Mainliners u16

Well done boys, unbeaten in the league again and superb all season 👊

2 disappointing games on the spin, Newburgh 3-2 defeat with 10 men, Noah MOTM. Claybrow 1-1 draw with 10 men. Less said about the ref the better, not good enough, must do better this week to stay in the top cup completion. No MOTM this week. Onto the next one 👊

Back to league action against Southport FC. We should have been 3 or 4 up at half time but finishing was off. Tried to play all game but the pitches are a joke. Winning 3-2, down to 10 men which sounds much closer than it was. Noah MOTM, covered every blade of grass 👊

Well beaten today by a very good @MSBWooltonU16s who took the game away from us first half. Missing key players made it an uphill task from the off. Much better second half but no complaints. Good luck in the next round. MOTM James D, everywhere in midfield 👊

Good start this morning v an improved Quarry Green. Going 3-0 but could and should have scored more. Second half there was only 1 team in it and we were pegged back 3-3. Tom with a great save last kick to save us from defeat. MOTM Ben who was everywhere in midfield 👊

No game today as we had another free week but got the news that we play @WooltonJuniorFC u16 in the Sunday County Cup Quarter Final on 15th Feb. Every game is tough at this stage. Looking forward to a good game 👊

Who took an early lead, we were missing key players again and playing on next to no sleep but 2nd half - superb, playing excellent football and turning it round to win 2-1. In truth we were unlucky not to make it more comfortable. MOTM Frankie, goal and assist. Superb. 1/4s next

My first game back since the new year, we lost v Santos in the league start of the year in a tight game, both teams missing key players and from what I’m told another game that could have gone either way. Today we played in the County Cup v a strong Forefield team 1/2

Decided to take the boys bowling instead of training for a pre- Christmas but of competitive fun. James Lane taking the winnings with a score of 126 and a voucher from the club. Merry Christmas everyone from Mainliners u16

Bad day at the office today v @Santosjfc14, took a terrible tackle to wake our lads up, but we couldn’t get our football going. Had more than enough chances to equalise second half but didn’t have our shooting boots on. 1-0 defeat. MOTM Max at the back, absolute rock 👊

Good game this morning against Northfield Black. Can’t fault our lads effort, application and attitude despite somehow being behind at half time. 10 min lull in the 2nd half took the game away, losing 6-2. Enjoyable to watch. Dom MOTM, didn’t put a foot wrong 👊

@PaulKirton_ @HightownJFL Because if it’s coaches you can’t have a coach of a 4 player squad? Just seems madness the whole thing to me.

@Mainliners_u16 @HightownJFL Next year's U7s playing 3v3 won't have refs.

These are kids, they deserve to play. Not even 1 minute of game time.

@PaulKirton_ @HightownJFL So parents refereeing? DBS checked? Safeguarding? How will this work!?

@PaulKirton_ @HightownJFL I really like your explanation of 9 v 9 and now you can have 3 games of 3v3. With there already being a referee shortage, where are you pulling out the additional referees for kids games? Let’s just say the additional need is double, there aren’t enough as is

@HightownJFL Overload. In all 3 examples all players okay with no subs standing.

We are Looking to Add to our little squad of under 8s. We are based in maghull north liverpool. but we play at Jeffrey Humble of a saturday in the @NLJFL Looking to add 1 or 2 to the squad. Message me direct for more info please. thanks. RT 👍🏼 Craig St. George’s JFC ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Great game this morning against a much improved @SAJFC20 Complete change in attitude for us first half especially, out the blocks with a 4-0 lead at half time. Fair play to Southport coming back into it second half 5-3 finish. MOTM Joel, excellent once again. 👊

Outworked, outplayed, outfought in every way today against Quarry Green. A day to forget. On the receiving end of a 4-0 defeat and it could have been more. MOTM Anesu, getting on it and trying to play. Improvement needed.

Bare bones and weather didn’t help. Unlucky with injuries so far this season. 12 there today 🤦‍♂️

I wasn’t there today but the boys couldn’t convert chances for most of the game, leaving it late to beat Claybrow 2-1 despite having chances galore. MOTM Joel, keeping the ball moving and creating all over the pitch 👊
