Halas Ladies
Halas Ladies 1 Redditch Ladies 0
Halas Hawks Ladies were in County Cup action against Redditch
Ladies, who are two divisions above, but despite having the bare
11 players, they competed well with Redditch, fully deserving
their single goal win after a long range looping shot from
Catherine Barratt, which left the Redditch keeper with no chance.
Halas had further chances to stretch their lead whilst, stand in
goalkeeper, Becks Trevis-Smith, kept out everything that Redditch
could throw at her, but it was Halas who went through to the next
round.

level at 1 – 1 with a goal for Halas from Nathan France. The

Penn Colts 2 Halas Hawks East 1
The U9s East started strongly against Penn Colts taking the lead
with a long range shot from Charlie Greening. Halas looked
comfortable throughout the rest of the first half but Josh Smith
had to be alert and pulled off a stunning save late in the half.
Penn came more into the game in the second half and equalised
early on after a scramble in the box. Halas regrouped but with
three minutes to go a missed tackle in midfield let Penn play the
ball out wide and from there the Penn forward struck a low shot
into the opposite corner to give them a 2-1 win. Man of the match
went to goalkeeper, Josh Smith.
Halas Hawks East 2 Forest Falcons West 0
The U10s East recorded a hard fought 2-0 victory over a well
organised Forest Falcons side. The only goal in a fairly even

midway through the second half thanks to a wonder strike from the
halfway line from Oliver Downing. Halas pressed near the end but
had to settle for the 2-0 win.
Halas Hawks West 3 West Hagley West 0
The U10s West started the stronger and put Hagley under pressure
from the start and were only held out by some excellent goal
keeping. However, Halas continued to push and opened the scoring
with a long range strike from George Shingleton, giving them the
lead at half time.
Halas continued to dominate the match in the second half with some
fantastic football, and were rewarded with two excellent goals
from Josh Beasley. Hagley made a mini revival towards the end of
the match but were held out by some strong defending, giving Halas
a well deserved 3-0 victory.

Halas Hawks 1 Kewford South 2
The U13s went ahead through Dominic Hipkiss following some great
football but Kewford equalised before half time against the run of
play. The second half continued in the same fashion with Halas
having some great chances to go ahead and Halas keeper, Charlie
Bagley, pulled off some great saves to keep Halas in it, but he
was unable to keep out the penalty that saw Kewford take a 2-1
win. Man of the match went to Charlie Bagley
Withymoor East 2 Halas East 2
The U14s east drew 2-2 with Withymoor East. Halas twice took the
