United win the Plate at Ottery St Mary tournament!

This Sunday we attended the Ottery St Mary tournament. United Under 12s started slowly in their group but soon gained their composure and began to play some neat passing football. Goalkeeper, Lewis Alford, was in exceptional form making numerous superb saves. Owen Brady and Harry Bassett showed their versatility in playing well both in defence and attack. 

United qualified for the Plate semi-final and stepped up a gear with an excellent victory topped off by a wonderful dribble by Seb Harrison to set up debutante Tommy Foa who blasted it home. Exmouth faced Central United in the final and were 2-0 down before they knew it. However, they sensed hope in the second-half when Bryn Stephens sent a bullet header into the net to pull one back. With their tails up Exmouth pressed Central back and next it was Lewis Evans who poked in a shot from a Tom Price pass. With only 2 minutes to go it was Price who topped off a great performance by slotting in the winner from close-range.

Many thanks to the tournament hosts in Ottery - it was a friendly and well run event with good facilities.

Central City 1-4 Exmouth United - United clinch the double!

A fortnight after winning the Exeter Youth League Plate final Exmouth United Under 12s became Division 2 champions with a stylish 4-1 victory away at Central City.

Champions! Well done boys!

The match began very evenly with chances at both ends, the United glovesman Lewis Alford being called upon to make some fine saves. Full-back Tom Price and centre-back Owen Brady tracked back well and put in some excellent tackles to keep City at bay. It was United striker Kuba Strzalkowski who broke the deadlock when he worked an opening and struck a right footed screamer past the keeper.

After the break, Exmouth stepped up their passing and began to dominate. Jack Greaves was instrumental in supporting the attack from right-back and when Bryn Stephens struck the post Finn Glanfield kept a cool head to bury the rebound. Cayleb Field then released Strzalkowski who took on the defence, rounding the keeper and slotted in for his brace. Central never gave up and scored from a counter-attack but the victory was topped off by a Stephens shot from a tight angle to make it 4-1.

United top Division 2 with a goal difference of 55.

United Manager, Ag Stephens, said, "The players should be immensely proud of their achievements this season. Every member of the squad has made a massive contribution and have improved both individually and as a team. It's been a great season and we have had fantastic support from family and friends. We look forward to playing our football in the top division next season."

United win the Plate Final! Exmouth United 1-0 Sidmouth Warriors

Exmouth United Under 12s made it 11 wins in a row when they triumphed against Sidmouth Warriors to win the Exeter Youth League Plate final. Watched by a fantastic crowd of over 60 proud supporters, and wearing Dutch armbands in memory of Seb's mum Marjolijn Harrison, United rose to the occasion and showed outstanding character to clinch the victory at the Tiverton Town FC Ladysmead stadium.

Exmouth United heroes proudly display their trophies

Exmouth started strongly, linking up well and pressing Sidmouth back. Right-back Bryn Stephens demonstrated a range of excellent passing and twice released skillful striker Kuba Strzalkowski who came close to breaking the deadlock early on. Cool-headed duo Dylan Mogford and Harry Kifli-Reynolds led the defensive charge for Exmouth as they persistently snuffed out the danger with swift interceptions, quickly turning defence into attack with their neat passing.

Halfway through the first half a crucial moment came when the strong Sidmouth striker sped through towards the Exmouth goal. Somehow, Seb Harrison found the legs to get back and make a last ditch tackle and save his side. Going forward, flying winger Jay Leballeur terrorised the Sidmouth full-backs, combining superbly with Strzalkowski, Finn Glanfield and Lewis Evans to build attack after attack. Finally, the pressure told when midfield powerhouse Glanfield broke the deadlock - the ball fell to him on the edge of the box and he struck it beautifully into the corner of the net.

In the second half United remained positive and Cayleb Field fought hard up front against a well organised Sidmouth defence - twice he drifted into shooting positions and was unlucky not to increase the lead. Sidmouth piled on the pressure in their attempt to break United down. Harry Bassett showed great composure in central defence, repeatedly shutting down the threat and setting up the Exmouth counter-attack with some great passing. Owen Brady used his lightning pace and composure to stop the speedy Warriors striker from breaking through on goal. Tom Price was not fazed by the big occasion and refused to be beaten at full-back. He linked up well with Harrison on the wing - playing with great confidence.

