Stretford 16 Warrington 8 (M&D 14 & under)

A visit to Stretford the same day the Rugby World Cup final was played across the road at Old Trafford made it a difficult trip particularly for the referee who was late to arrive. Warrington again supplemented by 12 & under players due to too few 14 year olds being available started well with a goal from Luke Boardman. Warrington then moved in to the lead via a Stanley Mainwaring goal. Stretford hit back with two goal’s Emily Bowater was excluded and Streford scored a third goal at the end of the quarter. Not a bad start at 3-2 to Stretford.

In the second quarter Stretford started to dominate with six consecutive goals before Warrington scored a single goal in reply via Adam Farini. The quarter ended 8-3 to Stretford. In the third quarter Warrington were much improved although Stretford started well with another three goals but the excellent Molly Boniface-Ashton scored and then with 44 seconds left to play Stretford had a player excluded and Molly Boniface- Ashton again scored within  9 seconds of the exclusion. The quarter finished 9-5.

The fourth quarter started well for Warrington with a second goal from Luke Boardman. Stretford score but then received their sixth exclusion foul. Warrington did not convert the power play and Stretford went on the score four more goals before they had another player excluded. This time Molly Boniface-Ashton converted the chance the game finished 16-8. Although I wasn’t present at the game Streford’s No 2 scored nine goals and Warrington struggled to contain this excellent player. Stretford gave away seven exclusion fouls to Warrington’s one. Molly Boniface-Ashton excelled with four goals her hard work and dedication starting to pay dividends as with many of the 12 and under’s looking good for 2014.

Warrington’s players: - included Luke Atkinson, Adam Farini (1), Luke Boardman (2), Max Harrison, Ben Dailey, Emily Bowater, Matt Williams, Stanley Mainwaring (1), Molly Boniface-Ashton (4), Connor Lynch.

Royton 26 Warrington 5 (M&D 14 & under)

Whilst I was away on holiday when Warrington’s under 14 team visited Royton to take on an excellent Royton team in the Manchester and District League. Royton made up or players who train at Manchester RTC and contain some of the best 14 year olds in the country. They beat us 34-3 when we played them at home in May. Our team consisted of five 12 & under players plus five players who are 14 & under. Only Stanley Mainwaring is 14 this year and therefore top of the age group.

The referee did not attend so a Royton coach refereed the match not ideal! Royton started strongly with three goals but 12 year old boy’s player of the year Ben Dailey scored for Warrington. The quarter ended 3-1.

In the second quarter Stanley Mainwaring got Warrington off to an excellent start with a goal to make it 3-2. The score stayed at 3-2 until three minutes from the end when Royton score three quick goals. Two players were then excluded Luke Boardman and a Royton player both excluded for 20 seconds. Stanley Mainwaring then scored his second goal of the game to make it 6-3. In the final seconds Royton’s best player Ben Riding scored his second goal.

 

The third quarter turned into a Royton goal fest as Royton attacked the deep end with thirteen goals scored and Warrington replying with one goal from Stan Mainwaring. Royton’s had upped their game to another level and the quarter ended 20-4.

 

In the fourth quarter Royton continued to score and 12 year old girl’s player of the year Molly Boniface-Ashton scored a goal for Warrington. The game ended 26-5. My thanks to the players for their efforts particularly the 12 and under players who will have gained great experience from this game. In 2014 I expect our 14 & under team to be one of the stronger teams in the league. My thanks also to Nigel Dailey and Dr Alan Boyle for standing in as coach in my absence.

Warrington’s players: - included Luke Atkinson, Luke Boardman, Dom Richards, Max Harrison, Ben Dailey (1), Emily Bowater, Matt Williams, Stanley Mainwaring (3), Molly Boniface-Ashton (1), Connor Lynch.

What Is the Toughest Sport in the World?

What Is the Toughest Sport in the World?

BY CHRIS SIDDELL (CORRESPONDENT) ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2011

What is the toughest sport in the world?  It is a question that has been asked for a long time, and with the new NFL season starting and the Rugby World Cup underway, the age-old debate about which sport is the toughest in the world once again rages.

