Round-Up. November 6th/7th.

Girls:

Coundon Court U10’s 4-0 Solihull Borough U10’s

The Under 10’s followed up last week’s thumping victory over Leafield, with a comfortable win over Solihull Borough on Saturday. Lia set Coundon on their way as she struck twice, to take her tally up to an astonishing 18 goals in just six matches this season. Emily thumped in a long-range effort, and Ella completed the rout with a cool finish after intercepting a weak goal kick, to wrap up their fourth victory of the season.

Coundon Court U11’s 1-0 Sutton Strikes U11’s

A single strike from Hannah S. was enough to give the Under 11’s their third consecutive victory and their first at home all season. Hannah’s goal – her fourth in the last three games – also meant that the girls hadn’t conceded since the defeat to Knowle over a month ago.

Coundon Court U12’s 3-1 Starland St. Anne’s

Three late goals were enough to give the Under 12’s a superb victory over a battling Starland St. Anne’s. After being on the receiving end of a 4-2 defeat to the Streetly-based club a fortnight ago, revenge was on their mind, but they didn’t make the greatest start by conceding in the first-half. After Natalie had made an excellent save from the penalty spot, the tides changed as Jess struck a superb free-kick to level matters late on, before Mya headed the hosts into a priceless lead. Sophie wrapped up the game with a third goal in the dying moments.

Bilbrook Ladies U13’s 1-2 Coundon Court U13’s

Arguably the result of the weekend saw the U13’s snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, as two very late goals overcame Bilbrook Ladies. Despite being thumped 11-1 back in September, the result didn’t deter the girls who put in a tremendous performance all match, yet trailed to a solitary goal from the hosts. Milly equalised with just three minutes remaining and with the clock ticking away, Cerys fired home to snatch all three points. Her 12^th goal of the season, whilst still maintaining the superb feat of scoring in all seven games this campaign.

Coundon Court U14’s 4-3 Sporting Club Albion U14’s

The Under 14’s are now unbeaten in eight games, after coming from behind to brilliantly defeat Sporting Club Albion by the odd goal. There was seemingly no repeat of the 2-1 victory a fortnight ago, as Coundon trailed 3-1 at the break, courtesy of some sloppy defensive play. Leigh – scorer of Coundon’s opener – teed up Danielle to pull a goal back at the start of the second half, and then equalised herself with 15 minutes remaining. Danielle netted her second of the morning – and fifth of the season – to dramatically clinch all three points with just a few minutes left on the clock.

Wyrley Juniors U15’s 2-0 Coundon Court U15’s

For the second time this season, the Under 15’s were defeated by Wyrley. Two first-half goals were enough to ensure victory, and the girls will hope to get back to winning ways against Belvedere next week.

Boys:

Coventry Jaguar Youth U9’s 0-4 Coundon Court U9’s

The Under 9’s followed up last week’s drubbing of Chapelfield Colts with another 4-0 victory, this time over Coventry Jaguar Youth. Despite dominating the first-half, it took until the start of the second half to make their pressure pay off. Brook struck a free-kick, then added another just seconds later to put the visitors in control. Kyle and man of the match Ben, added further strikes to wrap up a comfortable victory. The Under 9’s are in cup action next week, as they travel to take on Binley Woods.  

Whitley Juniors U11’s 2-9 Coundon Court U11’s

Following defeat in the Nursing Cup to Southam in their last match, the Under 11’s hit back in destructive style by hammering Whitley Juniors 9-2. Matthew was the big scorer, netting five goals – he now has 80 for the club - whilst Jordan chipped in with two, further strikes by Cain and man of the match Owen, compounded the hosts to a miserable defeat.  The Under 11’s are also involved in the cup next Sunday, as they play host to Leamington Hibs.

Coundon Court U12’s 1-6 Kenilworth Wardens U12’s

Coundon Court were defeated by high-flying Kenilworth Wardens on Sunday. Wardens - who had conceded just five goals in six league games prior to the match - lead 2-0 at half-time. Despite pressure by Coundon, they couldn’t break the visitors down and they netted three more in the second half. Daniel pulled a goal back to take his tally to a remarkable 19 goals in nine league games this season, but Kenilworth had the final say by scoring a sixth late on.

Coundon Court U14’s 2-2 Rugby Town U14’s

The Under 14’s showed tremendous fight and spirit to come from behind to grab a point at home to Rugby Town. Despite managing to field only ten players, Coundon were superb in the first-half and were twice unlucky to concede. Sam followed up Tom’s shot to pull a goal back, before Theo set up Tom to equalise with just over ten minutes remaining, his sixth goal in just four games. The visitors hit the post and forced Damon into a series of excellent saves late on, but Coundon clung on for a superb point. The Under 14’s are back in action when they take on Alvis Colts in a friendly next Sunday.