At right-back Jack Greaves battled hard against the Warriors wingers and used his head to play some excellent passes. Midfielder Lewis Evans made countless blocks and headers to prevent Sidmouth from breaking through, and was potent when pushing forwards. Leballeur was very unfortunate not to make it 2-0 when his amazing right-footed strike clattered the opposition crossbar. Strzalkowski ran his heart out frightening the defence with his skill and pace, narrowly shooting wide when he broke through near the end. Between the sticks Lewis Alford was calmness personified - he made some superb saves and didn't put a foot wrong throughout the entire match. When the ref blew his whistle at full time a massive cheer was heard as United celebrated this fantastic victory.

West Exe Youth 1-8 Exmouth United: United seal promotion with a great win!

A superb team effort saw Exmouth United clinch promotion after their tenth win in a row! And just a point off securing the league.

They began against West Exe showing that they meant business - striker Bryn Stephens linking excellently with wingers Jay Leballeur and Kuba Strzalkowski from the very start. When Leballeur's free kick came to Stephens his shot put United in to the lead. Next it was Strzalkowski who stabbed in a rebound from a Stephens strike.

West Exe soon found a foothold in the match and created chances but midfielder Finn Glanfield gave them no time with his excellent tackling and keeper Lewis Alford was alert to any shots that came his way with some strong saves. Notable performances also came from full-backs Seb Harrison and Tom Price with two strong displays.

United Captain Dylan Mogford, known for his defensive work, was next to shine when he executed a perfect feint and slipped the ball to Lewis Evans who picked out the corner with a splendid strike. Mogford then produced some sublime skill to drift past 3 defenders and blast in with his left.

After half-time West Exe hit back with some good link-up play. Luckily for Exmouth, Leballeur then turned on the style and made it 5 with a wonderful solo effort down the left wing - skipping past two defenders and slotting past the goalie. Next it was Cayleb Field who struck with the outside of his right foot when set up by a nice turn from Stephens.

Seb Harrison made numerous marauding runs down the left wing with some exquisite skills and linked up well with his team mates in the middle. He created a number of opportunities and continued to feed Owen Brady who was promoted to striker from centre-back. Brady left it late before seizing his moment when he smashed in a right footed volley after setting himself up with a neat header.

Remarkably, it was not the last for Exmouth as keeper Leballeur ventured up front in the last minute and managed to score a superb effort from the edge of the box. Well played everyone!

Happy with promotion!

Copplestone Colts 0-3 Exmouth United

Exmouth United marched on to another victory away at Copplestone Colts to maintain their grip on top spot of the Exeter and District Youth League Under 12s Division 2.

Exmouth made a slow start and 5 minutes in had conceded a penalty when they handled the ball on the line. However, glovesman Lewis Alford watched the ball fly wide of his right-hand post and it remained all even. United soon grew into the game and began creating chances after some great link-up work on the right flank from Jack Greaves and Bryn Stephens. The match remained evenly poised and the next significant action involved a fantastic flying save from keeper Alford to frustrate the home side. Central defensive duo Dylan Mogford and Harry Kifli-Reynolds remained composed at the back and worked the ball well into midfield.

At half-time it remained 0-0, an evenly balanced game played by two quality sides. Exmouth continued their passing and started opening up the Colts defence. Their first chance was a superb give-and-go between Lewis Evans and Cayleb Field in which Evans' poke-shot sat tantalisingly on the line after hitting the post. A few minutes later the deadlock was broken when midfielder Finn Glanfield set up Evans who slotted the ball past the keeper from the right side of the area. United upped the pressure and their next joy came when left-winger Kuba Strzalkowski cut inside past two defenders before teeing up Jay Leballeur who dispatched a fine strike into the net.

Lewis Evans shoots at goal. He hit the post and scored in an excellent second-half performance.

Full-back Harry Bassett made some great runs to support the attack - linking up well with Stephens. The final goal came when Seb Harrison broke forward from central midfield and ran at a defender before releasing the perfect through-ball for attacker Cayleb Field. The striker hit a superb effort to make the net bulge and seal the 3-points.

The match was played in a friendly and competitive spirit. The players should be proud of their excellent attitudes, hard work and great football.

