Redhill Town FC Match report 19th-20th Feb


Match reports for Redhill Town FC weekend 19th-20th Feb


Redhill Town U9 win 5-0 against Old Coulsdon Colts B

They stay second in the table.
       The first half saw Joshua Jeffrey make powerful runs down the right-wing and bombard the opposition defence with dangerous crosses which eventually fell to Tom Hiscock to smash in his 11th goal of the season, and for Redhill Town to end the first half 1-0 up.
         The second half saw Redhill Town push Luke Stevens and Charlie Minter up into midfield to join Haydn Puttick, and Joshua Jeffrey into attack. The midfield took control of the game with some amazing left-wing runs and crosses from Luke Stevens, and some great tackles and passing moves from Charlie Minter. Joshua Bayode and Kane Taylor had brilliant performances in defence and even saw them play midfield roles for a period of time and both come close to scoring.  There were several close chances on goal from literally every Redhill Town player and eventually Joshua Jeffrey's hard work was rewarded when he scored his well-deserved 2nd goal of the season.The last 15mins saw the introduction of Zach Layne and Darren Smith, to add some fire-power in attack, which resulted in Zach Layne scoring a seemingly effortless quick hat-trick to extend the lead to 5-0. The goalkeeper, Adam Barber, had a reasonably quiet game, but was forced to pull off a couple of spectacular second-half saves to keep his clean sheet, and to help secure Redhill Town with a brilliant 5-0 victory.
                  Player of the Match: Charlie Minter
  
Epsom & Ewell League Division 1 – League Match 19/02/2011
Elm Grove Colts 1   Redhill Town U11s 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Having lost 7-2 to Elm Grove the previous week, Redhill turned the form book on its head to inflict Elm Grove’s first defeat of the season and put a dent in their title aspirations.

Having absorbed some early Elm Grove pressure, Redhill took the lead in the 19th minute when from a corner, new signing Jack Tickner flicked the ball over his shoulder to beat the keeper at the far post.

Just 3 minutes later Elm Grove were level from the penalty spot, following a needless handball in the box, and some superb goalkeeping from Charlie Case-Green kept the score at 1-1 at half-time.

Just after the break, Case-Green was beaten by a lob, but the ball was headed off the line by Robin Lewer, and a couple of minutes later Case-Green raced off his line to make an excellent block.

In the 42nd minute, Tickner took the ball down the left, and his shot from a tight angle beat the keeper and crossed the line before the defender could react.

6 minutes later, Redhill extended their lead with a superb strike from Harry Williams.  A Redhill corner was cleared, but Williams flicked the ball up and volleyed home from 25 yards.  Great technique for one so young, and a goal any professional would have been proud of.

Redhill’s defence held firm for the rest of the game, marshalled well by Lewer and James Smart, with further notable saves from Case-Green in goal.

An excellent result for Redhill, befitting of one of their best performances of the season.



Flint does the trick as Redhill Town U13's win

Redhill Town U 13's continued their impressive run with an emphatic 5 - 3 victory over AFC Ewell A.
An even start to the game saw both sides have good chances with Josh Stevens tipping a goalward shot onto the bar.
However in the 20th minute the Reds broke the deadlock with Dylan Charman linking well with Sebastian Flint who fired in the shot.
The lead was doubled minutes later when again Charman providing the pass for Owen Brown to muscle his way through the AFC defence and leave the keeper stranded with his powerful strike.
The second half saw AFC Ewell press back the Reds where they reduced the defecit.
Reds came back with Flint attacking a cross ball into the penalty area to secure the two goal advantage.
Redhill mounted pressure on the AFC goal which resulted in an own goal.
In the final minutes of the game AFC rallyed to score two goals but it was Flint who secured the three points for the Reds
with the Reds fifth and his hat trick .
Team: Josh Stevens,Ben Williams,Max Geddes,Kallum Cole,Adam Endsleigh,Matthew Swetman,Aaron Holder,Dylan Charman,Luke Charsley,Sebastian Flint,Owen Brown.

Redhill Town FC u10 1-1 Reigate priory FC

We drew today 1-1, we gotta hope Reigate Priory FC draw or lose in the remaining games for us to win the league!!! 

Redhill Town U10s faced Reigate Priory FC in a battle which both teams will have felt in the end a draw was a fair result. Town taking the lead in the first half after creative passing and attacking play from Danny Pescud, Dale Wooster and Harry Pope who shot and left the ball to creep its way just over the line. The second half Priory fought back, strong defending by man of the match Bradley Roda and keeper Lewis Turtle looked like all the points were going to the home team, however this quickly changed with 8 seconds on the clock and a sudden lapse in concentration leaving the score 1-1. Lewis Turtle, Bradley Roda, Nathan Denyer, Ryan Hames, Danny Pescud, Lewis Storey, Dale Wooster, Nathen Pederson, Chris Selsdon, Ronnie Stubbs, Harry Pope.



Epsom & Ewell League Division 1 – League Match 12/02/2011
Redhill Town U11s 2  Elm Grove Colts 7


Despite some January transfer-window activity, Redhill were undone by Elm Grove’s one-man-show, their super-quick striker scoring 5 of their 7 goals.

