Last week our Under 16 Girls took part in This Girl Kicks two day tournament. During the group stage the girls were 2-0 victors over Sunderland (Gidman x2), held Warwickshire to a 1-1 draw (Gidman), and then beat Shropshire 3-0 (Milligan, Sharp, Deeley) to secure their place in the final. The final was another fixture against Shropshire, with a tight game finishing 0-0. After a tense penalty shootout Staffordshire Under 16 Girls won on penalties 5-4 to hand them the trophy. A huge well done to all of the girls for this phenomenal achievement, which included 4 Staffs players named in the team of the tournament (Eva Rose Tankard, Ruby Gidman, Leila Tunstall, and Zuzanna Polomska). Coaches Rob Wakelin and Mark Wood were delighted with the team's peformances over the tournament, and would also like to thank Gary Barrell, This Girl Kicks, and Gloucester City AFC for their organisation and hospitality.

Following the conclusion of trials, Under 18 Boys Manager Mark Culverhouse has announced the following players are included in the squad to represent Staffordshire Schools' and Colleges' FA Under 18 Boys in the 2023-2024 season. A huge thanks to all of the players who trialled, and we wish those who were unsuccessful this time the best for this season. Well done to the following players: Jonty Kearns Harley Gray Tom Pochin Matt Tooley Jude Dale Jamie Maddox Brown Doug Hughes Archie Russel Joe Worley Ted Dawson Ben Hackett Charlie King Charlie Jones Dan Hughes Luca Taylor Mario Novaku George Lycett Jonah Scutt Zach Roberts Tom Taylor Staffordshire Under 14 Boys 2 - 1 West Midlands Under 14 Boys On Monday evening Staffordshire's Under 14 Boys travelled to West Midlands for their first competitive fixture of the season at Castle Vale Stadium. Staffordshire started on the front foot, pressing the West Midlands high in their own half as they struggled to deal with the intensity and physicality of Charlie Corrigan, Max Bailey and Jacob Shelley. Staffs pressure resulted in a corner after 15 minutes, and a smart header back across goal from Jude Wooton led to a goal mouth scramble before defender Lloyd Oebel-Marsh cooly slotted home to score his second goal in two games. In a dominant first half performance only missing a healthier lead, Sam Barratt-Meldrum and Harrison Lewis continued to stretch West Midlands down the left hand side, and Olly Stone came close to doubling the lead after another dazzling run in behind. After half-time West Midlands changed their shape which caused some issues for Staffordshire, and this time it was West Midlands who made the most out of a scrappy corner to equalise and make it 1-1 with about 25 minutes remaining. However, the immediate introduction of Leo Williams saw Staffordshire retake the lead; Leo won the ball, skipped past his man and unleashed an absolute rocket into the top corner from 25 yards out to make it 2-1. Whilst Staffordshire continued to look for a third goal that would finish the game, Addison Tranter was on hand to marshall the defence, Filip Ciurzak made a crucial save, and James Wesley worked tirelessly to extinguish any West Midlands progress. The game finished 2-1, handing Staffordshire their first win of the season. A huge thanks goes to our friends at West Midlands' CSFA for their kind welcome and hospitality, and to the parents/guardians of the players for their fantastic support. The Under 16 Boys coaches have named the following squad for Monday's fixture against Shropshire (23/10/2023, 7:00pm KO). Finlay Jones Toby Meakin Isaac Smart Stan Straw Leo Fortune Kerr Dollochin Siraaj Ahmed Kevin Acheampong Liam O’Brien Jordan Lipp Jude King Alfie Machin Harry McNevin Alfie Hancock Will Sutton Alfie Mason Eccleshall U18’s 2 - 9 Staffordshire County U16 Boys The first competitive game of the season for Staffs new U16 Boys team saw them playing a friendly away against Eccleshall U18 Boys MJPL team. Both teams started brightly but it took around 25 minutes before Alfie Hancock grabbed the first goal of what was to be a great night for him personally with a neat finish. Eccleshall then levelled shortly after with a fine long range effort that flew in off the post. Despite a lot of chances Staffs didn’t fully make the hosts pay until Alfie Hancock notched his 2nd and 3rd goals just before the break to settle the team down. The Coaches used the Half Time break to make 7 changes, utilising all of the squad members available on the night and giving County debuts to several new players who didn’t disappoint. The Staffs boys laid