Saturday 16th January Match Thread

[Krooner]

Eventually got to HW at 3.30 this afternoon to witness a feisty last 15 minutes of the 2nd half.

 

the majority of the 2nd half belonged to Bradford who really should have made more of their chances.  HW keeper made a couple of decent saves and one worldy that was heading into the top corner for an OG.  HW hung on in there marshalled at the back superbly by Nokes and with Cook and Argent up front you always felt they would have a chance.  And so it proved with 15 to go when Cook broke free and never looked like missing and he repeated the trick into stoppage time to secure a great victory for HW.

 

I guess their poor secretary now has to worry about the Hereford Hoardes coming in 14 days time

Pennies in the bank though, Kroons !!

Thanks to fellow CCL team Redhill who were able to provide us with a friendly after our game was called off.

 

Redhill 1-2 South Park Reserves

[bomaya]

Saw Knaphill at Kidlington today. Feisty full-bloodied cup tie that ended 3-2 to Kidlington. Knaphill gave the first goal away (bad free kick by keeper) and allowed easy header for 2nd. HT 2-0.

 

Second half was all Knaphill but they could only pull one back (through impressive nippy sub that Johno wanted on earlier) before the 90. Kidy broke and made it 3-1 in stoppage time but the Knappers didn't give up and scored another from a scrambled corner in the final minute of the 95.

 

Unlucky for Knaphill but I think Kidlington JUST deserved it overall. Good game though.

Badshot Lea 2-1 Windsor

 

Shocking game. BL had 2 shots, 1st minute and last kick of the game - both excellent strikes. Windsor, as has become our way, huffed and puffed, created loads of chances but proved unable to shoot straight. Or shoot at all. Bit threadbare at the moment, winger as striker, right back on the wing, striker as central defender, centre midfielder on the other wing, goalkeeper with sickness bug. As always, we worked hard, had more possession but lacked penetration and the final ball.

 

Windsor scored fairly late in the game, had all the momentum and looked likely to win, then BL's young and somewhat diminutive keeper made a fantastic point blank save in the last minute and then they went up the other end and scored. Cue huge celebrations and good luck to them.

 

Shocking pitch. Nobody's fault, the pitch just gets too many games on it by the looks of it. HOWEVER, absolutely shocking form that BL's subs (and others) had an extended kick about session in the f-ing penalty area at half time. Coach setting up shots from the edge of the area. That is just ridiculous. The groundsman, if he'd been there would / should have chased them off with a bloody pitchfork.

 

Absolutely shocking referee. Booked anything that moved. Pathetic display on a surface that needed a sympathetic handler.

 

Not a lot of fun was had.

 

Roll on Tuesday!!

I agree the pitch isn't good & totally agree if I was there I would have had a got them out of the area..( players just don't learn...they moan about pitches but then just don't use common sense & wreck them) ( saw the same at the game I watched with both sides at ht just hammering the penalty area)

All in all then, Rother, pretty shocking !!
