Whitestar Rams Tournament Success

Beverley Whitestar Rams returned home from the 6^th annual Sproatley Football 6’s competition as worthy winners of the NFU U12 trophy.

The team won the day thanks to a 100% record and not conceding a single goal.  In game one Rams played out a nil nil draw against Westella & Willerby.  In an edgy game Jake Holmes was unlucky not to score from long range.  In game 2 Bottesford Intech from North Lincolnshire were the opponents, they had impressed in their first game.  After a tense 7 minutes Joe Wilson slotted home a great goal from long range to win the game.  Rams beat Withernsea by 4 goals to nil in game three to head the group.  Further victories were recorded against Sproatley Juniors, the tournament hosts, and Pinefleet.  There were some great goals for Beverley including fine individual goals from Dan Baillie and Tom Bruce.

Rams headed their group and took on Scholes Park Raiders from Scarborough in the semi final.  Rams started brightly and were soon ahead from Baillie.  Bruce and Wilson adding further goals interchanged by great defending for Beverley from Will Harrison and Joe Hird.  Nick Moody also went close.  Beverley keeper Lewis Richardson showed the way again keeping a clean sheet with some great saves.  Worthy of noting also the great passing between the midfield of Wilson, Holmes, Bruce and Moody.

And so to the final were Rams took on East Hull Boys whom knocked Beverley out at the Semis in 2010.  Beverley were solid and with great defensive cover from captain Will Harrison and a commanding performance from the keeper a single goal from Tom Bruce was enough for Beverley to be crowned champions.

Costello Dragons v Beverley Whitestar Rams.

Beverley Whitestar Rams had set an early season target to improve on last seasons finish in the Myton league and with a win in the final game of the season three points could elevate them to a 3^rd spot finish therefore the game meant everything to each player in the squad.  Beverley started the game well passing the ball around the field and generally keeping possession.  In an early move Beverley’s Joe Wilson and Ollie Baldwin combined well to set free Dan Baillie, his shot came back off the post but this was enough to spare on the team.  Beverley pressed and eventually they opened the scoring when Baillie found himself free on goal after great play from James Weldon and Tom Bruce. Beverley made it two when Baillie curled home a shot from the edge of the box following a great interchange from Ollie Baldwin and Joe Wilson.  In the second half Costello had a great spell and pressured Beverley, Costello were unlucky not to score when the striker found himself one on one with the keeper only for Lewis Richardson to pull off a great save.  Costello then scored from close range when the striker controlled a good cross.  Beverley regained their 2 goal cushion when Ollie Baldwin finished low into the net following a great run.  Costello replied almost from the kick-off to make it 3-2 but with 5 minutes of the game left Beverley steadied their ship when a super midfield ball from James Busby found striker Baillie on hand to net his hat-trick.  Beverley then defended with Centre backs Joe Hird, Will Harrison and Nick Moody solid for Beverley to hang on to a 4 – 2 victory and seal that all important 3^rd spot in the league.

Beverley Whitestar Rams v Hessle Rangers (Myton U12)

This was a close tussle with both teams showing plenty of commitment to gain a high league finish.  The pitch was hard from the unusual baking weather and this sapped the energy of both teams.  Hessle coped better with the high bouncing ball and capitalized when an up-field ball allowed the striker to spring the off-side trap and volley home for 1 nil.  Beverley then had to defend as Hessle attacked in waves.  Beverley Goal Keeper Lewis Richardson was on hand to save his team on a number of occasions.  In defence for Beverley Will Harrison and Joe Hird had terrific games a piece and swept up Hessle attacks well.  In the second half Tom Bruce and Ben Hearfield combined well on the flanks for Beverley and created chances.  Dan Baillie was on hand for Beverley deep in the second half to finish from the edge of the box to give Beverley a well deserved equaliser.  Beverley turned the screw in search of the winner but Hessle defended well and in the end both teams settled for the draw.  Final score 1 – 1.

Westella & Willerby v Beverley Whitestar Rams

Beverley Whitestar took on Westella and Willerby in a very tough Myton league game.  The first half was a midfield battle on a very hard pitch with very few chances.  Beverley's central midfielders Jake Holmes and James Busby fought for every ball.  Westella had the first chance when they broke the off side trap only for the striker to blaze over.  Beverley had a couple of half chances with Oli Baldwin and Dan Baillie working well up front.  Beverley's keeper Lewis Richardson was then called into action with a great double save to keep the scores level.  In the second half Westella took the game to Beverley who couldn't get out of there own half.  Ten minutes into the half Beverley broke the deadlock against the run of play when Jake Holmes played a long ball up field and Dan Baillie was first to react and lobbed the keeper from the edge of the box.  Beverley came into the game more after the goal and started passing the ball well.  Late in the game Beverley's keeper made another double save to keep his team in the lead.  Great determination from Beverley's defenders made sure they kept a clean sheet and won the game 1-0.