siege to the Eccleshall goal adding another six goals in the 2nd half, including a ‘second’ Hat-Trick from Alfie Hancock. Further goals from Tyler Draper and debut goals by Alfie Mason and a thumping header from Kerr Dollochin completed the goals for a rampant Staffs team with the hosts grabbing a late consolation. This was a good warm up game before next week’s Midlands Counties opener at home to holders Shropshire who will no doubt provide a stern test as always. Many thanks to Eccleshall for hosting the fixture and making everyone so welcome. Man of the Match went to Alfie Hancock for his 6 goals but there were some really good performances all round, especially Jude King and Siraaj Ahmed who caused problems for the Home side all game. Thanks to all Parents and supporters who came to watch what proved to be a highly entertaining game. Staffordshire Under 16 Girls 5 - 0 Derbyshire Under 16 Girls On Monday 16th October Staffordshire's Under 16 Girls welcomed Derbyshire to Stafford Town for the first competitive home fixture of the 2023-2024 season. Following a positive and upbeat warm up, Staffordshire pressed well from kick off and dominated the first encounters. Staffs had to be patient but a fine run from Ella Sharp through the Derbyshire defence resulted in a clinical finish to open the scoring. Soon after Grace McGinty was through on goal following a threaded ball in behind and finished smartly to make it 2-0. Despite Derbyshire's efforts, Staffordshire continued to dominate with Ella Sharp scoring her second goal of the game after another pinpoint through ball, making it 3-0 at half-time. The second half continued in a similar manner to the first, with Ella Sharp securing her hat-trick after 52 minutes to make it 4-0. An opening for Ella Louise allowed her to slot home cooly to make it 5-0 to Staffordshire before the final whistle. Manager Rob Wakelin and Head Coach Mark Wood would like to thank Derbyshire for the fixture and wish them the best of luck for the remainder of the season. Congratulations go to the Staffordshire girls on a fantastic start to the season, and thank you as ever to the parents and guardians for their excellent support.

High numbers in similar positions made some decisions exceptionally difficult, and all players in attendance last night should most definitely be nominated for U15 trials in July, as margins were very fine and can change! Details of next steps have been sent out to all those selected. Many thanks to all who attended the trial, and contributed to such an excellent standard on show.

Overall, 46 county representative fixtures took place across SSCFA's six teams. The Under 18 Boys winning the ESFA Inter-County Cup in such a thrilling manner at Stoke City FC was a fantastic end to the season for Staffordshire. The association's inter-schools competitions have continued to flourish this season, with increased numbers of schools taking part and with more teams entered across age groups for boys and girls. Congratulations go to all of the winning schools, which can be found in the schools competitions page. Of 13 finals, 11 of them were won by different schools, with each final very well supported by schools, friends, and families. I would like to put on record my thanks to the individual school teachers responsible for their sides who without them the inter school competitions would not run as smoothly as they do. Stafford Town FC were again our hosts for the vast majority of our home county fixtures, and our grateful thanks go to Paul Beedell and his team including the rangers who make us welcome and keep the facilities in superb condition, as mentioned by numerous teams visiting the ground. Two other grounds were used this season, with our thanks going to Terry Homer and his team at Brocton FC for making us welcome at the club, as well as thanks to all staff at Eccleshall FC for their warm welcome and hospitality. Staffordshire Schools and Colleges FA could not function without the tremendous teamwork and effort of all our team managers, coaches, volunteers and match officials, and I would like to thank them for their continued support in running the Association. We look forward to seeing you again next season for another action-packed schedule for our boys and girls representative teams, with trials for next season to begin in the coming weeks. As has been the case for many years, the only way players can attend trials is to be nominated by their school PE teacher, in which forms have already been sent out, although