Under 12 Rangers were ready to build on last week’s win, but opposition Oxton Girls rang to cancel the game on Friday. Two points gained but the girls would rather have played the game, and kept the good work going!

Under 14s were at home to Heygarth Utd in the reverse fixture of the first game of the season. The visitors were lively and played some good football, before Leah McNay broke the deadlock late in the first half with a fine finish from Brittany White’s corner. Leah scored a second early in the second half, before Heygarth pulled one back. The game was closely matched until an emphatic finish from Jodie Williams, and a goal from Isabel Nolan saw Upton finish 4 -1 winners. Rebecca Pritchard-Howarth was deservedly player of the match.
Under 16s played Waverton for the third time this season, the visitors having kindly agreed to reverse the fixture so that coach and parents could recover from our Xmas party the night before. A good game of football, with both sides playing well, was enjoyed by the home and away supporters, but Upton ended up winning 5 – 1 with goals from Louise O’Brien (2); Abbie Bateman; Lauren McGarrity; and Lucy McKeown, who was also player of the match.

The Under 7’s lost 6-1 to Ashville with Man of Match Ashton Ventre getting the goal
The Under 8’s lost 4-0 but the lads battled hard and did there best to get themselves a goal. Cameron Parry was the man of the match whilst Sam Whelan made some excellent saves.
The Under 9’s Unfortunately this week saw our unbeaten start to the season come to an end. However, the lads produced a great performance and were unlucky to lose. A win would have seen the lads move above the opposition, and on the performance this could well have happened. We started very well, and pushed Glenavon back with some good strong tackling coupled with good wing play. A number of chances came, but unfortunately the ball just wouldn’t find the net. The Glenavon goalie was playing well and was holding on to shots coming in. With Chris playing very well in the middle, and Callum and Dylan doing some fine work on the wings, the chances kept coming and we thought a goal would soon come. Glenavon themselves produced some good chances, but Andrew was very solid at the back, and when they did get past him Alfie was there to again produce some great saves. Luke upfront was also playing well and was unluck not to score, and Alex hit the inside of the post, but the ball bounced out kindly for Glenavon, so the half ended goalless. The second half was much the same with Upton pressing, and Glenavon hitting us on the break. Unfortunately Glenavon struck twice in a short time, which was harsh for the lads, as both goals were very fortuitous. The first dropped kindly in the box from a corner, and with our lads trying to clear, it cannoned off a couple of players before falling nicely for them to poke in. The second was even luckier. A quick breakaway found Alfie in a one on one situation with their striker, and Alfie saved excellently only to see the ball rebound off their striker to go over the line. This didn’t deter the lads, who made all the pushing, and again Alex was unlucky to see another quick strike come back off the post. It just wasn’t our day as the final whistle went, but the lads could be very proud of their performance, and on another day would have won this quite easily. Man of the Match Callum Palmer

The Under 9’s had an entertaining game today with the lads easing into the next round of the cup, while extending their unbeaten run from the start of the season. Everybody played their part excellently today, with a number of the lads playing in different positions than usual. The game started brightly with both teams looking good on the ball and moving it about well. For the first 10 – 15 minutes the sides looked very evenly matched, and our lads were having to work very hard to produce any decent chances. However, the lads gradually started to put some good moves together using the wings with Callum and Dylan on both sides, and the chances started to arrive, with shots going close. At the other end, Glenavon were themselves putting some good moves together, and forced a few corners, but Philip in the centre was up to the task and cleared when needed. The game flowed from end to end, and the first goal arrived from the boot of Dylan, who followed up on a shot that was spilled by the Glenavon Goalie. This goal seemed to settle the lads, and the second followed not long after, with Tom producing a cracking strike from just inside the area, which the goalie had no chance of keeping out. The lads ( and parents ) were now buzzing, and heaped on the pressure. The third goal came not long before halftime, with Alex producing a good volley from the edge of the box over the goalie and into the roof of the net. The second half started much the same as the first, with chances and good possession for both sides. Glenavon attacked well, and the lads were pushed back for a while, but Will in goal and Andrew at the back produced a couple of vital clearances to keep the lead in tact. Again, at the other end with a number of corners the lads could not build on the healthy lead. However, after a number of chances for both sides, the fourth goal finally came. This time it was a fine solo run on the left from Dylan, who then produced a calm finish, which indeed put paid to the opposition. Final score 4 -0 and the lads march on to the next round. Alex Clarke was Man of Match.
The Under 10’s had a great victory in the cup beating high flying NBS Rangers 1-0 thanks to a Connor Jones goal with Owen Burns Man of Match.

Birkenhead could not keep the goals out for long and some great passing and finishes quickly put Upton well ahead. Upton ended up winning 12 – 1 with 5 goals (and player of the match) for Jodie Williams; 2 each for Poppy Buckley; Isabel Nolan and Leah McNay, and one for Ceri Duff.
