Proud of each and everyone of the boys.
Another experience for the boys today. Love how the club have included the boys in big moments along the cup run.
Just a little village team playing at Wembley.
Proud to be part of a brilliant day.
Didn’t go our way.
What
@marcusbowers89
has accomplished in his short time at Wakering in phenomenal.
A day we will never forget. 💚
Game of two halves today. Two uncharacteristic under hit passes
Back to our GK saw us 2-0 down at half time.
Great spirit from the boys got us back in the game and we managed to take all three points.
Massive well done to Luke on his third hatrick in three games. 🔥

Extremely proud of the boys today. Very professional, great to keep a clean sheet and score some cracking goals.
Thanks to Hashtag for a great semi final. They played lovely football with some outstanding players.
Onto the EJA cup final!!! 💚🟢💚🟢💚
Our county cup dreams come to an end in the semi final.
Extremely proud of the boys, depleted squad, 6 of the boys playing their second game of the day. Gave their all and went out trying to ply football.
Good luck to
@GraysU14EJA

Great day for the boys being ball boys for the FA vase 1/4 final.
What a win.
Congratulations
@marcusbowers89
& the lads. Looking forward to the semi final.
EJA Cup Quarter Final.
Great win for the boys into the semis.
Controlled the first half and were unlucky not out be out of sight.
Second half was end to end became a typical cup tie. We managed to play our way back into control of the game taking our chances to kill the game.
Been a tough couple of weeks. Lots of injuries & tough games.
Yesterday the boys were outstanding. Played as a team moved the ball really well. All worked hard for one another.
Topped off by two great GK displays from Oscar and Josh in the absence of Daniel.
Pleasing to get to the cup final. We have done it without conceding a goal so far.
Look forward to facing the brilliant
@BowersPitseaU12
Should be a another brilliant game between the two sides.
Great day celebrating our end of season awards.
Very fortunate to have coached this group last season.
Some will move on to new teams we wish them the best.
As a group we look to build on last season.
Over the moon to announce George has been signed by West Ham.
He has such a bright future in front of him.
We are now searching for an additional player to add to the squad once we are free to restart football.

Saw
@Ebouadams
for the first time in 2007. Bags of talent. A sight lack of confidence and self belief held him back.
Worked harder than any player I’ve coached. Really was 1st and last at training. Got picked up by a pro club at 18.
Lesson for all - keep working and believing.
Great experience for the boys to play over at Tottenham tonight. Unbelievable facilities.
Good learning experience of what is expected to make it to the next level.
Proud of the shift the boys put in today. Depleted squad. Gave their all vs a top class
@BowersEJA_U13
side.
Like all our games the past few years this was another cracker.
After a long season it draws to a close with the EJA Cup Final this Sunday at Billericay Town.
We look forward to a tough test. We have done all the prep we can.
Gutted for the injured boys who will miss out on the big day!
Final game of 2021 ended in a 7-5 win over the dads.
The dads showed the boys a new touch. Using the beer belly to control the ball.
Have a great Xmas and new year everyone!
Congratulations to
@BowersPitseaU12
on their cup final win.
Been a tough season, teams pulling out on us, lack of fixtures found it hard to find the rhythm we had last season.
Glad to see the back on 9aside football. Onto the next adventure.
Great day at
@GWColtsYFC
tournament. Really well run.
3 tournaments 3 finals...
No pens this time & finally a win.
19 goals scored by 6 different scorers was the highlight of the day.

@EssexCountyFA
Thanks to
@BowersEJA_U13
for their great hospitality today. Always a tough game. The standout game of the season for us. It will always be a cracker.
Team effort from the boys. Worked extremely hard out of possession. Took our chances.
Great Game tonight Vs
@SUFCYouth
Another chance for our boys to understand 11 v 11 format.
Great experience under the lights playing in front of a big crowd.
Always a cracker Vs
@BowersEJA_U13
Different type of game today. Tight and safe, unlike the high scoring games of the past.
Level at full time and extra time. We fell short on penalties.
Best of luck to Bowers in the next round.
First day back to training. Testing the boys for the pre season. Everyone gave their all.
Look forward to our first pre season fixture vs Colchester United Friday night.
County cup
We finally managed to win a penalty shoot out to make it into the semi final of the county cup.
3-1 up with 10 to play we let Takeley back into the tie with tired defending.
Please with the football we played start to finish today.
Onto another semi final.
What a great experience tonight was. We faced a sensational Tottenham side.
Spurs 4 Ensign 2.
Lots of positives to take from the game and learning points. Already looking forward to our next match against them.
Groundhog Day.
Played a year above ourselves at the

