Anyone reading the score don't let it fool you. A 9 man Stanford take on top of the League Milton. What a great half the kids played, everyone battled and we had the better chances in the 1st half but it just wouldn't fall for us. We went in at half time 0-0. Then the 2nd half. Well, they weren't sure a draw would help their chances of winning the title so 9 man Stanford have to play 12 man Milton..it seemed the only way we could lose was with a little help. Early in the 2nd half Milton are playing some nice passing down the right wing but not going anywere. They played the ball back and then forward again, lino flag up - Offside! (or so we all thought). We stop but they carry on with the lino flag flapping in the wind, a good 8 ft as he's not short. They cross and tap in making it 1-0. The Referree carries on and gives the goal (joke) but hey-ho. That was enough for the kids with all of their hard work undone, you see them all just deflate like a quick puncture (why? - because adults couldn't dare to see there team lose). We kept battling but we didn't get anything for the rest of the half, flag being ignored (if they had a chance at goal), handballs, play-on after fouls, it was a joke of a 2nd half. We ran out of steam for the last 15 mins and most of the goals went in then but we never gave up. I think with a fair Referree it would have been a different score (not saying we would have won but it would have been closer). Stanford played the right game in the right spirt. Stanford kids can hold there heads high and be proud of what they achieved today - a great game!

Match Report

We started slowly today going down 1-0 early on and it could have been more but for some good defending and goalkeeping. The slow start might have been that we changed the team around but it all came good in the end. When we did find our feet we started to take control Mattie opened the scoring and then scored 2 more in the 1st half to make it 3-1 at half time. It was one-way traffic for most of the 2nd half with James, Graham, Tom and Griggsy all going close but for some great goalkeeping from the opposite no 1. Mattie then scored 3 more and Hendred scoring 1, a deserved goal as they had worked very hard. Marky adding 1 more to make the final score 7-2. Some great moments of football by the kids.

A great display from the boys today against a good strong side. Summertown took the lead early on with Mattie levelling it up just before half time with the move of the match. It was quite even, with us trying to hit them on the counter attack with our back three and keeper stopping whatever they threw at us. They get a break through winning a penalty for hand-ball (don't know what the Ref saw - he he). They shoot and Reuban saves but they get to the re-bound 1st making it 1-2. We then went all out for the equaliser with their centre-back stopping most attacks - very fast very good. They then get the 3rd with a counter late on. A great game played by both teams so well done one and all.

Stanford got of to a real slow start going down to 3 goals in the first 15 mins.but the kids rallied and showed a real fighting spirt to try and get back into the game with Griggsy and Marky going close before the end of the 1st half. 2nd half the same again some good chances but it just wouldn't go in. They then scored a 4th and if it wasn't for some very poor reffing this game would have been a hell of a lot closer. We got our break through when we were awarded a indirect free kick for handball????? outside the box (at long last). Marky passes the ball right to Mattie who takes one defender on and then shots into the top corner (cracking goal!). A great game from the kids, well done.

A lot to say in this game. A great start by the kids in their first game of proper footie (11 aside). The game started off nicely within the first ten mins. We get a good passing move going with Griggsy picking the ball up 25 yards out. He decides to run at them, does one then two, keeper comes out and takes it round him slotting it in for 1-0 (so cool). Again we pick the ball up in defence, pass it out through midfield who in turn play it to the forwards. Griggsy picks it up and runs at them, slotting it in the far corner making it 2-0. The next goal comes from a great move starting with Rueban who plays it out wide to George who in turns plays it to Mattie who plays it to Griggsy who puts the ball across the face of the box to mark who takes one touch and lofts it into the far corner 3-0. We start the second half as we finished the first with Mark scoring his second with a nice shot low and hard 4-0. We spend a lot of time on the attack with Grove making either some great tackles or saves and hitting us on the break with the defence and keeper doing a great job. Again Griggsy takes the keeper on and slots his third passed him to make it 5-0 . We carried on playing some great footie for the sixth when Mark trys to get through their defence, it bounces of a defender out to Mattie who 25 yards out hits it first time straight into the net - a screamer 6-0. Grove then score a goal to make it 6-1. One more to come with another great move from Griggsy shooting at goal and getting cleared of the line???????? (we need goal line technology), but in comes graham and puts it in the back of the net (his first ever goal well done). This was a great game by every one of the kids on the pitch today. A great team performance (keep it up and well done).

