26th April 2026 - Cup wins and positives across the board! Another brilliant week across the club as our young Stags continued to show fantastic effort, development and togetherness across all age groups. From our youngest sides finding their confidence to our older teams competing at a high level, it’s great to see the progress being made week by week. 🔵⚫
Little Arthur was on fire in our U6s this weekend, earning Player of the Week for a brilliantly fun, energetic display. Smiles, tackles, goals… everything you want at this age. ⚽️💙🖤
A brilliant comeback away at Blackmore after falling behind. Max put in a Man of the Match performance, showing quality and determination, and Freddie grabbed a crucial equaliser to cap a gutsy effort. 💪🔵⚫️
The U7 Whites returned after the break with an improved performance against Billericay Blues. The group showed real progress, growing into the game and putting together some positive attacking play. Another step forward as they continue their development.
U7 BLUES The U7 Blues put in an outstanding performance against PCE Youth in the Festival Cup, a team who won all 4 group stage games. The boys were dominant from start to finish and stood up to a very physically imposing U7 team.
Strong attacking play and excellent defending helped us build a deserved 3–1 lead, which we held at 3–2 until the final moments. Some lapses in concentration and yet another very questionable and late penalty award for PCE Youth, allowing them to equalise. Straight into pens and 4-5 up we missed the winning spotkick, to draw 4-4 then lost in sudden death, 5-4.
It was a harsh outcome for the Blues, a team that had clearly been the stronger side from start to finish and fully deserved the victory. However, this match serves as an important lesson — sometimes the result doesn’t reflect the performance.
Despite the result, it was a fantastic team performance and a clear sign of how much the boys have improved in their debut season. Plenty of positives to take — and with another match against PCE Youth coming up in the Buckhurst Hill tournament, the Blues will be eager to bounce back and enact their revenge!
A tough morning for the Whites, who are still finding their feet in a division that doesn’t quite suit them. Plenty of hard work, plenty of heart, and once the group settles into their correct level, they’ll absolutely flourish. ⚫🔵⚫🔵
After a long trip to Colchester and a challenging first half, the girls showed unbelievable character. Trailing at the break, they came out fighting, dominated the second period and turned the match completely on its head. 🚌🔥🖤
Not their most fluent performance, but still strong enough to get the job done at home. Zach Louw stole the show with all four goals. A lively and confident display. ⚽🔥💙
U9 ROYALS Quarter Final ✅
U9 Royals march through to the semi final with a 2-0 win vs Billericay.
Top effort and performances from all the boys with goals coming from our keeper (yes goal keeper) and another absolute worldie from Teddy.P ⚫️🔵
No game this weekend as the fixture was called off — which obviously means we’re claiming the win. Sometimes football gives you those small victories!
U9 BLACKSU9 Blacks much better today and back to winning ways taking it 5-1 at home to FC Redwing U10 Girls
A competitive outing for the U10 Blues, who showed great character throughout. There were some excellent moments of quality, strong performances in midfield, and well-taken finishes that reflected the team’s continued development.
U10 LIONESSES The u10 lionesses won at home today against Harold Wood Cougars with a good performance. Proud of the way the girls are passing the ball around and playing as a team!
A sensational performance from the in-form Tigresses against strong opposition. The game was competitive early on, but the girls stepped up another level in the second half, dominating possession and territory. A fantastic collective effort, capped by a standout Player of the Match display in goal.
U11 BluesWhat a performance from the U11 Blues! 💙⚫️
After going 2–0 down in the first 6 minutes, the team showed incredible resilience to turn it around and secure a thrilling 6–5 victory — booking their place in the semi-finals! 🏆⚽️
A match full of drama, determination, and brilliant, clean passing football from the Blues. The players kept their composure despite some tough challenges and let their football do the talking.
So proud of every single player — what a team effort! 💪🔵⚫️
U11 BLACKSU11 Blacks won a home fixture at Debden in a one sided game 4-0 against Great Danes U11 Panthers. Could have many more.
