Match Report 1-11-08

Folkestone 4 1 : Old Williamsonians 3 3

A game played in dreadful conditions did not deter the old boys claiming their third consecutive league win. Folkestone were to provide 2 umpires but the weather must have kept one of them at home!! So Dave Routledge kindly umpired for the old boys and they played with 10.

Martin Newnham got an early goal and 2 from Nathan Tulppo meant a 3-1 scoreline at half time. The continuous rain meant constructive hockey became harder and harder and Folkestone’s efforts were hampered when their best player who was at the time having a big influence on the game, went off injured.

On a difficult day there were some big performances from the old boys particularly Nathan Tulppo and Dickie Dalton [again] but man of the match went to Stuart Seymour who was outstanding throughout at right half.

Match Report 25-10-08

Old Williamsonians 3 1 : New Beccs 2 0

A hard fought win for the old boys that should have been settled by half time from the number of chances the home team created.

However a day when the shooting skills were left at home – probably forgotten as a result of trying to be ready for a 10-30 start – meant that in the end the old boys were just happy to take the 3 points.

Wills turned round 1-0 up at half time thanks to a short corner goal from Martin Pinder and an improved second half performance was expected. However this did not materialise as BBHC defended well and forced their way back into the game to make the second period very competitive.

Wills still had their chances through the promptings of Josh Sullivan, Nathan Tulpo, Tom Pinder and Josh Heyes but nothing quite came off in and around the BBHC circle. Wills will need to learn to be more composed in this area.

The game was summed up for the home team when a short corner was awarded on the final whistle. 4 short corners followed with the fifth attempt hitting a BBHC post then being missed by 2 old wills on the follow up and then being cleared by their opponents!!!

Thanks to Andy Routledge for umpiring so well.

Holcombe 4A 0 : Old Williamsonians 3 5

OW’s travelled a short distance up the road to play Holcombe - their local rivals. Holcombe presented a team packed with men, compared to the mix of experience and youth of OW’s. From the first whistle Holcombe pushed forward and created a number of attacking opportunities, however none were converted mainly due to the acrobatic saves and fine blocking by Dickie Dalton in goal.

OW’s settled into the game and started to create some chances of their own. Strong play by Captain Martin Pinder enabled Jack Honeywill and Josh Sullivan to latch onto quality balls down the flanks. Good crosses were fed into the ‘D’ but no one was able to capitalise. Play went from end to end but no team could break the deadlock. Half time 0-0 .

The OW’s team talk was positive and they emerged for the second half in a determined mood. Good two-touch hockey between Tom Pinder and Jack Honeywill led to OW’s first goal – when Honeywill’s reverse stick hit from an acute angle just inside the circle found its way through the keeper’s legs and into the bottom right hand corner.

The second goal quickly followed – this time Tom Pinder ran solo from just outside the 25 unchallenged, then unleashed a shot to the bottom left hand corner.

Holcombe were now rattled which only urged OW’s on, and neat interplay between Nathan Tulpo and Josh Sullivan down the right hand side led to a short corner being awarded. Sullivan hit the ball out to Dave Routledge, who slipped the ball to Martin Pinder. Pinder then found Routledge who slotted home.

Two further goals were added – both from short corners and scored again by Routledge senior (his hat trick). Danny Routledge, Andy Stoute and Alex Cairns all remained calm and made some strong tackles in defence to prevent Holcombe from scoring, and up front Martin Newman and Jack Honeywill continued to threaten and cause problems.

This was OW’s best performance by far against very strong opponents, mainly due to everyone playing as a team and not as individuals. This victory was made even sweeter as it was on Holcombe’s home turf.

Team line up: Dickie Dalton, Josh Heyes, Dave Routledge, Danny Routledge, Alex Cairns, Andy Stoute, Tom Pinder, Martin Pinder, Nathan Tulpo, Josh Sullivan, Martin Newman, Jack Honeywill.