Dragons cup.
Got to the final without conceding a goal.
Drew the final 0-0.
Missed one pen. Lost on pens again.
Well done to Frinton on their win.
County Cup Last 8
Likely the toughest game outside of EJA football saw us face
@LevelsFc
Brilliant contest start to finish. Some very talented boys on show. We were outstanding start to finish. Got on rewards for good football and having to battle.
Onto the 1/4 finals
After a disruptive pre season of players missing, it was great to get the whole squad back together.
Always a great contest vs
@Billericay_FC
both teams left everything on the pitch.
Good to see the new faces get their first experience of playing at Burroughs Park.
Really enjoyable night against a big strong technical Chelsea side.
Both sides scored some cracking goals.
Ensign 6 - Chelsea 5
Two players are due to be invited back for a session with Chelsea.
Always a pleasure facing
@BowersEJA_U13
always a cracking game.
Massive shout out to the Bowers GK on his top draw save.
We unfortunately were second best across the park. We didn’t match our standards from the first two games of the season. Lots of good lessons to take away
Thanks to
@SUFCYouth
for bringing the boys over tonight. Another great game for our boys Vs brilliant technical players.
We also say goodbye to our Portuguese magician Leo who is moving to Portugal. What a star he has been for the team. He will be missed by all.
Thanks to May and Baker for hosting us this morning. Very good game of football. Extremely pleased with the application from the boys on and off the ball.
We move to Tuesday as we host

Well done lads.
Great Round Robin this morning. To get 35+ players and 4 teams out on Bank Holiday and Half Term weekend is an achievement.
We had half our term missing two players from the year below helping out.
Loved this move.
#keepitonthedeck
Thanks Nick, Lee & the boys at
@BTFCu12Blue
for a cracking game.
Certainly far from a boring 0-0. Some very talented boys on display. Looking forward to the return fixture.
Most pleasing of all today was seeing Jack back on the pitch after three months out.
@EJALeague
Big landmark for us since joining Ensign. In matches played (excluding tournaments) we have scored over 100 goals.
Today saw a few contenders for GOTM.
#100goals
Massive Thank you to Nick and the guys at Billericay for switching our game today.
Two sides who didn’t give each other an inch. Some top football & players on display today.
Best of luck for rest of the season.
Blew the cobwebs off this morning with a friendly vs

Also got the chance to hand out POTM and GOTM for July.
GOTM - Jack H
POTM - Charlie and Daniel joint winners
Our JPL fixtures are out. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
We welcome Arsenal in our opening fixture followed by travelling to West Ham week 2.
Great opportunity for our boys to play some differnt players and teams. Solve differnt problems.
Lets go...
Nothing better than watching two sides who want to keep the ball and play football
@ConcordRangersY
your under 9s & Rich are a credit to your club.
This move is what our team is all above. Passing moving and communicating
🧤 GK appreciation 🧤
This plus a couple of others today took the pressure off his team mates.
Only in his second season as a GK.
(If you count last season as a full season.)
Daniel has taken to the job really well.

