Match Report
Hall started & moved the ball around very well making use of the space available on the pitch, runs from King, Clarke, Rout & Haggerty all causing problems. Bury held well with some great saves from their keeper to maintain the scores at 0 – 0.
It was however Hall who maid the 1st breakthrough when King was released to take the ball past 1 defender & chip the advancing keeper. Hall started to lift their game as confidence built Haggerty was put through by King to open his account. Hall had the majority of possession & a run on the left & subsequent shot from Haggerty was stopped by the keeper, who was not able to hold the ball, allowing the follow up by King to be tapped home.
Ballam made his mark on his birthday to show purpose & strength in defence to collect the ball from the oncoming Bury team & pass off to King to take the ball down the right & lay the ball into the feet of Haggerty to turn & finish. Hall weren’t finished & a shot from
Harvey from 25 yards was parried by the keeper, who could not react to stop Haggerty on the follow up completing the scoring in the 1st half.
H T Score: 5 - 0 to Moreton Hall.
Moreton Hall started as they finished the 1st with King racing down the right & crossing for Haggerty to head the ball over the keeper & into the net.
Hall maintained their momentum &
Harvey developed an opportunity & fired home at the near post to get his only goal for the game.
Hall capitalised from a goal kick from the keeper which fell to Haggerty’s feet, no second invite needed he shifted the ball to his favoured foot & past the keeper into the net. Rout, playing as a stand-in left back, had a great game advancing & overlapping with Clarke to cause problems with his crosses.
With 20 minutes left Hall brought on Ahmed to make his goal keeping debut for the team, bring Humphreys off to have a ¼ hour on pitch in place of Ballam, a deserved rest for the strong defender.
Ahmed made his make with some deft footwork & clearance to
Harvey to release the ball to Clarke who crossed for King to shoot & have the shot saved by the Bury keeper.
Haggerty burst down the left to cut the ball across for King to complete his hat trick after a few more minutes. King then turned provider to Haggerty to tap in for his & the teams final goal of the season.

Match Report
Moreton Hall started this game with a bare 11 players on this summery morning, the pitch left a bit to be desired with the grass very long for a football pitch. It didn’t take Hall long to start with an opening goal in the 1st minute from Evans. Hall continued to maintain the pressure with several chances being sent wide by Clarke, Rout, Harvey & Haggerty. Haggerty was left to fire a great shot in past the keeper’s near post from the right, the Mildenhall defence backed away ready for the cross which didn’t come. This is how the score stayed until half time.
H T Score: 0 – 2 to Moreton Hall.
Mildenhall restarted the game and were pushing & chasing more, they were awarded a penalty when the Mildenhall player’s & Skevington’s legs tangled. Humphreys went the right way but could not reach it. 1 – 2 to Morton Hall. Mildenhall levelled the scores when a speculative high kick found its way over Humphreys in to the net.
Hall had to restart & blisters weren’t helping, whilst 1 was off Hall added another goal when Rout scored at the back post.
Hall now started to pressurise & got another 2 minutes later when Evans stabbed home from 5 yards.
With Hall on a roll & Haggerty was released to take on the keeper & slot the ball home.
Hall again released Haggerty to add another 2 – 6 with just over 5 to go. Ballam, Sibbett, Clarke & Haggerty combined to complete the scoring for the game.
A deserved victory with a better team performance if a little shaky for a while in the middle.
FT Score: 2 – 7 to Moreton Hall U 13A

Ipswich gained a 2nd when they were 1 on 1 with a slow of the mark Humphreys & placed the ball to his right, 2 down.
Keeper change, Sibbett looks more composed in goal. Exiles have a corner which Hall only got just outside the box,
Ipswich shoot & the ball is in top right.
H T Score: 0 – 3 to
Ipswich Exiles
Hall looked more alert in the 2nd half & were putting more effort, a Sibbett clearance up field had a bounce & Haggerty was on the end of it to slot home.
Hal again conceded when they failed to close down a shot from out of the area was again in the top corner.
Hall now started to compose themselves & held the Ipswich side for nearly 20 minutes before the Hall defence was exposed & it was 4 -1.

Match Report
Moreton Hall started the game quickly & kept the Trimley side under pressure, at the 15 minute mark Hall broke the deadlock with Haggerty chasing down a back pass to the Trimley keeper, a touch to the left & a pass into the goal for the opener. The game progressed with much of the play in the middle until Clarke picked up the ball & passed wide for Haggerty to cross to the right, Trimley’s keeper got fingers on the ball which allowed King to finish to give Hall a 2 – 0 advantage at half time.
H T Score: 2 – 0 to Moreton Hall.
Trimley came out in the 2nd half with purpose going forward, this allowed Hall to catch them on the break at 2mins in, Haggerty was able to pass the ball through the Keepers legs to give Hall a 3 – 0 advantage.
Hall failed to close the door at this point & 6 minutes later Trimley got their 1st from a goal mouth scramble.
Hall started to look ill at ease & a lapse at the back allowed Trimley to attack, cross & a tap in from the far side. 3 – 2.
Hall continued to play some good football & had an attempt hit the underside of the crossbar, roll along the line, in or out, it wasn’t given & the scores remained the same.
Trimley managed to get 2 more in a 5 minute period before Hall had a 2nd goal not given, the keeper parried the ball up, it hit the net & the keeper caught it & stepped forward, this was very frustrating for the team as it would have been the equaliser.
Hall had a last minute free kick awarded which King fired goal bound at the near post, the keeper got his hands to the ball & took it out, strangely a goal kick was awarded which gave the advantage to Trimley for the final seconds.
Hall worked hard & deserved at least a point from this game.
FT Score: 3 – 4 to Trimley Red Devils

