Redhill Town Football Club Report 27-11-11

Redhill Town U10a 1 – 0 South park u10

Redhill Town U10A saved their best football performance for this weekend to beat South Park U10B 1-0 to go up to third in the table.

Redhill Town U10A played a very safe first half, playing with three defenders to soak up all of South Park's early predictable pressure. Redhill Town had many close chances at goal from Charlie Minter and Haydn Puttick due to some brilliant passing moves, and managed to not concede a goal to go in at half time 0-0.

The second half saw Redhill Town take more chances and really attacked South Park, with another outstanding performance from the two wingers, Luke Stevens and Joshua Jeffery, providing the striker, Zach Layne, a great cross into the penalty area, which he turns on a six-pence, to fire a low shot pass the keeper to put Redhill Town into the lead. Zach Layne went close to scoring again giving the spectaters a great performance with some dangerous solo driving runs from half-way. The goalkeeper, Adam Barber, gave a brilliant display saving everything that was thrown at him, especially in some desperate one on one moments, and managed not to concede a goal to help Redhill Town U10A win 1-0 against South Park U10B in a billiant display of football.

Redhill Town U10B

1 Reigate Youth Utd

3

Jamie Duffell made a sparkling debut for Redhill but it was the visitors that took the points in an exciting encounter.

From the left wing, Duffell showed all his dribbling and crossing skills as he set up chances for Gichini and Krisman who volleyed over.

However, it was the visitors that took the lead with a superb strike that gave Town keeper Payne no chance. Despite falling behind, Redhill came back strongly and Duffell's long range strike caught the keeper by surprise to level the scores. The game became end to end but it was Reigate that regained the lead when a right wing cross evaded the home defence leaving the visitors to fire past Payne.

Redhill brought on their subs as they searched for an equaliser and it was no surprise that Duffell was at the heart of their best work. But with Redhill pushing forward, it was the visitors who broke away and scored to take all three points.

Redhill: Payne, T.Newland, Kirubakaran, R.Newland, Krisman, Duffell, Gichini.

Subs: Kirupakaran, Balaghee, Neculai

  

Epsom & Ewell Premier Division – League Match 27/11/2011

Caterham Pumas U12s 0   Redhill Town U12s 6

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

Hat-trick hero Stevens spurs on Reds!

Redhill made things difficult for themselves in the first half as, playing into a strong wind, they ignored the manager’s instructions to keep the ball on the deck, and wasted the few chances they did create.

The second half was, characteristically, much better and Redhill kept up sustained pressure on the Pumas goal.  Ryan Stevens opened the scoring with a shot from a tight angle and then turned provider as his corner was headed home by James Smart.

Stevens’ free-kick from just outside the box crept over the line as the Pumas keeper flapped at the ball, and then leading goalscorer Jack Tickner got on the scoresheet as he ran through from the edge of the box to slot home.

Another Steven’s corner found the net courtesy of a Puma’s defender but not to be denied his hat-trick, Stevens netted with a great long-range effort just as the referee was about to blow for full-time.

 Match reports for Redhill Town  Football Club 3^rd- 4^th December

 Redhill Town U12 Girls   0-7   Molesey Magpies U12

The odds were stacked against the Redhill U12 girls as only 6 players were available to play. Despite this setback the girls battled well against a strong physical Molesey team and even though they had 1 player less the girls still tried to play some passing football. Molesey took the lead after 7 minutes when a corner came across the goal and was fired into the corner at the back post. Jenna Madan in goal made some great saves but Molesey made it 2after 18 minutes. Hannah King and Daniela Fisherova almost combined to get a goal back but the shot was straight at the keeper. Jenna Madan then made a fantastic save on the goal line as Molesey pressed for more. Thea Sangster and Ella Madsen battled in defence to keep them out but Redhill succumbed to a late 3^rd goal just before half time.

In the second half Redhill got some good moves with Eleanor  Sabey, Hannah King and Daniela Fisherova combining to relieve the pressure and made some good runs down the wing, but Molesey were strong and physical in defence. A fourth goal came 5 minutes into the second half, but Redhill continued to pass well and Daniela Fisherova got clean through on goal but seemed to be held back in the penalty area and the chance went. Molesey then fired 2 quick goals and Hannah King almost pulled one back as she got past the last defender but her shot was fractionally wide of the post. Molesey finished the scoring to make it 7-0 but the Redhill girls can be proud of a performance against the odds, when at times they played better football than their more experienced opponents.

Walton Warriors U10B 4 Redhill Town U10B 1

Two own goals contributed to Redhill Town B's 4-1 defeat at Walton Warriors last Saturday.

After an even opening exchange, the home side took the lead when Keeran Kirupakaran's heavy back pass was adjudged to have crossed the line by the referee, despite Redhill's protests - it looked a harsh decision. This spurred the home side on and it wasn't long before they increased their lead when Cripps fired past Payne.

Redhill then had their best spell of the first half and their efforts were rewarded when Duffell's left wing cross was helped on by Gichini to top scorer Sam Krisman who calmly slotted home.

2-1 down at half time, Redhill searched for an equaliser but it was the home side that had the best chances and keeper Ben Payne was tested on a number of occasions.

It was therefore unfortunate when Toby Newland put through his own goal before Fadai netted a late fourth from close range.

Redhill: Payne, T.Newland, R.Newland, Kirupakaran, Krisman, Duffell, Gichini

Subs: Kirubakaran, Balaghee

Redhill Town U10A ran riot again with a convincing 6-1 victory against Ashtead Colts C.