Played the occasion rather than the match today. Had enough chances to win three games. Nice to keep a clean sheet.
Pens are always a gamble. Glad we came out on top this time.
We move into the semi finals of the league cup.
First game at home since last November.
Didn’t take our chances we created first half.
Second we moved the ball well and took our chances. Pleased to get another clean sheet at home.
Best of all we saw Charlie C back on the pitch after 4 months out.
Great to have Chris back with the group tonight. Hopefully we will see him on the pitch again this season.
Good run out for the boys in training. Thanks to C1 Coaching for bringing a group over to play us.
Never a easy fixture for us
@CanveyEja
battle from first to last minute. Tough conditions made it a scrappier game than usual free flowing football we see from both teams.
Team spirit was top draw from the whole squad.
Look forward to the return fixture next Wednesday.
Outstanding display from the boys this morning against a very strong Leigh Ramblers team.
The best football we have played all year.
Some of the goals were 🔥🔥🔥
Good all round team performance this morning. Huge credit to Concord playing up a year. A very good side who played fantastic football.
We move into the quarter finals of the cup.
Massive thank you to our sponsors for our winter jackets.
@Icebergdigital
Great morning of football.
Three excellent footballing teams. Great facility to use. Thanks to
@RichRobbo9
@ConcordRangersY
for hosting us.
Lots of goals scored.
White Ensign Vs West Ham Performance Academy.
Back to 7 a side. On a small pitch against very good players. Really good learning experience for our boys.
Both sets of boys moved the ball really well.
The individual ball mastery was 🔥🔥🔥
⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴
Boys got their medals today.
We say goodbye to three great players
Kian and Leo who are moving to Southend Manor.
Kaya - who is moving to Spain. Been with us since the first game. A brilliant player & friend. We are gutted to see you go.
Tough game vs a very good Leigh Ramblers side today.
Didn’t get anywhere near our standards we set. Lots of lessons taken.
Managed to claw back a draw with the last kick of the game.
Brilliant to be back in training tonight. Couple of light drills, then 45 minutes playing a match. No coaching, just letting them play.
It was great to see them all together.
Great afternoon match vs Hullbridge. Enjoyed testing ourselves vs a new side.
After the game we managed to finally hand out the awards from last season.
Been a tough start to the season playing three top sides. Proud of the boys application.
Thank you to
@leigh_ejau13
for having us over this morning.
Another good fixture between the two sides.
Not sure about the subs using the umbrella.
#thegamehasgone
😉
Very proud of our boys today.
Made it all the way to the final without a sub. Today unfortunately wasn’t our day. We drew the final 0-0 and lost on pens 1-0 to a expectational Braintree side.
We go again tomorrow.
So proud of our boys today, no keeper, two out field boys jumped in between the sticks to do a half each.
2-1 loss to a great Leigh Ramblers team, means we finish the mini season as joint league winners with Bowers.
Congratulations to both sets of boys fully deserved. 🏆🥇🏆
What a great game for the U9s & U10s boys to be part of. 4-1 win in the FA Vase for
@EnsignOfficial
Sat in the dugout, trained on the pitch, Walked out with the players.
Thanks to
@leigh_ejau13
for their hospitality today. Cracking set up and a top side. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
Confident performance today for the boys, topped off with another clean sheet.
Pick of the goals today was Chris with a cracker on his weaker foot.
Great getting most of the squad together last night.
A brilliant first season in EJA football. The development we have shown has surpassed all expectations.
Looking forward to our trip to Boots and Laces tomorrow to face Southend United.
Tonight we travelled to Chlemsford to face a talent
@ChelseaFC
TIC squad.
Very impressed with our football. Communication improved in and out of possession.
These development games teach us so much about our squad.
Some of the goals were 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very enjoyable match this morning Vs Hullbridge.
Nice to see both teams use their GKs as a extra outfield player. Some great spells of footballl both sides.
Thanks May & Baker for a cracking cup tie. Both sets of players gave their all in tough conditions.
Lots of lessons for us to take away.
Onto the county cup next week.
#RememberanceDay2023
Our Charlie is off to Germany on tour with Southend United Academy in January.
He has to sing an initiation song. Have you got any recommendations?
Think you could be our next superstar? We are currently holding open training sessions for new players

Great morning of football Vs
@onlyoneMrB
excellent
@BP_YFC
side.
The game had it all, great passing moves, skills, tackles, goals and saves.
Looking forward to the next game.
My first ever 0-0 in youth football. We didn’t earn the right to play football. Lacked quality in the final third. Rushed in possession.
Well played to Rams who were brilliant out of possession. Both keepers and defences did well.
Lots to take away from the game!
Great performance from the boys tonight Vs
@AcademyIpswich
pleased with a second clean sheet in three days.
Massive thank you to
@Kaufers7
& Alan for inviting us in.
Back to league action Sunday with a thought test vs a very Strong Grays side.
Fantastic evening at our race night. We managed to raise lots of glasses and 2K for our end of season tour.
Massive thank you to all the families for attending and being so generous. Emma, Kate & Ashley for all your hard work.
💚💚💚
A squad hit with illness this weekend. We managed to get over the line today and into the hat for the next round of the cup.
Thanks to Newmarket for a great game, good luck for the rest of the season.
Another cracker we were lucky to be involved in with
@Concordu13EJA
Some brilliant individual & team goals. Another week we have seen an opposition GK make a great save.
Pleased that our work on the training field is getting rewards on the pitch. Team spirit was first class!
Massive thanks to Rich and
@CanveyEja
for getting tonight’s game on.
Great battle between the two sides.
We couldn’t take our opportunities. We certainly saw how the pressure effected our level of football we didn’t get into a rhythm at all.
Lots to build and learn from.
The biggest thing for me today is
@premierleague
@FA
must support grass roots football even more.
We have so much talent playing on pitches like this.
They should have a quota of 1000 new 3G pitches per season.
Save the game.
#itwasmorelikerugbythanfootball
Once again let ourselves get dragged into a battle. Didn’t try to play football at all.
Draw was a fair result.
Need to get back to playing football and trusting each other!
Thanks
@BarkingFCEJAJPL
for coming over this morning for a cracker of a match. Lots of attacking football on display.
Pleased to see our boys take the reigns off and express themselves in the final third.
Thanks
@CanveyEja
for a cracking contest today.
Good team effort from our boys today. In spells moved the ball well. Growing with confidence every week. A clean sheet topped off the performance.
