🫡 My boy Caleb’s coach Ross, who coaches Shouldham F.C U14s, was in two very different places Saturday and Sunday mornings. Both just as special. 💪🟨⬛️

Give me a ring if you like!? 😂

Norwich City can confirm that the club have parted company with head coach Liam Manning.

Assistant head coach Chris Hogg and first-team coach analyst James Krause have also left the club.

We exit the cup (but it’s not all bad!). We now drop into the sub cup. Maybe a shot at winning a trophy!? We can only dream

⚽️ Cup Exit For The U10 Golds

The U10s exited the cup at fists round round against a strong KLSC team. There wasn’t much in it, it was the old story of KLSC took their chances and The Golds didn’t.

Well done to KLSC and our U10 Golds will be looking to bounce straight back next week.

POTM went to Oscar. A brace today. Oscar has found his goal scoring boots over the last couple of weeks and ran his socks off today. Well deserved

🎤 Coach Bens thoughts: “I felt we played well today and matched them throughout, I’m not one for excuses, we switched off 2-3 times from kick ins and corners and it’s ultimately cost us, something to work on in training. We rotated the boys more than we normally would and we didn’t have our natural balance. On we go, we can now target a good run in the sub cup and dream of making a cup final”

Another outstanding performance from my boys!

✍️ Match Report ⚽️

Castle Acre Swifts F.C. U10 🟨🟦
Shouldham F.C. U10 Gold 🟪⬛️

What an absolute ding d**g of a game between two spirited teams who didn’t want to give an inch and in the end there wasn’t anything between the two sides.

For our Golds, there was so many stand out performances as the boys played some amazing attacking football.

POTM: Ethan - Ethan grabbed himself a hat-trick, capped off by an amazing solo goal. His 2nd hat-trick in two weeks. But it was his all round game that was most impressive from the centre of midfield. Special mention to James too who pulled off some amazing saves.

Well done team 🟪⬛️💪

Let’s go Golds. Another impressive display from this little amazing group of ballers. Out of 8 games we now sit at 6 positive results. For me, the turnaround was what I was hoping for but not expecting. Amazing. Makes all those drubbings and double digit hammerings worth it! 🟨⬛️💪

🥅🧤 A Krul but brilliant surprise!

Shouldham F.C. U18s had a safe pair of hands in the crowd today as ex Norwich City and Dutch international Tim Krul came to watch our lads away at Mulbarton.
