Alveston 6v2 Coventry Jaguar Youth Match Report 16 January 2011

Alveston under 11's continue to prosper in the Coventy league with an emphatic 6-2 victory over Coventy Jaguars. Playing at home for the first time in almost two months, Alveston dominated from the very first whistle, and were ahead after only 30 seconds, even though it was the away side who took the kick-off! Joe Vose put their fullback under pressure, and his poor clearance fell to Josh Humphriss who, form the edge of the area, struck a superb shot into the top corner, leaving the keeper stranded.

The home side soon doubled their lead when Jamie Stephens was first to react to a Joe Vose cross to steer the ball home. With barely five minutes gone, Alveston scored a third, some good work from Matty Rickett found Josh Humphriss at the right hand edge of the area. This time he cut inside and fired a left foot shot into the bottom corner. The home side were dominating with Roshen Foley and Billy Dingley both going close, so it was a surprise when Coventry Jaguar pulled one back through a mix up in the usually reliable home defence.

Alveston soon restored their advantage though when a half cleared corner fell to Matty Rickett, who fired in a superb 35 yard shot into the far corner, leaving the keeper with no chance. The away team pulled another goal back, before Josh Humphriss knocked in Alveston's 5th and his hat-trick when he was released by Billy Dingley and fired past the by now despondent keeper. The home side eased off in the second half, and the defensive unit of Dan Malone, Jake Greaves & Jordon Pace dealt with any threat, and the home side still had enough to extend their lead further, when a Matty Rickett free kick was spilled by the keeper and Alan Mackinnon was first to react to stroke the ball home.

How to find Alveston Juniors

Alveston Juniors play their home games at
The Home Guard Club
(near Beeches Walk) Main Street,
Tiddington
Stratford-upon-Avon CV37 7AY.

But many Sat Navs (using CV37 7AY) will plan a route through the centre of Stratford upon Avon as this post code does not find the ground with accuracy. As we all know, traffic can be busy in the town, so for the ten away clubs, it is use CV37 7AT or long/lat 52.201217,-1.672961 to find the ground, avoid the town centre and save time.

This route (from the A46) follows the A429 Barford bypass, past Charlcote Park (look out for the Reindeer) and into Tiddington. Journey time from the M40 Longbridge Island should be 12 minutes.
