Amovate Player of the Year

Ian Bedford, Amovate Administrator presented Paulo Borges with the Amovate Player of the Year Trophy at a recent get together of the team and officials.

This year with no senior side Aljezurense entered the Under 19 Algarve District League but with mixed fortune. Importantly the side, made up from players between the ages of 14 to 19 were blooded into a highly competitive league which will stand these lads in good stead however the competition was fierce and the team finished bottom of the league.

The best news was that they won their last match…the first victory of the season, Well Done to ALL.

Aljezurense President Celia Santos said that Paulo deserved the award for his outstanding play and hopefully next season Aljezurense could well re-enter the Senior Section of the Algarve District Football League.

JCA will not be registering a team in the Algarve Senior League this next Season 2014 / 2015 mainly due to lack of funding, however it is intended to field a team in the season 2015 / 2016.

JCA do however have a junior side that are playing competitive football, in a league who’s matches are SATURDAY AFTERNOONS.  If you go on the web and type the following, http://www.zerozero.pt/edition.php?id_edicao=72291   you will go to the ZeroZero page with fixture, results and league table.

They of course need support like the seniors, so have trip and give the lads a shout.

2013/14 PLAYER OF THE YEAR

IMG_2057Aljezurense Player of the Year 2014/15 sponsored by Amovate is Hugo Merreiros.

Hugo has played at Lagos and Bensafrim before joining Aljezurense 3 seasons ago with a brief spell at Odemeira. Other than through injury Hugo was a regular member and captain of the side and a brave strong central defender.

Hugo scored several important goals and his will to win plus excellent football qualities makes him a worthy winner of this coveted trophy.

AF Algarve 2 Divisão – Unbeaten Champions

Bensafrim 1 – 1 Aljezurense

The last game of the season was sadly a sorry affair with the referee mishandling what should have been a very good local derby. Aljezur still not at full strength, did their best to let their unbeaten record disappear but again Simão 80 and Africa 4 held strong in central defence.

The Bensafrim centre forward was tireless in his efforts and would be a great asset to Aljezurense next term and his enthusiasm and the referees inadequacy almost won the game.

Aljezurense scored half way through the first half with what would win goal of the season on Match of the Day.  A fine move down the left found Pele 14, his turn of speed was too much for the home defence and he hit a fierce shot from the left bending the ball past the outstretched body of the goalkeeper into the side netting of the goal, not that they deserved this lead, but Aljezurense still were looking for a result to end the season unbeaten.

In the second half, Bensafrim took the bull by the horns and fought hard, Aljezurense battled although it was clear they held onto the lead by a thread.  With 15 mins to go a fierce shot by the Bensafrin centre forward from distance skidded on the wet surface and Abel 12 parried the ball into the goal, 1-1.

Heavy rain ensued as both sides fought hard to win the match but alas it fizzled out even and a 1-1 draw.

Aljezurense Players thank their Supporters

Well done Aljezurense finishing the season unbeaten and 8 points clear at the top of the table, now the hard work starts with keeping the players for next season and hopefully reinforcing the squad with some quality.
