BRENTWOOD 2 HORNCHURCH 1

 

 

 

Prior to arriving at the ground, the main difficulty was getting there. The Brook Street roundabout was a solid mass of motionless traffic, and the A12 from the Chelmsford side had a five mile queue. Brentwood itself was marginally better, but eventually most of the travelling support got through.

 

 

 

Prior to the start the biggest surprise was at the tea bar where you were asked £1.50 for a cup of tea. After loud protest, this was quickly reduced to £1. What was the price displayed on the board? It was not possible to check which price was correct as the prices for drink were rubbed out.

 

 

 

Hornchurch fielded a team lacking several potential first team regulars, whilst Jo Flack and Jonathan Hunt were coming back from injury. Andy Tomlinson, though well short of returning to the team, was warming up along the touch line.

 

 

 

Hornchurch started off confidently but quickly lost Ronnie Fletcher due to injury. Soon after Tambeson Eyong nearly went the same way, victim of a disgracefully late tackle, which many thought would lead to a straight red for the Brentwood player. Incredibly he escaped with just a few words from the referee, who then proceeded shortly after to book Jo Flack and a Brentwood player for a minor incident.

 

 

 

A good through pass sent Jo Flack clear, but Jo was lacking match fitness and Andy Hall raced out of goal to clear. At the other end Nick Muir found himself with a clear run at goal but he hit his shot wide. With Sam Lee no longer in the line up, Martin Tuohy came into the picture with an excellent pass to Tommy Black, whose cross found Donny Barnard, who crashed the ball into the net from 30 yards past a mass of defenders, the ball taking a deflection off a home player en route. The goal was disallowed for an offside flag, which was a somewhat unpopular decision with the 90 Hornchurch supporters.

 

 

 

A long pass upfield from Billy Coyne reached Martin Tuohy, who ran on and almost lobbed the keeper with a first time attempt, whilst a Billy Coyne long throw was headed away by Darren Blewitt. Home keeper Hall then made an excellent save from Tommy Black. Shortly before half time Tambeson Eyong made a penetrating run on the right, and he crossed the ball low into the middle, where Martin Tuohy’s flick was well saved by Andy Hall.

 

 

 

With changes coming at regular intervals after the interval, Paul Shave picked out Martin Tuohy and his shot was again well saved by Andy Hall, whilst Michael Bowditch made two excellent saves to keep the home side at bay. Hall than made another fine save, this time from Greg Enstone, but it was the home side who took the lead when Ide Okaji sent a low cross into the goalmouth and ELLIS REMY prodded the ball home. Brentwood went further ahead through their substitute (number 17), and less than a minute later ROSS WALL raced through to pull a goal back. Horncnhurch applied heavy pressure in the final few minutes but were unable to pierce a solid home defence.

and that is what could cost you the league..................strength in depth

[Eastside Urchin]

Hmmmmm

could also see us doing well,thing is having a small squad is theres no passengers

[Eastside Urchin]

funny thing about this result is tht on the romford (closed) forum the inbreds are actually excited about the fact we lost a pre season friendly again

The famous alan fenn bites like a rabid dog regarding dagsys report and Tim "nice but dim" coyle actually had his post censored with regards to our defeat,and to think they called us paranoid on another of their closed threads!!!

[cup of tea]

Apart from the Colchester game, the defeats were with understrength Hx teams.

I don't know how Romford have got on pre-season as I have no interest.

Onward to the new season

[Eastside Urchin]

They beat upminster 4-2 yesterday after being 1-0 down at half time

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

If other clubs want to make fun of our pre-season results then let them get on with it!

 

You cant judge how a team is going to be just on pre-season games.

After all there is nothing to play for and the main thing, imo, these games are there for is getting the players back to full fitness.

[Eastside Urchin]

I must say that you are right young lady,although as far as Romford are concerned,if they are letting in two goals to upminster,that would suggest they will struggle to stay in the ryman one north

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

Indeed!

 

[Forza_1890]

On paper both teams have strong line ups there.

 

Ellis Remy, Joao Carlos, Darren Blewitt for Brentwood

 

Dave McSweeney, Donny Barnard, Tommy Black, Tuohy for Hornchurch

 

Those guys should be more than effective in their respective leagues
