Rothwell Town 5 - 1 Guiseley

Murray in a Hurry to shoot down Guiseley

Town looked to make it three in a row against Guiseley and started brightly. Jacob Murray in goal hadn’t been near the ball when the first goal hit the back of the oppositions net. Arnie Dooner broke well through a
static defence before releasing to Sam Pears who calmly put the ball past the keeper. Sam Pears was again involved 2 minutes later with a wonderful defence splitting ball through to Sam Mulvaney but his shot was well stopped by the
keeper. Guiseley rarely threatened, and any attacks were quickly stopped by a tight defence. Rothwell continued to threaten and Sam Mulvaney was unlucky when an Arnie cross bobbled awkwardly as he was about to shoot. Arnie Dooner then won a corner which was delivered brilliantly by Kai. Sam Pears made a darting run
and met the ball squarely with his head and was unlucky to see the ball flash wide. Despite continued pressure the second goal proved difficult to score until 5 minutes from time when Sam Van Den Brielle won the ball in the midfield and played it into Sam Mulvaney who controlled first time in the area and was fouled by the visiting defender. Sam Pears stepped up to put the ball past the keeper. At 2 – 1 and the defence rarely under significant pressure Guiseley shocked the home team when a corner was only partially cleared and brilliant volleyed back in from just inside the area. At half time the score stood at 2 – 1 and with Rothwell Towns Charles Rice team short on players Liam King answered the call and was whisked away. Jacob Murray who had not been much more than a
spectator for most of the first half stepped into the space vacated by Liam and within two minutes found himself on the score sheet. Sam Pears again winning the ball in the area and releasing to Jacob who made sure of his goal with a
strong finish. Guiseley almost got back into the game after a long ball took an awkward bounce, but luck was with the keeper as the ball hit the underside of the bar and back into his arms. It was another Kai corner that was finished by Arnie that stretched the goal difference to 3. 5 minutes later Sam Mulvaney was unlucky again when he fired over the bar following a great run and pass by Harry Caton. With ten minutes to go Jacob Murray completed the win with a hard low shot that went through the keepers legs. Despite both Sam Pears and Jacob Murray keen to get hatricks the game ended without adding to the score sheet.

Man of the match goes to Arnie Dooner for a great disciplined performance.

Altofts 6 - 4 Rothwell Town

A game of two halves

Following what can only be described as a drubbing the week before, the CRL team aimed to bounce back away at Altofs. Whilst the first half was an improvement on the previous week the team turned around 3 nil down at half time and struggling to get in to the game. The second half was like watching another team as Rothwell really got stuck in and went after Altofs, pulling 2 goals back to make it 3-2 with goals from Lewis and Charles, before Altofs scored again. Rothwell came back again as the whole team chased and tackled everything, with the score at 5 – 4 to Altofs in the closing minutes. Rothwell made one last attack to get the equaliser and a great pass from Dan found Harry in the box but he was thwarted by a fine stop from the Altofs keeper.
Altofs added one more in the closing minutes to make it 6 - 4. Much improved performance all round with the whole team getting the share of the MOM. Special mentions go to Euan for some surging runs out of defence, Charles for his hat trick and George who played virtually the whole of the second half carrying an ankle injury. Well done for not giving in and showing a great
attitude working as a team which is sure to get us a few more wins

The Winning Habit

Rothwell Town 5 Chapeltown 2

The Winning Habit
After a win in the cup the previous week confidence was
high, against an unknown Chapletown side. Rothwell got off to a good start and
tried to pass the ball around in the early stages, with Sam Pears seeing a good
shot just missing the left hand post. Chapeltown were awarded a corner after a
rare attack and good delivery was dealt with well by Harrison Jones who got a
hand to it and cleared it from the goal area. The ball was quickly cleared up
field and an intelligent ball from Harry Caton found Kaden Sharlotte bursting
free through the middle of the away defence. Kaden controlled well and calmly
put the ball past the keeper.
More Rothwell attacks put pressure on the Chapeltown goal
and just 2 minutes after the first goal Town doubled their lead. Kai Wheeler on,
his return from a broken arm, delivered a great corner, which was met sweetly by
Arnie Dooner. Rothwell continued to push forward and look for more goals. Liam
King drilled a free kick into the area which Sam Mulvaney was unlucky not to
convert at the far post. An inspired substitution with 10 minutes of the first
half left to run paid dividends when Jacob Murray was released after by Arnie Dooner
who won the ball in midfield. Jacob controlled the ball well and held off a
strong challenge, calmly firing the ball into the roof of the net.