This was a hard match which we unfortunately lost in the first 4 minutes as we started to slowly and got punished by conceding 2 goals. After that we match Barton man for man and with a little bit more luck we could have got back in the game. The boys played with alot of passion and skill. If we play like this in the future we will win alot more games.

Match Report

This was a great game even though we just lost it nt the final seconds to make the score 3-2 to Barton.

In our latest match away to Heading ton Sharks we started very slowly and due to that we fell behind, but we pulled it together to equalizer through Jack Slight, but we then fell behind again due to some sloppy defending at a corner. But just before half time we got a scrappy goal again by Jack Slight. We started the second half a lot brighter and with in minute we were 3-2 up with a nice strike by Jack power. We then took control of the game and with Julian not letting anything get passed him we soon made it 4-2 with Joe getting his first. Joe then took a fine run and ended with him being fouled in the box (PENALTY). Joe blasted it home, 5-2. A few good passes led to another chance for Joe and he completed his hat trick, and the game ended 6-2.

The friendly game was a very tight match but goals from Charlie Green, making a guest appearance from the under 9s, and Adam Day swung it our way.

Wow what can I say about this game? I thought we were in for a tough morning but with some excellent play we took control of the game and with great passing and skill we scored some cracking goals including a solo run by Ollie, a great turn and shot by Joe, and a excellent strike by Adam.

In a tough bruising encounter the boys fought back twice from behind to take the game into penalties. Unfortunately we lost on penalties 3-2 even though the boys fought hard and played a great game.

We unfortunately lost the second game 2-1 but were very unlucky again.

Match Report

What a great game by all the boys.We started of attacking from the first minute but some great goal keeping by the Grove goalie at bay until the last minute of the first half when Charlie did a great solo run to score our first goal. In the second half the boys finally broke groves spirted defence and some really good finishing by Jack and Joe lead to them both scoring 4 goals each. Charlie bagged another one to top a tremendous which ended with 10 goals to us.

Match Report

In the second game we played some equally nice football making the grove goalie do some more great saves but we still managed to score 6 goals. Well done boys you all played great football and showed us all what great passing you can do when you put your minds to it.

Match Report

Another great game by the Stanford boys. After a hard fought first half where the defences were on top, it ended 0-0. In the second half we tried to press forward but were caught on the counter attack and went 1-0 behind, but with great determination and support from the side lines we pressed forward looking for a equalizer and it finally came through a reflected goal from Ollie Henderson. The game then went from end to end with either team looking like winning it then in the dieing second of injury time Jo hit a 20 yard bloke busting shot which screamed in to the back of the net which won us the game.

After our midweek loss to Faringdon we were looking too bounce back but things didn't look to well when we failed to clear a corner and a Kingston player stabbed the ball home. But with great determination the boys took the game to Kingston and after some good chances we equalized with Charlie Douglas Hamilton scoring. Not content with that we kept pressing and Charlie scrambled his second over the line to give us a 2-1 lead at half time. The second half started pretty even with chances at both ends then Kingston had another corner which ended up with a unfortunate own goal. After that it was end to end before a lovely run by Jack Power which ended with a superb goal, we managed to hold out till full time to win 3-2.

We had better luck in the friendly winning 3 1 with goals from Sam Moffatt 2 and Julian Kessler-Wentworth.

Match Report

New season and Stanford under 10 made a really impressive start by winning there first game against Wantage 5-0. We made some fantastic passes which lead to countless chances of scoring goals and we had countless corners.We finally broke the deadlock when a goal kick fell to Jack Slight and after a great touch he smashed the ball passed the goal and that was the start of a great game for us.We then had more shots on goal from every direction but due to some good goalkeeping from the opposition and slightly bad finishing by us the score remained 1-0 until 10 minutes into the second half when Charlie Douglas Hamilton drilled a low shot into the net. We then really stepped up our game and after some great passes from the forward players Jack Slight got his second goal and Jo Hefferan getting two goals himself, one of which was a fantastic solo run. Well done to all the players for there great effort and enthusiasm and lets keep it up for the other matches.

Stanford started not looking there best after there previous game. Although against the wind I thought they held the game to one nil at half time with some chances in the first half created by Tom and Charlie just missing. Second half with the wind again started slow and fell two behind with five minutes to play a free kick taken by Tom drove it in and beyond the goal (Good Goal) after the goal was scored we went all over them but could not get a second. Well played once we got the goal, but need to start earlier.
