AFC Brightwell-Away

Thank you to Peter Turner from AFC Brightwell who informed me on Friday morning that the game was off at AFC Brightwell due to being waterlogged which allowed me time to book a pitch at Horspath Road running track due to our U9's playing at Court farm Place and allowing all the boys to enjoy a game of football this morning.Thanks also to Tony Rogers who help me transport the goals and reffing all three games and the parents who helped put up and take down the goals.

1st Game Won 1-4

Team:Kieron Massingham,Tate Rogers,Tremayne Barratt,Lester Davies,Jack Tutton,Ross McMahon,Leyton Brandon.

We started this game very well with the right attitude and direction on a windy and cloudy cold morning.We held possession and pinned our opponents back for long periods and then we opened the scoring half way through the first half when we broke away through Ross McMahon who drove low into the bottom corner,Ross added another goal quickly after with a superb taken strike from wide left into the top right hand corner of the goal.Super goalkeeping from our Keeper Kieron Massingham relieved any possible pressure.Jack Tutton created the third after a mazey run which ended with a shot which was turned in by an unlucky defender.Half time 0-3,Tremayne Barratt added the fourth from close range in the box, Brightwell got a deserved goal late on to complete the scoreline.

2nd Game Won 0-2

Team:Kieron Massingham,Cameron Innes,Thomas Van Gucci,Joesph Hastings,Robbie Morton,Jprdan Lawson,Jamie Smith(Locky) Half time changes in Brackets.

This game was very entertaining, with good passing,tackling on show from both sides, Cameron Innes scored two very good strikes from long range in the first half, Great team play and effort from everyone this morning. The second half had many chances for both sides but nobody found the net due to excellent goalkeeping from both sides.

Third Game Draw 2-2

Team:Jack Tutton,Kieron Massingham,James Rule,Cameron Gray,Jamie Smith,Malcolm Blinder,Locky.

This game saw all out attack from both sides with us taken the lead through Cameron Gray scoring after Malcolm Blinder unselfishly passed the ball off to allow Cameron to score from close range,Malcolm was rewarded later for this as he broke away from the half way line and slotted the ball pass the keeper. Halftime score 0-2.
The second half carried on the same as the first half with both sides seeming to be playing with three up front.
Brightwell scored two goals in a frantic two minutes to end a great mornings football.

All the lads this morning played yet again to a high standard for their young age.

Chalgrove-Away

After another long lay off due to the weather and teams postponing,our last game being on 27/01/07 against Abingdon away, we hoped to play at home this morning but after last nights rain the whole of one goal mouth was full of surface water, so very kindly Mark at Chalgrove organised everything and we played our home fixture at Chalgrove with our Ref, Tony Rogers kindly travelling and doing the Reffing.

First Game Won 5-0
Team Kieron Massingham,Tate Rogers,Tremayne Barrett,Thomas Van Gucci,Jack Tutton,Ross McMahon,Leyton Brandon.

Great game with Jack Tutton opening the scoring with a shot from just outside the box,Leyton Brandon raced away and placed a shot from an acute angle passed the keeper,Ross McMahon crossed and a side foot finish from Jack Tutton ended the half 3-0, At half time we spoke about passing, moving and that was all that was missing from our display but this would come with a run of games which we unluckly haven't had lately. Great defending display from Tate Rogers and Tremayne Barrett who always listen and react and give the team a solid base to start from.A Jack Tutton lob over the keeper and a Leyton Brandon goal finished the scoreline.

Second Game Won 3-0
Team Kieron Massingham,Cameron Innes,Tate Rogers(Thomas Dunning Half Time),Robbie Morton,Lester Davies,Cameron Gray(Tremayne Barrett 5mins),Locky.

Another game with alot of effort and skill, Robbie Morton opened the scoring with a close finish in the box, this was the half time score,At half time the lads were full of the joys of spring had a drink and wanted to get on with it,Locky broke from the halfway line and slotted passed the advancing keeper,and Tremayne Barrett scored with a low hard drive from just inside the box after a couple of great runs, Defending and goal keeping again by Kieron Massingham,Tate Rogers,Cameron Innes and Thomas Dunning were superb this is a must to give both teams a solid base to build from and another clean sheet.

All the boys enjoyed this morning and once again thank you to Chalgrove for being so accomodating and allowing all these boys to play football this morning.

Keep it up lads and well done this season.
