Due to poor weather conditions both the U13s and U12s had their games postponed on Saturday morning. The U15s, however, managed to get their game played against Wolverhampton in the West Mids league.

Kiel

Despite missing the services of a number of players, Erdington started brightly and were unlucky to go 1 - 0 down when a speculative long range shot skidded under goalkeeper Jordan Arnett. Jordan soon made amends with a great save from point blank range. As the Wolves grew in confidence, their pacy forwards began to create chances and they went further ahead with a snap shot beating the keeper at the right hand near post. However, it was not one way traffic and Luke Shearer was a constant threat with his mazy runs . It was Shearer's diagonal ball to Kiel Richards that lead to Erdington pulling a goal back. Kiel's first touch was excellent and this enabled him to beat the Wolverhampton goalkeeper with a great shot to make the score 1 - 2 by half time.

With the rain continuing to pour down in the second half, Erdington conceded two more on the counter attack as the team pushed men forward in search of goals.

Jack

Despite losing 4 - 1 in appalling conditions, the team put in a great battling performance typified by Sam Elgar in the centre of Erdington's midfield and Jack Austin in the heart of defence.

Erdington now meet Stockport in their next fixture who beat todays opponents 2 - 0 in the previous round of the English School's Cup.

Merry Christmas to all staff, players, referees, parents and friends  - and best wishes for 2009