Exmouth United 2-1 Exeter Panthers

United came through a massive test as they ran out 2-1 victors at home against the impressive Exeter Panthers. The first half saw Panthers take the upper hand with some excellent passing football and they took the lead after 15 minutes. However, after a formation change United began to create chances and when Kuba Strzalkowski picked out Cayleb Field the striker made no mistake, rolling the ball onto his left foot and smashing it past the keeper. It was Field who struck the second after running through on goal and delivering a peach of a strike into the corner of the net.

The second half was a hard fought affair. Both teams gave 100% and battled for every ball. Panthers shaded the possession but some stand-out performances from defenders Tom Price, Owen Brady, Harry Bassett and Jack Greaves kept them at bay. This made it 8 wins in a row for United who go top of the table with this result.

Exmouth United 14-2 West Exe - Fantastic Four for Field!

Another superb demonstration of passing football and clinical finishing against West Exe made it 7 wins in a row in the league for Exmouth United.

In a largely one-sided match, ending 14 (fourteen) - 2, there were goals for Cayleb Field (4), Kuba Strzalkowski (3), Finn Glanfield (2), Lewis Evans, Seb Harrison, Jay Leballeur, Dylan Mogford and Tom Price. Exmouth's quality showed throughout with some highly impressive support play and defensive resolve from Harry Bassett, Harry Kifli-Reynolds, Jack Greaves, Bryn Stephens and Lewis Alford.

With too many chances to mention three performances deserve special attention. Firstly, Field (see photo) was outstanding with two goals in each half as well as two assists. Alford, normally positioned between the sticks, put in a masterful show at centre-mid orchestrating some excellent passing moves. Finally, Tom Price had a remarkable second-half including a spell as keeper during which he made a wonderful save from a West Exe free kick. He then pushed up front and struck a perfect left-footed shot to bag his first goal of the season!

Pink Panthers 1-6 Exmouth United

Yet another fantastic effort from Exmouth United saw them climb within one point of top spot in the Exeter Youth League Under 12s Division 2. Travelling away to Exeter Panthers the reds needed to demonstrate their character and commitment to make it 6 consecutive league wins.

United started well, creating chances from both wings and testing the excellent Panthers keeper on a number of occasions. The pressure told when Jay Leballeur scored directly from the corner spot - whipping in a superb right-foot curler. Moments later Leballeur turned provider when he delivered a flick-cross into the box where midfield dynamo Finn Glanfield was ready to smash it in. At the other end, Lewis Alford was called upon to make some important saves to keep the visitors ahead.

Cayleb Field and Lewis Evans also came close as United created chance after chance. Exmouth built their attacks from the back - with some exquisite link-up play down the right side between full-back Jack Greaves and winger Bryn Stephens. The next goal came when Stephens chipped through to Kuba Strzalkowski who blasted in with his right boot to make it 3-0 at half-time.

After the break, Exmouth were facing uphill but the solidity of the defence showed no signs of cracking. Owen Brady, Dylan Mogford and Harry Bassett all demonstrating why so few teams have been able to create clear-cut chances against them in recent weeks. The next goal followed some quick thinking from midfielder Lewis Evans who played a pin-point pass to Strzalkowski. The striker received the ball and, faced with the keeper, unselfishly offloaded for left-winger Seb Harrison to bury in the net.

United continued to pile on the pressure with some breathtaking football. Strzalkowski pounced like a tiger on to the rebound from a fierce Glanfield's strike to make it 5-0. Defender Kifli-Reynolds showed his all-round ability making a superb run up the right wing and delivering a threatening cross.

All afternoon, Evans had been causing the defence problems with his mesmerising skills and after hitting the woodwork twice it was fitting that he should cap off the victory with a splendid finish from the edge of the box.

Yet another demonstrate of the excellent team ethic being shown by United Under 12s. They continue to impress by playing quality football and working incredibly hard week after week!

Exmouth United 5-1 Copplestone Colts

Another mammoth performance from Exmouth United against Copplestone Colts made it seven victories in eight matches for the home side. Exmouth began slowly but soon began stringing together some neat passing moves. Defenders Dylan Mogford, Harry Kifli-Reynolds, Owen Brady and Jack Greaves all demonstrating confidence and composure in their link up play with the midfield. After some promising attacks it was Finn Glanfield who made the break when he played a quick one-two with Bryn Stephens and fired it over the keeper from 20 yards. Glanfield then had a header cleared off the line when he connected cleanly with a Stephens corner.