Beverley Whitestar Rams v Costello Dragons

Rams came to this game off the back of two losses on the spin.  The team had prepared for the game by a team training session at the beach on the day before.  This appeared to have done the trick for team confidence.  The team’s determination not to make this a third was evident as Beverley won the most of the opening twenty minutes.  Beverley took an early lead when a fine move involving Nick Moody and James Busby allowed Dan Baillie to nick one just in front of the keeper.  Costello regained their composure. For the closing period of the first half Costello were well on top.  From a good pass the striker cut in front of the keeper and drilled home to equalize.  In the second half good work for Beverley from Jake Holmes and Joe Wilson put Baillie through one on one with the keeper Rhys Gadd followed up and scored his first goal to put Beverley 2 – 1 ahead.  Goal of the day went to Costello when a loose ball was picked up from the outside of the box and volleyed back to pick the spot in the top corner to level the game.  Beverley then enjoyed a good spell of possession and a rejuvenated Tom Bruce created chances from the wing.  Ben Hearfield was unlucky not to score.  Dan Baillie grabbed two late goals for Beverley to leave the score 4 – 2.

DCSI Leopards v Beverley Whitestar Rams (Myton U12)

DCSI put on a terrific team performance to take all three points against a flat Beverley Whitestar Rams.  The game was won in the first half with DCSI taking control of the game being first to every ball and using the aerial ball to their advantage. Beverley had an early warning and when a midfield ball failed to be closed down a great lob was punched off the cross bar by the Rams keeper.  DCSI scored when a loose ball was drilled home from the outside of the area.  DCSI then kept possession of the ball well and stifled any opportunity Beverley created.  In the second half DCSI doubled their lead following a goal mouth scramble that saw the ball twice come off the post.  Beverley rallied and Ollie Baldwin scored a lovely goal to put his team back in the game.  DCSI pushed on and soon had a third when a ball was punched home at close range.  Beverley fort back and Baldwin scored a peach of a goal from distance, however, it was too little too late and DSCI ran out winners 3 – 2.

Beverley Whitestar Rams V Sproatley Juniors (Myton U12)

Sproatley took the game to Beverley and for the opening twenty minutes Sproatley looked the most likely to score using the wide pitch to their advantage.  Beverley had some strong chances but a well organised back four for Sproatley pushed the Beverley attack into mistakes and twice they were court offside.  Beverley added James Busby and he was able to bring more composure to the passing, from an angled forward pass by Busby he found Ollie Baldwin who controlled well and lobbed the ball over the advancing keeper to open the scoring.  Dan Baillie then added a second for Beverley when he latched onto a forward ball from Ben Hearfield to round the keeper and score.  In goal for Sproatley Alex Dale was terrific and he pulled off a string of fine saves to keep Sproatley in the game.  In the second half good work from Joe Wilson and James Mooney allowed Baillie in for his second.  Baillie had his hat trick with a low drive from the edge of the penalty box.  Beverley then had their defence to thank as Sproatley turned the screw in search of a goal, centre backs Dale Dennett and Joe Hird worked well, at right back Jake Holmes had a super game often getting the ball forward turning attack into defence.  Beverley’s man of the match was Captain Will Harrison who worked hard all game in the defence.  Sproatley got their reward for hard work following a goal mouth scramble.  Final score 4 – 1 to Beverley.

Skirlaugh v Beverley Whitestar Rams

Smashing, Super, Lovely Couple (of Goals!)

Beverley Whitestar continued their good league form taking a fine win off a strong Skirlaugh.  The game was well balanced and this ensured an entertaining and competitive match.  Skirlaugh created the better chances early in the game with Beverley twice clearing from their goal line.  Beverley played everything wide and capitalized with excellent running from Ben Hearfield and Tom Bruce.  Skirlaugh on the other hand were strong in the midfield.  Half time 0 – 0.  In the second half Beverley started strongly with centre forwards Ollie Baldwin and Dan Baillie were served up some good chances from James Weldon and Joe Wilson.  Skirlaugh won a couple of corners and piled the pressure on Beverley.  In defence for Beverley Joe Hird and Dale Dennett worked hard to combat any Skirlaugh attack, they were helped by Jake Holmes and Will Harrison.  Beverley had a good spell and when a good ball was pushed to Dan Baillie he struck a great goal to put Beverley into the lead.  Skirlaugh replied and were unlucky not to benefit from a few loose balls, Beverley goal keeper Lewis Richardson was in the thick of the action.  Beverley doubled their lead when Ollie Baldwin scored an almost mirror image goal of the first.  Beverley had to defend further but hung out for a clean sheet and a two nil victory.

