Smithswood U9s 5 Bromsgrove Town Boys U9s 0. For 29 minutes of the first half, Town were the better team, and the final result flattered the winning side. Despite their domination, Bromsgrove produced only two shots on target, one by Wilson just before half-time, and one by McGuinness in the dying seconds of the match, both turned round the post by a fragile keeper. Goalkeeper Matthew Brunt was MoM. As Town pushed forward they were exposed at the back and Brunt pulled off some wonder saves to keep Town within striking range of the opposition.

Withymoor Colts West U7s 3 Bromsgrove Town U7s 1. This five-a-side friendly was a match Town would have won but for a brilliant performance by Colts' goalkeeper. Town, led by Max Galla in attack, were thwarted time and again, but Colts finishing on the break was ruthless and left Town trailing 3-0 at half time. Town were tighter in defence in the second half, but despite Billy Skinner hitting the post and having a free kick bravely saved, only managed to score once through an own-goal forced by good pressure from Matthew Arnold and Richard McGeown. MoM was Alex Sykes, for goalkeeping in the first half and great tackles in the second.
Withymoor Colts East U7s 5 Bromsgrove Town U7s 2.

Catshill Warriors U11s 10 Solihull Rovers U11s 0. This was Catshill's best performance of the season so far. Nat Cherrington set them on the way when he got to his feet after being tripped and converted the resulting penalty. Cherrington later went on to complete his hat-trick. Nick Ingram continued his amazing form, scoring another four goals, the pick was a right foot half volley which finished off a fantastic passing move. Daniel Evans got himself a brace, including a delightful left foot chip over the keeper, and Ben Judd scored with a long range left foot effort. Josh Cook, Steve Payne, Miles Dolphin, Aaron Foxall and Nick Hewston were water-tight in defence, backed up by the excellent Sam Hardman Smith in goal. MoM was Stuart Cottrell.
Hanbury U9s 2 Glebe Farm Colts U9s 3. Hanbury had most of the play in this match -- 23 corners but they couldn't turn them in to goals.

Hanbury U14s 3 Knowle A U14s 1. After a heavy loss three weeks ago against Knowle, Hanbury got revenge with a hard-fought three points. Aaron Sanders opened the scoring with his 12th goal of the season. And with Jordan Taylor getting the second five minutes later, Hanbury were in control. Knowle got one back on the stroke of half time. With keeper Trevor Walters in outstanding form, Knowle looked unlikely to score again.
