ROTHERFIELD RAIDERS U12 3 WOODLEY KESTRELS U12 1

RAIDERS CLIP THE WINGS OF WOODLEY KESTRELS

After several recent disappointments Rotherfield needed to show strength in character and this was a fine collective performance resulting in a deserved win.
Following a longer than usual pre-match warm up Rotherfield were quickly into their stride and throughout the first half the Woodley goal led a charmed life. Chris Miller, Max Sweetman and Josh Gay all went agonisingly close to scoring but come half time the game remained goal less.
At the beginning of the second half it became clear that Rotherfield were not going to have it all their own way; Jake Hylton was called upon to make several smart saves and the defensive qualities of Alex Harris White and Sam Booker were tested by the Woodley attack.
However Rotherfield regained the control they showed before the break and the first goal, expertly scored by Chris Miller, finally arrived. A second soon followed when good approach work was finished by Ben Peirson-Hagger. The third was a result of a fine run from Rowan Stacey and cool finishing by Guy Thurlow.
Woodley showed good character themselves by getting onto the score sheet but Rotherfield maintained their composure to register a deserved win.
For his part in creating all three goals, Rowan Stacey was awarded man of the match.

ROTHERFIELD RAIDERS. Chris Miller; Archie McGowan; Ben Peison-Hagger; Jake Hylton; Matty Chapman; Sam Booker; Guy Thurlow; Josh Gay; Max Sweetman; Rowan Stacey; Alex Harris-White; Will Young.

Rotherfield Raiders 6 Woodley Saints Tigers 3

Saturday, October 17, 2009 - Rotherfield Raiders 6 Woodley Saints Tigers 3
Raiders bounce back in style!

After a hugely disappointing performance last week, The Raiders made some tactical changes with Whyte-Harris and Sweetman bolstering the defence. The Raiders made a bright start and were one up after 2 minutes when Peirson-Hagger finished smartly. Sadly though the Raiders were struggling to organize the new defensive line up and found themselves level two minutes later. Thurlow, Spruyt and Miller all forced good saves from the Saints keeper, but the Saints took a 2-1 lead into half time after another defensive mix-up. The remainder of the first half was end to end stuff with Raiders looking as flamboyant in attack as they did fragile in defence.
Normal service was resumed in under 60 seconds of the second half when Chris Miller leveled the score. This was followed by a wonderful one two between Thurlow and Spruyt to leave a simple tap in for Pierson Haggar to push the Raiders ahead again. The Raiders began to slowly dominate the game with keeper, the woodwork and some luck saving the Saints from embarrassment. A long kick from Peachey in the Raiders goal, was threaded by Chapman through midfield and Thurlow was on the end to make it 4-2. The Raiders looked like they were cruising only to be stunned by a surprise goal from the Saints to make it 4-3. Was this to be the turning point in the game for the Saints? The answer was NO. Spruyt’s misdirected rocket of a cross found the net and was followed up by a well-deserved goal from Whyte Harris to make it 6-3. Greengrass was a late sub for Rotherfield and should have made it seven, only to be denied by the post.
MOM went to Max Sweetman for an energetic but solid performance in defence and tireless running the whole game
