January 31st 2011 - Saltdean Utd 5 Rottingdean Village Blue 1

After conceding a goal within 16 seconds the Tigers roared back to win 5-1.  Some super football brought a goal from Aaron in the 1st half to level and we could have had a few more as shots whistled by the post as we played against the wind.  A late reprieve in the half as Rottingdean hit the bar before we came out in the second and played with the wind and scored the goals to comfortably seal the game.  Highlight of the half being Luke smashing a back post volley from a huge cross, great half.  In the second game in which we lost narrowly 1-0 despite hitting post and missing numerous open goals, one shown in the pics.

Jacob feels the force of the Rottingdean forward in his man of the match performance..

Defending an early corner in the 4-1 victory over Patcham which continues our excellent pre season form.  Spencer continues to make the mark with an hat-trick in the first game and Aaron win's the second game with a long range effort to put competition on the golden boot this season.

Meridian Home Pre Season Aug 10
Movement, just needs a pass to Luke on a diagonal and he could then get the ball across from the corner of the box for Spence on a straight run!!! I love this picture, all on the move.

Sovereign Saints Tournament July 2010
Agonisingly, due to a goal being disallowed in the Rottingdean game the scoreline remained at 1-1. This cost us going through to the Semi final.  It was a valid goal after Luke had been fouled he went on to score. The ref pulled it back to give Luke a free kick which unfortunately shot over the bar…what can you do.. !! The boys were fantastic and a ref’s ill decision cost us at the end . WE ONLY conceeed one goal!

Marle Place Wanderers Away 24 January 10

Harry lets fly with a brilliant long range curling effort from outside the box in the first half against Marle Place, an effort that was heading for the top left hand corner before the keeper somehow parried it over.

Roffey Robins Home 17 January 10

Luke strikes a fabulous long range free kick into the top left corner.  This was his second of the day and the team's third.  Yet another hat-trick for Luke in the 4-3 victory over Roffey.

Sovereign Saints Home 3 January 10

Hat-trick hero Luke gets off another shot in the 4-1 victory over Sovereign Saints to start 2010 with a victory and maintain the unbeaten records for the Red Team this season. A succesful start to the next decade, remaining pics in the gallery, thanks Mat!





Ratton Rangers Away (Game 1)- 13 December 2009

Thomas finally gets the goal our play deserves by slamming the ball beyond the keeper at about our 15th attempt on target against Ratton away.  Unbelievably, we conceded a second goal immediately after this and had to chase the game again with Luke managing to secure a draw in what was a very one sided game. Goes to show that chances must be converted against better teams or you will be punished, but we keep our unbeaten record intact with a 2-2 draw.


The rest of the pictures I have selected below for game 1, I will post selected game 2 shortly pictures shortly. I have included below all pictures from a gallery so click on a picture to go through to the site were the pictures are hosted if you wish to download one (Mat took a few so thanks to Mat as ever for supplying superb pictures of the boys in action).

Withdean Youth Home - 22 November 2009

Kris shows just how alert he is when he gathers the ball.  Here he is running to the edge of his box looking for the ball out.  He released Luke and it resulted in a fantastic counter attack against the wind when Luke took the ball forward and played Harry who turned his defender only to see his shot parried high. Great football with a final outcome, very pleasing.

Patcham United Away  - 26 September 2009
The 2nd goal in full, Thomas places a pass across to Luke who strikes it perfectly leaving the keeper to do the rest, collect it from the onion bag!

And then Thomas gets the 3rd to wrap up a fine 3-0 win against one of the more accomplished teams in Sussex - no doubt David from Patcham will be looking for revenge at some point this season:

And the rest:

With a lovely finish with the outside of his foot Harry slots home the tigers 2nd goal in our 3-2 win in the first game against Rottingdean Blue.

Ratton Rangers Home - 13 September 2009

Luke hits the post twice and both he and Thomas have efforts cleared off the line in a matter of seconds following a corner from Bailey in a tense and thrilling finale to the first game against Ratton Rangers - phew! The game ended 1-1, a fair reflection of the tremendous effort put in by both teams.
