Summery of the 2014-15 Season so far
The Under 12’s are a friendly bunch who enjoy their football whatever the results. They play an attractive style with 100% commitment but sometimes lack a cutting edge. In the recently completed Autumn League they competed in all games with mixed results – the highlight of the season was a League Cup game when 2 – 0 down at half-time they came back to win 4 – 2, all the more impressive when due to a late change in kick-off time Cholsey played with 7 players against 9. After some indoor Futsal after the Christmas break we’re now just into The Spring League which is only two games old. We have started impressively with two wins of 10-2 and 11-2 and of our squad of 14, all bar one player, have now scored at least one league goal this year. We look forward to continuing our good form as the season develops.

Summary of the 2013-14 Season
The team has been through quite a few changes in the last four years as we initially entered a one-team format with seventeen players and then a two-team format in the subsequent year and more recently into 9-a-side at Under 11’s with off-sides. We have had our highs and lows when it comes to results but at the end of each game you wouldn’t know the outcome from the positive attitude of the players and their parents.
We have children from a variety of schools but the common theme is that they all get on well as a group and invite new players in with the same enthusiasm and friendliness as those team-mates who started back at Under 7’s. The squad is managed to give everyone as much playing time as possible which sometimes disrupts the flow of a game but as we’ve seen over the years it brings all the players on importantly not just as a team, but also as individuals.
We normally train on a Thursday evening during the season with games taking place on a Sunday morning as part of the Oxford Mail Boys League. During the winter break last season we enjoyed a number of Futsal sessions which the children found particularly fun and are keen to do again this year.