Beverley Whitestar Rams v Bridlington Rangers

Weldon The Catalyst to Fine Beverley Win

Despite a heavy pitch both teams played a very entertaining first half.  Some silky passing skills from Beverley’s Joe Wilson and James Busby settled Beverley into the game.  Both teams battled well for the ball in midfield.  Beverley’s Tom Bruce got his team off to a flyer when he connected to a loose ball and sent in a cracking goal.  A second followed shortly after when Dan Baillie worked well with Ben Hearfield to play a great cross which ricocheted in.  Nick Moody added a third for Beverley with a super strike from the edge of the penalty area.  Bridlington rallied and took the game to Beverley.  For Bridlington Jacob Prince began to trouble the Beverley defence and he soon gained a reward for his hard work.  Half time 3 – 1 to Beverley.  In the second half Bridlington started strongly, for Beverley Will Harrison and Dale Dennett had to work hard in the heart of the defence.  Bridlington scored when a loose ball was hit in by the Beverley defender.  Beverley were then on the back foot but steadied after the introduction of James Weldon.  His calm play and good passing played the advantage back to Beverley.  Weldon was then on the score sheet mopping up a ball in the penalty box and scoring past a stranded keeper, he then added his second with a gem of a long shot.  Beverley were able to debut new defender Reece Gadd who was soon in the thick of the game.  Bridlington gained a goal back but in the closing stages Rams Dan Baillie added two fine strikers goals to leave the final score 7 – 3 to Beverley

Driffield Tigers v Beverley Whitestar Rams Myton U12

Beverley recorded a three nil victory over Driffield but were made to work very hard for their win.  In the first half Beverley had limited chances, Tom Bruce and James Mooney provided some great crosses for the centre forward pair of Dan Baillie and Ollie Baldwin to work from.  Unfortunately for Beverley they were unable to capitalize and it was Driffield who tested the Rams keeper Lewis Richardson from two good corners.  Beverley centre backs Dale Dennett and Joe Hird swept up and both had commanding performances to provide a solid defence for their team.  In the second half Nick Moody and Jake Holmes worked well for Beverley and with centre midfield James Busby they began to make progress.  Beverley scored when Joe Hird latched onto a corner ball and diverted the ball into the corner of the net.  Beverley doubled their advantage after good work by Will Harrison gave Dan Baillie a chance that he smashed home.  Driffield defended well and the Driffield keeper was at his best to deny Beverley a few chances.  Baillie grabbed his second and Beverly ’s third when a crossed ball was driven home.  Late in the game James Weldon for Beverley defended the midfield well but Driffield spurned their best chance to score when the Beverley keeper turned a great shot around the post.  Final score 3 nil to Beverley.

Beverley Whitestar Rams v Skirlaugh U12 Cup S/Final

A pulsating and very entertaining game of football was played by Beverley and Skirlaugh to decide who went to the cup final.  Both teams played the first half at such pace that the half time whistle came as a surprise to everyone.  Both teams played well in midfield and were strong in defence.  Both keepers were well defended but when called on both had important saves to keep their respective teams in the game.  Half time was 0 – 0.  In the second half Skirlaugh were allowed some freedom in midfield and began to benefit from being first to every loose ball.  At 15 minutes into the second half Beverley were undone when a high kicked ball sneaked in to the corner of the Beverley goal.  Skirlaugh then went on the offensive with confidence, encouraged by their first goal.  Beverley defended well with Will Harrison and Jake Holmes playing well for Beverley.  Beverley rallied and created chances from the wing with Joe Wilson going close to equalizing from a Dale Dennett cross.  As the game drew to a close another high ball was served toward the Beverley goal and as the loose ball bounced it fell to the feet of the Skirlaugh forward who put the game out of reach of Beverley.  Final score 2 nil to Skirlaugh.

