Bridport Youth U7, proudly sponsored by Ellward-Smith Electrical Services made their first away trip to Blandford Forum, and had a thoroughly enjoyable second round of games!

Blandford Forum were able to put out 12 players to Bridport’s 10, which with the new 3v3 format, meant that two of the four 3v3 games, Bridport were a player down, fielding 2v3… a daunting task after the tiring first home game! Thankfully Blandford had marked up smaller sized pitches and opted for 8-minute games.

The teams were a little nervy about the 2v3 games but bravely took them on and made everyone proud. First to go up against their respective teams were Douglas and Vincent, and Gabe and Leo. They fought bravely and worked well in their teams, proving that being a player down didn’t matter in this format if they put their heads down and played with the ball in their feet. With two players, space opened up and they all ran their socks off, shooting from all parts of the field. They played their first two games as a pair, before a reinforcement arrived from our other teams for their final two games.

In the first 3v3 games, Edith Jack and Summer lined up together, as did Oakly, Ellis and Holden. They all picked up from where they left off last week, playing well as teams whilst showing lots of individual skills. There were many a dribble and trick in these end-to-end games, and plenty of goals.

The team took a few knocks along the way but took these in good spirit and bounced back every time. The amount of running in the game was impressive, and fitness is an essential! By the end of it there were some tired legs, rewarded by some home made chocolate flap jacks. The coaches and parents were proud of them all, it’s been lovely watching them develop in the 10 months that they’ve been together as a team.

A big thanks to Blandford Forum for hosting us and for the friendly coaches and players, it created a great atmosphere for all of the children!

Bridport Youth U7, proudly sponsored by Ellward-Smith Electrical Services played their very first match in the new 3v3 format, and it didn’t disappoint.

Four teams made up of 2-3 players, played 4 fast and furious ten-minute games, too much action to report on!

The first matches were a little nervy as everyone got to grips with their first game and playing another team, but they soon got into the swing of it. On pitch 1, Edith, Holden and Oakley started brilliantly, with great teamwork, fast feet and lots of goals from both sides, which they maintained through all the 4 matches. This was the same on the next pitch, with Ellis, Gabe and Summer stringing some great passes together, plenty of dribbling and more goals played at a really high tempo.

Douglas, Jack, and Vinnie continued this work rate on pitch 3, with some resolute defending, passing out from the back and taking the ball the length of the pitch, and yes, more goals!

Idris and Leo were first to play on the 2v2 pitch, which while reduced in size, was hard work with end-to-end play and plenty of great attacking football! The work rate for all who played on the pitch was phenomenal, with very few breaks, they were all action packed.

This was a great introduction to the new 3v3 format producing plenty of goals and attacking football, with both clubs showing enthusiasm, skill and a great competitive spirit. It certainly delivered on the new format and it was also a relief for the coaches to have survived their first games!

A big thank you to Weymouth for being such a great team, and to the coaches and parents for creating such an encouraging atmosphere for all the children.

Proud to support Bridport Youth Football Club!

We’re delighted that Ellward-Smith Solar could support the Under 7s Bridport Youth Football Club by purchasing their new kits.

Yesterday, the team took to the pitch for their very first match against Weymouth, and we couldn’t have been prouder!

It was fantastic to see the players out there, giving it their all, working together as a team and — most importantly — enjoying themselves. Every player should be incredibly proud of how they played!

A huge well done to all the players, coaches and families for a brilliant first day. We’re proud to support our local community and look forward to cheering the team on throughout the season!

Go Bridport! ⚽️

What a fantastic way to start the day!

One of our happy customers sent us this brilliant photo this morning of their solar panels soaking up the beautiful sunshine. They said, "What a lovely sight to see this morning!"

Days like today are exactly why investing in solar makes so much sense. With clear blue skies, their system is working hard, generating plenty of clean, renewable energy and helping to keep those electricity bills down.

There's nothing better than seeing our customers enjoying the benefits of going solar. Here's to making the most of this beautiful weather!
