Town football matches 22-23 Jan 2011

Looking at the scores below, it was not the best weekend for Redhill Town, but we did have wins from the U9,U10's and U16's , so not all bad.

Anyway here are the reports from some of the matches

Redhill Town U9 4 – 2 Roundshaw colts C U9

Redhill Town U9 take revenge on Roundshaw Colts C in a dramatic 4-2 thriller, to close in on the top two teams in the division.

            The first half saw Redhill Town play an all-out attack 2-3-1 formation, with Tom Hiscock and Joshua Jeffrey, making many driving runs through the Roundshaw defence and testing their goalkeeper, only to be caught out on a counter-attack, to see Roundshaw take the lead, and  Redhill Town going in at half-time 1-0 down.

            The second half saw the introduction of Charlie Minter, Haydn Puttick and Zach Layne to play a more structured 3-2-1 formation. This seemed to have done the trick, with the game slowly turning in Redhill Town's favour when  Zach Layne equalised with 15mins left in the game, with a great solo run and slotting it in the near post. Darren Smith then scored soon after to take the lead 2-1. But Roundshaw Colts were not giving up that easy, and equalised 2-2 with 5 mins to go. Redhill Town then stepped up a gear, with some great defensive tackles from Charlie Minter, Joshua Bayode and Kane Taylor, and some amazing wing-play from Haydn Puttick.The goalkeeper, Adam Barber, also saved  the day with some amazing saves to keep us in the game. Darren Smith scored his 2nd goal,, to take the lead again 3-2. Then finally, to see Zach Layne score a spectacular volley from a Darren Smith corner to secure a final score of 4-2.

Epsom & Ewell League Division 1 – League Match 22/01/2011

Horsley U11s 2   Redhill Town U11s 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some early pressure, Horsley took the lead in the 9^th minute with a lofted shot from the edge of the box which Charlie Case-Green could only dream of reaching as it crept under the bar.

A goal-line clearance by Robin Lewer prevented Horsley from extending their lead and Redhill then started to get back into the game with some fluent passing.  A lovely one-two opened up the Horsley defence and Tom Parker’s shot was pushed up onto the bar by the Horsley goalkeeper, who caught the rebound before it could be poked home.

In the 4^th minute of the second half, Redhill somehow managed to keep the ball out following a goalmouth scramble, and 5 minutes later they were back on level terms.  Ryan O’Donovan’s long-range shot from the touchline was just wide of the post.  The resulting goal-kick fell to Joel Sowton, whose shot deflected off a Horsley defender, completely wrong-footing the goalkeeper.

Horsley’s 48^th minute winner was somewhat debatable.  A cross from the left hit the standing leg of a Redhill defender and headed goalwards.  Case-Green pounced on the loose ball, but it was harshly judged to have already crossed the line.

Redhill continued to press for the equaliser, going close from a corner near the end, and Horsley can consider themselves somewhat fortunate to have held on for the win.

Redhill town Football club 8-9th Jan 2010

With the start of the New Year and the football getting going again with a slightly shakey start, due to the weather after Christmas, thought it was time to relaunch the blog. The reports below are as sent out to the local paper so mainly information from the teams with a few of the weeks, pictures.

Hope you like it.

AFC EWELL B 1 v 1 REDHILL TOWN U9 match report

  

 Redhill Town U9 stay 3rd in the table with a well deserved 1-1 draw against AFC Ewell B.

The first half was a hard fought battle in the midfield, soaking up a lot of early pressure until eventually conceding a goal in the 15th min to go in 1-0 down at half time.

       The second half saw the introduction of Haydn Puttick in midfield and Joshua Bayode in defence which gave a more solid shape to the Redhill town team. Luke Stevens and Haydn Puttick won some very important tackles and created some great passing moves down the wings to eventually set up Zach Layne to score his 12th goal of the season.

       Redhill Town goalkeeper, Adam Barber, had a superb game, making several important one on one saves, to earn RedhillTown a well- deserved 1-1 draw.

