against Amaranth.
Amaranth 2
Pudsey Juniors Under 12s 3
Date: 13 Apr 08
Competition: Garforth Junior Football League U-12 division 2
It was a cold wet Sunday morning when Pudsey started this encounter in the
knowledge that they had gone six games undefeated in the league. However, in the
first half Pudsey did not look like a team in form as they appeared to play half
hearted and basically had “a bit of a howler”. Amaranth to their credit played
well condensing the play in the Pudsey half and after five minutes they broke
the deadlock as one of their strikers was given the chance to power a great shot
only to be denied by a save from Gavin Howarth, unfortunately the ball found
another Amaranth player whose shot was nearly cleared of the line by Elliott
West. Josh Smith and Sam Chip did have chances up front only to shoot straight
at the Amaranth keeper who gathered both attempts without much difficulty. Five
minutes to go and an Amaranth player yet again found himself on goal chipping
home to take the score to 2-0. At this point the Pudsey team could have dropped
their shoulders but to their credit they kept playing and in difficult
conditions, on a wet pitch, Sam Chip had a shot, after a great run and cross
from Elliott West, which slid under the Amaranth keeper to take the score to 2-1
at the half time break.
All the Pudsey support hoped that this was going to be a game of two halves and
a game of two halves it was, Pudsey returning to the pitch with a determination
to turn around a poor first half performance. Five minutes in Sam Chip found
himself through on goal, after latching on to a great through ball, but his
strike was saved well yet he managed to pick up the rebound to tap home to bring
the scores level. Moments later and another goalmouth scramble found Josh Smith
shooting over the bar. Sam Chip then had another run, dancing and weaving his
way past the Amaranth midfield and defenders only to be brought down on the edge
of the box, the resultant free kick started another goalmouth scramble which
only ended when an Amaranth defender franticly cleared. It always looked like
Pudsey would take all three points and with only a few minutes to go Sam Chip,
who now covered in mud looked like he had been in a right battle, fired a superb
shot only to be denied by a brilliant save which then found Bradley Jones who
shot home to take the score to 2-3. Pudsey gained the result they deserved from
what must be the best second half team performance of the season, leaving all
the parents and supporters of a resurgent Pudsey team not wanting the season to
end and wondering what on earth they will now do on a Sunday morning. This
result was the seventh undefeated, which has seen Pudsey win four, draw three
and crucially draw two of the games against the two top teams in the league.
Man of the match: Sam Chippendale, great all round effort and performance.
Squad: Gavin Howarth, Thomas Gormley, Sam Swales, Sean Higgins, Elliott West,
Alex Bradley, Josh Greig, Josh Smith, Jake Swain, Bradley Jones, Sam
Chippendale, Thomas Baran, Jonathan Beck.
Pudsey Juniors continue their strong run at
the end of the season taking all three points from a strong Kippax team.

On a crisp and chilly Sunday morning Pudsey Juniors under 12s recorded
another victory and went six games undefeated in the league. Having last lost in
the league away against Kippax the whole Pudsey team knew they were going to
have a tough time of it and once again Kippax proved to be a strong well trained
outfit who played some very good football throughout this encounter. Pudsey
started on the back foot and it was all Kippax for the first fifteen minutes as
they played defence splitting passes and long balls through to their strikers
who came close on plenty of occasions and it was through some great goalkeeping
from Gavin Howarth that the scores were kept level. Pudsey did have a chance ten
minutes in when Sam Chippendale crossed to Alex Bradley who just failed to head
the ball home unchallenged at the far post. With twenty minutes on the clock
Kippax came close to scoring when they were awarded a free kick which was taken
well and just sailed over the bar. But five minutes from half time captain Josh
Smith picked up a great through ball from Alex Bradley and coolly slotted the
ball into the bottom corner of the post to give Pudsey a 1-0 lead at the break.
Pudsey returned to the field and had a dream start to the second half.
Substitute Thomas Baran found himself on goal, just shooting wide and from the
resultant goal kick the ball was picked up again by the Pudsey midfield who
pressed home another attack. Pudsey were awarded a corner and Will Sharp, as
ever, floated the ball right into the mix of things, Josh Greig pounced and
headed home to extended the Pudsey lead to 2-0 with only one minute on the
clock. Eight minutes in Thomas Baran once again found himself through on goal
only to shoot just wide, but two minutes later the Kippax number ten latched on
to a great defence splitting pass, firing home to take the score to 2-1. The
last twenty minutes saw Pudsey defending well with Sam Chippendale put into a
more defensive role and the whole team working hard for a well deserved victory
against a very good Kippax team. Next Sunday the team travels away to Amaranth
for the last game of the season and hopefully to continue with this right vein
of form at the end of a highly entertaining season.
Man of the match: Josh Smith great goal and great captain’s performance.

points away from home at Beeston Juniors.

