Abiiity Counts Season Begins with Victory
Saturday saw the start of the ability counts season for our ability counts team and so off the teams set for the first of our monthly fixtures at moss farm.
The introduction of a couple of new players and our established players from last season, had the coaching staff looking forward to what would be a fantastic day for all involved.
The day could not have gone better with the sun shining brightly and parents, players and the coaches all looking forward to the game against Tranmere Rovers.
Both teams played there part in a great game and despite the heat they both battled hard to try and win there first game of the season, it was great to see both teams play so well.
The improvement in the Upton team was there for all to see with some great passing and movement throughout the game and it was great to see Upton rewarded for their good football with goals from Amelia 4, a hat-trick from Jay and 2 goals each from Jordan and Josh saw us run out 11-3 winners. Once again a great day was had by all, and everyone can’t wait for November’s fixtures.

Ability Counts Tournament
Last week saw Uptons ability counts team visit Northwich for only the second time to take part in the ability counts festival, and what a great day it turned out to be for the team.
The team gave a great account of themselves with the highlight of the day being a three nil victory over Tranmere Rovers in the first game we then went on to draw one game and narrowly lose our last game, but the improvement in the team was there for all to see.
And once again the players, parents and coaching staff had a great day.
The players were presented with medals by the club for there great achievement.
Well done to all the team.
