SSMFL,D1: Collins previews Winslow’s league encounter with Codicote

October 20, 2017 / / Comments Off on SSMFL,D1: Collins previews Winslow’s league encounter with Codicote
Winslow United’s Mitchell Collins has spoken to Sports Shots as his side prepare to play host to Codicote on Saturday (21st October).

Mitchell Collins

The United left-back has impressed this season with some high-energy performances in giving Winslow a presence in the opposition half for the full 90 minutes.

Tomorrow Codicote visit the gate with former Burnley, Stoke City and Watford striker Gifton Noel-Williams in charge.

Collins reflected on United’s week after their 4-1 local derby win at Buckingham Town in the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy.

We have just had a normal week, everyone training and focusing for our next game. I felt the derby game went very well, we were very dominant throughout most the game and over came any problem that they gave us. It’s always best to win a derby game.

Both Collins and United have started the campaign brightly.

The season is going well for both myself and the team. I’ve been converted from a forward player to a left back, which is going very well for myself and I think the team, technically and physically, we are a match for the league. I also think since the first few games we played, we have become stronger and performing better.

I’m enjoying this campaign a lot. Being with some of the players I played with last year and playing back with a manager I’ve played under before. I think this campaign could be a good one

Next up is tomorrow’s league visit by Codicote.

I don’t know much about them. I know we faced them in the cup and came out 6-0 winners though this was due to a sending off in the early minutes of the game. They are a good passing team like a lot of teams in the league so will be a good battle.

Finally, Collins had to be asked about ‘that goal’ which was well received by social media.

I’ve had a good reaction to that goal. It seems popular to people so I’m hoping to score a few more this campaign and hopefully another one like that.

SSMFL,D2: Woodward joins Grendon for Berko basement battle

October 20, 2017 / / Comments Off on SSMFL,D2: Woodward joins Grendon for Berko basement battle

By Grendon Rangers

Match Preview.
Tomorrow we travel to Berkhamsted Raiders for a bottom of the table crunch match.

Both sides will view this as a chance to gain some much needed points and in turn gather some momentum as the season moves into the winter period.

Last week Rangers went down 0-3 to Mursley United where a Danny Clarke brace was added to by a Delahaye goal to hand Mursley the spoils in a game that Rangers showed some good individual promise but couldn’t click it all into place as a team.
Raiders meanwhile were comfortably beaten by Pitstone and Ivinghoe 4-1. Beard with the Raiders goal.

Rangers will still be without a recognised goalkeeper as the hunt for a regular custodian continues.

There is one major addition to the club though as former Buckingham Athletic U25’s Manager Larry Woodward has joined the management team. He will team with Stuart Leonard with all things selection and match day.

Top Scorer Nathan Perna also returns to the squad for the game which will be a huge boost for the side.

Kick off is 3pm at Ashlyns School Chesham Rd, Hertfordshire HP4 3AH

Manager Steve Farmborough (left) & assistant Sam Pateman (right) celebrate the Buckingham Athletic U18s Allied Counties Youth League, Central Division title with Athletic chairman Tony Checkley.

Pateman told Sports Shots;

A brilliant tie for everyone involved, with an opportunity for the club to have a big crowd, to watch our boys challenge themselves against a Football League clubs U18’s. A perfect tie in that respect.

It will obviously be a massive challenge to get a result but you enter these competitions for that exact reason and hopefully, whatever the outcome we will do ourselves justice because I feel as a group of talented young players, coaches and manager, we all want to prove a point whenever we face a side of their pedigree.

 

FA Vase 1R: Ath looking to emulate club record with Bracknell Vase clash

Buckingham Athletic are looking to emulate their club record achievement when they head to Bracknell Town in the FA Vase, first round tomorrow (Saturday 21st October).

Buckingham Athletic manager Mark Carter

Athletic manager Mark Carter told Sports Shots;

We’re really looking forward to the challenge but are without Neil (King), Chris (Stapleton) and Dan (Hassell). We feel the young lads can cope with the big game, I trust them, and know they will give their all for the team.

Nick Bennion returns after missing last weekend, which is a massive bonus, even though we have two excellent replacements in Lewis (Dench) and Larry (Mills).

This is obviously the biggest game the senior team have been involved in for many years so we’ll be trying our hardest to emulate the great achievements of the youth team.

This is a very good time to be involved with us and we don’t want it to stop here. We are trying to build a great team, on and off the pitch, and I personally think we’re not too far away.

We will have six under 18’s in the 16-man squad again this week, which speaks for itself.

This weekend we will definitely bounce back from the loss last week against Winslow. They battled hard against us and we weren’t at our best. We have a great team and we just need to start showing this every week.

The Robins have enjoyed a positive week preparing.

Everyone trained hard this week, especially this Tuesday, when we had an intense session. We all worked hard because we looking to set things right this Saturday.

The Robins could go second, depending on results, and will be looking to get back at it.

We have had a great start due to everyone working hard and showing their ability on pitch when they had an chance too.

Sports Shots would like to thank Orlando for taking the time to speak to us, support the website and in turn aid our charity fundraising efforts for Macmillan Cancer Support and Vasculitis UK.
