It was a great return to winning form this weekend when Hucknall Warriors played Edwalton Cavaliers in the 3^rd round of the Nottinghamshire FA  under 10s Saturday Challenge Shield at home.

With a complete team, at times it was a mixed display of football due to the heavy ground but it turned into a goal-fest for the home side. Warriors’ immediately exerted pressure onto Edwaltons goal and on two minutes took the lead with a blistering first goal as captain Owen Burke opened the Warriors account. It took another 10 minutes for the action to pick up again with missed opportunities wasted but halfway through the first half Joe Gillan scored two goals in as many minutes to take the Warriors to a 3 –0 lead. Also waiting to get on the score sheet was Curtis Rigley who put the ball in the Edwalton net for Warriors fourth, then minutes later left footer Jack Bradley, making a return to the side after injury, scored the fifth as half time approached, George Blatherwick gave the Warriors a 6-0 lead at half time.

Nine minutes into the second half Gillan scored his hat-trick, and three minutes later Blatherwick scored for his second of the match.A penalty awarded to Warriors saw Glen McDonald score from the spot, then minutes later it was Rigley for his second of the match.10-0 ahead with five minutes to play and with all the possession to Warriors, it was Gillan again with his fourth of the match and with the final whistle looming, it was McDonald again for his second of the match and a final score of Hucknall Warriors 12, Edwalton Cavaliers 0.

The whole team was awarded the man of the match award for an impressive performance.

Young Elizabethan under 10s division one

Warriors U10s got off to the worst possible start in their game against last
seasons champions Lowdham Colts  by going 1-0 down in the first two
minutes of the game.This kick-started Warriors into an attacking mode
and they soon began to dominate the 1st half and soon got the equalizer
they deserved with some fine work by captain Joe Gillan down the right
wing and a neat flick on by Curtis rigley into the path of midfielder
Owen Burke who calmly slotted the ball home,super sub Glen McDonald
gave a battling performance and nearly gave the Warriors the lead with
a fine turn and shot only to see the ball go just wide of the Lowdham
goal. With 5mins left of the 1st half Warriors took the lead with a
superb header by striker Curtis Rigley from a pinpoint corner by
midfield dynamo  Connor Smith.

The second half saw Lowdham come out
looking for the equalizer and continued to put the Warriors defence
under pressure and if not for some valiant defending by Jude Preece and
Regan Evans and some outstanding goal keeping by David Hurry the
visitors would have been on double figures, sure enough with only seven
minutes left to play Lowdham finally breeched the Warriors defence and
got their 2nd to pull level and then straight from the kick off went
into the lead with a fine effort leaving the Warriors keeper no chance!
The Warriors then took the game to Lowdham looking for an equalizer of
their own to save the game and with their never give up attitude and
relentless hard work they were rewarded with a penalty in the last
minute of the game.Goalkeeper and man of the match Hurry calmly stepped
up to the spot and smashed in the ball into the back of the Lowdham net
to earn the Warriors a point they deserved in this well fought game.

Young Elizabethan - Saturday under 10s- division one

The lads played brilliant in the 1st half , taking a well deserved two
goal lead by completely out playing their opposition, however this was a
game of two halves and after starting the 2nd half well Long Eaton
threw everything at the Warriors and eventually got a lucky first goal.
Long Eaton soon got an equaliser due to some sloppy defending, this
then led to Long Eaton taking the lead with a hit and hope shot that
went through a group of players and found the Warriors net with only
five minutes to go. The dejected Warriors couldn't find a reply and finally ran
out of steam to lose 3-2 in a well fought game and still looking for
their first win of the season in the league!!
