IN THE PICTURE IS SKIP RECEIVING NEW MATCHBALL FROM JOE'S DAD WHICH WE THANK HIM FOR
ON THE PITCH WE DID THE BALL JUSTICE, WHEN WE PASSED IT WELL, WITHOUT GETTING A GOAL WHICH OUR PLAY DESERVED.
CHANCES CAME AND WENT AND WE DID NOT GET THE REWARD WE DESERVED, WITH TOBY AND SKIP KEEPING THE AWAY SIDES ATTACKS AT BAY AND STAND IN KEEPER CALLUM LOOKING GOOD, IT GAVE OUR MIDFIELD TRIO OF JOE, DAMON AND KEIRON P A PLATFORM TO SPRAY THE BALL ABOUT WHICH THEY DID VERY WELL AND WITH CHEY WORKING TIRELESLEY UP FRONT FOR THE TEAM THE ONLY SUPRISE WAS THAT THE FIRST HALF WAS GOALESSS.
THE SECOND HALF WAS MUCH THE SAME TILL JOE PUT US AHEAD FROM CLOSE RANGE CREDIT TO SHOULDHAM WHO CAME BACK AND DREW LEVEL FROM THE SPOT TO PEG US BACK, BUT OUR PLAY CONTINUED TO PUSH THE AWAY SIDE BACK AND WHEN KEIRAN P PUT US BACK IN THE LEAD IT WAS WELL DESERVED.

Wootton 2 - Old Town 1
OLD TOWN DIDNT DESERVE TO LOSE A GAME, WHERE THEY HAD ENOUGH POSSESION AND CHANCES TO WIN, BUT COULDNT FIND AWAY PAST A HOME GOALKEEPER WHO WAS AS TALL AS THE GOAL.
IN AN EVEN FIRST HALF OLD TOWN PLAYED SOME GOOD FOOTBALL BUT THEIR FINAL BALL WASNT GOOD ENOUGH, AND DISASTER STRUCK WHEN WE GAVE AWAY A SOFT CORNER, AND THEN WE ALLOWED A FREE HEADER TO FIND OURSELVES ONE DOWN AT HALFTIME.
THE SECOND HALF WAS A TALE OF MISSED CHANCES WE DENIED THE HOME SIDE THE BALL, AND ALL WE HAD TO DEFEND WAS THE BIG BOOT OF THE HOME TEAMS GOALKEEPER, BUT SADLY WE FELL 2 BEHIND WHEN WE WENT TO SLEEP, AND WERE PUNISHED.
THE REST OF THE GAME WAS A STORY OF MISSED CHANCES, BUT WE MANAGED TO SCORE WHEN JAMES SCORED AFTER A GOOD THROUGH BALL FROM KEIRAN, BUT WE COULDNT ADD ANOTHER SO FOR A SECOND AWAY GAME IN A ROW WE LOST A GAME WE SHOULD HAVE GOT MORE OUT OFF IT.
BUT WELL DONE LADS AS WE PLAYED SOME GOOD STUFF AND YOU PUT IN A GOOD EFFORT WELL DONE TO HOME REF WHO HAD A QUALITY GAME
OLD TOWN 6 V 1 FLITCHAM AND HILLINGTON
WE WELCOMED OUR FREINDS FROM DOWN THE ROAD, FOR OUR FIRST HOME GAME OF THE SEASON AND PUT ON A GOOD PERFORMANCE, EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER PUT THE GAME TO BED UNTIL WELL INTO THE SECOND HALF DUE TO THE AWAY'S SIDE DETERMINED EFFORTS. WE STARTED WELL AND TOOK THE LEAD THROUGH CALLUM, THE AWAY SIDE THEN DREW LEVEL AND FOR A WHILE WE LOOKED SHAKY, BUT SHEILA SOON SETTLED US DOWN WITH HIS TENTH OF OUR SEASON. FLITCHAM HIT THE BAR, BUT IN THE SECOND HALF WE GOT ON TOP AND ADDED GOALS FROM DAMON, JAMES AND 2 MORE FROM CALLUM TO COMPLETE HIS HAT TRICK.
SO WELL DONE LADS AND THANKS TO SKIP FOR TAKING THE WHISTLE AND BOB IN HELPING PREPARE THE PITCH
