Riverside Rovers Under 10’s Blues v Oundle Juniors (01/10/11)
In temperatures more akin to July “The Blues” resumed their league campaign with a home match against Oundle Juniors. Alex Roe opened the scoring in the first couple of minutes with a close range effort. A second goal was scored by Kia Wood courtesy of a corner and Jude Bloodsworth finished a good move by adding a third just before half time.
Jude Bloodsworth scored a second goal monuments after the start of the second half. Due to the warm temperature the team was regularly rotated and all the squad was given an opportunity to play in different positions. Oundle Juniors pulled back a goal but Alex Roe scored his second goal of the game to make the final score 5.1 to “The Blues”.
Another good result with all the squad playing their part in an enjoyable game.

Our first evening match took place at Beaumont Way, Hampton on Tuesday 13th Sept. In very windy conditions Hampton FC scored first. With the advantage of the wind “The Blues” equalised when Theo Lewington scored with a close range shot after a series of good passing moves by our midfield and forwards.

Riverside Rovers Under 10’s Blue V Parkside Athletic Blue (10/09/2011)
On the 10/9/11 “The Blues” played their first game of the season at the Riverside Pavilion. Having played all our home games last season at Yaxley it was great to play on our own pitch.
The Blues started well by retaining possession and stretching Parkside’s defence. Our first goal was a close range effort by Jude Bloodsworth mid way through the first half. A second goal followed when Kai Wood ran from our midfield to shoot and score from distance. At half time the score was 2.0 to “The Blues”.
Within minutes of the second half Parkside pulled a goal back from a well taken corner. Having controlled the first half “The Blues” were now under constant pressure and our attacks were less frequent. The equaliser came after mid way through the half to leave the score 2.2 at full time.
Overall a game of 2 halves!