Bridlington Rangers Chiefs v Beverley Whitestar Rams U12 K/O Cup Qrt-Final

Rams Edge into Cup Semi Final

A Dan Baillie hat trick for Beverley Rams edged them into the semi-final of the knock out cup but only after a titanic game with hosts Bridlington.  This game was originally due to be played on 21^st Nov but the bad weather had until now put pay to any chance of the game taking place.  Both teams looked rusty after such a long break and heavy pitch sapped the energy of the players.  The high ball swirled around in a vicious wind giving both defences trouble from any high ball.  Beverley opened the scoring when Ben Hearfield was set through on goal his tame shot deceived the keeper as it bobbled over the line.  Beverley then defended well as Bridlington attacked.  A Beverley back four of Dale Dennett, Joe Hird, Will Harrison and Nick Moody had plenty to do to keep out a lively Bridlington.  Close to half time Bridlington leveled when a loose ball was well sent home passed a stranded keeper.  In the second half both teams battled well, Beverley’s Jake Holmes and Tom Bruce had plenty of action in the midfield.  Bridlington had chances and an excellent ball into the box was tipped onto the cross bar by Rams keeper Lewis Richardson.  Bridlington took the lead from an excellent headed goal from a corner kick and then defended well until near to the end when Dan Baillie popped up to rescue the game for Beverley.  The extra time was just as captivating as the main game as Baillie scored early for Beverley from a good ball by James Busby.  Bridlington were then strong and equalized close on the end of the first half of extra time.  In the second phase Beverley used the wing well and James Mooney made some good runs.  Baillie grabbed his hat-trick when he found himself in plenty of room.  Bridlington battled until the final whistle but Beverley held firm to edge into the next round.  Final score 4-3 to Beverley (AET)

A competitive and entertaining game provided a 2 – 2 draw for Beverley and Skirlaugh.  The game was played at Leconfield Recreation Ground the new home for Beverley Whitestar Rams.  A good pitch allowed both teams the opportunity to pass the ball.  Beverley started well and following a series of moves they were unlucky not to take the lead when a strike hit the post.  Skirlaugh soaked up the pressure and then began to play good football.  From a wide break the ball was drilled home at an angle for one nil.  Skirlaugh then doubled their lead when a loose ball was expertly chipped over the keeper.  Beverley regained composure and from a Ben Hearfield cross ball Dan Baillie turned and finished into the net.  Into the second half Skirlaugh turned the screw and had the better opportunities.  Beverley won a corner and this was taken by Dale Dennett and Ollie Baldwin rose well to send the ball into the net to level the game.  Beverley then had to defend as Skirlaugh through everything at them looking for the win.  A number of goalmouth scrambles deep in the game saw Beverley keeper Lewis Richardson rise to the challenge and save his team.  In the finishing moments Tom Bruce broke down the wing for Beverley and nearly won the tie when his shot hit the post.  Final score 2 – 2.

Beverley Whitestar Rams lost their unbeaten run loosing two nil to Westella Juniors in a close and competitive game played at excellent facilities.  In the first half neither team could break the other down and both teams had chances.  In both cases a good defence was at the centre of clean sheets for either team.  In the second phase Westella started strongly and made impressive ground from the back four.  When required the Westella centre back pairing coped well with any Beverley threat and created chances for their forward line.  A high shot from the wing, well aimed for danger dipped down over the Beverley keeper to give Westella the lead.  Beverley re-gained composure and created chances, from another deep ball from midfield the Beverley keeper dealt well with the ball but the loose ball was turned in from an acute angle from good following up.  Beverley created more chances from the wing but could not break down a well organised Westella and the game ended two nil to Westella.

Beverley Whitestar Rams v Driffield Tigers Myton U12

This was a game of two halves played in poor weather conditions.  Both Beverley and Driffield should be commended for playing good football in the wet weather.  Both Keepers were excellent for their respective teams.  In the first half Driffield were quickest from the blocks and won many of the loose balls as the football zipped around the pitch.  From goal kicks Driffield were able to progress and were winning many headers.  Beverley had good spells but were unable to capitalize from set pieces.  Driffield won a corner after prolonged pressure and forced an error from the Beverley defence as a clearance header beat a stranded keeper for one nil.  Beverley made changes and added James Busby and Tom Bruce and this allowed the ball onto the wing.  Driffield ended the half one up.

