Match report for RTFC weekend 19-20^th November

The First Team


Redhill Town FC 3 Wanderers FC 2

Another stirling performance and 3 points in the bag at the weekend against Wanderers FC. A disappointing start conceding early in the game after a free kick 'too easily' gave the home team the lead but the reds kept their heads and deserved to get back into the game. A foul on Jack Caffyn gave town a free kick, Keith Boys-Guest finding the head of Peter Hames who effortlessly headed across goal to a composed Jack Caffyn who left volleyed it in. It would seem Wanderers did not learn from their first mistake and another free kick was given and Keith Boys-Guest again taking charge simplistically inch perfect to the head of Jack Caffyn with a cheeky little tap in. The reds now confident looked comfortable moving forward, 'Captain Jack' flip flapping past Wanderers midfield releasing and then passing through two red shirts laying off for Peter Hames to finish. But Wanderers were in no way 'handing in the towel' after scoring their second goal and looking for a last minute point, a penalty decision went against town leaving a nail biting end to the game, keeper Fabio Dias calmly watching and waiting with no doubt the pressure mounting and as they struck the ball, bottom right hand corner bound, Fabio reacted swiftly and saved on the line.












Redhill U10a 0- 2 Wolves B

Redhill Town U10A fell to their second defeat of the season against Wolves B.

The first half saw a good start from Redhill Town with some great wing-play from Luke Stevens and Joshua Jeffery to assist Haydn Puttick with a great chance at the near post to be saved off the line, and to assist Zach Layne with his fifth goal of the season and put Redhill Town 1-0 up at half time.

Kane Taylor and Joshua Bayode played out of their skins with another great performance in defence, with great tackling and ball control, and Adam Barber made some remarkable saves to keep Redhill Town in the game. Eventually Redhill Town could not hold out with the constant pressure and conceded two goals to lose their second match of the season 2-0.

Player of the match: Kane Taylor

Epsom & Ewell Youth League Division 7

Redhill Town U10B 2-1 Ashtead Colts U10D 

Redhill Town won a thrilling league encounter at Brambletye last Saturday. Town started positively with Gichini, Balaghee and Krisman all pushing forward, supported admirably by skipper Reuben Newland. Gichini shot wide with just the goalkeeper to beat as he tormented the Ashstead defenders on the left. It therefore came as somewhat of a surprise when the visitors took the lead following a defensive mix-up.

However, Redhill came storming back and were duly awarded a penalty when an opposing defender handled on the line and Reuben Newland stepped up to score to the keepers right. After the break, Redhill came storming forward and were rewarded when Sayon Kirubakaran's long range strike was parried by the keeper leaving Gichini to convert the rebound. Ashstead tried in vain for an equaliser but keeper Ben Payne and defender Toby Newland stood firm to hold out for a well deserved victory.

Redhill: Payne, T.Newland, Kirubakaran, R.Newland, Krisman, Gichini, Balaghee. Sub: Kirupakaran (for Balaghee)

RTFC u11 2 -1 Ashtead Colts b


Redhill U11s grabbed another three points giving them a much needed boost after a difficult start into their first 11-aside season. Bradley Roda worked hard on the left wing and was rewarded opening the score against Ashtead. Harry Pope playing only his second game in goal kept the reds in the game until what looked to be a good clearance rebounded off Ashteads forward hitting Pope only to find it's way in Redhill's net. The reds had plenty of chances to take the lead and ironically late in the second half the reds struck 20 yards out hitting Ashteads defence repeating the fate of the second goal finding it's way into Ashteads net.

Redhill got back to winning ways as they stormed into the quarter-finals of the cup with victory over Chessington Sports.

Redhill were more composed on the ball in the second half and extended their lead in the 41^st minute with a great counter-attack, the ball breaking from defence before some neat passing fed Tickner to power through and slot home.

Further goals from James Smart and Jacob Toney put the result beyond doubt, and sealed Redhill’s place in the last 8.
