sarisbury went into the semi as favourites but it was hillcrest who started the stronger ,playing some good football and stretching sarisbury at every opportunity,george taylor in the sarisbury goal made a couple of good stops and bradley morris made an unbelievable goalline clearance to keep the scores level but continuous hillcrest pressure told in the end when they scored with a tap in at the far post,sarisbury could not get into the game as hillcrest dominated,they created a few half chances to increase their lead but sarisbury equalised when harry osman chased down a long through ball and netted,and right on half time sarisbury were awarded a penalty when aiden sherlock had his shirt pulled ,the penalty was scored by george robinson. half time 2 – 1

changes were made at half time and this had an immediate effect as jack bannister got on the end of a louis griffiths cross to poke home,sarisbury sat back and let hillcrest run the game for a 10 minute spell before some good work by louis woodhouse allowed nick yeomans to score from just inside the area.a jacob scoates through ball was picked up by ryan garner who beat three players before scoring,then jack weaver fired narrowly wide, and right at the end of the game george robinson fired in a free kick from a 30 yards after jack richards had been brought down.full time 6 – 1

warsash warriors V sarisbury sparks

southeast84 — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 20:07:12 +0000

todays match was always going to be a battle with all of our local rivalry etc and we had something to prove after our last meeting which ended in a 4 1 defeat,we started the game well and pushed warsash back into their own half without creating any real chances,as the half went on warsash came into the game and began to dominate the midfield,this put us under a lot of pressure but warsash were unable to create any chances until right on half time when the warsash forward blazed over from a good position.half time

the boys came out for the 2nd half and never stopped hassling the warsash players who were in possession of the ball,this made it easier for our defenders who dealt with all the warsash attacks well,sarisbury began to apply some pressure to the warsash goal and finally tested the keeper with some efforts from distance,the game then flowed from end to end with both teams battling well and playing good football then with a couple of minutes left sarisbury burst through and fired narrowly wide,this was the last real action of the match as it ended goalless,a first for sarisbury in 4 years of football

many thanks to ian yeomans for running the line and to the young referee,also i would like to thank everyone for supporting the boys once again

we started the game with a bare eleven as a couple of parents spent the morning driving round the lovely hampshire countryside looking for the pitch,this didnt affect us as we began brightly with some good link up play between louis woodhouse and jack bannister creating several half chances which were not taken,littleton began to come into the game and soon took the lead when some slack marking allowed the littleton striker to score from just inside the area,sarisbury replied almost immediately when harry osman pounced on a defensive error to prod home,more chances came for sarisbury before littleton retook the lead when the forward got in behind the defence and slotted home,once again sarisbury got a quick reply when harry osman made the most of some defensive error and smashed it home.half time 2 - 2

the second half began like the first ended with some great end to end football and it wasnt long before sarisbury took the lead when louis griffiths smashed home his 1st goal for the team in 4 years of trying and he was promptly bundled by every member of the team,sarisbury began to dominate the game and went further ahead when bradley morris smashed home the ball after some great play between nick yeomans and ryan garner set him up at the back post,sarisbury then made it 5 when jack richards crossed for bradley morris to volley in from a tight angle at the far post,littleton then fought there way back into it when the forward out paced the defence and steered it into the bottom corner and with a minute to go littleton scored again when a scramble in the box was prodded home .the final minute was a bit nervy but we held out for the win.a superb effort from all the boys

many thanks to the ref who was excellent and to phil scoates for running the line and a big thankyou to all the supporters for coming to watch

sarisbury sparks V wellow youth

southeast84 — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:20:01 +0000

before the match we held a minutes silence in honour of joyce singleton who sadly passed away this week.the match was always going to be a tight one as all our games against this team have been,and the first quarter was a midfield battle with very few chances,wellow almost scored when a long range effort was tipped round the post brilliantly by george taylor,from the goal kick we took the lead when ryan garner beat the offside trap and coolly finished past the wellow keeper the game continued in the same vein until right on half time when some excellent play by jack richards set up nick yeomans to fire home.
the second half began with sarisbury on top and it was soon 3 when ryan garner beat two players and fired home.ryan quickly completed his hat trick when a fine cross from louis woodhouse picked him out for an easy tap in to make it 4-0,sarisbury really piled the pressure on harry osman made it 5 when his quick reaction headed the ball home after a failed clearance.harry then made it 6-0 when he controlled well in the box spun and finished from a bradley morris cross.this was the final score
sarisbury 6 – 0 wellow
many thanks to john sherlock and ian yeomans for running the line,and to ian morris for refereeing(i was brilliant again),and to all the supporterswho turned out to watch,but mostly i would like to thank all the boys for the tremendous effort they put in.

newchurch colts V sarisbury sparks

southeast84 — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:51:11 +0000

this was our first match in the hampshire cup and we were drawn away to newchurch on the isle of wight.the match started in beautiful sunshine and straight away sarisbury began knocking the ball around well and keeping good possession,no real chances were created until the 20th minute when the ball was squared across the area and bradley morris shot narrowly wide from 25 yards,almost immediately newchurch scored with their first attack when an excellent run from their right winger took him past three sarisbury players and he squared for the striker to tap into an empty net,sarisbury seemed a bit shocked by this and newchurch began to dominate the match,it was nearly half time when some neat inter play between harry osman and jack bannister set up nick yeomans to score from 20yards.

the second half started badly when some indecision in the sarisbury defence allowed newchurch to score again,the game was turning into a midfield battle with chances few and far between, after about 20 minutes newchurch extended their lead when everybody left a ball that they thought was going wide and it trickled in off the post,sarisbury pulled one back through nick yeomans with a couple of minutes left to make it an exciting end but newchurch held on for the win

final score newchurch 3 2 sarisbury

many thanks to phil scoates for running the line and to all the supporters who made the journey to the island.lastly i would like to thank newchurch for all the hospitality shown to us all of our boys had a fantastic day,good luck in the next round of the cup

wyvern V sarisbury sparks

southeast84 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:00:11 +0000

our first cup match saw us paired with wyvern so we knew that we would be in for a tough game.wyvern started like a train and soon went into the lead with a well worked goal,within minutes it was 2-0 as wyvern waltzed through our midfield and defence again and finished neatly,it got worse for sarisbury when wyvern increased their lead by even more with a ball over the top that beat everyone except the wyvern striker who calmly finished past the onrushing george taylor in the sarisbury goal.we eventually got a foothold in the game when some excellent play between ryan garner and nick yeomans ended with ryan finishing well,soon after this we allowed another wyvern attack to end up in the back of the net with some sloppy play and right on half time they scored again to make it 5 – 1

the second half began much better for sarisbury as a few nice moves ended with nick yeomans finishing from just outside the area.sarisbury were playing with more passion now (which wasnt difficult) and nick yeomans pulled another one back with a neat finish,wyvern come back into the game and scored again when every sarisbury player stopped for offside and the wyvern player didn’t,sarisbury replied again with a looping shot from ryan garner,we then had numerous chances to score again but we either shot straight at the keeper or hit the post(twice) or narrowly wide.right on full time wyvern scored again with sarisbury pushing everyone forward they broke away and finished the match 7 – 4 winners.

good luck to wyvern in the next round,they were worthy winners.hopefully this match would be a lesson to all our players that anything less than 100% commitment wont get you anywhere,teams at this level will not just let you play football and lay down to be beaten

many thanks to paul griffiths for running the line , we really appreciate it