But football and rugby are not the only tough sports out there.

We take at look at the most brutal and unforgiving sports around, counting down to thetoughest sport in the world.  Forget about wild fan claims; it’s time to get scientific.

After careful consideration we have come up with six different categories that make a sport tough: speed, endurance, strength, agility, skill level and physicality.

Forget about the “my sport is tougher because we get hit harder” argument; this slideshow looks at sports that really are the toughest in the world.  Toughest to play, toughest to compete, toughest on the body. 

Each sport is given a rating out of 10 for all six attributes, and then the six scores are added together to give a final “toughness rating” out of 60 for each sport.  The higher the rating, the tougher the sport.

Using this method we can finally answer the much-asked question, “Which sport is the toughest in the world?”

What you are about to see is real toughness.

Warrington girls play in National Age Group Championships

Congratulations to Molly Boniface-Ashton and Emily Bowater who both played for Liverpool in the ASA National Age Groups at the weekend held at Manchester Aquatics Centre. I understand they both played very well and had plenty of time in the water. The girls finished in 3rd place, beating Crawley in the Bronze medal match.
In the groups stages they beat Sheffield and Tyldesley quite comfortably and tied with Paignton who went on to get silver against Manchester in the final. Liverpool lost to Manchester in the semi final. 

Royton 2 Warrington 13 (12&u)

Our 12 & under team continued their successful season as they visited Royton in the Bolton & District League. A small pool reduced in size by 25% and tiny goals made it difficult to score but that didn’t stop an ever improving Warrington side. Inform Dom Richards scored two quick goals at the start of the first half as Warrington attacked the shallow end. Molly Ashton who was losing her marker on just about every attack scored to make it 0-3 with less than two minutes gone. Royton’s No3 a real threat up front broke free to make it 1-3. Warrington were not phased and continued to score at will against a young Royton side. Daniel Farini scored a well taken goal as he improves leaps and bounds every game. Dom Richards then scored his third goal and Molly Ashton her second goal as the score board showed 1-6. Jake Williams who had just entered the fray nearly broke the net with a powerful shot to make it 1-7.  An excellent display not least by our defensive play as Ben Daily largely cancelled out any Royton attack and Luke Atkinson who blocked shots and mopped up any loose balls before often releasing a long pass with pin point accuracy.

The teams changed ends and Warrington looked forwards to attacking the deep end. Team talk was easy, more of the same please! Ben Daily joined the attack as he scored our first goal in the second half. Jake Williams again broke free and his powerful shot gave the keeper no chance.  Molly Ashton who was later praised by the referee for her excellent play scored her third goal soon after. Royton were then awarded a goal which appeared to most people to have hit the post and rebounded back into play. At 2-10 we didn’t contest too much and Royton later appeared to score a goal but it was not give. Often these incidents tend to even themselves out.  Dom Richards again scored another two goals to take his tally to five. Royton were restricted to one goal again and of note in defence Katie Bowater repeatedly intercepted Royton players and quickly turned defence into attack and will have another year in this age group in 2014. The final score 2-13 which truly reflected the game.

An excellent performance by our team which included:- Luke Atkinson (GK), Dom Richards (5), Katie Bowater, Daniel Farini (1), Ben Daily (1), Molly Ashton (4), Jake Williams (2).

Southport 6 Warrington 14 (Snr)

Warrington’s senior team visited Southport with a team depleted through illness and injury. The seven man team included two players from the 16 & under team Tim Mainwaring and Tom Costello. The game started with Warrington defending the deep end and the game was tight. Southport scored first but Andrew Burke equalised before Southport scored a second goal, the quarter ended 2-1. Warrington then attacked the deep end and started to play well with goals coming from Ian Musgrove (2) Chris Byrne (2), Peter Burke, Tom Costello, Martin Bosson and Tim Mainwaring. In fact every player in the team apart from goal keeper Lee Chadwick. Southport scored three goals and at half time Warrington lead 5-9. The third quarter was a little dull as no goals were scored but as Warrington defended the deep the team were satisfied with the 0-0. The final quarter Warrington concentrated on strong defence and quick counter attack. Three goals game from inform Ian Musgrove and two from Chris Byrne as Southport scored one consolation goal. The final score 6-14 was well deserved and Tim Mainwaring and Tom Costello played their full part in the victory with some excellent goals and selfless swimming off the ball.

