SSMFL,D2: McCormick & Cleere on target as Tottenhoe defeat Mursley

April 10, 2018 / / Comments Off on SSMFL,D2: McCormick & Cleere on target as Tottenhoe defeat Mursley
By Justin Daley
Mursley United slipped to their second narrow defeat in six days, but retained their second position in the table, for the time being, as they lost 2-1 at Totternhoe.

After ten minutes, a long ball forward saw James Wardell glance a back-header towards Jamie Lands in the Mursley goal, but Joel McCormick nipped in to intercept the ball and slide it into the net.

Ten minutes later, the hosts extended their lead when former Mursley striker, Andy Cleere was set up to roll the ball home from ten yards.

After this, Mursley came back into the game, pressurising the home defence and looking to create chances and were rewarded after thirty eight minutes, when Lewis Delahaye rifled home a loose ball from eight yards following a corner.

The second period was virtually all Mursley as they dominated possession, leaving Lands a spectator, as they continued to win balls in midfield and attack and it took a great save from Bowley in the Totternhoe goal to deny Harry Stewart-Procter and retaining all three points for his side.

SSMFL,D2: Park View 2-1 Mursley

February 9, 2018 / / Comments Off on SSMFL,D2: Park View 2-1 Mursley

Report by Justin Daley

A Mursley United side, missing key players, made the long trip to North London to face table-topping Park View and were defeated 2-1.

On a wet and miserable afternoon, the hosts outplayed the visitors in the first half and went 2-0 up through goals from Darkwa and Sanchez. However, in the second period, Mursley matched their high-flying opponents and were rewarded just over a quarter of an hour before time with a goal from Gary Thomas. They continued to exert pressure, but were unable to find an equaliser.

This Saturday, Mursley United have no fixture.

SSMFL,D2: Old Bradwell manager previews weekend league clash

December 22, 2017 / / Comments Off on SSMFL,D2: Old Bradwell manager previews weekend league clash
Old Bradwell manager David Keene has spoken to Sports Shots ahead of this weekend’s game.

 

David Keene

 

I think its fair to say no one is that keen on a trip to Tottenham at any time of the year just 2 days before Christmas to face an unbeaten Park View less so. This will be our 3rd meeting in under 2 months the previous 2 we couldn’t work out how we had lost both. Park View are a good team and have some very good players, they have in my opinion the standout striker in the league in Francis Williams as well and at their place on the Astro Turf (no chance of the weather saving us a trip down there) we know we are in for a tough game.

Our last game was the return league fixture against Park View which we ended up losing 2-1. On both previous games we have spent long periods in their half dominating possession but missing chances and ultimately being caught out on the break on both occasions. Since that game 2 postponements due to the weather have not been ideal.

In general our availability for the game is good. Shaun Ennis and Nick Bardell have gone to Australia to watch the Ashes (good decision at 3-0 down). Tommy Cooke is still finding his way back from injury and we hope he will get some minutes with the reserves on Saturday. Aside from that we have a full quota available and we aim as with all games to go there and try and get something from the game.

Our form is not great, having said that aside from 2 poor performances in the recent 7 or 8 games, we have played well as we showed last time out against Park View.  We need to build the consistency back up and make ourselves hard to beat. That will be the aim on Saturday.

CS&TFL,D1: Raunds Town 2 Buckingham Town 1

December 14, 2017 / / Comments Off on CS&TFL,D1: Raunds Town 2 Buckingham Town 1

The Robins travelled to fourth placed Raunds Town on Saturday and were edged out in a tight but entertaining match. Buckingham were excellent in the first half and could well have gone in at the break with a comfortable lead as first Chris Wreh and then Murdy Maki had chances in the opening seven minutes but found the home keeper in good form to keep their efforts out. Orlando Joao was in great form too and he fashioned three super crosses that just needed tapping home but no finish was applied. Thrussell in the Buckingham goal was rarely troubled as Towns defence handled everything that was thrown at it and with Judickas and Blair probing from midfield it was Buckingham that were asking all the questions.

The breakthrough came on 27 minutes as the home defence scrambled away another Robins attack the ball fell to Chris Wreh who placed a precise shot high into the net from just inside the penalty area. Buckingham richly deserved the lead after totally dominating the opening half hour but Raunds are a good experienced side who themselves have their sights firmly set on promotion and another goal would have been handy before the break knowing that they would have much more of a say in the second half.

As expected it was a different Raunds that came out for the second half and they took the game to the Robins from the off. The equaliser arrived seven minutes after the restart after a quick break and accurate cross was thumped home at the far post. Buckingham were finding it hard to recapture their first half form and struggled for a spell so it was no surprise when Raunds took the lead although it has to be said it came in fortuitous circumstances. At Towns defence took the sting out of another Raunds raid a backpass to Thrussell was charged down by a home forward as the Buckingham keeper cleared and although the ball could have gone anywhere it fell nicely to the striker who rolled it into an empty net. Going behind focussed the mind of the Buckingham lads and they again began to carve out opportunities with Wreh, Judickas and Osei-Addo all having efforts either saved or blocked while at the other end Thrussell  made three great saves as Raunds exploited the space that was available as Buckingham pushed for the leveller. In the end time ran out for Town and they will feel unlucky as they were certainly worthy of a point, maybe even all three but it is Raunds who leapfrogged them into second spot in the table.

Mursley go down to Raiders

December 14, 2017 / / Comments Off on Mursley go down to Raiders

“Mursley United travelled to Berkhamsted Raiders on Saturday and were defeated 3-1.

With a number of players unavailable, manager Anthony Lands was able to field a bare eleven who fought hard, but struggled against an opposition who were more used to playing on the 3G surface. Chances were limited for both sides, but it was the visitors who opened the scoring as Ellis Spence was upended in the penalty area and Adam Bone dispatched the penalty with five minutes remaining before half time. However, the hosts were on level terms before the break when Danso escaped the attentions of the Mursley defence and slotted home past the onrushing Adam Moore, deputising in goal for the absent Sam Jay.

This goal galvanised the home side and they went ahead around the hour mark when Jordan MacDougall’s attempt to clear imminent danger, skewed off his left foot and into the top of the net past Moore. It looked like Danny Clarke had levelled the score ten minutes later, but he was adjudged to have pushed his marker as he bore down on goal and with fifteen minutes remaining, Spence was dismissed for dissent. The ten men of Mursley strove for an equaliser, but in the dying moments and, with players committed forward, substitute Macfarlane broke away and steered the ball past Moore to secure the three points”
