Upton FC Supports Give Blood Campaign
Nearly 2 million people give blood and yet it is still in constant demand. That’s because there are all sorts of reasons as to why people receive blood – the kind of issues that might touch all of our lives. Whether it’s to help support a patient through chemotherapy, to stem blood loss during child birth or to help someone injured in an accident there are so many reasons why we need people to regularly donate.
If you would like to find out more about blood donation please click on www.blood.co.uk or call us on 0300 123 23 23, where you can find details of your local donation sessions, the donation process and answers to any medical queries you may have. Do something amazing – give blood.

Under 12 Rangers continued their good run of form with a great 3 -3 draw against Oxton Ladies.

Under 12 Rangers were without manager Jim this week, but under Colin and Pete from our other under 12 team, continued their progress with a fine 4 – 2 win over Manor Missiles. The improvement in the last few weeks is there for all to see with every player on the pitch playing a big part in the win. Zoe Hazlehurst scored a deserved first goal of the season, Yasmin Deplidge scored 2, whilst Anna Pippard finished the scoring with a fine shot from distance, as well as being awarded player of the match.
Under 12s produced a great display of passing to run out 9 – 1 winners against Oxton Ladies. The scoreline does not recognise a number of excellent saves by the Oxton keeper and their goal was well taken and deserved. However, Upton created numerous opportunities through sheer quality of passing play and the team really are playing well from front to back. Jess Farrell scored 4 and was player of the match; Shannon Navarro scored 2; Olivia Radford, Caitlin Quinn and Elizabeth Sullivan one each
Under 14s were to play Manor at Poulton Vics but the referee arrived in a torrential downpour, and took the entirely reasonable decision at the time that the game should be postponed
Under 16s got back into winning ways at the Delph, beating Birkenhead Youth 7 – 0. Both teams played well considering the cold rain and strong wind. Louise O’Brien, Hannah Smith and Aira Temporal scored two each, and Abbie Bateman the other goal, whilst Lauren McGarrity was player of the match.