The home team started the 2nd half full of
confidence but soon found out that too much confidence and not enough
concentration can be bad combination. After a comfortable first half where the
away team hardly threatened, two goals in the first 5 minutes brought the game
firmly back into their grasp. Rothwell then settled back into the game and started
to press again. Sam Mulvaney was on hand to capitalise after a goal keeper
error to score his 4th goal in 2 games. Sam Pears completed the win on 22 minutes
following in a Jacob Murray shot which was only partially stopped by the
keeper.

Harry Caton took the man of the match award for a great
battling performance, and some great passing.

Victory in the Cup

A first win of the season came in the cup against Guiesley.
Rothwell started brightly and looked to keep hold of the ball. The direction of the play in the early stages was all towards the visitors goal, and on the rare occasions they broke away the defence coped well, and calmly played the ball out of defence through the midfield. The break through came after 10 minutes when more good work by Harry Caton through the middle resulted in a mishit clearance being vooleyed back into the goal by Sam Mulvaney. Rothwell were 2 up shortly after when Arnie Dooner should his usual tenacity and broke through midfield capitilising on a defence error and finishing sweetley from just inside the area. Guiesley brought the game back into their grasp after a rare mix up at the back allowed their striker to put the ball into an open net. Rothwell were soon back in charge after Sam Pears battled to win the ball in the area and poked the ball home from close range. Guisely started to get back into the game and had a period of possesion which saw them win a number of corners, which thretened to close the gap again. In fact it was Rothwell who went further ahead after the visiting goal keeper failed to hold a Liam King shot, and Sam Mulvaney follow in to double his tally. Shortly after a lack of marking and a some ball watching allowed the away team to break through and score. A corner late on for Rothwell was delivered in by Jacob Bues and after bouncing of one defender Harry Caton headed home to make the half time score 5 - 2

Confidence was high at the start of the second half and another goal came early after good work on the left by Kaden Sharlotte allowed Liam King to score towns 6th from close range. The front two continued to work hard pulling the defenders wide allowing the midfield to attack through the middle, Kaden had a number of opportunities and it was only the bravery of the keeper that kept the score down. Guiesley pressed forward and a number of times but the defence held tight debutant Sam Van Den Briele gave a solid and disciplined performance and great sliding tackles from Harrison Jones out wide and Michael Throp on the touch line after the striker had thought he had got the better of him, kept Rothwell safely in front. Guiesley went on to score a final consolation after more poor marking, but the result was already in the bag.

A well deserved win and the coaches were pleased to see the players looking to keep hold of the ball and put into practise what was done in training. More of the same next, and we start on charge up the league.

Match Report Vs Hemsworth 8 - 0

A hurricane howls through Hemsworth as Town throw down the oars and sail away with the wind!

A fine footballing effort today across the squad heralding a glorious début for George. Maximum commitment saw maximum gain as the boys had a rare opportunity to push for their places with the advent of an
ability to use substitutions. What was asked was given with heads and hearts as Town took the game to the opposition. The ball was won and pushed forward with a flurry of intelligent passes that ripped the life out of hearty Hemsworth eleven. Attacking play was always followed up and tracking back became less of an issue as midfield begin to realise their potential!

Performance levels were high right through the team but special mention must go Rhys, Harry, Ryan and Dan who all demonstrated individual flair and ability at key moments in the game. Charles for a couple
of brave headers and Seamus showing a stoic approach to defensive duties. M O M goes to Dom for a hard won hat-trick!

Dig in to win, head the ball to avoid a fall and stand on top of ya man to find a fan!

Remember the TEAM is the only scheme to achieve your dream!

Match Report - Rothwell Town Vs Royston Dynamos

Going down fighting!

Rothwell Town 2 Royston Dynamos 5

Rothwell kicked off with only 10 men after Royston where
unwilling to budge over an additional player from the Garforth team. Playing
into the wind half time came with a score of 3-1. A fine goal again from Harry
was the only reward for a really good half in which Rothwell worked really hard
despite having a man less. The second half was bound to catch up on the 10 men
but that was not the case as Rothwell were the better team, playing most of the
football in Roystons half. Royston got 2 break away goals but Rothwell never
gave up and got a goal back through Ryan who had a great second half.

Man of the match picked by the lads was Ryan. However, it
was fair to say that it was a great team effort with every player really doing
everything asked of them.

Thanks from Colin and Charlie for all your had work and
for never giving in.

