U11's Report: 12th May 2012 U11's 12th May 2012

The under 11's had their final games of the season at Soham on the 12th May. The first game of the day was against Grimsby. Kings Lynn took a 2 goal lead with both goals scored by Ethan. Grimsby managed to pull one goal back before half time to set up an exciting second half! Ethan added one more goal but Grimsby came back strong scoring 2 more goals before the end, leaving the final score 3 - 3.

The second game we was up against Peterborough. With both sides evenly matched, our defence stayed solid as did Peterboroughs. At half time it was still 0 - 0. Kings Lynn tried really hard to break down their apponents to no avail. It looked like we was going to get another draw, only for Peterborough to snatch a late goal. Leaving final score 0 - 1.

Our third and final game of the day was against Cambridge. Who raced into a 4 - 0 lead by half time. Our young team tried really hard to get back into the game, with a goal from Ryan, but Cambridge were just to strong on the day adding another 3 goals. The final score was 1 - 7.

Overall all team members gave 100% as always and player of the day goes to Ethan Shread.

The Team: Joshua Roberts (GK), Finley Griffin (C), Jason Gay, Ryan Howlett, Ethan Shread, Joseph Hawes, Ria Griffin (R), Keaton Vincent (R)

On Saturday 21st April our under 11's team played at Ross Peers Sports Centre.

U11's 21st April 2012 Our first game was against Herne Bay United.
This was always going to be a tough game as Herne Bay United are unbeaten and on top of the league.

“ Kings Lynn's defence stayed solid ”
Kings Lynn started really well in the first half, taking a one goal lead (scored by Ethan). We took that lead into half time, thanks to some fantastic goalkeeping from Joshua, however Herne Bay United came out strong in the second half and their experience showed as they scored 8 goals. [+..]

The second half saw substitutes Rees Parfitt, Sam Carroll and Nathan Greeves on the rink but with only one goal from Nathan, Lynn's lead slipped away as Colchester scored two goals near the end of the match making the final score 5 - 7.

Schoolboys Report 24th March

On Saturday 24th March, King's Lynn Schoolboys A Team had their fourth tournament of the season at Lynnsport, King's Lynn hosted by the newly joined Herne Bay team. The first game was a low-key affair playing the hosts, Herne Bay. However, the game became another comfortable win for Kings Lynn.

The second game was much more of a challenging one against our old rivals Norwich. Slowly King's Lynn forged ahead and even against some very questionable referee's decisions, still managed a comfortable win. At one point during the game Lynn were down to just two men!

Lastly King's Lynn played the Ely team. King's Lynn simply played a heavily possessive game and forced the openings to score their goals. Once again another straight-forward victory!

15 Game Win Streak!

The Senior A Team secure a place in the KO Cup final, extending their unbeaten streak to 15 games.

The King's Lynn Senior A Team went into the KO Cup qualifiers on the back of a 12 game unbeaten streak, which saw them score 18 and concede 0 at their last tournament. Senior A team The King's Lynn Senior A Team went into the KO Cup qualifiers on the back of a 12 game unbeaten streak, which saw them score 18 and concede 0 at their last tournament. The first match of the KO Cup qualifying campaign was against an Ely team that King's Lynn had not played this season. The game started off slowly but Lynn soon took a grip on the game, controlling possession and converting some slick counter attacks to take an 8-1 win at the final whistle.
“ Lynn were able to soak up the pressure ”

The second game of the day was against a Letchworth side who found themselves without a goalkeeper, which meant one of their outfield players donned the goalkeepers kit and played in goal for the match. [+..]

Another Good Effort
King's Lynn B Schoolboys Team were in action at Cottenham's home tournament

The first game was against Invicta and Lynn started strongly, creating plenty of chances and hit the crossbar and post, before succumbing to an Invicta goal before half time. Schoolboys B In the second half Lynn B were certainly not helped by some dubious refereeing decisions including a good penalty shout. However Lynn B continued to battle and were kept in the game by Megan who was making some good stops when Invicta did break through. When it looked as though it was not going to be our day, Dan Howlett scored with under a minute to go to enable the team to gain a well deserved point.

“ Lynn B were not helped by some dubious refereeing decisions ”
Norwich were next and they had already impressed in a tight game against Cottenham. Starting well, Lynn were unlucky to go behind to a goal that had come off the Norwich player's skate. Putting this disappointment behind them, the team gradually imposed themselves on the game and took a 3-1 lead into half-time. [+..]

A Great Team Effort - Schoolboys B 19th November 2011
The Schoolboys B were in action at Lynnsport, at the King's Lynn A home tournament. Schoolboys B 19112011
The B team's first match was against the King's Lynn A Team, who were unbeaten last season and had already started well this season.

