FA CHARTER STANDARD

Venceremos has been awarded charter standard status by the Football Association. This is a fantastic accolade and means that the club meets certain standards in relation to child welfare in particular. The achievement of this award will result in funding opportunities and should help attract more kids from the local area. The award is a result of the efforts of a number of volunteers to whom the club is extremely grateful. Going forward, it is essential that everyone involved with Venceremos (players, parents, coaches) maintains the high standards we have set ourselves in particular with regard to adherence with the FA's Respect programme.

This was a busy weekend with matches on both days for both sides. It is pleasing that despite some unavailability we fielded full teams for all the games. The intention was that forming a "B" team would ensure that more kids got match play opportunities. We purposely went into the lowest division available but it would appear that because of the way the league treats new teams in phase 2 there are probably at least a couple of sides who should be playing at higher level, both of whom we met this weekend. This is challenging given that a number of our kids have never played competitive football and we will be contacting the league regarding the relative strength of the various sides in Group A. In the meantime, many thanks to John for all his organising this week and for all the kids who gave 100% for their teams.

HARROW SOCCER 7's DIVISION 4
Venceremos 4-2 Kodak
In a closely fought and highly entertaining game, the boys came out on top against a good Kodak side. The Junior Vs took an early lead when Alfie volleyed home Ryan's excellent corner and dominated the first 10 minutes. Kodak gradually came into the game though and forced an equaliser before half time. Kodak had decent possession after half time but the boys took the lead when Alfie slotted home after a mazy run then a well worked goal made it 2-2. The boys responded almost immediately when Ryan jinked down the right and crossed for Ishmael who coolly finished. In the last 10 minutes The Junior V's took control and Alfie completed his hat trick from close range. This was one of the toughest games the boys have had and it was a real team effort. Daniel was outstanding at the back in the first half whilst Reg, Jordan, Lewis and John put in numerous tackles. PERFORMANCE RATING 9.5
UNDER 10's B
HARROW SOCCER 7's GROUP A
Pinner Albion 9-1 Venceremos
Playing against a strong attacking side, we struggled in the first half. In the second half we were stronger and this was rewarded with Max’s first goal of the season, which came from good support from Jess and Syd. William, Nev and Billy battled hard in defence, and Alex, Laurence and Daylan put in good tackles in the middle of the pitch. PERFORMANCE RATING 6

UNDER 10's A
HARROW SOCCER 7's DIVISION 4
Forest Utd 3-6 Venceremos
In an open game the boys secured a fine win against opponents who remained competitive throughout. The boys started brightly and took a deserved lead when Alfie fired home from a free kick but Forest were always a threat on the break with a couple of pacy forwards one of whom was only denied by a brilliant save from Owen. Generally, however, the Junior Vs dominated with Ishmael in excellent form at the back and it was no great surprise when Ben, playing his best game of the season, steered home a volley before half time. After the break, Forest reduced the deficit but Alfie restored the lead from another great delivery from Ryan then Ryan himself slotted home from a close range. Lewis then made it 5-1 before Forest scored twice in quick succession but the boys responded with Alfie completing his hat trick in the final minute. This was a good performance although the boys were indebted to Owen who made a number of crucial saves particularly in the second half. PERFORMANCE RATING 8.5
UNDER 10's B
HARROW SOCCER 7's GROUP A
Venceremos 0-12 Bessingby Park Rangers
Max, Billy, Laurence, William, Nevan, Daylan, Dylan and Ollie battled hard, but it was a tough game against a strong, well-drilled Bessingby who won the game comfortably. We struggled to get any attacking play together, and at times every player was defending. Well done to all the team, they never lost their enthusiasm. PERFORMANCE RATING 6