Rothwell Town 2 Ardsley 8

"Ever tried? Ever failed? Try again. Fail again. Fail better!" (Beckett)

Match Report

Town slipped to their second defeat of the season against a good Ardsley team who had only been beaten once this season. A very close first half saw Ardsley shade it 3-2 despite 2 fantastic strikes from Dom, one goal straight from the kick off. The second half proved very one sided but only after a couple of good saves from the Ardsley keeper. They never looked back after a couple of goals, going on to stretch their lead. Not once did anybody give in, which shows a great attitude.

Managers Reveiw (Colins unique insight)

The wind died and we lost the oars on Sunday but through the mist of the intervening days we will attempt to whip up a storm for the next game against Royston and revisit the early promise as evidenced by the
purple patch of those free scoring season entry games!

Our heads will not drop but will come to meet the ball in every area of the park, positionally we will mark out and guard individual territories like the dogs of war! We will all work as impenetrable but incisive units from defence to midfield to attack! Our bodies will become battering rams that neither ball nor man can pass through! Do this and we WILL bounce back and once again taste the life affirming essence of victory or honest effort.

Garforth Rangers 4 - 1 Rothwell Town

Ray Charles found alive and well and reffing in Garforth

Town started the match against Garforth Rangers looking for their first win of the season. Despite kicking up the slope and against the wind the match was tight and keenly contested. Rothwell struggled to clear their lines against the wind and up the slope but the defensive partnership held well and were supported strongly by Harry Caton & Jacob Bues. Sam Mulvaney playing at left back got into advanced positions a number of times to trouble the Garforth defence and force a good number of corners. Harry Caton hit a thunderous half volley from outside the area following one of the corners, but his shot didn’t make it through crowd to trouble the net.

Garforth got the breakthrough with 15 minutes on the clock when a long ball from the keeper fooled everyone and was chased down by the Rangers attacker and steered past an on rushing Jacob in goal. Just minute’s later Town were awarded a free kick just outside the area which Liam King stepped up to take and despite hitting it well the Garforth wall did its job. 5 minutes later the game got turned on a contentious decision from the referee who awarded a penalty to the home team after the ball bounced up from Jacob Bues foot and brushed his hand. Further controversy followed when the penalty was taken and hit straight at Jacob Murray who held onto it, but the referee decided that the players had encroached and ordered a re take, which this time was hit well and the score was 2-0. The Town boys were visible annoyed and tried to steady themselves, but another long ball was chased down and despite Jacob Murray claiming the ball bravely the Garforth striker who was not flagged offside challenged heavily and the ball squirmed into the net and Jacob was left on the floor clutching an injured foot. Confusion then followed when the referee appeared not to give the goal after checking the keepers fitness. Players coaches and spectators were still unsure if the ‘goal’ stood until the referee was asked and he confirmed it was a goal. At half time the 3-0 score line flattered the home team and said as much about the refereeing performance as it did about the football played.

Rothwell responded brightly in the second half and using the advantage of the slope to put pressure on the defence. Liam appeared to have beaten the offside trap on a few occasions only for the referee to blow his whistle. At the other end the linesman flag was ignored as Garforth broke forward but again the ever increasing defensive partnership of Michael and Oliver managed to stop the attack from threatening. Town got back into the game when a goal mouth scramble ended with the ball in the net, Liam King once again had a hand in the finish. Nearing the end of the match Rothwell pushed forward to try and get back in the game and despite a number of good efforts and some great runs from Arnie on the left & Liam on the right, Town couldn’t increase there goal count and were hit with a sucker punch to make the final score 4-1.

How big was that Pitch!!!

After tasting defeat for the first time last week at the hands of a good Fryston team, Rothwell bounced back with a hard fought draw.

The captains' role was taken up by Euan this week and his commitment was 1st class with some great runs out of defence. Racing into a 2-0 lead with a fine free kick from Dan followed by a great finish from a corner by Rhys which was his first goal in Rothwell colours.

Wee Thorpe began to find their feet and a speculative long range effort that Robert could do nothing about brought them back into the game. However, that was swiftly followed by the goal of the game in which Ryan dribbled and switched feet to fire into the corner for a great solo goal.

The size of pitch and the lack of substitutes really made the second half tough going. Despite a fantastic effort by the defence, Lewis, Robert, Euan, Rhys and Dom Wrenthorpe managed to pull 2 goals back with the equaliser coming with only a minute to go.

Man of the match goes to Lewis burrows who stuck to his position, marked well and did everything asked of him by his team and coaches, well done. Lewis, Colin owes you a bag of sweets!

Home match next week, 3 points is the target.

