Chris Clapham Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Colliers Wood United Reserves are playing Old Wilsonians AFC in the first round of the Surrey Premier Cup tonight. The winners are at home to Epsom Athletic 1st XI in round 2. The match is at Wibbandune at 7.30pm. With no tv footy or any other games in the north of our region (as far as I can see), why not pop along? Also, I do like their website! http://football.oldwilsonians.com/ Tomorrow evening, our under 18's face Met Police in the Surrey Midweek Youth Cup. Same venue and KO. Winners away to Chipstead or Camberley Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellers Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I went to Eastleigh v Staines Town last night, the score was 4-3 to Eastleigh, yet despite the big scoreline the standard of the football was shocking, both sides literally just smashed it forward as quickly as possible and defenders mistakes was why so many goals went in, the fitness levels were extremely high and you can see that the players have quality, but they are being made to play the long ball game which is awful. Was also told last night that Eastleigh have a weekly wage bill of £20,000, which is ridiculous money for such a poor side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Clapham Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wood 2-3 Wilsons. Wood were knocked out of the Surrey Premier Cup by a lively Wilsonians outfit. From the first kick, the visitors pressed the ball high upfield and continually forced errors and poor passes from the Wood back four. Having created numerous chances the visitors took the lead on 24 minutes when another error was pounced on by Dom O'Shea. However, the lead lasted only a minute as Mike Debrah's 25 yard deflected shot sailed into the roof of the net. Some of the visitors football, on a superb playing surface, was a joy to watch although Wood weren't without their moments. It was 1-2 on 34 minutes when a break on the left and cross was converted by O'Shea. He missed a golden hat trick chance soon after. Wood started the second half much better and on 52 minutes were level when the referee turned down an appeal for a foul on the left and the cross was converted by Adrian Borland, eventually. Although it was a more even game now, the visitors still appeared to have plenty in the tank. There was a superb double block by Wood. From the resultant corner, Jack Elliott headed the winning goal unchallenged on the hour mark. It was mostly the visitors after that although Wood could not be faulted for their efforts. A bright open game, well refereed and played in a superb spirit by both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Clapham Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Wood U18 1-3 Met Police U18 Wood under 18's were knocked out of the Surrey Midweek Cup at Wibbandune by a lively Metropolitan Police side. The game could not have started worse for Wood when a free kick by Michael Eldridge after just 72 seconds in front of the visitor's bench was swung over and eluded everyone to nestle in the far corner of the net. Wood looked too narrow in their play and esxtremely vulnerable at corner kicks. Taylor henderson, playing at centre back and missed in midfield, fired a shot over and Callum Stephens saved well with his feet to deny the visitors. Police missed a golden chance when number 8 fired over having been nicely put in and henderson forced a fine fingertip save from the keeper. From that corner, in the third minute of stoppage time, a far post header was blocked and Rory DaCosta forced the ball over the line. A great time to score but Wood will need to improve all over the park to progress. Two minutes into the second half, the visitors should have been given a penalty for a clumsy tackle and another fine corner went begging as the Wood defence continued to struggle, despite a good calm performance from Montelle Shaw. Number 5 drove over the bar and Ollie archer did well to deny the visitors with a timely block. It was 1-2 on 73 minutes when the unfortunate Jack heard turned the ball into his own net. Stephens produced two further fine saves and Archer, again, came to his rescue soon after when a shot was parried. The game was up on 85 minutes when a sub headed home easily from a corner kick. Despite the defeat, there were a few positive individual performances but, as a team, there was a lack of width and a cutiing edge up front.
