Friendly

I've had to cancel Sunday's friendly as we only have, at most, 10 players available.  However, I have managed to arrange another game for the 16th December at KGV.  

Hopefully, being a Saturday, we will have enough but I would appreciate it if you could let me know if your son is unable to make it.

Thanks
Jon

Axminster Town 1-2 Central United

It was a cracking venue for a football match and ideal conditions too and we made the most of it with some scintillating football which was a pleasure to watch.  

We started really brightly and Oakley soon put us ahead with an excellent low driving shot from the edge of the penalty area that nestled nicely into the bottom left hand corner of the net.  From then on it was one way traffic with Axminster being run ragged with our quick precise passing and the chances kept coming but unfortunately we just couldn't find the back of the net. 

The second half was much the same but we did eventually get a second when Kaden, instinctively, got on the end of a good delivery into the box and smashed the ball home.  The points looked wrapped up until Axminster got one back via a corner which put us on edge for the last 10 minutes.  In a game which could so easily have been 5 or 6-1 anything other than 3 points would have been a massive injustice.   

Man of the Match goes to Kaden for not only getting on the score sheet yet again but for his brilliant link up play as well as demonstrating such great skill and ball control throughout the game. 

Oakley and George deserve a mention for dominating the centre midfield.  

Still unbeaten in the league and now joint top, so a big well done chaps! 

We don't have a game next week but I've been offered a friendly on Sunday morning.  I need to respond asap so if you are unable to make it can you let me know today please.  

See you at training tomorrow.

Central United 4-2 Sidmouth Warriors

A good result yesterday but we did make hard work of it allowing Sidmouth to score 2 quick goals in the second half to peg us back to 3-2.  It was nervy stuff for a bit but we did well to regain control of the game creating plenty of good chances and scoring a forth to seal the 3 points.  

Goals scorers, Alfie 2, Euan and Kaden and Man of the Match goes to Oakley who worked hard in midfield, showed some real quality on the ball and was really unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. 

Luke deserves a mention for some brilliant last ditch tackles. 

Still unbeaten in the league chaps so well done!

See you at training tomorrow.  On that note, I forgot to mention yesterday that I've had a complaint from one of the younger age groups that their sessions are being interrupted by some of you playing on the astro before it's our turn, so can you all make sure you wait patiently on the side until 7pm please - thanks.

Hi all

I've arranged a friendly on Saturday against Lympstone away. The pitch is different from where we played previously and is on the road opposite the Marine Camp main entrance, then about 100 yards past the car park on your right.   

Everyone will get a decent amount of game time but those who have been sub regularly will get a bit more.  Please let me know asap if you are unable to make it.

Central United 0-3 Alphington

It was a well contested cup tie yesterday and much closer than the scoreline suggests.  We played well and were a match for Alphington but once again we gifted the opposition goals, which was frustrating as our defending was so good for the majority of the game.  Marcus in particular, Man of the Match, was superb again with some strong and brave tackling. 

See you all at training tomorrow!

Jon

Saturday

Saturday's game is home to Alphington in the cup.  Due to pitch congestion KO has been brought forward to 10am so 9.30am meet please.

See you then.