Rothwell Spirit fails to keep Wolves from the Door

Rothwells first league game at home started brightly with the central midfield pairing of Caton & Dooner working hard to close the opposing players down. With Walker & Throp working well together at the back the goal was rarely threatened inside the first 20 minutes. A series of corners put pressure on the Wolves goal but the goal never cam and after a goal mouth scramble at the other end Rothwell went 1 - 0 down. The heads of the boys stayed up and right from the re-start they pressed forward with some good passing and great movement off the ball. Liams movement upfront impressed and created space which was spotted by Kaden who played a ball into the area for Sam Mulvaney to run onto and fire a left footed shot at a tight angle into the roof of the goal. Despite more pressure the half ended 1 - 1.
The second half started with the Wolves on top and a couple of lapses in concentration almost cost Rothwell dearly, but the score remianed equal until a Wolves corner was fired in a met with a good header. A dubious freekick, not long after turned a tight game into 3 - 1 to the visotors.  Rothwell continued to play quick passing football and Arnie, Jacob & Liam combined a number of times to trouble the defence and it was Liam who was in the right place to take a quick shot that was deflected onto the post which he followed up smartly and headed into an open goal. Spirits were high and despite more good attacking play the final whistle came before the next goal.

Man of the match goes to Arnie Dooner for his persistance at the back and his penetrating runs at the opposition defence.

A strong performance which should be taken into next weeks match against Garforth

Special mention must go to Kev Mulvaney for his brilliant ball stopping skills which saved Karen Caton from getting 'one in the face'. Kev showed he had good safe hands in fact they were that safe I'd trust you with "CHINA IN YOUR HANDS"

Rothwell Town 2 - 6 Guiseley 25-9-11 - Match Report

Sams Pair Not Enough to Progress in Cup
A tough cup draw saw Rothwell Town facing a strong Guiseley team who currently sit 3rd in the 1st division. Town matched their opponents in the opening 15 minutes and could have gone ahead through a Harry Caton volley that narrowly missed the near post from a great Jacob Bues corner. Town continued to press with the Guiseley goal seemingly living a charnmed life. Two goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half flattered the visitors at half time.
The second half started with Guiseley looking sharper and a third goal looked to have beaten Town, until Sam Pears delivered a thunderous header from another great Jacob Bues corner. At 3 - 1 and with Rothwell pressing confidence was high, but another two quick goals put the game out of reach. There was some controversy over the goals with a number of supporters and coaches looking for an offside flag. Sam Pears got his double after another sustained period of pressure in the Guiseley half but luck seemed to have deserted the time and despite the best period of football coming from Rothwell Town the next & final goal was for the visitors.

A good performance against a strong team and with a little more luck and a lot more hard work the seasons first win is just around the corner. To misquote a great sportsman "The harder I train the luckier I get" Gary Player

Sam Mulvaney picked up the man of the match for his great work in an unaccustomed position.

Rothwell T 3 - 5 Fryston Spartons 25-9-11 Match Report

If the wind doesn't blow take up the oars!

Once again a fine effort from the CR boys up against a solid Spartons outfit. A  patched up team, after the late withdrawal of a missed Ryan, showed a now typical fighting spirit right until the end. Another robust reaction from the lads at the back in the face of a formidable Fryston forward line. Midfield continue to explore their roles and worked tirelessly for the cause by battling for tackles, coming to meet the ball and linking the play from back to front. Special mention must go to both the remarkable talent of Harry, rewarded with an exceptional goal and the irrepressible Alex demonstrating incredible energy and endeavour!  The two strikers continue to develop their trade and will undoubtedly be able to add a few tools to the box following this performance.

Wakefield Jets Vs Rothwell Town match reveiw

Match report v Wakefield Jets away

The finest team effort to date (over 2 seasons) with clear commitment  from every player on the park! First to the ball from front to back and praise to the effort of both strikers (Charles & Seamus) who closed down the defence and keeper at every opportunity. Midfield beginning to flourish by fighting for the ball and playing a passing game through some tough challenges as well as getting back to assist the defenders.

Extra praise must go the back four of Euan, Rhys, Dom and Daniel. A finer unit would not be seen this side of Italy with the flying sweeper Dan getting 3 if we include a header deflected into the net by the Jets last man....a moment that was applauded, acknowledged and appreciated by all who know how he likes to play the ball at his feet! "If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds he'd of put grass up there" (Clough), "If we don't get our head on the ball we'll never have our head in the clouds" (O'Loan). Man of the match is Rob for a clean sheet and excellent command of his area. Special mention must also go to the youngest members of the squad who stepped up, turned on and tuned in!