 

Warringtons Team included Lee Chadwick, Ian Musgrove (5), Chris Byrne (4), Peter Burke (2), Tom Costello (1), Martin Bosson (1) and Tim Mainwaring (1)

Warrington's 12&u win silver medals at B & D final thriller.

After two convincing wins against Tyldesley and Royton, Warrington’s 12 & under team reach the Bolton and District final held at Broughton Pool at Salford. Playing the usual format for this age group, with 5 outfield players, plus a goal keeper with a shortened pitch and two halves of ten minutes.

Warrington started the game attacking the deep end. Warrington started well as Connor Lynch was left in marked on the arc and took his chance well. Bolton School with ten players soon equalised as they were allowed too much room by our defence. With less than two minutes played Bolton School scored again to make it 1-2. The game started to hot up with two exclusion fouls been given against Bolton School, unfortunately Warrington missed the chance to score on the power plays but looked the better team. With 6.33 shown on the clock Connor Lynch noticed the goal keeper off his line and executed a sublime lob shot into the Bolton School goal to make it 2-2. Two minutes later a fast break by Warrington and a quick ball to Molly Ashton and a really excellent goal. The organiser Geoff Holmes later said it was the best piece of play he had seen at this age and has said he will mention Molly by name in the Bolton & District report he was so impressed. The half finished 3-2 to Warrington and a really positive half time team talk.

The second half started well as Warrington were awarded a penalty. Ben Dailey calmly converted the penalty and Warrington were 4-2 up. However the score board showed 3-3 and it was latter discovered the match sheet incorrectly showed Bolton School being awarded the goal. From that point Warrington started to chase the game when actually we were 4-2 in the lead with five minutes to play. Possession was lost too easily on some occasions and Bolton School who are always very strong on the counter attack scored four goals in three minutes. Daniel Farini scored in the middle of the four goals and Ben Dailey had a goal disallowed. The final Bolton came with only 40 seconds left to play. The final score was 6-5 to Bolton School although the match sheet showed 7-4.

All eight players from Warrington worked really hard and at times played some excellent water polo particularly in the first 15 minutes. They were duly awarded their silver medals and now look forwards to completing the final games of the season, including Bolton School away!

Warrington’s Team included:- Luke Atkinson GK, Ben Dailey (1), Molly Boniface-Ashton (1), Connor Lynch (2), Daniel Farini (1), Katie Bowater, Dom Richards and Jake Williams.

Bridgefield Yellows 7 Warrington 3 (Snr)

Warrington seniors attended the Austin Rawlinson pool in the Liverpool & District League with some key players missing. Tom Hadley and James Williams were preparing for National League matches at the weekend. That gave some of our 16 & under team a chance to play at senior level. Some confusion on the fixture list meant out team arrived believing the match was due to start at 8.30pm when actually it was 8pm. We therefore started without a warm up with some players still arriving. Warrington were quickly 2-0 down but as more players arrived the team was strengthened.

In the second quarter Warrington scored via a goal from Ian Musgrove and Warrington defended the deep end robustly ensuring Bridgefield did not score. The quarter finished with Warrington trailing by one goal.

The third quarter started well for Warrington as they were awarded a penalty Ian Musgrove stepped up and calmly converted the penalty to bring the score to 2-2. Bridgefield scored again in the third quarter but Warrington felt that the game was still within reach  at 3-2.