The Lynn B team started strongly and held the A team for a full 5 minutes before finally conceeding a goal. Once the initial breach had been made the Lynn B team were then under pressure as Lynn A now had their tails up after being frustrated for so long. Although Lynn B played well, the A team proved to be too strong and rolled out easy winners at 13-2.

Schoolboys A - 19th November 2011

Schoolboys A 19112011 Kings Lynn Schoolboys A team had their home tournament of the season at Lynnsport on Saturday 19th November. As they were the home team four games were played against Bury, King’s Lynn Schoolboys B and two new-comers from the south Herne Bay and Invicta.

The first game against King’s Lynn B was almost like Friday night training. However, Lynn B were not in the mood to make it easy for Lynn A and they put up a strong fight. Despite determined play by the B team goalie Megan, Lynn A gained their first victory.

Game two against Invicta started slightly subdued until the A team began to work-out their opponents style of play, which was different to the last tournament. Good solid possessive play won through and the second-half of the game saw them confidently forge ahead to a second victory.

Match Report - 30th October 2011

Schoolboys A King's Lynn Schoolboys A Team had their first tournament of the season at Soham hosted by the newly joined Invicta team. The first game was a low-key affair playing a depleted Ely team. Without their regular goalkeeper and any reserves it is fair to say that Ely put-up little resistance to King's Lynn and at one point the game was played with three players on each team.

The second game was much more of a challenging one against our old rivals Cottenham.Slowly King's Lynn forged ahead and even against some very questionable referee's decisions , still managed a comfortable win.
“ Lynn forged ahead and even against some very questionable referee decisions ”

Lastly Kings Lynn played the home team Invicta. This game proved to be unexciting as Invicta played a 'box' style game which limited any sparkling play from either team. King's Lynn simply played a heavily possessive game and forced the openings to score their goals.Invicta gained a penalty through Lynn's frustration but it was saved brilliantly by Kasia towards the end of the game.

Although none of the games were fullfilling it was a good points start to the season.
Match Report - 29th October 2011

This was the second outing of the season for the team, this time at Cambridge Regional College.

Inters A 2011 First game of the day was against tournament hosts Cottenham. The first half saw Lynn dominate from the start with good combination passing and the opposition resorting to long shots which were successfully saved by the keeper therefore going into half time 4-0 leaders. The second half saw more of the same with Lynn using Cottenham's less than accurate passing to their advantage resulting in all five outfield players scoring in this game to finish with a 9-0 win.

Second game of the day was against Norwich A. This was a hard and fast game showing the other teams how a game at this level could be played. The smaller rink suiting Norwich's playing style, Lynn kept applying the pressure and were rewarded with two well crafted goals before half time. The second half saw more in front of goal chances but couldn't make it into the back of the net, with Norwich getting a goal back saw Lynn having to settle for a 2-1 win, this was without doubt the best game of the season so far.
“ Lynn took the lead in 18 seconds, this being the fastest goal of the day ”


Third game of the day was against Ely A and saw Lynn take the lead in 18 seconds, this being the fastest goal of the day. This was an unremarkable game with Lynn taking control fully after this and never being troubled again coming out 10-2 winners.

The final game of the day was against newcomers Invicta from Kent. An uneventful first half saw us 4-0 in front, more of the same for the second half with Lynn coming out 11-0 winners with all five outfield players scoring and the keeper having another clean sheet.
U11's Match Report - 8th October 2011

The U11’s first tournament of the season was played at our home venue of Lynnsport.

Our first game was against the more experienced Cambridge team. Although we conceded 6 goals, Kings Lynn managed to score 4 goals in reply.
“ A really good effort throughout the day from each and every player. ”


In our second game we played Peterborough (who finished runners up in the under 11’s last year). Again a very close game, with Kings Lynn defending well until Peterborough eventually run out 2 - 1 winners.

Third game was against Herne Bay United. This was a tough game for our young team. Herne Bay United went onto beat us 5 - 0. This game tested our defence and also tested our goalie Joshua Roberts. Herne bay United previously beat Cambridge 9 - 1, so the under 11’s held it together well! A good performance from the whole team.

Our last game we played Grimsby. This was always going to be a tough match, however under 11’s played with good fighting spirit. The end result was Kings Lynn 3 - 10 Grimsby.

A really good effort throughout the day from each and every player. It was a good experience for the whole team including the reserves: Ria Griffin (6) and Keaton Vincent (6) who experienced their first tournament. Well done Under 11’s!

The Team:
Joshua Roberts (GK), Finley Griffin, Jason Gay, Ryan Howlett, Ethan Shread, Joseph Hawes, Reserves Ria Griffin & Keaton Vincent