The bar has now been raised so same again next week boys and check back in for more words of wisdom from the coach with a quote!

Hunslet Vs Rothwell Town - Match Report

Our Garforth league team started their season off away at Hunslet and after a tight opening were in front inside the first 15 minutes. A ball played in behind the Hunslet defence was chased down by Liam King who beat the on coming keeper to it and managed to steer it around him to roll it into the net. Hunslet pressed and were stronger in midfield. The Rothwell defence were under pressure but were coping well Kai Wheeler impressing and Harrison Jones in great form claiming the ball well on a number of occasions in the goal. The equaliser from Hunslet came from a long ball after a throw in deep in their own half. As halftime approached Rothwell were awarded a free kick 5 yards out of the Hunslet area. Liam stepped up and delivered a great shot that looked like a goal until the Hunslet keeper brilliantly turned away.

The second half started in the same way with Hunslet holding possession for longer and despite a number of good stops from Harrison Hunslet got 2 more goals making it 3 - 1. Rothwell started to apply more pressure and a good bursting run from Sam Pears caused panic in the Hunslet defence. Kaden Sharlotte battled well in the midfield and won the ball and released Liam king on the left hand side. A great first time ball from Liam switched the play to Sam Mulvaney deep on the right who controlled well and delivered an excellent low cross that was met by Liam, who had continued his run, and fired into the goal. At 3 -2 and with less than 5 minutes left Rothwells hope of a late equaliser were dashed when a long clearence from Hunslet changed defence into attack and the Rothwell defence were beaten making the final score 4 - 2.

Man of the Match goes to Kai Wheeler for his performance at left back.

training for the Charles Rice squad is on as normal, and the Squad for Sunday will be updated on Thursday morning.

Squads for season 2011 - 2012

The squads for the following season are as follows. We have 12 registered players for each squad which leaves us vulnerable to being unable to field a full 11, if kids are sick etc. Therefore we are going to Dual register a number of players to provide support across both leagues. These dual registered players need to be fully agreed but initially we are going to dual register all the coaches kids, this will also allow us to provide coaching support across the leagues.
Jacob M, Jacob B & Josh, have also said that they would love to help out if needed. All of which means we can be confident in getting two full teams together each week.

However we would still love to bring in a couple more players, so if you know of anyone who might want to join us ask them to come along to a training session.

Over the next week the coaches are attending the league meetings which will give us all the information we need. Once the holiday season is over and everyone is back to the excitement of normal working life we will get everyone together for a parents meeting (and a drink) to explain our plans in more details. Until then if you have any questions please call Stuart.

Parking isn’t great and the local residents get a bit upset so can you please make sure you don’t park in front of drives. It is possible to walk from Rothwell Town using the passage way at the back of the top pitch then straight down the road.

Summer Tour Review and Pictures

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to John (Ralph's Dad) for sponsoring the tour, its a shame they couldnt join us, it was a big success.

Secondly, well done to Stuart who single handledly organised a fab weekend, not only did he organise the matches but also ensured we were all kept busy over the two days.

Day 1-
After an early start to the day we made good time to reach Rothwell (Kettering), where we played in our first ever 11 a side tournament. We played five matches in total, only winning one of the games, but were very unlucky not to get more out of the other games.
The early start probably took its toll towards the end of the tournament. The coaches though were very pleased with the quality the team showed, some good passing movements. It can be said there was some dubious decisions that seemed to favour the home teams rather than the team from up north.
Other than that we were made to feel very welcome by the hosts and hope to see them up our way next year.
In the evening we went bowling where fun was had by all, except the coach driver who was stuck in the toilet harrasing the local fire brigade.
It was a good day for the Etchells household, Dan was named our player of the tournament and Mike showed his pool skills by winning the dad's 'killer' pool game TWICE!! Brenda, he won at least £50 so expect a little treat from him.
Day 2 -
We paid a visit to Market Harborough where we played a game against their two under 11's team.
Again the coaches were very impressed with how the team played. Harborough FC give us a really good game, both teams were well matched and it was a very tight game until the last quarter of the game when we ended up winning the game 5 - 2. Everyone was excellent, imparticular Arnie and Euan were ouotstanding and were named as players of the match.
A special mention must go to Dom, who due his bravery in goal, picked up an ankle injury and had to go to hospital, thankfully no damage was done and he was able to join us on the coach for the trip back.
Again we were well looked after by the hosts and look forward to having them a rematch at some point next year.
In summary, the tour was a real success on and off the pitch, our aim next year is to take the team to Holland!