At half-time it was still tight and the next goal went to the Colts who closed down a long ball to equalise. United showed their character by going straight up the other end to re-take the lead; Stephens pushed up the right wing and put in a tricky cross that the keeper parried and Jay Leballeur was there to smash in the rebound. From then on Exmouth took complete control, some clinical passing led to striker Cayleb Field receiving outside the box and shooting to make it 3-1. Fellow striker Kuba Strzalkowski was next score when Greaves fed him in the area and the he buried it in the corner.

When Copplestone attacked they were matched by centre-back Harry Bassett, right-back Tom Price and goalkeeper Lewis Alford who put in a very mature performance for the home side. As the game came towards an end Seb Harrison picked up the ball on the right wing and swerved his way in and out of the visiting defence until he reached the 6-yard box. He squared unselfishly to Stephens whose shot was saved, Kifli-Reynolds seized on the loose ball but was charged down then it fell to Lewis Evans who smashed a right-foot belter into the top corner - a fitting end to a commanding performance!

West Hill Wasps 1-6 Exmouth United

Superb, outstanding, unstoppable and United! 

Once again Exmouth United came up with some wonderful football when they travelled to West Hill Wasps to face a team that knocked them out of the cup. Starting the match kicking uphill United began well with crisp and composed passing from back to front. It wasn't long before Finn Glanfield met a pass from Lewis Evans to unleash a fabulous drive that gave the keeper no chance. It was Evans again whose clearance set up Kuba Strzalkowski who ran through and shot to make it 2-0.

Meanwhile, West Hill showed promise up front and would have levelled if it wasn't for some excellent goalkeeping from Lewis Alford and a goal-line block from Owen Brady.

Exmouth stepped things up in the second half. Winger Bryn Stephens delivered an excellent corner and Evans rose to score a fantastic header into the corner of the net. Yet again the superb Evans drove down the left wing, beating two defenders, before cutting it back to Cayleb Field who passed the ball home for four. Next Stephens crossed another time and Evans bagged his second with a fine half-volley. For the last United goal Evans returned the favour and set up Stephens and struck it past the keeper.

Seb Harrison, Harry Bassett, Owen Brady, Tom Price, Jack Greaves, Harry Kifli-Reynolds and Dylan Mogford also contributed with some powerful defensive work and excellent passing.

Overall, another great performance from Exmouth with the stand-out effort from Lewis Evans with 4 assists and 2 goals.

Exmouth United at Paignton Futsal Finals

Well done to all the boys that attended the Paignton Futsal finals today. In the first two matches Exmouth took the lead and dominated. However, the opposition came back and both matches ended as 1-1 draws. In the last two matches United had to push forward and take more risks and were narrowly defeated. All the teams played impressive football and the our boys did not look out of place at all at the tournament.

Exmouth United 7-2 Pink Panthers

Exmouth United gave a breathtaking display as they thrashed the Pink Panthers 7-2 at Exmouth Cricket Club. After just 5 minutes, Kuba Strzalkowski flicked a throw-in past his marker, rounded him and raced through on goal. With no hesitation he entered the box and coolly smashed the ball into the top corner. The second goal followed shortly, as Strzalkowski slotted a pass to Finn Glanfield who cleanly passed his left foot shot into corner of the net. Having just come on the pitch, Bryn Stephens delivered a sweet cross from the right wing which Strzalkowski met with a perfect volley to net his second. The United work-rate was superb and centre-backs Dylan Mogford and Harry Kifli-Reynolds snuffed out the Panthers attackers brilliantly.

Harry Bassett and Tom Price were rock solid at full back and both demonstrated excellent passing and awareness when linking up with the midfield. The next goal came when Strzalkowski, in an emphatic mood, dribbled through and jabbed the ball into the goal to bag his hatrick. Just before half-time the Panthers got a goal back but the first half clearly belonged to the home side, both in terms of possession and the scoreline.