Competition: Garforth Junior Football League U-12 division 2
Bright sunshine on a lovely spring day saw Pudsey
Juniors under 12s continue their great run of form going undefeated in five
league games. Both teams started quietly and rarely tested each other with the
Pudsey defence holding their line well. But fifteen minutes in, this encounter
sprang to life as the Pudsey attack managed to notch the first goal coming from
a goal kick from Sean Higgins which found the ever present Jake Swain who made a
great cross to the feet of Alex Bradley who shot powerfully to bulge the back of
the Beeston net. Moments later after two strong tackles in the Pudsey penalty
area the referee had no hesitation in awarding Beeston a penalty which the
resultant kick found the bottom corner of the goal well beyond the reach of the
Pudsey keeper Gavin Howarth to level the scores to 1-1. This goal gave the
Beeston team added hope and they played some of their best football of the game.
Yet Pudsey did manage further attacks in the first half as Josh Greig linked
well with Alex Bradley who crossed first to give Josh Smith a chance in front of
the goal only to be denied by the strong Beeston keeper and Bradley Jones also
nearly beat the keeper after yet another great cross from the in form Alex
Bradley.
Second half and Beeston returned to the field with added vigour and with a hope
of gaining something from this game, however, Pudsey stepped up their work rate
after an inspired half time talk from the manager. Five minutes in Sam Swales
went down after a heavy clash with one of the Beeston strikers and from the
resultant kick Jake Swain managed a shot which tested the keeper. Moments later
Pudsey were awarded a free kick which the ever reliable Sean Higgins managed to
find the feet of Will Sharp who scored a great goal hitting a floating ball
which dropped into the back of the net to give Pudsey the lead. Next to go down
after a heavy tackle was Josh Greig and the free kick once again found Will
Sharp who inspired by his first strike once again struck a similar ball which
just bounced of the top of the Beeston cross bar. The final goal of the game
came after yet another fantastic cross from Alex Bradley which a Beeston
defender had no choice but to try and clear, as he was under pressure from Josh
Smith, but his clearance found the back of his own net to give Pudsey a 3-1 lead
and all three points. The Pudsey manager praised the team for a great all round
team performance, hard work throughout and the defence working well together.
Man of the match: Alex Bradley great goal and great all round performance.

Pudsey Juniors Under 12s end Whitkirk’s 100%
winning run with hard fought draw
Pudsey Juniors U 12s 2
Whitkirk Wanderers 2
Date: 16 Mar 08
Competition: Garforth Junior Football League U-12 division 2
Pudsey played host to Whitkirk, who sat at the top of the table having won
all of their previous twelve league games. Pudsey started slowly but they
managed to break the deadlock on 8 minutes when Will Sharp played a perfectly
weighted through ball for Sam Chippendale to run on to from the right. Sam
powered through and slotted the ball past the Whitkirk keeper to give Pudsey the
lead.
Whitkirk then took control of the midfield and had more possession but it was
Pudsey who were denied the opportunity to extend their lead when the referee
missed a blatant handball in the Whitkirk area on 16 minutes. The ball was
cleared and within a minute Whitkirk were level. They broke down the left and
when the ball was knocked into the Pudsey 6-yard area an attempted clearance
bounced back off another player and ended up in the back of the net. Before the
disappointment of conceding the equaliser had sunk in Pudsey found themselves
2-1 down. A direct free kick was given to Whitkirk wide on the Pudsey right and
it was swung high into the top corner of the Pudsey goal. For the next few
minutes Pudsey were under pressure as Whitkirk kept coming forward but the
defence held firm.
On 24 minutes Sam Chippendale popped up on the left, shook off two defenders and
forced his way into the area. He smacked the ball past the keeper only to see it
come back off the bar and land safely for Whitkirk. Half-time 1-2
The second half started with Pudsey showing more determination as they won a
corner on the right in the first minute. Will Sharp floated the ball towards the
far post and Josh Smith headed down past the keeper and a defender on the line
to bring it level at 2-2. Five minutes later Gavin Haworth made a good save down
to his left and managed to hold onto the ball as the attackers closed in.
Pudsey improved on their first half performance as everyone battled away with
the opposition. Josh Greig, Josh Smith and Sam Chippendale all received
treatment as both sides tackled hard and, without any substitutes, Pudsey played
a quarter of the game with only 10 men. As the game wore on Whitkirk knocked
more and more long balls deep into the Pudsey half. Under pressure from the wind
and oncoming forwards Gavin Haworth came off his line time after time to
faultlessly collect the ball. The full time whistle went and Pudsey celebrated
becoming the first team to take a point from the league leaders. All credit to
the whole team for grinding out another great result.
Man of the match was awarded to Gavin Howarth in goal for excellent handling and
sweeping up behind the defence.