On a sticky, heavy pitch Elm Grove took the lead in the 6th minute when a cross was spilled by Charlie Case-Green and the ball was prodded home from close-range.  Two minutes later Elm Grove extended their lead after Redhill failed several attempts to clear the loose ball, and on 14 minutes a long ball split the Redhill defence, leaving ‘super-quick’ to race through and slot home.

In the 17th minute, Case-Green raced off his line to intercept another long-ball, getting injured in the process.  The resulting Elm Grove free-kick was blocked, but the ball fell to ‘super-quick’ who toe punted the rebound beyond Case-Green’s reach for his hat-trick.

Redhill’s first meaningful attack came in the 20th minute, but the goal-bound shot was turned round for a corner.

A concussed Case-Green was then replaced in goal by Harry Williams, but Elm Grove extended their lead further to lead 5-0 at half-time, and leave Redhill with a Newcastle-like mountain to climb.
 
Once ‘super-quick’ had scored his 5th goal in the 35th minute, he was withdrawn and the game suddenly evened itself out, with several Redhill attacks thwarted by the Elm Grove keeper.

In the 44th minute, an Elm Grove goal-kick fell to Joel Sowton, who showed great control to volley the ball back beyond the reach of the keeper from fully 30 yards.  5 minutes later, Elm Grove scored again, but Redhill got their ‘second half equaliser’ just before the final whistle when Tom Parker blasted home after a Redhill corner.

Redhill will need to work on stopping ‘super-quick’ when the 2 sides meet in the reverse fixture this coming weekend.
  

Redhill Town U13's get braces
 Whyteleafe U 13's 1 v 4 Redhill Town U 13's

Redhill Town U 13's continued their impressive form with a fine 4 - 1 victory over Whyteleafe.
In difficult conditions the Reds were slow to settle but a goal from Owen Brown on his debut gave the Reds a 1 - 0 half time lead.
The second half again saw the Reds struggling to cope with Whyteleafe equalising soon after the start.
However this spurned the Reds into action with Brown again up front crossing the ball for Sebastian Flint to leap above the defence and
power his header home.
The Reds were now full of confidence with the defence thwarting any Whyteleafe attacks and and started to dominate.
The third goal was Flints second of the game as he speed at the home defence and drilled his shot low into the far corner.
Redhill continued to look for goals and it was Bown to secure his brace and the Reds threee points when he thundered his shot past the goalkeeper 
to mark an impressive debut.
On this current form the Reds look full of confidence and belief.
Team:Josh Stevens,Ben Williams,Max Geddes,Adam Endsleigh,Matthew Swetman,Joley Lawrence,Luke Charsley,Dylan Charman,Thomas Charlton, Owen Brown,Sebastian Flint.   


Redhill Town FC u16 3-2 Oxshot Royals

Redhill U16s continued to climb the table after a hard fought victory over Oxshot  Royals in the Epsom and Ewell league.
On a windy and rain soaked pitch Redhill found themselves one down shortly after the start.Oxshot looked likely to extend their lead by some last ditch tackling kept them out.
Slowly Redhill came back in to the game and after a period of pressure Matt Walsh slotted the ball home to equalise.
In the second, the conditions deteriorated making it hard to play good football but Redhill started brightly.  However, Oxshot were quick on the break and took the lead again against the run of play.
Redhill, playing the better football, pushed Oxshot  back and an equaliser came from top scorer, Ashley Maynard.  Redhill continued to press and Elliott Steventon coolly lobbed the keeper to make it 3 - 2 with just minutes to spare.

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.
                              Man of the match : Charlie Minter 

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 9th 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 4th 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 48th 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.







AFC Ewell u14's 4 v 2 Redhill Town u14's b



After a long break due to weather, redhill were chomping at the bit to get their first game of the year.
playing a side that were 2nd in the division, redhill put pressure on their defense from the off.
after 10 mins, redhill broke away to score the first goal of the game - with cezar hitting home a rebound off the keeper.
redhill kept pressing but ewell broke away to pull a goal back 10 mins before half time.
from the restart, redhill went on the attack again and with 5 mins of the half remaining the ball was played into the box from a corner - with jordan hitting the ball into the back of the net.
with the second half starting with a 2-1 lead to redhill, ewell broke and scored a further goal.
redhill were constantly pressing to get the equaliser but ewell scored a further goal making the final score 4-2 to ewell.
both teams played good football under very heavy conditions.




Redhill U16 2 v 0 Woodmanstern

Redhill U16s powered to a victory over Woodmansterne.  Dominating from th start Redhill were unlucky not to score in the first half after creating a hatful of chances.
It was more of the same in the sceond half. Harrison Dauncey cooly opened the score with a well taken volley from just inside the box.  A second was added shortly after when Elliott Steventon pulled the ball back for Ashley Maynard to score and make the points saved.  Redhill continued to stream forward and were unlucky not to score again before the end.

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 14th 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 53rd 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


Match started with a 10 man Redhill team, rosehill afc scored the first goal, but Redhill fought back with a superb goal from tayla Payne, Rosehill afc went in at half time 2 up. 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 2nd 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