some schools have yet to return these. Wishing all of our players, parents and guardians, coaches, volunteers, officials and the wider community a relaxing summer as term comes to a close, with the Women's World Cup to look forward to in July and August. Under 18s manager Mark Culverhouse has provided the following match report after Sunday's thrilling national final victory against Sussex: Staffordshire CSFA Under 18 Boys 6 - 4 Sussex CSFA Under 18 Boys The first goal was a great cross from Charlie King that resulted in a missed clearance that was hammered in from close range by the on rushing Dan Hughes. The second goal came about with a slack pass from Sussex picked up on the edge of the area by Dan Hughes. He beat two players and finished from outside the box - a great finish after some neat footwork. The third goal was scored when a Charlie King corner came back off the crossbar for Doug Hughes to head in from close range. Not a bad start for the Hughes twins after 10 minutes. At half time Staffordshire led 3-0 and looked fairly comfortable having hit the post and cross bar as well. Sussex started the second half well and got back into the game with a great through ball for their centre forward to nip in between the two Staffordshire defenders, round the advancing keeper and neatly score from just inside the box. Sussex further reduced the deficit with a corner hit to the back post to be put away with a strong far post header to make it 3-2. Staffordshire then went really close to scoring and extending the league with Sam Scott narrowly missing having beaten the GK to the ball. However, Sussex got a third from a ball into the box set back to be drilled in from the penalty spot and then completely turned the game upside down with a goal directly from a corner that was caught on the wind. With only two minutes to go Mohit Naphray stole the ball in his own half. The ball was played forward to Rafferty Winnall who set it back to Naphray who plays a neat pass to Charlie King. King played a slide rule defence splitting pass for Winnall to finish in the bottom left corner to make it 4-4. In the 90th minute Dan Hughes hooks the ball forward for Winnall to run clean through and finish in the bottom right hand corner and spark absolute scenes with the team all celebrating in front of the camera. Unbelievably the goals hadn’t finished as from a long goal kick the ball was helped on to Jonah Scutt who fed Man of the Match Charlie King to run in and finish through one of the defenders legs. An amazing day. The Staffordshire lads showed a great spirit to fight back having thought they’d won the game, then lost only to actually win it right at the end. A day that will live long in the memory for players, coaches, family and friends.. Goal-scorers: 1-0 (3mins) Dan Hughes 2-0 (5 mins) Dan Hughes 3-0 (9 mins) Doug Hughes HT 3-0 3-1 (53) 3-2 (60) 3-3 (72) 3-4 (76) 4-4 (88) Rafferty Winnall 5-4 (90) Rafferty Winnall 6-4 (93) Charlie King Staffordshire Squad: GK Jonty Kearns - King Edwards Lichfield 2 - Tom Taylor - Chase Terrace Academy 3 - Finn Murray - Stafford College 4 - Doug Hughes - Wolgarston High School 5 - Jack Bostock (c) - King Edwards Lichfield 6 - Ben Hackett - The Weston Road Academy 7 - Charlie King - Blessed William Howard 8 - Dan Hughes - Wolgarston High School 9 - Jonah Scutt - Stafford College 10 - Mario Novaku - Codsall High School 11 - Will Finlay - Erasmus Darwin School 12 - Matty Steadman - Stafford College 14 - Ben Runacus - De Ferrers School 15 - Mohit Naphray - Codsall High School 16 - Sam Scott - Cardinal Griffin School 17 - Rafferty Winnall - Kingsmead High School Click the links below to see some images from a memorable day. Yesterday the Under 18 Boys from Staffordshire Schools and Colleges FA took on Sussex in the ESFA Inter-County National Final at Stoke City FC. The boys ended up triumphant following a thrilling 10 goal spectacle at the Bet365 Stadium. Having taken a 3-0 lead after 10 minutes, Staffordshire trailed 4-3 with only 2 minutes of the scheduled 90 remaining. Remarkably this did not phase the Under 18 Boys, who showed incredible spirit, heart, and determination to score 3 goals in quick succession. The final finished 6-4 to Staffordshire, culminating in spectacular celebrations from the boys and the Under 18 coaches Mark Culverhouse, Greg Valentine, and Matt Skinner. A huge congratulations from everyone at SSCFA to Staffordshire's Under 18 Boys and a massive thank you to all of the friends and families who have supported the team.

