    YOUTH TEAM HELD

    Altrincham Youth were held to a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon in their NW Youth Alliance Premier Division league match. Their opponents, Morecambe, went ahead in the 31st minute, against the run of play, when they broke away following an Altrincham corner. Kieran Madden equalised with a well-taken goal three minutes later. But in a game played on a bumpy pitch in gusty winds, there was to be no further goal for either side. Report here.

    YOUTHS LOSE CUP FINAL IN DRAMATIC CIRCUMSTANCES

    At Moss Lane on Sunday, Altrincham & District FA Youth (comprising Altrincham FC's youth team) led Stockport & District FA 2-1 with the Cheshire County FA District Youth Cup Final into its 90th minute. Then, Alty failed to deal with a long ball up the middle which left Stockport's Needham running at goal. Altrincham goalkeeper Thorn brought the Stockport man down and was sent off, leaving centre-back Rory Bradbury to face a penalty. He almost stopped Hodgetts's spot-kick but the ball squirmed out of his grasp and over the line to send the game into extra time.

    Earlier, a below-par Altrincham should have taken advantage of Stockport having their left-back Manning sent off as early as the fifth minute, especially after Michael Linney had put Altrincham ahead in the 13th minute. But Michael Martin deservedly equalised for ten-man Stockport after 72 minutes before Dan Shaw seemed to have scored the winner for Altrincham, seven minutes later.

    Above: Michael Linney (no.10 in yellow) puts Altrincham 1-0 up.

    Then came the last-minute drama to send the game into ten-a-side for 30 extra minutes, with Alty having no specialist goalkeeper on the field. Nevertheless, Alty had the better of added time but a penalty shoot-out was needed to settle the game. Alty's Sheridan saw his spot kicked saved and Dominic Bates's penalty hit the post, leaving Stockport 4-3 winners.

    FIRST-TEAM DEBUT

    Alty Youth midfielder John Bennett made his debut for the Altrincham first team yesterday in the FA Cup at Mansfield Town. John came on ten minutes from the end of normal time and also played for the five minutes of added time. With the team already 3-0 down when he joined the game, it was a difficult situation in which to play but John performed well in front of a crowd of almost two and a half thousand. He is seen, right, coming on in the 80th minute at Field Mill.

They now travel to Vauxhall Motors in the next round, in a fortnight. Alty went ahead in the 42nd minute when their captain, Dan Shaw, finished well after good work from Bennett. But a minute later a 30-yard effort from Neill gave the visitors parity. Two minutes after the break, Smith sprang the offside trap to put Lairds ahead.

    Alty equalised in the 69th minute when Sheridan chased a seemingly lost cause to the by-line and laid the ball back for Linney to tap in as the Lairds defence failed to react. Shaw put Alty ahead nine minutes later. Put through by Linney he again finished well past the keeper. Five minutes from time substitute Joel Brownhill scored a superb goal from outside the box, the ball sailing into the top of the net after Shaw's pass found him in space. Report to follow.

    YOUTH PARADE

    At the Altrincham FC v Manchester United XI friendly last Tuesday, Altrincham FC Youth team displayed the trophy they won as divisional winners in the recent Umbro International Tournament, as seen above.


    1 August 2009

    YOUTHS WIN A TROPHY

    Altrincham FC Youth won their group in today's final stages of the Umbro International Tournament. After a 1-1 draw with USA side Salinas Sports, they beat the Isle of Man FA, 1-0 with goal from Rory Bradbury. A picture of manager George Heslop with the trophy awarded for their success is seen, right.

    In Friday's games at the Umbro International Tournament, Altrincham FC Youth's games ended as follows:

  • Stretford Victoria FC 2 Altrincham FC 0

    In this game, Altrincham were obliged to kick off early by the organizers which meant that two of the planned starters had to sit on the bench. Alty's Rory Bradbury saw a penalty saved, whilst Jamie Smart suffered a serious injury. Smart was penalised for a sliding tackle but he came off worse when the opponent's knee landed on the Alty man's head. Jamie was taken to Wythenshawe hospital, after a 12 minute delay on the bench, where a neck brace was applied. Fortunately he was later released from hospital but may now have to sit out tomorrow's games.

  • Altrincham FC 3 Downers Grove (USA) 0

    Alty's goals came from Alfred Kujabie, who netted twice, and Dan Shaw. The organizers had changed the rules to allow rolling substitutes which is of limited help to Altrincham who are now reduced to 14 players after Smart's injury and the unavailability of McAughtrie, Shaw, Millen and Whiteside.

    Tomorrow Altrincham play Californian side Salinas Soccer and then the Isle of Man FA. Alty are playing with a team of mainly 17 year-olds in an under-19 group, as there is no under-18 category.


    31 July 2009

    YOUTH CUP

    Altrincham Youth's FA Youth Cup Preliminary Round match against Daisy Hill will take place on Wednesday, September 9th at 7.45pm at Moss Lane. Admission will be £3 for adults and £1 for concessionaries.

    ALL CHANGE AT UMBRO

    Thursday's play in the Umbro International Tournament, in which Altrincham FC Youth are participating, was rained off. As a result, the whole competition has been revamped. All previous results have been expunged and Altrincham have been put in a new group, E, which comprises Alty and three other teams. The matches are as follows, all on pitch 9 at the University Playing Fields at Northenden:
  • Friday 31st July, 11.30am v Stretford Vics
  • Friday 31st July, 2.30pm v Downers Grove (USA)
  • Saturday 1st August, 11.30am v Salinas Soccer (California, USA)
  • Saturday 1st August, 1.30pm v Isle of Man FA

    A number of ex-Altrincham FC Youth players are also in the competition this year with other clubs. Andrew Jones is playing for Maine Road, along with Paul Cordock. Steven Crane is turning out for Old Alts whilst Chris Francis netted a hat-trick on Wednesday for Ashton Athletic. And when Alty's Phil Taylor was officiating at one of the matches, a call for a replacement linesman saw former Alty player Mick Farrelly answering the call. Mick's daughter was playing in the competition.


    30 July 2009

    UMBRO TOURNAMENT

    There is no under-18 category in the Umbro International football tournament taking place in Manchester this week. So Alty's team, many of whom are actually well under 18, have to play against under-19s. It is not surprising, therefore, that they found the going tough on the opening day of the tournament on Wednesday:
  • Altrincham FC Youth 0 FC United of Manchester 3
  • Allerton FC 0 Altrincham FC Youth 0
    26 July 2009

    YOUTH FRIENDLY

    Alty Youth drew 2-2 with Congleton Town Youth on Sunday afternoon at BTH. Without six of their players, who had been selected for the Cheshire County FA trials, Altrincham took an early lead but were pegged back by a late equalizer. Report here.

    Right: Alty's Millen makes a clearing header.
