Brill v Naphill Friendly 23rd February 2025

We played a friendly match at home against Naphill, a team in a higher division. Despite the strong cross wind and heavy ground, which made it tough to work the ball, we played great passing football.

The score was 0-0 at halftime. Naphill had hit the post twice but we had our chances too.

In the second half we developed strong patterns of play. We scored our first when a hand ball just outside the penalty area gave Barnes the chance to rifle the free kick into the net through a crowded goalmouth. A little later Will showed great composure to pass the ball into the net in another of our attacks to make it a deserved 2-0.

Naphill scored soon after from a speculative kick towards goal from the left wing, it went way up in the air and looped just under the bar for their only goal of the match.

Despite the challenging conditions, the game was high-energy, ending with a well fought 2-1 victory for Brill.

It was hard for Coach Phil to pick a standout player because every one of the boys had performed so well. He particularly praised Ted’s tireless midfield work, well played Ted! but named Arlo MOTM for his sharp defensive work as part of a resolute back three. A joy to watch as ever!!

After an incredible first season with a youth team back at Brill United for the first time in 30 years, we are delighted to announce the launch of our U10’s team for the 2025/26 season.

The U10’s will join the South Bucks Mini Soccer Conference League, playing matches on a Sunday morning, alongside one training session per week.

Our first taster sessions will be on the Brill playing field at 1pm on Saturday 01 and Saturday 08 March. Come along for a kick about and a chat!