The second-half began with more of the same. The ball was played to Strzalkowski who performed some wizardry to out-skill the defence, turning and running through on goal. On approaching the keeper he squared unselfishly to Jay Leballeur who slotted into an open net. The Panthers got a second after a goal-mouth scramble but United came straight back when Leballeur hit a venomous strike that shook the net giving the goalie no chance. 

Cayleb Field and Jack Greaves kept up the excellent defence whilst also pushing up to support the attack when they could and Lewis Alford was strong between the sticks. Exmouth kept up the relentless pressure and created numerous good chances throughout the second-half. Their outstanding passing and movement was exhilarating to watch. Two stand-out moments were a perfectly weighted left-footed through-ball from Seb Harrison and a wonderful reverse pass from Lewis Evans. The latter set up Exmouth's final goal, in which Stephens' shot was deflected in. This superb performance has elevated United up to third in the league. Long may it continue.

Exmouth United 7-0 Broadclyst

Strong, adventurous and united are apt words to describe the Under 12s performance against Broadclyst this Saturday. The home side demonstrated their hunger and passion by pressing the visitors throughout the match and making sure that their quality prevailed.

In an excellent team performance it was striker Cayleb Field that created the breakthrough when he received in the box and was fouled to win a penalty. He dispatched the spot kick and United were ahead. Next it was winger Owen Brady making the difference. First, he won a tackle in the box which Jack Greaves latched on to making it 2-0. Then Brady found midfield maestro Dylan Mogford who shot passed the keeper. Brady's Bolt-like pace down the right wing was a continued threat. It was almost four when Kuba Strzalkowski made a superb run and squared for Jay Leballeur who struck just wide.

After the break Harry Bassett was calm on the edge of the box to assist Leballeur who tucked the ball in at the far post. Exmouth then raised their game and started littering the opposition goal with shots. Finn Glanfield, Mogford and Field hitting some outstanding strikes but the pick of the bunch came from centre-back Bryn Stephens who rattled the bar from outside the box.

Seb Harrison delivered a superb corner which Glanfield headed in to make it five. Then winger Lewis Evans, who had been running the defence ragged all day, scored the pick of the bunch when he dribbled past three defenders and smashed it in. The final goal came from another excellent corner that was coolly headed in by Mogford for his brace.

Although a quiet day in defence, Lewis Alford (goalkeeper), Harry Kifli-Reynolds and Tom Price didn't put a foot wrong at the back. Overall it was a superb exhibition of football from a confident team playing with a really professional attitude.

Exmouth United 6-3 Twyford Spartans

Exmouth United Under 12s went behind three times but fought back to beat the Twyford Spartans in a nine goal thriller.

In a fairly contested first-half both sides created chances but it was the visitors who went ahead when they intercepted a defensive clearance to score. However, it was the second-half in which the match sprang to life. Within 5 minutes striker Kuba Strzalkowski put Jay Leballeur through to draw level for United. Twyfords made it 2-1 with a well dispatched free-kick. Once again Strzalkowski set up Leballeur and it was all even. The Spartans took no time in pushing through the Exmouth defence to score a third. But, as before, Strzalkowski burst forward and created yet another great opportunity that Leballeur seized upon to grab his hat-trick.

United then took it up a gear and began creating chance after chance. Bryn Stephens put them ahead with a right-footed curling free-kick from outside the box. Meanwhile, at the back Harry Kifli-Reynolds and Dylan Mogford denied the Spartans any opportunity to break through their defensive line. The fifth goal was the pick of the bunch: Strzalkowski picked up the ball after defending a corner, pushed it past an opponent and began to sprint. He rounded another on the half-way line, pushed the ball past the last defender and slotted the ball home to complete the most remarkable solo effort. Five minutes later the striker produced another fantastic dribble and scored the sixth.

The match was refereed by an excellent young ref at the start of his career.

Exmouth United 1-3 Sidmouth Warriors

A mixed day for Exmouth in a match that started in the snow. The home team bossed the first half against Sidmouth and were well deserved leaders after Strzalkowski smashed home from inside the box. After the change, Exmouth were penned back by the visitors and that set the tone for the half. Sidmouth scored twice and, with United chasing an equaliser, grabbed a late third to make it 3-1.