U11 WHITESU11 Whites had a friendly this morning away to Epping Town’s top Echo team. Very steep pitch, was like doing hill runs for 30 mins 😅.. we went 2 down (a pen and screamer) to then come back and win 4-2 with one of our performances of the season. 4 outstanding goals scored. But my favourite part of the morning was definitely the celebration… 🙈😂
U11 LIONESSESU11 Lionesses lost in the league vase semi-final to Linford Wanderers U11 boys. Although they’re in the division above us we were by far the better footballing side. They relied on long balls and long-range powerful shots while the girls passed the ball around brilliantly, but just couldn’t take the chances. We were gutted to have no subs due to illness and not to be able to give it our best shot as a result. The girls deserved a final to look forward to after a strong season, but I’m sure there will be plenty more opportunities for this talented bunch 🫶
A strong showing from the U12 Lionesses in a challenging fixture. Despite adversity and key moments not going their way, the girls played some excellent football and showed real determination throughout.
U12 TIGRESSESU12 Tigresses battled so well for a 0-0 draw vs a very strong Elite Colts who play a division above us. We were dominated on possession and territory but kept switched on and kept them at arms length, restricting them to a few long range shots only. Different type of performance from us but one I was pleased to see
U13 LIONESSESU13 Lionesses won their last game against Byron Red Stars (who we had our worst defeat to earlier in season 5-1) to secure a second place finish in league, one point behind the winners. Easily our best performance of an already good season, so coaches, players, and parents all very happy on final day.
Under 13 blues drew both games in a double header away against top of the table Ongar, could have had more but the boys were fantastic, last minute equaliser in the 2nd game was a brilliant moment, a brilliant mornings work really proud of the boys
U13 ROYALSU13 Royals completed our league games today at home against May and Baker with a 2-2 draw. Good learning curve in our first season in EJA…..preparing for next season now !
U14 BLUES U14 Blues had two games this week. On Thursday we beat Sungate Youth 3-1 who are near the top of Brentwood Division 2. Today we played Ridgeway and beat them 1-0 securing 4th spot in the league. 2 great all round performances.
U14 BLACKS – Lawnmower breakdown?U14 Blacks won away at Upminster 1-0. Shin length grass made it one to forget, but they ground it out.
A 5–2 home win for the U15 Blacks against Cobra. A fast start set the tone, and while the second half tested the group, resilience and key moments proved decisive. A great result after the long break.
U15 LIONESSESU15 Lionesses lost a tight game against the County Cup Champions & league favourites 1-0.
We have them again in the League Cup Final next Sunday
U16s
Last game of the season for the u16s 4-2 win against hashtag, they ended the season on a high with the win. An emotional day as I hang up the role, last game for me in the dug outs. Super proud of them all. It’s been a journey, so many memories and friendships for life, a community that has given me so much support. I wish them all the best and just hope they keep playing. ⚽️💙
After injuries, illness and back-to-back fixtures, the message was clear — finish the year strongly. The response was emphatic, with goals flowing and the team delivering exactly what was asked of them.
U18 LIONESSESU18 Lionesses won 4-0 at home, which means their points total can only be equalled by Hackney Wick. If that does happen, the league will be decided by a playoff game.
U15 Lionesses lost 2-4 to Barking, in a very open game, to end their chances of the league title this season
U18 EJA BLACKS – Semi Final awaits!After a good week of Training plus the important Friendly last Sunday v Bowers,the Players produced a professional & comfortable County Cup victory against our EJA counterparts Chelmsford City.
The 3 Goals by Henry Denis & Beau were straight of the Training Field showing the importance of attending sessions.
A tough assignment in Concorde FC U18s await in the Semi Final.
Well done to the whole Squad-great attitude all round 👍🏆⚽️💯
Sad to see so many games called off again due to the weather, sadly this time of year is the same story.
Well done to those who played and lets look forward to a drier week ahead!
Up the Stags.