Match Report
Moreton Hall started slowly after a several week break with the basic 11 man squad taking to the field. Hall looked off the pace & suffered for it on 9 minutes when Sibbett’s goal was breached for the 1st time. Hall started to pick up the pace & had 3 – 4 chances hit the post or pass just wide. Thurston’s forwards had the better luck & scored a 2nd which is how it remained into ½ time.
H T Score 0 – 2 to Thurston.
The second half saw a bad start with a goal conceded within 2 minutes, Hall had to dig deep to force forward. Hall started to come back goal from Rout 10 minutes into the 2nd half. Thurston maintained their shape & kept up the pressure on the Hall defence, several interceptions from new signing Ballam and the consistent Skevington holding the score down until 15 mins when Thurston again broke in numbers to take the score to 4 - 1 to the visitors.
Hall, missing some key players, kept up the fight to have their best 15 minutes of the match with goals from Harvey & Cockman to make it a tight game 3 – 4 & not much in it. Hall continued to play the ball but it just didn’t happen for them & gaps appeared leaving the way through for Thurston to score 2 more at the end to close the game off with this defeat.
A performance which had highlights from Hall & also learning points

Match Report
Moreton Hall started the game, on this wet, cold & blustery day, with an 11 man squad available. This didn’t detract from the game with quick pace and end to end football, Hall scored 1st with King taking the ball to the by-line, a square ball for Rout to volley home, 0 – 1 to Hall.
This continued until Hall were caught by a run through from the Hurricane’s midfield to equalise. Hall maintained the battle until 3 minutes before ½ time when the Hurricanes played the ball in from left to right & finished to take the lead into ½ time.
H/T score: 2 – 1 Hurricanes
The game restarted well for Hall who had King put through on 3 minutes to level the scores with a clever chip over the advancing keeper.
Hurricane attack after attack was cleared by the combination of Evans & Humphreys in central defence, Cockman & Unsworth also working well in central midfield.
Hall had a goal not given when King sent the ball across the front of goal for Clarke to touch over the line, this was not seen by the Ref or the assistant & play continued.
The deadlock was broken again when the Hurricanes were awarded a corner & floated the ball in to the box for a knock on to an unmarked player, which saw them take the lead.
Hall restarted the game & Cockman started to run through the centre with the ball at his feet, he was caught bye a Hurricanes midfielder & Hall awarded a free kick. Up stepped
Harvey to strike the ball high into the net giving the Hurricanes keeper no chance.
FT Score: 3 – 3
Extra time to be played.
Hall started well again, although the legs were getting tired, Hall were caught out with the slightly fresher legs of the Hurricanes side.
Hall didn’t give in & a combination of
Harvey to King, who again crossed to Rout, with skilled control, bought the ball down to score past the outstretched keeper.
Hall were shattered after 85 minutes of football & no subs when they conceded twice in 3 minutes to lose the best youth football match seen by the spectators & officials in years.
“Worthy of a cup final” was just 1 comment made, a fantastic game by both sides.
Score after Extra Time 6 – 4 to the Hurricanes.

The game still had 20 minutes left & this saw tired legs & a lack of games, not since 7th Dec had hall ventured on the pitch.

Match Report
Achillies started the game on this very cut up sodden pitch, they had the advantage of playing downhill in the 1st half. Hall were slow to move the ball & didn’t show their ability, having said that the Achillies keeper played very well and denied many on target shots. It was Hall who took the lead with
Harvey rifling home his 1st of the season.
Hall had several more chances but were either denied or shot off target.
Hall came out to a second half playing downhill. Hall started this 2nd half in a similar way to the 1st with Rout sending the ball into the back of the net with a long range shot after just a few minutes.
Hall were making the play but didn’t manage to capitalise until Haggerty turned on a corner ball & slotted home to make it 3.
Hall continued to work hard & Evans had the ball in the net again only to be denied for being off side. Hall will be hoping for a better performance next time.

