Such is Under 16 football that, being the final year of youth football in the York Mitchell Soccer League, this time of year sees teams who have played each other for 7 years pit their wits against each other for one final time. Pocklington and Fulford have had great matches over the years and both management teams have an underlying respect for each other's approach to football.

The strong winds returned to The Balk on Sunday afternoon as the Predators entertained Brooklyn, but fortunately so too did the home side's ability to play football on the floor which countered the conditions.

MARSHAL TYRES sponsored Pocklington recorded their first winning "double" of the season as they beat Brid Sports away last weekend in a gritty, hard working performance that made up in commitment from both sides what it was lacking in quality. That this was also only Pocks second clean sheet of the season, the other one also being a 1-0 home win against Brid back in August, said a lot about the defensive problems that Pock have had since then but this was a result that answered a lot of questions about the teams character on the day.

What makes Pocklington Predators efficient and effective is a simple pass and move game which unlocks defences, brings goals and wins matches. When this raison d’etre no longer resides within the team on a very cold and blustery Sunday afternoon, they struggle.

MARSHAL TYRES sponsored Pocklington's Humber team turned in one of their best performances of the season so far to record their first away win against a team that they have traditionally struggled to overcome at their ground. In doing so they had to put in a spirited and hard working performance, as well as overcome a torrential 15 minutes of rain that would have forced the abandonment of the match if it wasn't being played on an excellent 4G surface.

MARSHAL TYRES sponsored Pocklington's Humber team overcame a sticky pitch and competitive opponents to record their first win of 2014 after a fully committed and hard working performance at home last Saturday. Despite an enforced last minute team reshuffle, Town had plenty of attacking threat in their line up and led by a MOM performance from Tom Rogers in central midfield, they could have scored in the 2nd minute. Dan Bonehams pass played in Tom Reay behind the St. Andrews defence but he elected to shoot with the outstep and couldn't keep his effort on target.

YARA sponsored Pocklington 3rds got off to a good start at home last Saturday but were pegged back by Fulford and needed a solid second half defensive performance to record the win and bag a vital 3 points in their climb up the table and away from the bottom of the division. They went 2-0 ahead with first half goals from John Parsons and Alex Fletcher but after the Town defence were caught in possession trying to play their way out from the back, Fulford pulled one back to leave the game delicately balanced. A well delivered corner from Mark Sissons restored Towns 2 goal lead at half time but Fulford made it 3-2 early in the second half to ensure that the last 30 minutes were nervy ones. An excellent team defensive effort managed to frustate the visitors and ensured that Pock continue their improvement in form and they face another test at home to Tadcaster Magnets next Saturday. Players meet at 1pm for a 2 pm kick off please.
