Now we hear from the managers.......

Under 7 - Chris

" The Players of the month for April are Jack and Ollie.

Both have developed throughout the season.

Well done lads."

Under 8 - Matt

" Player of the month April

This goes to Joseph. Again, this month it could have been a number of players. Joseph stood out because he's been on a roller coaster journey in his time at Elsecar and he's taken me along for the ride too.

This has been by far his best spell and we need to acknowledge that. In training he's been a lot better with his focus and has helped me set up and pack away on a few occasions. During games he's been a completely different player.

He had stand out performances against Dronfield and Hoyland. His desire to win the ball and keep it, and then attack was great to see. He's delivered some great crosses too, and he's also scoring goals.

Hopefully JJ can keep this great attitude moving forwards and continue to believe in himself. Well done!!

Under 9 - Wayne

" With another successful month the U9s decided to award 2 players of the month.

Our first goes to a little pocket rocket who always tries his very best to achieve.

The way he flies up and down the pitch, putting a shift and half in very single time. He always has a positive attitude and a huge smile Well done to Eddie Beardmore!

Secondly, a lad who is honestly one of the kindest, most polite kids off the pitch but turns into an absolute power house on the pitch. The improvement this lad had made over this season is immense and he is what Elsecar Main is about - friendship. Our second player of the Month is Rex Gittins!

"

Under 10 Blues - Martin

" Our u10s Blues, player of the Month, goes to Archie!

What a run of games Archie has had this month, the improvement in a few aspects of his game is the reason he has earned this award , from taking things in training onto the pitch, bringing the right attitude to both games and training to simply taking on board advice and direction from us all.

Notably positioning advice from Martin playing Worksop, which carried over into the next games which is the great to see.

Well Done Archie from Martin, Andy and Paul. "

Under 10 Whites - John

" Our player of the month goes to Zac.

Over the last few months he has been working really hard in training and has been a rock in our defence, picking up player of the match awards .

Keep up the good work Zac.

Under 11 Whites - Lucy

Under 11's Blues - Richard

" Elsecar main u'11 blue April Player of the Month...

From not wanting to start a game and panicking on the ball to playing full matches and being fully composed as well as getting stuck in.

This lads confidence has grown massively over the last few months despite playing in various positions and taking the ball to his face so many times that I've lost count.

Reminder to get some kitchen roll for the kit bag.

This kid definitely deserves the player of the month Our number 10 James McCabe.

Well done, James

Under 12's - Richard