Match Report
Moreton Hall started in emphatic style with the K.O. spread to Rout, who crossed in to King for the first goal, 10 seconds on the clock!
This opener took Elmswell by surprise & kick started their game, they attacked with their No 6 & 9 making a good deal of the play, they had several good chances which were stopped by Humphreys, playing well, in the Hall goal.
Hall got back into their stride & new signing Clarke scored his first for the club.
Hall continued to play the ball around & they were rewarded with Haggerty’s first in this game.
Hall came out to a second half with the wind behind them & confident, this showed when King released Clarke to slot home number 4 with 3 minutes of the second half gone.
This dented the Elmswell team’s spirits for a few minutes in which Haggerty scored his second. At this point Hall started to allow the Elmswell team to show how well they can play football, it was only some good saves & back tracking by the Hall defence, including new signing Unsworth at right back, that kept Elmswell out.
Moving into the last 20 minutes of the game saw Haggerty make it a hat trick, & Clarke follow in on goal to finish off another shot by King to give him his hat trick in his debut game.
King maintained his strength to take on a pass from Cockman, carry the ball forward to 1 on 1 with the keeper & slot home for his 2nd of the match with 3 minutes to go.
Elmswell were starting to tire at this point & couldn’t cope with Haggerty bursting through to slot home number 4 with 2 minutes left.
Hall now were able to give a last push which gave Skevington his 1st of the season in the last minute of the game.

Match Report
Moreton Hall started the game with an under strenght 10 man squad due holiday & other commitments, this did not deter them, Hall were reduced to 9 when a defencive header from Skevington was met with a Melford boot & the resultant cut eye brow meant Skevington being taken to A & E for treatment. (A long wait & a few stitches later & he was ok).
To add to Hall's problems Rush also injured his knee & a swap of keeper to allow the game to continue happened, this meant Sibbett coming on to the field.
Hall played a great game under pressure of numbers & came out 10 - 3 winners.

Match Report
This week a different team showed up to play, Hall were alert & ready to go from the first whistle. Straight into the game with Hall attacking into the sun, a cross field ball from Ahmed released King to run down the right & shot home from 12yards. The Hurricanes didn’t hold back & Hall goal saw the ball put away to equalise.
It was the Hurricanes who continued to push & capitalise from a slip by Humphreys in goal for Hall, 2 – 1 down with 22 minutes gone. Hall raised their game again & Haggerty burst down the left & fired across towards goal allowing Rush to finish to level the scores at the break.
The second ½ saw the Hurricanes come out of the blocks straight away & take the lead 5 minutes, Hall continued to work the ball & had several close attempts, the Hurricanes fought back & got another when a long ball released their striker to slide the ball under the outstretched Humphreys to make it 4 – 2. Hall didn’t stop & kept the game going right to the last few minutes when King scored his second of the game. Time wasn’t quite on Hall’s side.

Match Report
Again Moreton Hall didn’t start well and allowed Thurston to play their game, which they did well, with 5 minutes gone Hall were 1 behind. Hall at this point turned round and started to play the game, some good passing on both wings allowed Hall to push forward and attack the Thurston goal, still Hall could not make the attacks count as Thurston closed out the Hall attack & the keeper did the rest.
Hall started to run out of steam as ½ time drew closer and allowed 3 quick goals to be scored in 6 minutes.
Starting off the second ½ Thurston attacked almost immediately and were awarded a penalty when Thurston’s number 5 went down in box, the spot kick was placed well and the score moved up to 5. Hall did not appear to be their usual selves and will need to work at the basics ready for next week.

Match Report
This was a match in which Hall failed to start well, it was almost as if the sea air had made the team sleepy! It wasn’t long until a well drilled Trimley side spread the ball out to the right, down the wing & back into the box for the first attack. At 6 minutes the Hall defence was breached & we were 1 – 0 down, the boys still hadn’t woken up & at about 25 minutes found themselves 2 down., this was the wake up call & Hall responded with an excellent movement on the right for King to run on to a pull 1 back.
As we started the second half Hall had good amounts of possession but failed to capitalise, Trimley on the other hand made more of their chances & made it 3 – 1. Hall kept going & were rewarded with another goal from Haggerty from a corner. It wasn’t long before Trimley again scored. Hall kept pressing and were rewarded when Rout poked the ball into the net in a goalmouth scramble. Humphreys had another good game in goal for Hall, making some great fingertip saves, one which was put on to the bar being followed up by Trimley being headed over the line for their last goal.

Match Report
As a season's opener this was a great game to watch, both teams started well & most of the play was in the centre of the field. Morton Hall were pressing on both sides &
Stow countered well. Hall broke the deadlock with a goal from Haggerty, on his debut, on the 6 minute mark, a great ball into the middle was controlled & finished well.
Hall came out in the second half not looking as confident as they had finished the first, but still maintaining their shape & a good deal of the ball. Hall's striker Hays made the best of a goal-mouth scramble to finish & put Hall 2 - 0 up. Stow Falcons didn't take it easy & they continued to press making attack after attack, Humphreys kept Hall in the lead with several great stops & distributed the ball up field well, King, the team Captain, had several attempts on goal, from great positions, but was denied by the posts twice. The Falcons continued to press & were rewarded with 2 goals in the last 15 minutes of the game, Hall can feel that this was probably 2 points dropped but a game well played by both sides.
