Shanklin really pulled together as a team today, with Jake B injured it fell to Harrison and Sam M to be our stand in goalies for todays match and they both did an excellent job.
It was definitely a game of 2 halves today, Oakfield started strongly and some neat passing put them 1 up, Shanklin [...]

Oakfield U11 (2) v Shanklin U11 (2)
East Cowes U11 (0) v Shanklin U11 (3)
Another solid team performance from Shanklin and probably the quickest goal scored to date with Eden Pardey finding the back of the net about a minute after kick off. A great finish from Dalton Pike and a well taken penalty from Bayley Hayter gave Shanklin a 3 goal lead at half time.
Shanklin were rarely troubled [...]
Shanklin U11 (1) v Newport U11 (2)
Shanklin were unlucky not to get anything from this game, the lads all gave 100% and as a team were outstanding.
The match was very evenly contested, Newport opened the scoring midway through the first half but Shanklin kept the pressure up and Harrison Smith equalised just after half time. Shanklin were unlucky to concede later [...]
Rew Valley U11 (1) – Shanklin U11 (7)
Shanklin put in an excellent all round team performance today and were rewarded with 7 quality goals. The passing was fluent and they used the width well, the goals came from Sam Moseley(3), Chandler Builth, Harrison Smith, Edan Pardey and Reggie Matthews.
Some excellent finishing today and it would have been considerably more but Rew Valleys [...]
Shanklin U11 (5) v Seaview U11 (1)
Shanklin had to come from behind to beat Seaview after the visitors scored from a quick counter attack against the run of play. Sam Moseley levelled things up for Shanklin and goals from Harrison Smith and a penalty from Bayley Hayter increased the lead.
Shanklin played better football in the second half and as the passing [...]
Shanklin U11 (7) v Gurnard Saracens U11 (0)
A bit of a scrappy affair with plenty of missed chances is how best to sum up todays match! Bayley Hayter opened the scoring with a rare right footed strike, the football wasn’t great in the first half, the lads got drawn in and it was a bit hit and hope, although there were plenty [...]

The boys put on a very professional performance today and they all gave 100%. Harrison Smith opened the scoring with an unstoppable strike from just inside the box, this seemed to give the boys even more confidence the passing was fluent and they used the wings well, a neat finish from Sam Moseley meant that [...]

A game of missed chances is how best to sum up todays match, the boys secured a comfortable win over Rew Valley but with the amount of shots on goal and 90% of the possession the scoreline could, and should have been very different.
Ryan Flynn opened the scoring for Shanklin early in the game which [...]
Shanklin U11 (5) – West Wight U11 (0
In perfect conditions Shanklin started this match with some good early pressure, Bayley Hayter opened the scoring with a good strike from a corner. Both teams played some good football, Shanklin passed the ball well and closed players down quickly, well taken goals from Harrison Smith and Ryan Flynn mean’t Shanklin went into the half [...]

Playing on a full size pitch threw the lads in the 1st half of this match, instead of making use of the width and playing passing football they got drawn in and gave the ball away needlessly. Despite this they worked hard and had plenty of chances on goal and were unlucky not to take [...]