                      Man of the match: Zachariah Layne

  

Epsom & Ewell League Division 1 – League Match 08/01/2011

West Byfleet Scorpions U11s 2   Redhill Town U11s 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having not played for 8 weeks it was inevitable that Redhill would be somewhat “match rusty”.  Scorpions had the better of the early exchanges but the Redhill defence held firm.

Having soaked up the early Scorpions’ pressure, Redhill managed their first effort on target in the 14^th minute, and 2 minutes later they were ahead when Harry Williams tapped home from close range. 

Scorpions got themselves back in the game just before half-time when Redhill failed to clear a free-kick and the ball was bundled over the line following a goalmouth scramble.

Redhill started to get their game together in the second half, and re-took the lead in the 53^rd minute.  Joel Sowton’s free-kick from the edge of the box evaded everyone and crept in at the far post.

Scorpions, though, proved they did have a sting in their tail.  With just 2 minutes to go, Scorpions broke down the left and the resulting low cross somehow evaded Case-Green and trickled across the face of the Redhill goal before hitting the far post and crossing the line.

On the balance of play, a draw was probably a fair result, but Redhill will be looking to push on during the remainder of the season.

Rosehill AFC 6 V 4 Redhill Town U12’s

Great second half by Julian Ramsay who scored a hat trick final score 6 to 4 for rosehill afc but a heroic game by Redhill under 12's.

Redhill Town FC U18's vs. Wallington Wanderers. 

Final Score after Extra time 4-4.

Final score after penalties 9-8 To Wallington.

On Sunday town's U18's side took on a tough opponent in Tandridge A league side Wallington Wanderers in the 2^nd round of the league cup.

The game set off at a quick pace with chances at either end. The teams seemed equally matched from the start, and it looked like a stroke of luck would be the only thing to separate the two sides. Luckily this went Town's way. About 15 minutes in town were awarded a corner which was scored directly by Nick Harlow on his Redhill debut. After taking the lead Redhill looked on top throughout, and Steve Buxton had many chances after terrorising the Wallington defence all game, however he was unlucky not to have doubled town's lead before the break.

Town went in 1-0 up at the break.  

When the teams came out for the second half Town started well and looked determined to keep their lead and progress to the next round. This was helped 5 minutes into the second half when Steve Buxton was played through after some good play in the midfield from Jack Caffyn, Nick Harlow and Ross Mcgovern. Buxton was one on one with the keeper and made no mistake in slotting home to put town 2-0 up.

Town started to tire towards the end of the game, and this showed as Wallington got a goal back to make it 2-1 with 15 minutes to go. Town were rocked by this but tried their best to keep their cool. Wallington were then reduced to 10 men after poor discipline from one of the Wallington defenders. However, Wallington then equalized with only 6 minutes of the 90 to go to send the game into extra time.

After a good talking to by manager Anthony Reynolds, town came out working hard and fighting. Unfortunately after a good break from town, Wallington broke away on a counter attack which lead to a goal. The reds looked defeated but didn't give up and gave 100% throughout. On the stroke of half time in extra time, Wallington doubled their lead to go into the break 4-2 up. Anthony Reynolds and the Club's director of football, Janet Creighton, spoke to the side at half time and it seemed to work. Town came out for the last 15 minutes battling hard and as a team. It seemed as though Town were to lose in extra time, when with only 6 minutes of extra time to go, captain Jack Caffyn picked up a loose ball, drove inside and smashed home into the bottom corner with his left foot to get one back for town. This goal seemed to lift the side and give everybody involved a bit more belief. With 30 seconds left to play, the ball was hit long by Town's keeper and man of the match Billy Brawn. Jack Caffyn leaped the highest to head the ball on target and with a slight deflection and in dramatic style, town were level and the game went to penalties.

Town were unlucky not to win this game after going down 9-8 on penalties. But the whole club is proud of the side after the passion and desire shown by the squad. It was a valiant effort and the boys did the club proud, they will now concentrate on climbing the league table.

Hopefully will give you an update to Jan 15-16th this week though not many matches will be played
