Selby & District Under 13s League Cup 2nd Round
Pollington Panthers (Jets) 3 - Drax S&S 0
The Panthers moved into the next round of the cup
despite missing two key players which left them with no substitutes against
determined opposition. All of the Panthers goals came in the first half, Jack
Hargreaves neatly headed the first one in from close range, and then quick
thinking from Christian Rollin gave them a second as he stroked the ball
into an open net with the goalkeeper stranded. Rollin got his second soon
after with a great turn and finish from inside the area. In the second half,
Drax continued to defend well and denied the Panthers the opportunity to extend
their lead, midfielder Alex Bainbridge came closest with his well taken
free kicks, one bouncing off the crossbar. A good all round team performance was
highlighted by Man of the Match being awarded to Dan Lawson for his hard
work in midfield, and Daniel Roockley was voted Players Player for his
control of the left wing. Panthers now have to wait to see who they meet in the
semi finals, but before that they play Carlton Cannons in the league this
weekend. Thanks to the Drax players and supporters for a game played in the
right spirit from start to finish.

Pollington Panthers (Jets) 4 - Drax S&S 0
“Rollin hat-trick secures the points”
Pollington were keen to get back to winning ways, after the enforced break of
last weeks bad weather, and they found themselves against Drax for the third
time this season. It was still a bitterly cold morning for the home side
spectators, but they were soon warmed by an early lead when a fierce shot from
centre forward Christian Rollin was too much for the keeper to keep out,
and he doubled his tally soon after when he drilled the rebound into the net
after the keeper had made a good save. At the other end the home side keeper
David White had to keep his concentration, and was able to scoop up the few
chances on his goal. The second half saw more of the same as Jets applied the
pressure, and the midfield of Bainbridge, Lawson, Hargreaves,
Bates, and sub Ellis, managed to get plenty of possession,
allowing Rollin plenty of opportunities to increase the lead. He
completed his second successive hat-trick with a simple tap in, after a gutsy
run from fellow striker Chris Blenkinsop. Defenders Whitehead,
Child, Wright, Bentham and sub Possnett, were rock
solid at the back, leaving the visitors with little to show for their efforts.
Dan Lawson made it four as he cleaned up another shot from the strikers.
Man of the Match was Adam Child and Dan Lawson was voted Players
Player by his team mates. Next week they play their fellow Pollington Stars
team.
Team Manager John White had two things to be pleased about as an
employee of BT he had received a grant of £175 from the companies Community
Champion Award Scheme. The scheme is designed to provide BT people with funding
on behalf of local community groups, where they re involved on a voluntary basis.

Selby & District JFL Under 13s
Pollington Panthers (Jets) 3 - Pollington Panthers (Stars) 1
There are not many clubs who can produce two teams of U13s and when you pitch
school- and club-mates against each other you can expect a closely contested
match. Stars took the lead after ten minutes but Jets
fought back with an equaliser before taking a half-time lead.
The match continued from end-to-end as both sides looked to take an advantage
in midfield, but it was Jets who managed to extend their lead when striker
Christian Rollin secured his third successive hat-trick with a fine goal.
The Jets squad shared the man-of-the-match award for a good all-round
performance. Both teams meet again before the end of the season, and Jets travel
to North Duffield on Saturday.

North Duffield Dragons 3 - Pollington Panthers (Jets) 2
"Panthers stunned as Dragons fight back"
Pollington were left wondering how they could have squandered a 2-0 half-time
lead in this Selby & District Junior League game, while the North Duffield
Dragons side were able to prove that you should never give up.
Seb Ellis took the Jets off the runway with a good shot over the heads
of a goalmouth scramble, and Players' Player Dan Lawson added a second
with a real screamer from well outside the area. And then, after having a shot
rebound off the crossbar, midfielder and Man-of-the-Match, Alex Bainbridge
had a converted free-kick disallowed with a striker offside. The Dragons fought
back to square the match and though the Jets had plenty of chances to restore
their lead, the hosts pulled off the winner through another failure to clear.
This weekend, the Pollington Panthers (Jets) meet Selby Town in the League Cup
semi-final.
