The newly formed u11s are having a great season. Only put together last summer by Coach Gary and Jayson who have done an amazing job with the boys getting them competing and enjoying their football in such a short space of time. They are playing some really good football. Watch this space for more on our u11s
Fantastic result for New Salamis Youth U13 White, who beat Hinton & Finchley Legends 5.1, taking the boys 2nd on the table with 3 points away from the leaders and still have 2 games in hand. It’s a fantastic start to the campaign and still undefeated this season. Man of the match captain Huseyin-Emre Denizer who scored a screamer of a goal as well as a penalty, Jemiah Edwards with 2 goals keeping him as top goal scorer with 25 goals in 11 matches and top goal scorer in the whole of the u13’s, great to see Kayden Nyanzi score on the day as well with lovely assists during the match from Alexandros Mittas, Adam Choudhury & Huseyin-Emre Denizer. A great team effort.

Score 5-3 (Win) U18s – New Salamis Reds vs Aldenham Summary: Started on the front foot with a reverse of fortune where the red Salamis scored the first goal and took control of the game. Some of the best football played by the team this season with everyone pulling together for the good of the team. The team seemed to have the right balance and organisation and if not for some minor lapses in concentration we would have won by a larger margin. Great work by the whole team. Game Positives: Jaden : Always hard working and willing to work hard for the team. We as coaches have seen him toil and try to push that metaphorical rock uphill sometimes without reward and recognition. Yet still he comes to games and training with a positive and hardworking mindset. It was inevitable that he was going to get his rewards and in this game he got it. Not just working hard but working smart. Jaden utilised the support from his midfield team mates. In the future I would like to see Jaden go forward more and work on his technical ability to link the front players with though balls and have more shots on goal. Great game Jaden and a much deserved award of man of the match and Captain for the game. Caleb: SAVED A PENALTY!!! This is not déjà vu this ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!! Caleb has once again saved a penalty. AMAZING WORK CALEB WELL DONE!! The team were happier with his ball distribution and his command of the goal area. Without making a few minor mistakes he would have had the perfect game. Caleb needs to apply full concentration to his games so that he does not make these errors that mar his near perfect performance. Jamie: One of the unsung heroes of the team. There are many games where Jamie makes those critical challenges that save the team. Very dependable and hardworking and is able to pre-empt danger and intercept it. Jamie has very good reading of the game which has helped the team when the opposition is bearing down on the goal. Michael: I know this is not Michaels preferred position, BUT, he is exceptional in it and each week he seems to get better and better. Not only strong in the challenge but very good at bringing the ball out and distributing. His fiery temperament can lead to him giving away free kicks in dangerous areas but it is his passion for the game that makes him battle so hard for the team. If we can find the perfect balance with his temperament we will near enough have the perfect defender. Nelson: One of the most intense committed and hardworking members of the team a man of action and very few words. ALWAYS works hard for the team. Today he made very few errors and was one of the star players of the team. Today Nelson was strong in the challenge and made the right decisions. Keep up the good work!! Brian: It’s that man again, he can’t stop scoring. Not only that but worked hard for the team and put in challenges where he needs to. Very accomplished performance. Matteo: Always wanting to improve and be better and once again unsurprisingly on the score sheet. Matteo is devasting when he is direct and attacks the opposition. Both Brian and Matteo have different styles of play but both players are very effective in front of goal. The biggest improvement with Matteo is how hard he battles for the team. Having said that Matteo needs to be more aware of his team mates and link the play with his team more when they are in better positions to attack than himself. Tyler: (Aka the General): Was happier with the support he had from his fellow midfield team mates and for us it was great to see the harmony in the midfield. Did a great job of assisting the defence and linking the play with his midfield and attack. Solid performance as usual. Game Issues: Beautiful one touch passing to release the ball. Loads of communication, hard and committed challenges, a very, very good game played by us. We just need to stay concentrated and focused and stop making costly errors, but to be fair a very, very well-played game by the team. Team, you should be very proud of yourselves keep it up. Room For Improvement: The team showed heart, commitment, execution and application. There were moments where we had a lapse in concentration but a very accomplished performance by the team. Now that we have raised the bar at this level let’s keep it there. Well played team!

New Red Salamis vs St Gregories United Under 18 Watford Friendly League (Home) Roundup By Coach Horace & Jayson Score 4-4 (Draw) Summary: A slow start by Salamis Reds with goals conceded early in both halves. Which did not help the teams cause. A few lapses in concentration defensively also made the team pay a price with conceding another goal. We showed our resilience and our will to win by coming away with a draw. Had their goalkeeper not had had such a fantastic game we would have for sure have come away with the win. Game Positives: Dylain : Came on late in the first half and gave an overrun midfield much needed support. As well as being dogged and committed in the challenges against the opposition (despite his ankle). He also added an attacking option and manged to bag a brace to help the team to a draw. Well done!! P.S the first goal was amazing. Caleb: SAVED A PENALTY!!! This was not the only plus point of his game his ball distribution was very much improved and he seemed to grow more and more with confidence during the game. But above all he did save a penalty which enabled us to get a well-earned point. Andoni: Firstly, welcome back Andoni. Andoni came on and played direct football and took the fight to the opposition with some very positive runs on goal. Great to see him back and on form. Michael: Played well as a centre back even though it is not his preferred position. Was able to pre-empt and intercept the opposition threat before it began. Very strong in the tackle with good ball distribution. He was not able to affect the game as much in the midfield but worked hard for the team. Theo: Worked hard for the team and although being outnumbered on many an occasion on the right battled hard for the team and as well as carrying the ball out of danger was also strong in the challenge when the opposition attacked. Really worked hard for the team and put in a tremendous effort. Brian: Really starting to show consistency up front with the second goal in as many games. No doubting Brian’s amazing technical ability on the ball and his ability to create space for the shot when there isn’t any. We would like to see Brian be more confident and try to win the ball during those 50:50 challenges. Another solid performance again. Matteo: Really starting to show consistency as well and although he did not influence the game as he had done previously still showed that determination and drive that eventually rewarded himself and the team a goal. Tyler: (Aka the General): Tyler was a frustrated figure in the first half and was unable to put his usual commanding stamp on the game. Frustrated with the lack of support from the midfield he was uncharacteristically unable to galvanise and rally the troops. As usual, undeterred, he regrouped and lead the team in the second half, well done sir, I commend your mental toughness. Be sure to be vocal and let your team know what you want from them during the game and always offer encouragement and support that way you will be certain to be heard. Game Issues: Once again we were too slow to start and not only from the start of the first half but from the start of the second half which cost us two goals. The team needs to be keen and aware of the early dangers from the opposition and to not concede and leave themselves a mountain to climb. Their needs to be better communication amongst the team, their were individual bits of brilliance today but not enough of a team performance their needs to be more cohesion as a team, by working as a team we will get improved results. We would like to see the team moving the ball better. Too many players tried to do too much out of frustration instead of trusting their teammates to assist. Room For Improvement: Nelson: One minor error during the game. Nelson is always committed to the team and always gives his best. Nelson can sometimes have lapses of concentration which forces an error and undoes all of his hard work. We would like to see Nelson be more composed on the ball and not rush the pass or clearance.
