LATEST LEAGUE REULTS WEEK 2

Mil Palmeras B U7's 18 v 0 San Miguel

Goalscorers, Tiandra Anderson 4, Henry Long 6, Niomi De Sheffield, Taylor Hirst 2, Alex Mcinulty 3, Adam Pritchard 1 and OG. A comfortable win for Mil Palmeras against a newly formed San Miguel side. This is Mil Palmeras B team and deserved the win for all there recent hard work. A number of players getting on the score sheet for the first time. A great local derby played in good spirit

Mil Palmeras A U8's 9 v 0 Benejuzar U8's

Another comfortable win, with Paolo Webb getting player of the match. Diego Sheffield scored 2, as did William Clayton. This was a nice win and showed the foundations being laid by this club are paying off. David Milton Stamm scored 2, Joshua Greenaway 1, Alfred Johnson scored 2 more, and Alfred Emmett scored 1, well done.

Redovan A U12's 3 v 4 Mil Palmeras A
Team Sponsor: Cash In The Attic, Playa Flamenca Beach.

A surprising result for a team full of young players, going away to Redovan A and going 3 nil down and winning is a great effort by all the players. A determined winning spirit as Kai Pickford grabbed another 2 goals, Emily Kelly scored her first of the season and Jamie Mcdonald scored his first aswell. This young team has great energy, and is a real pleasure to train, they enjoy each others company and Player of The match Lewis Long into his 3rd year here, was in great form again. 2 wins in 2 games is a little surprising with a few players just being promoted up to this age group. Redovan had played a game just before our game, and this was evident as they had 17 players against our relatively young squad, but we came back from 3-0 down to win the game, well done.

How this Mil Palmeras side came away from this game without a point, is a surprise.

San Miguel went 3-0 up with 3 shots and Mil Palmeras threw everything but the kitchen sink but couldnt get the win.