Pudsey Juniors U 12s 2
Date: 9 Mar 08
Competition: Garforth Junior Football League U-12 division 2
On a difficult rain sodden pitch both teams started this Garforth League
Division 2 encounter tentatively each testing one another and Stanningley got
the first break as their number seven found himself in front of goal only to hit
his shot well over the bar. Shortly after it was Pudsey’s turn to show their
skill as Sam Chippendale made a great defence splitting pass through to Josh
Smith who struck the ball well only to see it hit the bar and to bounce back to
the feet of Josh Greig who then just shot wide. What followed was some of the
best football of the game as Pudsey showed their class and strength as the
Stanningley defence found it difficult to cope with the pace of the Pudsey
midfield. But, Sean Higgins defended well as a Stanningley player broke through
and he showed his pace in tracking back to make a great tackle and then launch
the ball forward. With minutes to the break Pudsey played some great passing
football with Sam Swales passing out of defence to the industrious Josh Greig
who linked well with Jake Swain , Josh Smith and Thomas Baran who then made a
perfect pass to the feet of Sam Chippendale whose resultant strike once again
went just wide.
Playing up hill on a difficult pitch, on paper was always going to be in favour
of the home side and shortly after the break Stanningley were awarded the first
corner of the match but Gavin Howarth made a fantastic reaction save in the
Pudsey goal to deny Stanningley the opener. The ball then found Sam Chippendale
who once again showed his skill and pace as he took on the Stanningley defence
with a great individual run only to shoot just wide. Eight minutes in and Will
Sharp went down heavily which saw the return of captain Josh Smith who moments
later was involved in a goal mouth scramble with Josh Greig, but neither could
find the back of the net. Then Sam Chippendale found himself again through on
goal only to shoot agonisingly wide. As the Pudsey supporters began to think
that this encounter was going to end goal less Sam Swales headed out of defence
to the feet of Sam Chippendale who as ever ran passed the Stanningley midfield
and defence to then strike, finally scoring to send the rest of the players and
supporters delirious. With minutes left on the clock Pudsey were awarded a free
kick, up stepped in form Sean Higgins who struck the ball right into the danger
area and the resulting goal mouth scramble ended as Josh Greig found the back of
the net to make the score 2-0 and to give Pudsey all three well deserved points.
Man of the match: Sean Higgins great all round performance.

Juniors Under 12s gained another league point from top team Woodkirk.

Woodkirk Valley Wolves 2
Date: 2 Mar 08
Competition: Garforth Junior Football League U-12 division 2
In appalling wind swept conditions, with a severe cross wind plus missing key
players, on paper this was always going to be a difficult encounter for Pudsey
playing against promotion chasing joint top team Woodkirk. However, Pudsey
played one of their best battling performances of the season led by the
inspirational Josh Greig. Solid in defence, Thomas Gormley, Sam Swales, Sean
Higgins plus Elliott West with Gavin Howarth in goal all played well and
Woodkirk rarely threatened. With just eight minutes on the clock Pudsey were
awarded a corner, up stepped Sean Higgins and wind assisted he dropped the ball
into a perfect position for Jake Swain, who making his debut for Pudsey,
finished well through a crowd of players. Now with the wind in their sails
Pudsey played some of their best football and with ten minutes to the break the
best moment of the match came. Josh Greig intercepted a pass inside the Pudsey
half, showing great pace and skill he passed player after player until he
reached the edge of the Woodkirk box when he lined himself up to unleash a
superb shot to score what must be contender for goal of the season. Sam
Chippendale continued to threaten down the right and was heavily tackled,
limping off, with the rest of the Pudsey team, 2-0 up after the referee
indicated the end of the half.
The players earned well deserved praise from the Pudsey coaching staff for a
superb first half performance but Woodkirk were always going to come back. For
long periods Pudsey held well as a frustrated Woodkirk attack could not break
the defence, Jonathan Beck battling well just in front of the Pudsey line,
Thomas Baran playing some of his best football of the season worked well
creating chances for Alex Bradley and Sam Chippendale to take this encounter
beyond Woodkirk. But ten minutes into the second half Woodkirk got the break
they were after as their number 15 unleashed an unstoppable shot to take the
score to 2-1. The game now entered a different phase but Pudsey never gave in,
Sam Chippendale, Jake Swain with Alex Bradley up front all tried to gain the
advantage and Alex Bradley rode a fearsome two-footed tackle, which somehow the
referee failed to spot. Adding five minutes extra time and with only seconds
left on the clock Woodkirk were awarded a corner which was taken well and a
Woodkirk player reached the ball at the far post to head home from close range
to give them a valuable point but also to rob Pudsey of the full spoils of this
match. The referee indicated the end of the game and the Pudsey squad had shown
how much they have progressed since losing 5-1 to Woodkirk earlier in the
season.
Man of the match: Josh Greig for his excellent captains performance, his efforts
throughout and his fantastic individual goal.

