Second half performance was particularly pleasing with lots of good football played. We kept the ball on the ground against the wind and created a hatful of chances. Heads didn’t go down even when Woodley got back to 3-3 against the run of play.
Lots of good performances out there but man of the match was Alex Antonas who had his best game for us at right back. Thanks to Harry Willett and Eesa Sharif for stepping up and playing in goal. Well done boys.
A great weekend for the U13’s boys teams with both Dragons and Jaguars securing excellent home wins at Altwood.
U13’s Dragons faced Darby Green and Potley Youth at home. It was a quiet start to the game until a good passage of play created an opportunity for Gabe Nicholson to curl home the opener from the left wing. An injury to one of our defenders meant Darby Green responded with two well worked goals and led 2-1 at half time, and continued to apply pressure after the break. The Dragons switched from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2 to limit Darby’s midfield control, which swung the momentum back to the Dragons, who now launched multiple attacks. With three more goals from Gabe Nicholson and an excellent header by Malachai Randolph from a perfect Stanley Wilcockson corner.
A few words from man of the match Brett, who responded well and kept our deference strong following the early substitution of Jay Harvey.
“We started the game off strong with a few early chances our first goal come from a beautiful pass from Noah into Gab who smartly knew the keeper was off his line. Gabe chipped the keeper to make it 1-0 to the dragons.
From this we got a bit carried away and let the opposition get more possession of the ball and before we knew it we were 2-1 down with the half time approaching.
With a brilliant team talk at half time from our coaches we all got pumped up and realised we were still in this game we just had to put a few things right and to dig deep and give 100% which is exactly what the dragons did!!!”
Final score 5-2 to the dragons, who maintain their 100% record!
The wins continued as the 13’s Jaguars took to the field against Caversham AFC Dragons. The match started well with early pressure from Maidenhead, but the visitors scored first with a well worked goal. Jaguars responded immediately thanks to a brilliant passing move started in midfield by David Yakubovich and finished neatly by Harrison Gilmour.
The match was competitive throughout, but Jaguars continued to apply pressure through fast attacking play, and a robust defence limiting Caversham’s shooting opportunities.
Jaguars went on to secure a 4-1 home victory, Harrison netting twice, a well-deserved goal from man of the match Andrew Lee, and a coolly finished fourth from Dexter Mitchell in the final moments.

Boys voted Spencer Rigg-Hersom Man of the Match.
It was good to get the win, especially from a losing position, to maintain our 5th place in the table but we really should have done it more convincingly. However, it was only our 2nd match since 18Dec so boys not as match fit as they had been prior to Christmas.
U14 Panthers EBFA Div 5 of 8 – Drew 2-2 away to AFC Whitchurch
Match Report from Manager Roland McGill:
2-2 today. A great 2nd half fightback from 2-0 down. Goals from Rowan Sellman and Harry McGill, assists from Senna Anagho and Harry James respectively. Ollie Myall was solid in defence but when Harry McGill pushed up, Ollie didn’t put a foot wrong and superbly controlled the back line – a well earned man of the match. Well done Ollie.
Really positive from today boys. Great to see that comeback and we sooo nearly sneaked it. I’m still having visions of Harry Willett’s shot dipping in – so close. Next time Harry.