The start of the final quarter started with a miss understanding in the Warrington defence which allowed an easy goal for Bridgefield and a score of 4-2. Martin Bosson playing his first game since Holland 2012 managed to break free a score a well taken goal. The score was back to 4-3 with five minutes still to play. One of Warrington strongest players Paul Wilkinson pulled up with a groin strain probably a result of no warm up, but the team continued to press hard to save the game but we became over committed up front and Bridgefield were strong on the counter attack scoring three goals in the last five minutes. The final score was a disappointing 7-3. Warrington have one match left this season and are due to play Southport away.

Warrington’s Team included Neil Musgrove, Tim Mainwaring, Martin Bosson (1), Chris Byrne, Dave Price, Paul Wilkinson, Josh Regan, Tom Costello, and Ian Musgrove (2).

Warrington 8 Stretford 17 (14&u)

A strong Stretford side visited Warrington in the Manchester & District League. Warrington had eleven players including Luke Atkinson (goal keeper), Molly Ashton, Ben Dailey and Daniel Farini who had just played their 12 and under match. Stretford scored first but Stanley Mainwaring equalised second’s later. Stretford scored again but then had a player excluded and Adam Farini duly converted the ‘man up’, back to 2-2. Stretford then scored four goals without reply as Warrington attacks broke down and Stretford hit back with fast counter attacks. The quarter ended 2-6.

The second quarter was more of the same as Stretford simply went on the counter attack and found players free on the Warrington 2 metre line. Stanley Mainwaring managed to pull one back but at he end of the quarter the score board showed Warrington 3 Stretford 11. Surely no way back from there.

The third quarter was a little more even as Warrington restricted Stretford to four goals and Jack Yates scoring for Warrington to bring the score to 4-15.

The final quarter saw Warrington improve significantly with Stanley Mainwaring scoring his third goal of the match followed quickly by his fourth goal. Stretford pulled two goals back but Warrington continued the recovery as Stanley Mainwaring scored his third of the quarter and fifth of the game. Adam Farini added another goal as Warrington won the quarter 4-2 but lost the game to an excellent Stretford team 8-17.

Warrington Team included Luke Atkinson, Stanley Mainwaring (5), Luke Boardman, Adam Farini (2), Max Harrison, Jack Yates (1), Molly Ashton, Emily Bowater, Matt Williams, Ben Dailey, and Daniel Farini.

Warrington 9 Royton 3 (12&u)

On Saturday 14th September Warrington took on Royton in the semi final of the Bolton & District Knockout competition. The new competition with some modified rules including a shortened pitch and six aside instead of seven players gives the 12 and under’s a real taste of a game scenario played over two 10 minute half’s. In the first half Warrington attacked the shallow which is difficult with intermediate goals and Royton’s tall goal keeper seem to fill the goals. Warrington were first off the mark with a goal from Molly Ashton within 20 seconds. Royton struck back quickly as some confusion in the Warrington defence Royton scored two goals. Ben Dailey equalised with three minutes to go but Warrington again let the Royton No3 loose who helped himself to his third goal.

At half time it was a case of keep calm close down No3 which Ben Dailey did admirably and sacrificed his normal centre forward position. It didn’t stop Ben Dailey from scoring his second goal after 20 seconds to bring the score to 3-3. That was the start of a Warrington goal feast with four goals in three minutes one from Connor Lynch and two from Dom Richards. It was going from bad to worse for Royton as they picked up an exclusion foul, Warrington did not convert the power play but not to worry they continued to attack relentlessly with Luke Atkinson often involved in clearing up in goal and passing quickly a long and accurate pass directly onto the hand of the Warrington attacker. This route one tactic paid dividends with two further goals for Connor Lynch and another for Dom Richards to make it a hat trick each for the two boys. Katie Bowater and Daniel Farini also played with great flare and determination as did the whole team to deny a single goal to Royton in the second half. The game finished 9-3 to Warrington.

In summary a great team performance and Warrington now look forwards to playing in the final at Broughton Pool on 4th October.

