|
An away trip to Wrenthorpe saw the Mavericks digging deep, defend and attack well as honours were pretty much even for the firsty twenty minutes. Alex Cunliffe stood up strong and was in the right place at the right time to keep the scores level. Wrenthorpe soon found themselves two goals to the good, then soon made it three through a dubious offside decision. Great link up play saw Lewis Wigley, Luke Stephenson and William Pearce all go close. The Mavericks cut out their fair share of chances only to see everyone go begging. Some great corners from Luke Stephenson and throw ins from Jake Mansel put even more pressure on the Wrenthorpe keeper however, we simply could not convert our chances. At the other end Robbie Frostick, in the Mavericks goal had to be called on a few times and was quick off his line to keep the score down. Wrenthorpe however, did manage to get another two before being awarded a penalty only for Robbie Frostick to stop the shot. Wrenthorpe finished the game as inadequate marking allowed them to score again. Man of the Match - Robbie Frostick

27/11/2011 7 - 4 Win Against Wakefield Jets |
|
On what was probably one of the best pitches in the league, the Mavericks faced this away tie on a blustery autumn morning. Due to illnesses Ben Heeley was given a full debut. Having most of the early play the Mavericks applied the pressure on the Jets goal with Luke Stephenson and Ben Long both going close. Great work again from Ben Long saw him feed Lewis Wigley whose venomous shot was saved by the Jets goalie. It was Lewis Wigley who opened the scoring having been put through by Jake Mansel. Straight from the kick off the Jets were level when everybody watched them go straight through to equalise. Luke Stephenson's volley from the edge of the box extended the Mavericks lead. Ben Long fancied his chances from outside the box but it landed wrong side of the post. It was Jake Mansel who then sent the Mavericks 3 - 1 up when he ceased on a poor clearance to fire the ball home. William Pearce grabbed his first goal of the season shortly afterwards to put the Mavericks 4 - 1 up. At this point when we seemed to be coasting we hit the self destruct button and allowed the Jets to pull back the goals and draw up the scores. Great movement between Ben Long fed Lewis Wigley who in turn put Jake Mansel through to score what was a fantastic goal. This sent the Mavericks in at the break one goal up and settled the nerves. As the second half commenced the Mavericks pressed and pressed but at times needed the defending guide from Harry Mennell and Alex Cunliffe. A great throw in yet again from Jake Mansel to Lewis Wigley who put through Luke Stephenson whose shot went wide. It was Lewis Wigley who went close again with the Jets goalie knocking his shot against the bar. Great link up play between Tom Mason and Luke Stephenson saw Stephenson ease the pressure when he got his brace with the latter again who saw his effort bounce back off the post. Peter Morris was very close to opening his account when the Jets goalie saved his 25 yard effort. Lewis Wigley saw his cross role across the front of the Jets goal with nobody t Man of the match : A Cunliffe Goal Scorers : L Stephenson(3), J Mansel(2), W Pearce(1), L Wigley(1) Assists : J Mansel(1), W Pearce(1), L Stephenson(1), L Wigley(1), B Long(1) Saves Made : 9 Corners Won : 7 Corners Lost : 4 Attempt on Target : 24 Attempts Wide : 12 |

20/11/2011 2 - 7 Loss To Altofts Juniors Blacks |
|
Again two defensive mistakes saw the Mavericks behind early doors on a foggy Sunday afternoon. A quickly taken Mavericks free kick saw Lewis Wigley net however, the referee pulled it straight back and disallowed the goal. Honours were pretty much even as the Mavericks Harry Mennell and Marcus Lee put in solid defensive performances. George Hill went close with a 20 yard free kick before Altofts were awarded a penalty, for reasons I do no know why which sent them in 3 - 0 at half time. Altofts commenced the second half as they did in the first as they bombarded the Mavericks goal which saw Robbie Frostick dominant in his nets. Jake Mansel put Lewis Wigley through with the latter having a penalty awarded from which Luke Stephenson converted well. Numerous dubious deisions were made by the referee which seemed to aggravate the Mavericks players. The direct approach clearance from Robbie Frostick saw him put through Lewis Wigley to get a consolation goal for the Mavericks. Mavericks man of the match was awarded to Robbie Frostick again for a great display. REMEMBER GUYS AS HARD AS IT IS ALWAYS PLAY TO THE REFEREES WHISTLE EVEN IF YOU THINK THE DECISION IS WRONG BUT WE ALL HAD OUR DOUBTS AS TO WHERE DECISIONS CAME FROM TODAY Man of the match : R Frostick Goal Scorers : L Stephenson(1), L Wigley(1) Assists : R Frostick(1) Saves Made : 29 Corners Won : 6 Corners Lost : 2 Attempt on Target : 7 Attempts Wide : 7 |

13/11/2011 2 - 10 Loss To Barugh F C Greens |
|
The opening ten minutes of the game saw chances few and far between however, Barugh raced into a 2 - 0 lead but great work by William Pearce saw him put through Lewis Wigley to pull one back. It was Barugh who went in 3 - 1 up at the break with their heads up after hearing some of the Mavericks players bicker amongst themselves. As the second half commenced certain parts of the Mavericks defence collapsed as Barugh raced into an 8 - 1 lead. The Mavericks squandered many an opportunity went through one on one which could have really drawn the game back. The Mavericks did finally seize one of these opportunities when Lewis Wigley netted. However it was Barugh that ran out as 10 - 2 winners however, this could have been considerably more for Barugh had it not been for the Mavericks goal keeper and man of the match Robbie Frostick who pulled off some fantastic saves. IN MY EYES THIS GAME WAS LOST BY SILLY BICKERING AND NOT PLAYING AS A TEAM BUT WELL DONE FOR KEEPING GOING RIGHT TO THE FINAL WHISTLE.

Kicking up hill and against the wind on a pitch with a slope that bad it would be more suited to Eddie The Eagle, the Mavericks took on Ardsley Athletico.