Monday evening saw Staffordshire Schools FA hold their first county trial ahead of the upcoming season. The Under 18 Boys trialled at Stafford Town FC and there was some excellent quality on show in our first ‘Covid-Secure’ return to football event. Those who attended the Under 18s trial on Monday are advised to keep an eye on their emails and the SSFA website for more information regarding squad selection or further trial updates. It is with thanks to the players, parents, coaches and volunteers for adhering to the guidelines as well as those at Stafford Town FC for allowing the evening to run smoothly and safely. This new way of normal must be continued to ensure the next set of trials for other age groups in the coming weeks also run safely. For a reminder of SSFA's Covid-Secure documents for our return to football, please click the link here. Staffordshire Schools FA are working hard to ensure a return to county football is safe ahead of the upcoming season. Trial information has been emailed out to PE staff and further information regarding trials will also be emailed to schools. Without a nomination from their school, players cannot trial! Staffordshire Schools FA look forward to welcoming back players and also getting to know new faces ahead of the upcoming season. It is advised that all players, parents and coaches read through the SSFA Covid-19 page by clicking the link here. From there you will find the list of Covid regulations and updates ahead of SSFA's return to football. Please note that the latest update from the government banning social gatherings of more than 6 people (from 14/09/2020) does not apply to organised team sports. Therefore, SSFA are still committed to a safe and Covid-secure return to football as planned ahead of the 2020/21 season. Please find attached arrangements for John's funeral and the link to the donations page. Please click the link below or paste the link into your URL bar to access the website page. It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the sad passing of John Appleby on Friday 7th August. As some of you know John had been ill for the last few months and bore his illness with great strength and dignity. Our condolences go out to Janine and his family. As yet no further details regarding funeral arrangements are known. Staffordshire SFA have called an end to season 19-20 due to the current pandemic. Teams who have reached the finals of the individual schools competitions will share the trophy and medals will be sent to schools when it is considered safe to do so. This is not a satisfactory conclusion to the season but the only one available and it is a model that has been used by the majority of the County associations nationwide. What the future holds in the short term nobody knows but the County Association is planning for a resumption of activities for next season. This of course could be delayed and may not even happen but if and when a resumption is allowed then Staffordshire SFA will be ready. Schools have been sent forms for entry into our individual schools competitions as well as nomination forms for the trials for the County sides next season. These have been duplicated below. It needs to made very clear that only teachers can nominate pupils for county trials, not clubs or parents. If there is a gifted and talented boy or girl who attends a school that is not actively involved in school football then the teacher in charge of PE needs to be approached to fill in the appropriate paperwork. Trials will only be held when it is safe to do so and unlike the past few seasons they will not be held prior to the autumn term. The County Association hopes that all involved are staying safe and following the guidelines of social distancing to ensure that all involved in our great game remain healthy. Below is the newsletter sent to schools today This coming bank holiday weekend would have seen a new chapter written into the long history of Staffordshire Schools Football. For the first time two teams had reached the finals of National competitions in the same season. The Under 18 Boys and the U16 Boys were due to play their finals at the Bet 365 stadium this weekend. The Under 18 Boys were due to meet Gloucestershire having negotiated their way through ties against Cheshire (5-0),South Yorkshire (4-2) and Lancashire (2-1) to set up their place in the final. The management team of Mark Culverhouse, Greg Valentine and Matt Skinner were looking forward to leading oiut an extremely talented group which included three internationals from this seasons ESFA U18 squad. Having already clinched the MCF title the boys were confident of putting on a good show to try and bring the U18 National title to Staffordshire for the first time. The Under 16 Boys were due to meet Bedfordshire