The match began with Charlie Minter giving Redhill Town an early lead, then Zach Layne smashing home a second goal to go in 2-0 up at half time.
The second half saw Redhill Town step up a gear with alot of great tackling and mid-field play by Charlie Minter and Laimilija Gruodyte. There were many close chances to score by Hadyn Puttick and Luke Stevens, but Joshua Jeffery soon started his amazing dribbling runs to score twice to make it 4-0. Ashtead Colts managed to score a concilation goal to make it 4-1. Due to Redhill Town's main goalkeeper, Adam Barber, being out through illness, Joshua Jeffery and Kane Taylor played a half each in the position, and done their team proud with some excellent saves.
The match was finished off with a goal by Zach Layne and a last superb goal, powered in by Joshua Bayode from another low driven cross by Joshua Jeffery to give Redhill Town a convincing 6-1 victory.

Epsom & Ewell Premier Division – League Match 04/12/2011

South Park U12s 3   Redhill Town U12s 1

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

Redhill paid the price as they gifted South Park two early goals before they decided to start playing!

After some sustained pressure, South Park took the lead in the 10^th minute when a lobbed shot evaded Louis Tween in the Redhill goal before hitting the post and trickling over the line.  A minute later, a quick South Park short corner took Redhill by surprise, and the ball was tapped in from close range.

A change in formation helped Redhill to get a grip on the game, and in the 22^nd minute a long corner from Ryan Stevens evaded everyone, before ‘Mop’ Lewer pounced to smash the ball into the top left corner.

Once again, Redhill were a different team in the second half and totally dominated the game.  Several chances went begging, and when Jack Tickner powered through in the 50^th minute a Redhill equaliser looked odds-on but his near-post shot went agonisingly wide when the far-post would have been the better option.

A nervous South Park sealed the win with a simple tap-in when a mix-up between defender and goalkeeper gifted their striker an open goal.

Redhill u13s 2 v 0 Mickleham u13s 4th Dec

Redhill Town FC Weekending 11-12-2011

Redhill Town U9’s   1-2   Epsom & Ewell Colts B

Redhill Town started slowly again in the first half and were under a lot of pressure. Ben Telfer made a good save from a high cross into the area, but he was unable to prevent Epsom & Ewell taking the lead after 10 minutes when the Epsom striker made a good run down the left, cut inside and fired a low shot into the corner. Lukas Fisher and Joshua Beard made 3 great defensive tackles to prevent the score line increasing, but as Redhill struggled to clear their lines under the pressure, Epsom took a 2 goal lead when a cross cut the defence open and the striker had another clear shot at goal which he finished well. A corner for Redhill late in the first half gave them a chance to get a goal back but the shot was wide.

In the second half Redhill came out and played much better and took the game to Epsom & Ewell. Ben Markham and Joshua Bashorun had a great chance to pull a goal back but the keeper saved well both times in quick succession. Joshua Bashorun then got through again only the shot was from a tight angle and didn’t trouble the keeper too much. Soon after another chance went begging as the keeper made a great save just by his post to push the ball wide for a corner, and Joshua Bashorun hit the side netting with another shot. Finally the breakthrough came with 2 minutes to go as Joshua Bashorun got the goal that Redhill deserved with a good finish at the keeper’s near post after a good mazy run down the wing. Redhill pushed for the equaliser but time ran out.

Molesey Magpies   3-0   Redhill Town U12 Girls

Redhill girls faced Molesey for the second time in 2 weeks and while Molesey had a lot of pressure, Redhill made them work very hard for the 3 points. Jenna Madan made a magnificent save low down to her right in the first minute, but was powerless to stop Molesey taking an early lead. Despite the set-back Redhill girls battled heroically with Thea Sangster and Ella Madsen holding firm in defence. Daniela Fisherova almost got a goal but after a long run down the wing the shot went just wide. Jenna Madan then saved a penalty and recovered to get the rebound before the penalty taker could get a second chance as Redhill hung on to half time to go in 1-0 down.

Then second half again saw Redhill under lots of pressure and not helped with Beth Britt had to come off leaving them down to 6 against 7 for the second week running. The team defended heroically but a long shot from outside the box finally put the game out of the girls reach as it flew into the corner of the net. Still Redhill battled and almost pulled a goal back with Hannah King just unable to get the shot off on 2 occasions. Jenna Madan made another great save as she reached up to the top corner to prevent another goal, but as the girls tired Molesey broke late on to seal the win, but it was a fine performance from the Redhill team as they continue to do the club proud.

Epsom & Ewell Premier Division – League Match 11/12/2011

Redhill Town U12s 3   Ashtead Colts 6

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

Redhill were up against it from the start on a heavy pitch and with several key players missing, but they took the lead in the 6^th minute when Mop Lewer headed home from a corner for his second goal in successive matches.

Ashtead were level within a minute, and they added 2 further goals before half-time as the Redhill defence struggled to cope with the sticky conditions.

Two minutes into the second half, Ashtead extended their lead with a long-range shot beyond the reach of Charlie Case-Green, after the ball was given away cheaply by the Redhill defence.

Redhill got a goal back after a great run down the left by Ryan Stevens, whose cross into the box found Tom Parker to thump home from close range.

Redhill’s defensive weakness was then exposed again as the ball was given straight to an Ashtead player to slot home, but further good work down the left by Stevens fed Olly Rose to net his first goal in a Redhill shirt to make it 3-5.  With Redhill gaining confidence, Rose should have had a penalty when he was clearly pulled back, but unseen by the referee.

Ashtead sealed the win with another long-range effort that dipped beyond the reach of Case-Green as, with no substitutes available, Redhill’s legs began to tire.
