Alton Galaxy Crowned League Champions!
A fantastic season for Under 13 Alton Galaxy reached its perfect conclusion this weekend as the boys officially secured the league title.
Imagine telling Norwich City fans when they were 23rd in November that they would have a faint shot of the Championship play-offs in early April. They’d have laughed. Imagine if Philippe Clement had been appointed earlier. When he arrived on Nov 18, Norwich had 9 points from 15 games. They are now 9th with 58 points from 41 games. Highly unlikely but not impossible that Norwich could make the play-offs. 6 points off with 5 games remaining. Still a long shot. But Clement has transformed Norwich.
He's improved fitness levels, defensive concentration and mood. Improved recruitment, too, and credit to sporting director Ben Knapper: Mohamed Toure, Randers, £2.6m, scouted by Knapper since 2022; Paris Maghoma from Brentford and Ali Ahmed from Vancouver.
Knapper’s appointment of Clement has been inspired (and may have saved Knapper’s job). Clement has authority, presence, good decision-making and deals with adversity. He lost Makama to injury, and Sargent to a sulk and Toronto FC. He had 10 players injured going into Friday’s game with Portsmouth, drawn 1-1. Norwich trailed 1-0 to Millwall at a sold-out Den today, but Clement’s subs turned the game around: Mohamed Toure 2x assists, Schwartau the winner. Clement has restored hope to Norwich. #OTBC

Jacob, we will miss seeing you in the Alton shirt, good luck young man
A much improved performance for the Y8 boys ⚽️, despite a 3-0 loss to a decent Oakmoor team. Lots more opportunities on goal and some excellent work in the middle of the pitch by Ned, Nicky, and Stan. POTM was Cameron on his league debut.
Mr Ion’s Y7 boys ⚽️ represented the school for the 1st time. Lots of encouraging performances despite the loss to @OakmoorPE in a game played in great spirit. Noah was POTM, Fletcher did a great job as referee and thanks to Riley for helping out on the line.
We go again next week
Huge good luck to our U14’s who tomorrow host Rugby borough in the JPL national cup semi finals. Thanks to our friends at @Whitchurchutd for hosting such a big game.
KO is 11:30, for anyone wanting to come down and support 💙💛