league point on a soaking Sunday morning.

Date: 24 Feb 08
Competition: Garforth Junior Football League U-12 division 2
Just prior to the start of this mid table clash, the players, parents and
supporters of both teams were awarded with a soaking as the skies opened.
However, this did not dampen the spirits of the Pudsey team as they started this
encounter at pace, scoring what must be one of the fastest goals of the season,
for any team in the league, as Josh Smith finished well after a fantastic
through ball from Thomas Gormley to make the score 1-0. Pudsey continued to play
well with Sam Chippendale and Will Sharp starting to dominate and cause the
Colton midfield and defence all sorts of problems. But half way through the
first half Colton were awarded the first of many corner kicks, Pudsey failed to
clear and Colton found the back of the net via the hand of Elliott West to make
the score 1-1. More excitement followed as the Colton team started to play some
good passing football but Pudsey were rewarded late into the first half as Sam
Chippendale scored a superb goal from outside the right hand side of the box to
take the score to 2-1 at half time.
Having the usual passionate half time talk from the Pudsey manager and coach,
who warned of the dangers of conceding corners, the teams returned to the field,
both starting brightly as the rain stopped and the sun made a brief appearance.
After only a few minutes from the restart and as warned, Colton were awarded a
corner kick which again Pudsey failed to clear, the resulting kick ending up in
the back of the Pudsey net to take the scores to 2-2. Not to be outdone Pudsey
midfielder Will Sharp had a chance to make amends and he floated in a perfect
corner, to the front post, which a Colton defender headed in after pressure from
the Pudsey centre back Sam Swales to yet again give Pudsey the lead. Pudsey now
had the initiative and after a good through ball from substitute Bradley Jones,
Sam Chippendale was strongly tackled in the Colton box, but with calls from the
Pudsey players and supporters alike the referee did not award what could have
been a deciding penalty kick. From this moment the initiative shifted to the
Colton team who scored two quick goals, one of which was a well taken shot
followed by another goal mouth scramble and a defensive mistake to take the
score to 3-4 in favour of the away team. With only minutes left on the clock,
Will Sharp stepped up to take yet another corner kick, which swerved and floated
beyond the reach of the Colton keeper to award Pudsey with a well deserved point
in this very exciting and entertaining encounter.
Man of the match: Will Sharp for his hand in creating many chances and two of
the Pudsey goals.

Pudsey Juniors under 12s could have recorded their third league victory in a row
until they came across a determined and well organised Kippax team, the match
played out on a cold and damp Kippax pitch.
Pudsey nearly had a dream start as Sam Chippendale and Josh Smith opened up the
Kippax defence twenty seconds from the start of this encounter, causing the
Kippax keeper and defenders to scramble the ball away from their goal line. But
with the wind in their favour, Kippax started to dominate and the Pudsey defence
soon found out that they would have their work cut out throughout this game. Ten
minutes in Kippax were awarded a free kick close to the left hand touch line
just outside the box, Pudsey failed to make an effective wall and the well taken
free kick, straight into the heart of the Pudsey six yard box, hit the boot of
Sean Higgins and the back of the net. Five minutes later one of the Kippax
players found himself unmarked, just inside the Pudsey half and he hit the ball
which looped, floated and dropped just under the bar giving the Pudsey keeper,
Gavin Howarth, no chance of making a save, taking the score to 2-0. Another
captains goal gave Pudsey some hope as Josh Smith made the score 2-1 as he
slotted home after a well taken throw in from Will Sharp. Yet another moment of
miss fortune hit the Pudsey defence as a well taken cross found the head of
Elliott West and then the back of the Pudsey net to take the score to 3-1 in
favour of the home side.
After a rousing talk from Martin, the Pudsey manager, the team returned to the
field with a look of determination on their faces, but the worst happened as
Kippax score once more virtually sealing this encounter only four minutes after
the restart. Pudsey tried in vain to get back into this game and with only a few
minutes left on the clock Kippax once again pounced and scored, making it 5-1.
Sam Chippendale grabbed a late consolation goal taking the ball from the Kippax
keeper and coolly slotting home from two yards to take the score to 5-2,
however, this goal came far too late and Pudsey were left thinking how different
things could have been if they had scored in the first few moments of this
disappointing game.
Man of the match: Awarded to Thomas Gormley for his determination, effort and
passion to win.