Harrison's strike sends United into Plate final (Cullompton Tigers 0-2 Exmouth United)

On a sunny Winter's morning Exmouth United Under 12s sealed an Exeter Youth League Plate Final place with a resolute performance that saw them defeat Cullompton Tigers 2-0 away.

In a well-contested first-half the two sides sparred for possession with the boggy pitch demanding much of the players. Both teams thought they had taken the lead before the referee overruled - Exmouth brought back for a throw and Cullompton for an offside. 

Division 1 Cullompton showed their class playing some nice football but the United defensive back-line stayed strong, Harry Kifli-Reynolds and Bryn Stephens snuffing out a number of threats to their right. Going forward, United made some penetrating runs up the left wing, with Jay Leballeur and Kuba Strzalkowski terrorising the defence with their pace and skill.

United stepped up their energy after the re-start and pushed the Tigers back. The midfield - Seb Harrison, Finn Glanfield and Lewis Evans - were strong in the tackle and their combination of passing and skill began to make the difference. They got behind the Cullompton defence three times before Harrison made the breakthrough when he picked up a ball from Cayleb Field to hit a shot and then bury the rebound in the net. A few minutes later Strzalkowski out-paced the defence and struck home to make it 2-0.

Exmouth United U12s - a proud day!

The hosts continued to fight and United showed great unity to keep a clean sheet. Goaly Lewis Alford was fearless as he flung himself at the feet of oncoming strikers whilst full-backs Harry Bassett and Owen Brady refused to let the home side get the better of them. Up the other end Exmouth created more chances and Jack Greaves was unfortunate not to grab a third as his deft shot struck the post. Towards the end Exmouth shored up the defence with Tom Price and Dylan Mogford sitting in midfield and effectively shutting down any attempt by the hosts to play through the middle.

Exmouth came out worthy winners after a gritty performance in which their togetherness and hard work really made the difference. They will take a lot of confidence from this match and will look forward to the Plate final in May.

The Exmouth players wore armbands in memory of Marjolijn Harrison who recently passed away. She will be greatly missed by many in Exmouth and beyond.

Cranbrook Futsal tournament - great show by United!

We travelled to a Cranbrook for a local Futsal tournament today. Futsal is a high-tempo indoor 5-a-side format using a small ball - encouraging skill and quick passing. The eight man squad started with a high-press tactic against the Exeter Panthers. This worked a treat and they dominated the match to win 3-0. Straight after they took on Lympstone Lions and demonstrated some fantastic skill and passing to win 5-2. Next up was Cullompton Tigers, who United excelled against with a 5-0 victory. In the second round of matches United beat the Panthers 4-1 before coming up against Lympstone. This was the most testing match as the Lions went ahead and defended resolutely. However, Exmouth worked their way into the match and ended up as 3-1 victors. In the final match United made it a 100% record with a 3-0 win against Cullompton. To top it off their excellent keeper, Lewis Alford, came out of goal and scored with seconds to goal.

An outstanding performance from all the players, ending on a goal difference of +19 (23 for and 4 against). Well done to all those who played! Here are the players and their goal tally for the day. Lewis Alford (1), Dylan Mogford (2), Cayleb Field (2), Bryn Stephens (2), Finn Glanfield (5), Lewis Evans (1), Jay Leballeur (3) and Kuba Strzalkowski (7).

Twyford Spartans 2-4 Exmouth United

A crisp sunny January morning in Tiverton saw a highly entertaining match between Twyford Spartans and Exmouth United. The home side immediately got into gear and began passing the ball around expertly. However, Exmouth countered up the left when Seb Harrison beat his marker to slide the ball through to striker Kuba Strzalkowski who raced through to score. Within moments it was all square as Twyford passed it into the net from a cross. The Spartans then went ahead when a long shot crept in past the keeper. Jay Leballeur soon raced up the right wing to cross accurately to Strzalkowski who struck home for his second.

After half-time both teams continued to play some good football. United defended well and limited the chances and central midfielder Cayleb Field began pulling the strings with his calm and clever passing. Strzalkowski made some fantastic runs from within his own half and was rewarded with a hat-trick when Leballeur crossed again for him to score. Exmouth gained in confidence and created more opportunities with Bryn Stephens firing in a rebound to seal the victory 4-2.
