Hawley Raiders v Binfield Torpedoes 26/04/08Hawley Raiders 2 - 1 Binfield Torpedoes 10h00 kick off. Tue 26th April 2008. Venue : Hawley Leisure Centre. League Match. Conditions : Sunny, mild. Pitch firm. Attendance - 19. Binfield Players : Adriano, Billy, Brandon, Jamie, Josh, Louie, Michael, Steven.
In a squad possessing three left and two right wingers, all with exceptional pace and control, coupled with the training in recent weeks emphasising the need to find space and utilise the wings, it was a disappointment to discover the postage stamp pitch we had to play on. Still both teams had to play on the same pitch, so there can be no excuses.
First Half.
The first half saw the Torpedoes attacking well, and creating some good moves, eventually leading to Louie scoring a well taken goal. Just as the boys seemed to be taking control of the game and with the defence playing well, Hawley scored an equaliser that seemed to have a major demoralising effect on the whole team. Moments later Hawley scored a second, after Jamie had brilliantly stopped their first effort, and the boys were genuinely shocked that they had been playing so well, but were now losing. Steven was unlucky not to get the Torpedoes back into the game when his shot hit the cross bar.
Second half.
With twelve players out on a small pitch the game deteriorated into a crowded midfield scrum. The Torpedoes seemed to have lost their passing game, and with the ball being punted from end to end or side to side, most of the time was spent in the bushes retrieving the ball for a throw in or goal kick. Hawley were finishing the game the stronger and Jamie and the defence did well to hold out. Billy had a chance to snatch a point for the Torpedoes as he burst through from midfield to smack a great shot against the post.
Goals - Louie.
Man of the Match - Michael. Binfield Torpedoes v Ascot United Royals 15/04/08Binfield Torpedoes 3 - 2 Ascot United Royals 18h30 kick off. Tue 15th April 2008. Venue : Stubbs Lane. League Match. Conditions : Cold, windy. Pitch firm. Attendance - 29. Binfield Players : Adriano, Billy, Brandon, Jamie, Josh, Louie, Seb, Steven. First half. A dreary windy Tuesday evening. After the kick off the Torpedoes simply couldn’t string a decent pass together. Every challenge was won by Ascot. Brandon shot off from the pack to latch on from a long pass from Josh with only the keeper to beat, only to trip over the ball. A dubious free kick given away which led to a goal from long range 0-1. Soon after kick off, with heads down it was much the same. Instead of passing the ball, the Torpedoes seemed to be trying to kick it as hard as they could at each other, only to get onslaught after onslaught with Jamie making save after save.Another easy ball given away led to another shot from Ascot with Jamie picking the ball out of the back of the net again 0-2. After a good build up on the right, Steven had the goal in sight; he produced a scorching shot which was handled in the box and resulted in a penalty and he nervously (by his own admission) stepped up to make it 1-2. Second Half It was apparent that it was a different team that ran out onto the pitch, must have been the pep talk from the managers. With heads held high Torpedoes were straight on the attack, from a cross from Billy on the left Louie had a shot saved and earning a corner. Ascot hit back but Seb was like a pit-bull in defence, he just wouldn’t let go not letting Ascot put a cross in. Josh was in central midfield and winning the ball passed it out to Billy who shot just over the bar.Ascot was now on the ropes and with some excellent tackling from Adriano the ball came out to Brandon who put in a well placed cross to Louie. Louie then chipped the ball up to loop it straight over the goalkeeper leaving him in a crumpled mess in the back of the net with the ball 2-2. The last five minutes were hectic with Seb intercepting the ball and doing a quick one -two with Adriano to lay the ball off to Josh who ran past two of Ascot to pass to Steven on the right. With Steven’s blistering pace the ball seemed to stick to his feet as he dummied a player to lay it on to Louie who passed it straight back for Steven to smash the ball past the keeper and straight through the back of the net to make it 3-2. A couple more nervous moments before the referee eventually blew the final whistle. A hard fought win. Goals: Steven 2, Louie 1 Man of the Match: Brandon Sandhurst Town Eagles v Binfield Torpedoes 12/04/08Sandhurst Town Eagles 4 - 5 Binfield Torpedoes. 9.00 kick off. Sat 12th April 2008. Venue : Sandhurst. League Match. Conditions : Cold. Pitch firm. Attendance - 23. Binfield Players : Adriano, Billy, Brandon, Jamie, Josh, Louie, Michael, Seb, Steven. First Half. The game started at a hectic pace with good end to end play. The Torpedoes soon got into a groove and the passing and running was fantastic to watch. An early poachers goal from Louie was soon followed up by another Louie strike after a great cross from Michael. Adriano and Seb were playing very well at the back and Sandhurst were only allowed to a few half chances. Louie missed the chance of a hat trick as his goal bound shot was inadvertently cleared off the line by one of his own team-mates. Jamie was in command of his area, and Steven and Billy were full of running. Josh dominated the midfield and his awareness of a pass was exceptional, especially when he put Brandon through to shoot the Torpedoes into a three nil half time lead. Second Half. Three nil up, the game looked won at half time....this was not to be the case ! A bit of over confidence and complancy crept into the Torpedoes game, coupled by a re-vitalised Sandhurst team that was obviously responding to whatever their manager had told them at half time. A flying one handed save by Jamie to stop a certain goal was an early warning, but two quick Sandhurst goals got the Torpedoes supporters feeling a bit uncomfortable.The game was pulled back to 2-3. The boys seemed to have faith in their ability, and when Billy played a slide rule pass to Michael, he beat the defender to the ball and clipped his shot over the advancing keeper. Another great run and cross from Billy put Brandon through to score with a precise finish that was to be the match winning goal. Sandhurst got another couple of goals back, but time finally ran out on their gallant fight back. A nine goal thriller, with plenty of entertaining attacking football. Well done both teams. Goals - Louie (2), Brandon, Michael, Own goal Man of the Match - Brandon. Finchampstead Athletic v Binfield Torpedoes 01/04/08Finchampstead Athletic 1- 3 Binfield Torpedoes 18:15 kick off. Tuesday 1st April 2008. Venue : Finchampstead. League Match. Conditions : Cool. Pitch firm. Attendance - 237. Binfield Players : Adriano, Billy, Brandon, Josh, Louie, Michael, Steven
On a lovely early April evening, the Torpedoes took on improving Finch!
First Half
After 30 seconds, it was clear that the Jekyll team had turned up – rather then the Hyde from the last match. The boys piled on the pressure with wave after wave of great attacking play on an excellent playing surface.
The Finch keeper was in great form as he made saves from all angles.
It was only a matter of time before the goal came - and it was a great move. The ball was played down the left, and Adriano produced a great cross for Josh to nod home through a crowded penalty area.
Half time came with the boys well placed.
Second Half
The second half continued where the first had left off. A great shot/cross from Michael hit the bar, and Louie was on hand to force the ball over the line. This was followed soon after by another headed goal from Josh - direct from a great Brandon corner.
Finch managed a consolation goal just before the end.
A great performance and win!
Goals: Josh (2), Louie Man of the Match: Adriano
