AFC U10’s - The Only Way is Up!
On a very blustery day, AFC Dronfield’s Under 10’s were again
the shining lights, with many AFC and Sheffield FC teams failing to find
a full squad; injury and illness depleting their manpower and
potential.
U10's
AFC U10’s completed their season in style midweek to leave them out of reach in the table and safe in the knowledge of promotion this season. Wednesday saw them meet Chesterfield Town at home. In the first game AFC started as they meant to go on with goals from Ross Martin, Ed Marsden, Bradley Thompson, and a super free kick from Devrim Sacmagioglu. In the second game AFC continued to dominate with a hat trick from Alex Burke and further goals from Lawson Stayley, Sam Woods, Jack Roy and Nat Walters, netting his first ever for the club. Chesterfield managed some consolation with a late goal in response, but it was no doubt little solace.Final Score: AFC Dronfield 11 - Chesterfield 1. The following day saw U10’s at home against Killamarsh Dynamo’s who had pressed them to a close game back in February. AFC’s Jack Roy managed to put the boys in front, but two in response from Killamarsh left them trailing at the end of the first match. In the second U10’s made the most of their last game of the season with a steamroller of a onslaught; Ross Martin, Bradley Thompson and super-sub Lawson Stayley, claiming 2 goals each to cap an amazing 14 game unbeaten run for the young pretenders.Final Score: AFC Dronfield 7 - Killamarsh Dynamo’s 2.

U11's
AFC U11’s boys gave a another excellent performance, rattling promotion chasing Sheffield Sixes at home. The young team started with just 10 men and gave the opposition a run for their money pressing their defences in the opening half. Cameron Burke managed to pull a goal back for AFC in the 2nd half, but the boys tired against high-scoring Sixes with a fistful of substitutes under their belts.
Final Score: AFC Dronfield 1 - Sheffield Sixes 6

U12's
AFC U12’s were on form with a fine win away against Ecclesfield Red Rose to leave them in second place in the table and with three games left to plot, more than a pipe dream of promotion.
Final Score: Ecclesfield Red Rose 0 - AFC Dronfield 4

U13's
The result of the U13’s game against Aston Juniors away was in no way a sum of its parts. AFC, three men down due to injury, started too with just 10 men, however for the first 25 minutes AFC ran rings around the opposition, maintaining the gross of the possession. A bumble in defence put the home side one up at the break, but U13’s kept their heads up in the second session, narrowly missing chances to draw even. Aston however eventually wore down the squad, who lost a further man, Liam Goodall, ten minutes from time. Spectators and management applauded the boys even in defeat for their courageous performance.
Final Score: Aston Juniors 3 - AFC Dronfield 0.

U18's C
Sheffield FC U18’s C team took on Maltby at home; SFC fielding a bare 11 and Malby just ten men. Maltby took the lead just five minutes before the break, before top-scorer, Josh Hector, added another scalp to this belt with an equalizer. SFC keeper Ben Raynes kept the visitors at bay and their tally from rising higher, however a draw was probably the fairest result with both teams running on empty by match end.
Final Score: Sheffield FC U18’s C 1 - Maltby 1
