HUGHIN OUTPLAYED

The switch to a smaller pitch proved made no difference to the end result as City outplayed Hughin in every department. The final score of 3-0 was the sole black mark on an otherwise fantastic performance. A change to the forward line up saw Matt Banks partner Fred in attack. Matt has shown an eagerness to show his goal scoring talents and so was given a full 90 minutes to put his money where is mouth is. He was not slow in telling us what he thought of his first goal and must have thought a hat full was on the cards. In the end it proved to be his only goal as Fred grabbed a brace. The final score may not have done justice to the overall dominance of City but at least Matt got a chance to show the rest of the team what he keeps telling us about. Although I don't remember him saying he could hit the ball 50 ft in the air from the edge of the box.

CITY RIDE THEIR LUCK BUT HOLD ON TO BEAT ASHFORD

It was backs to the wall stuff at times but in the end 3 superbly taken goals against a dodgy penalty and slack marking was the difference. Ashford played their usual way of trying to intimidate the ref which eventually worked. This time City were more than up for the challenge and should have won by more. Steve Jones scored the opening two goals in the first half followed by one form Darren in the second. Late pressure from Ashford as they threw everything in the box saw them score from a dubious penalty and one from a set piece. A very satisfying victory against one of the best sides we play against and one of the worst tempered players.

SATURDAY'S GAME IS OFF

Unfortunately the match against St Lukes has been called off due to St Lukes not being able to raise a team. Efforts were made to find replacement opposition but none could be found.
