Worplesdon Phoenix 2 Oxshott Royals Rebels 7

Oxshott stay ahead of the pack at the top of the table after they found their form in a second half that ended up an ill-tempered affair.

Both sides lacked bite in the first half and it took 26 minutes before the deadlock was broken when, with an advancing Neuner challenging the keeper, Nicholls looped the ball into the net.

Minutes later, a perfectly weighted ball from Smith on the left was smashed past the keeper by Brett to put Royals two up.

Pressing for the third that would surely have ended the game as a contest, however, Oxshott let Worplesdon back in the game and two quick goals brought the score level.

Dunsire and Mughal came on as substitutes and the two instantly combined to put Royals back in the lead. Mughal’s through ball, following a speedy run down the wing, was met by Dunsire, who slotted the ball home to give Royals a 3-2 half-time advantage.

Oxshott looked much more like their plucky selves in the second half and five minutes in increased their lead when, following a goalmouth scramble, Smith pushed home a Tough corner. Twelve minutes later, Bishop met a perfectly flighted cross from Bryant to put Royals 5-2 ahead.

Royals stretched their lead to four goals in the 66th minute when a powerful Tough free kick from the edge of the area bent round the left-hand side of the wall and smashed into the top corner of the net. Six minutes later, Nicholls was hacked down on the edge of the area, and Tough stepped up to send a second free kick round the wall, this time dispatching it in the bottom corner to wrap up the score at 7-2.

In the final five minutes, the game became increasingly fractious, with firstly yellow cards being shown to players from both teams and then a Worplesdon player receiving his marching orders.

The defence – Farrow, Bishop, Crane, Hawkins – deserve a special mention for keeping Worplesdon’s attacks at bay, while keeper Frazer made a one-handed wonder save in the first half at a crucial time for Royals.

Man of the match was left winger Smith, who crafted some excellent opportunities.

Royals Offer Up Six of the Best!

First game of season, away to Woplesdon Phoenix at their place on Sunday 21st September.. We have 17 players signed but only 13 for this game. No roll on - roll off, still organisimg who should play where…the start line up was Kyle in goal, right to left across the back was Josh, Harvey, James and Sam Chaplin….mid fieldright…Stuart, Micah, Pat (Captain) and Alex. Up front, Jake playing behind Freddie….Sam Underwood and Lawrie on the bench. We were missing Coach Chez Cornelli who was scheduled to play a Cup Varsity Game for Bookham Seniors.

We start strong…good defensive breaks linking with midfield….breakthrough after 10 minutes, Freddie gets goal No. 1 !…9 minutes later, Worplesdon equalise via a supurbly taken free kick by their No. 9. Possession remains mainly with Royals and 33 minutes in Micah is there to restoore our lead 2 - 1. Our opponents are tackling hard and with 41 minutes on the clock, their No. 12c gets a yellow card.

Before half time, great interplay and team pass and move strategy pays off with that man Freddie adding to his tally of goals , one in 43rd minute followed by another on the stroke of half time. Second half strarts at a frantic pace, great work between James,and Harvey, solid as rocks with josh and Sam Chaplin setting up attacks and foiling their attack play. Pat and Micah were controlling the mid field and Alex and Stuart were attacking, crossing and passing as if on vue. They were also doing their share of run backs to cover for the defence.

Jake who had a fine game had to come off just prior to the half time whistle and Lawrie was straight in making an immediate impact. 15 munutes into second half saw their No. 7 cardes and 23 minutes later up popped Alec to score goal No. 5 ! Sam C, made way for Sam Underwood who provided the same strong cover at the back….our opponents acquired a third yellow card - No, 12, were getting flustered and tiring, The Royals fitness was prevailing. With Freddie capping of a great game with his goal number 4, The Royals ran out winners 6 - 1 0n the day..Overall, a manificent display, players still to get fit and new lads still to settle but we look to be a real force in the coming season in SPL’s Premier Division

Woking Town Tigers 0 Oxshott Royals Rebels 14

A slick combination of inch-perfect passing and first-class movement brought Oxshott an emphatic victory that kept them firmly at the top of the table.

Brett opened the scoring when he slotted home a neat through ball, and Nicholls quickly scored a brace to put Royals three up after just eight minutes.

A lovely through pass from Brett led to Tough netting the fourth and Brett himself took the score to 5-0 when he chased and won a loose ball before turning it past the keeper.

Tough completed the first half scoring just after the half-hour mark when his cross from the left wing looped over the stranded Woking keeper, who, despite the score, pulled off a number of impressive saves throughout the game.

Oxshott’s dominance continued in the second half and it took Dolce just two minutes to increase Royals’ advantage.

Tough, Brett and Nicholls all completed their hat tricks before the hour mark to take the Royals’ tally into double figures.

Dunsire replaced Brett up front when the striker injured his hand and he was quickly on the score sheet when he hit a perfect strike past the Woking keeper, before bagging a second minutes later.

Dunsire also provided the cross that brought Oxshott their lucky 13th, with Nicholls neatly nodding the ball into the net.

Smith rounded off the scoring when Brett, advancing on goal, unselfishly passed the ball to the left back who slotted the ball home.

The whole Oxshott team gave 110% throughout, with Neuner and Bryant putting in powerful performances in midfield. In defense, Hawkins, Dolce, Smith and, Crane, alongside man-of-the-match Bishop, ensured that little troubled keeper Frazer, who, despite having little to do, remained alert at all times.

Oxshott Royals Rebels 6, Guildford City Leopards 1

Royals’ season got off to a perfect start with a comprehensive 6-1 win against Guildford that put them firmly at the top of the embryonic league table.

Despite dominating the game throughout, it took Oxshott until midway through the first half to turn their constant pressure to their advantage, when Dolce’s looping defensive clearance from his own half bounced over the Guildford keeper’s head and into the net.

The home team’s dominance continued for the remainder of the half but they went in at the break with just the single goal advantage.

Royals’ long-awaited second eventually came just five minutes into the second half when Tough side-footed the ball past the keeper, before Nicholls headed home a Brett cross from the right to put the home side three up and Dolce reacted quickly to slot home the rebound from a Brett strike just minutes later.

With the game effectively over at 4-0, Oxshott allowed Guildford back into the game, however, and in the 55th minute the visitors scored a scrambled effort to pull back a goal.

Oxshott’s four-goal advantage was restored five minutes later when a Tough run set Brett free to slide the ball past the keeper and Dolce scored Oxshott’s sixth and final goal five minutes from the end when he shot home to complete his hat-trick.

Dolce also took the man of the match award for his three goals and an excellent shift in defence.