having beaten Humberside (3-1), West Midlands (3-1) Cardiff and the Vale (4-1) and North Yorkshire (2-1) to earn their final tie. The team remained unbeaten this season and were looking to add a second title for managers Bailey Evans and Oz Rowley this time assisted by ex players Alex Minshull and Jack Bromfield.The majority of the squad have been together for three years and have been superb ambassadors for their schools. There may be some clarification regarding the future in the next few days but it is looking increasingly likely that these games will remain unplayed. There are far more important issues at this moment in time and when people are losing their lives football is but a trivial distraction. However in the years to come all of the players from all teams that would have played in the finals will look back at what they will regard as a missed opportunity and will always ask 'What might have been'. The MCF have finished the season as there is no chance of completion of the competitions due to the current situation with coronavirus. The championships have been awarded to the teams that topped the leagues when the suspension of the season happened in March. Staffordshire boys have performed outstandingly well with the U18, u16,and the U15 boys winning the titles and the U14 Boys finishing as runners up in their competition. All three winners were unbeaten and the U14 boys tasted defeat once to the Chanpions West Midlands who were worthy winners. The girls struggled to make an impact this season due to the RTC.s refusing to release girls for County matchess. Only a couple of sets of parents stood their ground and insisted that their daughters played County football for which the CSFA were very grateful.There will be a debate in the close season about the viability of continuing with girls representative football due to the facyt that counties who have RTC players available are so much stronger that they are totally dominant and can leave teams who do not have these players available at a distinct disadvantage. Parents committment to county football will be the key. The winners of the competitions can be found below; u14 boys - West Midlands u15 boys - Staffordshire u16 boys (east) - Lincolnshire u16 boys (west) - Staffordshire u18 boys - Staffordshire u16 girls - Shropshire u14 girls - West Midlands The U18 and U16 boys still await news of wether or not they will be playing in the national finala We at Staffordshire Schools'FA hope that all of or players, parents teachers are staying safe and following the government guidelines. It is very difficult and pretty boring but it is needs must and the more islolated from each other we are then the sooner we can hopefully emerge from these dark days. As a group we have to applaud and assist our NHS who are on the frontline with all of the inherent dangers, whilst we stay away from each other to help them in their quest to beat this virus. The Chairman of ESFA has released a statement which says that depending on the situation that the ESFA cup competitions will be completed wherever possible. That could mean them taking place in September so with our two teams that have reached the final there is hope that we may be able to play the games. Understandably we may have to ask for special consideration to be given to some players for a variety of different reasons. The County Schools FA will do the same with regard to our Individual schools competition again depending on the advice given by the government and the ESFA. You can only feel for those clubs who have had their seasons terminated, especially those who were certain of promotion but these are extraordinary times. Stay safe. Staffordshire Schools FA activity like all football has closed down because of the virus situation in the Uk. Now is a time for reflection and looking after oneself and family. No decisions have been made regarding what will happen regarding outstanding fixtures but there will be no activity before the end of April at the earliest. We hope that all of our players parents teachers and their loved ones remain safe and well . Following advice from the governing body and the government then all schools football under the jurisdiction of SSFA is now suspended until futher notice. This includes county representative teams and all individual schools cup competitions. Hopefully if we see some light at the end of this very dark tunnel then finals may be played in the summer term. The Staffordshire Schools FA hopes everyone stays safe and well. Information and news will be posted here when it becomes available. @staffsschoolsfa will allow all to follow what is going on and will supplement the information available on the website. Follow the account which is being run by Under 15 team Manager Bailey Evans.
