Phoenix FC get their first win in the Premier Division

/in /by

Beeston Jnrs 0-3 Phoenix FC

Phoenix FC got their first points on the board with a convincing 3-0 win against Beeston Juniors O.B.

An improved display from their first game and Phoenix showed no nerves in comparison to last week starting fast and going 1-0 up with some brilliant pressing from Zaid to win the ball high followed by a ball across the box to new signing Attaur Rehman who scored from close range.

Attaur added a second to his account early in the second half after some tidy play out wide by Shebul. Phoenix put the game to bed following a short corner from Mo Sadiq to Arsalan who beat a couple of players and slotted in at the near post.

Phoenix FC register their first win and clean sheet in the Premier Division which no doubt will be a proud moment for the club and manager Zaf.

Phoenix FC 1ST’s 1-5 Gildersome OB

/in /by

Phoenix FC played their first ever game in the Premier division today losing 5-1 to an experienced Gildersome side.

Phoenix FC got off to a good start moving the ball well but 3 set piece errors led to 3 quick goals for Gildersome which knocked a lot of confidence in the first half.

After some very good chances Phoenix did everything well but score.

Second half Phoenix came out the same, moving the ball well but were humbled by a couple more goals again from basic errors.

Musa Dukureh got 1 back following some tidy play from Phoenix, a lobbed pass from Anas put Musa through who finished with a cool lob over the keeper.

Phoenix FC got a harsh taste of Premier division football today. Manager Zaf said: ‘The team showed what we’re trying to achieve by playing good football, but in patches and at this level consistency is important. We’re a work in progress and I have no doubt each week we will only get better.’

Phoenix FC play Beeston Juniors Old Boys next Saturday 11 September.

Phoenix FC sign Zaid Amaan

/in /by

Phoenix FC have boosted their squad with the addition of forward Zaid Amaan. Zaid was previously playing for Hall Green in the West Yorkshire Association Premier Division.

A player who can play across the forward line will most definitely add to the quality manager Zaf is looking for in order to get goals for his team.

He said: ‘Zaid is someone I’ve also watched for a number of years, he’s been working hard to play at the highest level possible and I’m glad I can give him an opportunity in the Premier Division. I admire his versatility in the forward line and really looking forward to working on his development to take him to the next level.’

Phoenix FC kick off their pre-season with a win.

/in /by

Phoenix FC played their first ever game together in a pre-season friendly v Leeds City winning 4-3 with a late winner from star signing Mo Sadiq.

A shaky start for the new team going down 3 times in the game to come back and get the winner with 3 mins to play.

Some good football played today in patches with some very good team goals. Most importantly the lads worked hard up until the very end to fight for their victory.

Patience is the key for this season and we can’t wait to see our team back on the pitch very soon!

Goalscorers: Malamin x 2; Sam Hudson & Mo Sadiq