Competition: Garforth Junior Football League U-12 division 2
Pudsey Juniors under 12s recorded their fourth win of the season on a windy and
blustery Crawshaw pitch, the final score reflecting the strong performance put
in by the home side.
The first quarter of the game was dominated by Pudsey who relentlessly attacked
the Tingley defence with Sam Chippendale, Josh Greig, Alex Bradley and Will
Sharp announcing their presence from the off. Only four minutes into this
encounter saw the first goal as Jonny Beck pounced on a corner kick from Will
Sharp. Seven minutes in Will Sharp opened his account after a great move from
defence to attack as Sam Swales passed through to Chippy who found the
industrious Sharp with a perfectly weighted pass. Moments later Pudsey were
awarded a penalty after Chippy was tripped in the box and Josh Smith came close
to making it three as his penalty kick rebounded of the bottom of the post. Will
Sharp then took his tally to two as he shot from just outside the box and the
Tingley keeper fumbled the ball across the line. Tingley never gave in and
during the last part of the first half they put together more attacks but never
really troubled Gavin Howarth in the Pudsey goal, with Elliott West, Sean
Higgins, Sam Swales and Thomas Gormley in defence.
After a half time talk from the manager plus the introduction of the
hard-working Thomas Baran, the Pudsey team returned to the field with a spring
in their tail and once again began to dominate this game. Soon striker Josh
Smiths patience was rewarded with a well taken goal after yet another perfectly
weight through ball from Chippy. Pudsey continued to attack and twenty minutes
into the half the ball found Sam Swales unmarked on the edge of the box and he
powered home a superb volley to score his first goal of the season. Five minutes
later Josh Smith scored his second goal of the day from yet another great corner
from Will Sharp. Finally Josh Greig, also scoring his first goal of the season,
fired home a well-deserved individual effort to make the score 7-0. The referee
indicated the end of this entertaining encounter and all the supporters and
coaching staff alike heaped praise on a true team performance and a fantastic
result for Pudsey Juniors Under 12s.

Competition: Garforth League Supplementary Cup 1st Round
Pudsey Juniors under 12s welcomed third division Vision to a blustery and damp
Crawshaw school pitch on what turned out to be an enormously entertaining and
very exciting morning of junior cup football.
The first half saw Pudsey play some of their best football all season and for
long periods Vision could not get out of their half. It was not long until the
pressure paid off and Pudsey were rewarded with a goal after 10 minutes when Sam
Chippendale headed home a well taken corner from Will Sharpe. The rest of the
half continued in the same vain with several chances created, all that was
missing was the finish at the end of some good moves. Pudsey nearly made it two
after a ball was cleared off the line which all the Pudsey players and
supporters alike claimed had gone over.
Vision were always going to come back and in the second half with the wind in
their favour they started to create more chances. Gavin Howarth in the Pudsey
goal with Thomas Gormley, Sam Swales, Sean Higgins and Elliott West in defence,
soon realised they would have their work cut out. However, Pudsey managed to
maintain the pressure but it was only after a mistake by the Pudsey defence in
failing to clear a ball in the six yard box that a Vision player was given the
opportunity to slot home an easy chance at the back post to level the score.
Vision now played with added vigour, relentlessly attacking the Pudsey goal and
it was a nervous twenty minutes before the referee blew for full time to take
this nail biting clash into extra time.
Two minutes into the first half of extra time Vision where awarded a free kick
on the edge of the box and the resultant kick started a goal mouth scramble
which ended when the ball somehow crossed the line to give Vision the lead.
Pudsey never gave in but relentless effort and determination did not create that
all important equaliser and after eighty minutes of hard work and some fantastic
football Pudsey Juniors Under 12s crashed out of the cup.
Man of the match was awarded to Jonathan Beck for his overall efforts in
midfield.