Striker delight for Beverley Whitestar Rams as forwards Dan Baillie and Ollie Baldwin led the way with nine goals between them.  Beverley produced a great team performance to overcome a resilient Elloughton.  The game was even for the first 15 minutes and it was Elloughton who tackled well in the midfield and pushed forward.  Rams keeper Lewis Richardson had a commanding performance and dealt well with any early pressure.  Beverley lost Joe Wilson to injury but soon re-grouped and Dan Baillie made it one nil with a great lob.  Ollie Baldwin then broke loose and played a great ball to Baillie who netted his second.  Tom Bruce and Ben Hearfield were good for Beverley in the wide midfield and were creative.  From good work with James Mooney and Nick Moody Beverley set up Baldwin for two breakaway goals, strike partner Dan Baillie then added two further goals to enable Beverley to make it six nil before the break.  Elloughton never gave up the fight and early in the second half took the game to Beverley creating chances.  At the other end Elloughton defended well and the keeper played well to deal with the forward pressure.  Beverly ’s Dale Dennett played Ollie Baldwin on and he completed his hat-trick.  From a corner Beverley made it eight when Joe Hird was first to the ball and headed home.  Elloughton again rallied and then got there just reward scoring a great goal.  Beverley added two further goals from Jake Holmes and Dan Baillie and finished the game 10 – 1 winners.

Rams Battle for First Points

This was a terrific advert for U12 football.  Both teams were strong and played great football despite persistent rain.  In the opening fifteen minutes both teams were evenly matched and the match was end to end.  Westella were organised in midfield and made progress with clever forward balls.  Joe Hird and Will Harrison in defence for Beverley worked hard and slowly the tide turned in favour of the Rams.  Ben Hearfield tested Westella with a long range curler but it was Dan Baillie who scored from the edge of the area.  Beverley created more chances but Westella's keeper made some superb saves.  In the second half Westella started strongly and had Beverley on the back foot.  Luke Salas in the centre was strong and always a threat.  Beverley re-organised and added Nick Moody whom with Dale Dennett and James Busby began to get on top in the middle.  From A good exchange of passes between James Mooney and Dale Dennett Dan Baillie was set up with a great forward ball by Dennett and he lobbed the keeper to make it two nil to Beverley.  Ollie Baldwin and James Weldon came on for Beverley and after good work down the wing from Jake Holmes, Tom Bruce played a great ball to Baldwin who punched the ball into the corner of the net for three nil.  Late in the game Beverley keeper Lewis Richardson made two great saves and kept his defence calm with great hands on a slippery ball.  Beverley wrapped it up when Dale Dennett made a great run and slotted home under the keeper.  Final score 4 nil to Beverley Whitestar.

Beverley Whitestar Rams v East Riding Rangers B (Cup)

A strong and well organised East Riding team took on Whitestar Rams in the preliminary round of the U12 knock out cup.  In the opening quarter Beverley failed to gain any fluency in their passing, instead it was East Riding who used a well organised defence to play long balls that constantly lead to pressure.  Beverley’s own defence marshaled by Joe Hird and Will Harrision coped well.  Beverley weathered the early storm and then from a good kick out by keeper Lewis Richardson Tom Bruce beat his marker and whipped in a ball, goal bound before being adjudged off side.  Late in the half Beverley opened the scoring when Dale Dennett scored from the corner kick, a second was added when James Mooney linked well with Joe Wilson to provide Dan Baillie who finished well from an angle.  Beverley added Ben Hearfield and he had a great day taking four excellent goals the pick from a great move involving James Busby and Nick Moody.  Either side of that James Busby, Dale Dennett and Dan Baillie added further goals.  Beverley had work to do as the game closed and James Weldon, at right back, kept his team well defended.  East Riding won a penalty from a hand ball and this was well taken to leave the final score 9 – 1 to Beverley.

A late super strike from new striker Dan Bailiee was enough to see off a resilient Bridlington in this pre-season friendly.  An overall good team performance with plenty of strong points for the team to build on.  Rams also gave debuts to Joe Wilson and welcomed back returning midfielder James Busby.  Rams passed the ball well in the first spell working the ball well from keeper Lewis Richardson onto both wings.  Tom Bruce and Joe Wilson made progress along the flanks providing chances for Ben Hearfield and Dan Bailiee.  Will Harrison and Joe Hird had plenty to do as Bridlington found their feet and pressed for the opener.  From a good move involving Nick Moody then James Busby Bailiee let fly from distance his shot was parried by the keeper and Dale Dennett followed up well to put the team ahead.  Bridlington equalized when Chris Causier placed a great shot in the top corner just beating a well positioned keeper.  The game was then tight and both teams cancelled each other out.  James Weldon and James Mooney both had good games playing strong performances in the full back roll.  Deep in the game Lewis pushed out a great goal kick for Nick Moody to push on Dan Bailee scored with a lovely long volley dipping over the keeper.  Rams then had other chances and Ollie Baldwin playing wide midfield created more to work off.  Game finished 2 – 1 to Beverley.