Warrington’s Team  included:- Luke Atkinson, Molly Ashton (1), Connor Lynch (3), Dominic Richards (3), Ben Dailey (2), Katie Bowater, Daniel Farini and Emma Horne

Bridgefield 18 Warrington 12 (14&u)

Warrington’s14 & under visited Liverpool Aquatic Centre with only four of the 14 & under team the remainder of the team made up of the 12 & under team. We had some late arrivals so Bridgefield loaned us a goal keeper for the first half of the match. The first quarter saw Bridgefield surge ahead with four quick goals following some slack marking in defence by Warrington. Ben Dailey playing at centre forward scored with 51 seconds left of the quarter but Bridgefield scored again as the quarter finished 5-1 to Bridgefield.

The second quarter started well with a goal from Ben Dailey, but again Warrington’s leaky defence continued as Bridgefield scored three goals without reply. Adam Farini used his powerful shot to pull one back and make it 8-3. Bridgefield scored again before the end of the quarter which ended 9-3.

 

 

 

In the third quarter Luke Atkinson dropped into goal. However Bridgefield scored first but Warrington started to link some passes together, the ever improving Connor Lynch scored his first goal, followed 21 seconds later by Ben Dailey scoring his hat trick goal. Bridgefield scored two more goals but then had a player excluded for 20 seconds but before the player had left the pitch Jack Yates had launched a shot from the 5m wing, not text book man up but they all count! In the final minute Ben Dailey added his fourth goal as Warrington won the quarter 4-3 but trailed 12-7 overall. We actually thought the score was 12-8 at this point and there are some discrepancies on the match sheet which suggested Warrington scored 4 goals in the second quarter not 2. The third quarter saw Warrington a much improved team in defence and attack.   In the final quarter Bridgefield scored first but Jack Yates scored again from 5 metres to bring the score to 13-8. Warrington scored again as Molly Ashton scored her first goal well deserved after working so hard for the team continuously stealing the ball in mid field and passing to allow others to score, that made it 13-9 and Warrington were growing in confidence. Bridgefield pulled one back but Ben Dailey scored his fifth goal. Again Bridgefield scored but Molly Ashton showed she has an eye for goal as she scored her second goal. Bridgefield scored three quick goals with their two strong players finished off the match strongly. Ben Dailey scored his sixth goal of the game which ended 18-12.   Warrington overall did well and particularly the 12 year old players who were playing against players two years older than them in some cases. A young team that will grow and develop over the coming months. Ben Dailey and Molly Ashton were Warrington’s best player’s.   Warrington’s Team  included:- Luke Atkinson, Molly Ashton (2), Connor Lynch (2), Dominic Richards, Luke Boardman, Jack Yates (2), Ben Dailey (6), Emily Bowater, Adam Farini (1).

Warrington 13 Port Sunlight 5 (Snr)

Eleven Warrington players took on Port Sunlight in the second phase of the Liverpool and District League. Warrington started well with goals from Andrew Burke and Tom Hadley before Port Sunlight scored a goal against the run of play. Warrington continued to attack the deep as Andrew Burke scored his second goal then Tim Mainwaring scored his second senior goal as his performances improve at senior level with every match. Warrington finished the quarter 5 -1 up.

In the second quarter Warrington scored only one goal as they attacked the shallow end to bring the score to 6-1 through a Tom Hadley goal.

In the third quarter Port Sunlight started well with a goal, before Warrington continued to enjoy attacking the deep end as further goals came from Peter Burke who had asked to play outfield for a quarter as Ian Musgrove went in goal, Peter Burke managed two goals in a quarter not bad for a goal keeper! A hat trick from Warrington’s best player Tom Hadley brought the score to 12-2.

In the final quarter Warrington defended the deep and there were signs Warrington had switched off and allowed Port Sunlight to score three goals as they made fast breaks into the Warrington 5 metre area. Tom Hadley scored his sixth goal of the game and the game concluded 13-5.

Warrington’s team included Peter Burke (2), Andrew Burke (2), James Williams, Tom Hadley (6), Dave Price, Tim Mainwaring (1), Ian Musgrove (1), Matt Webber, Tom Costello, Josh Regan and Chris Byrne.
