MATCH REPORTS

The under 9 Tigers were invited to join 4 other teams at the Hullbridge Sports Tournament on Sunday 21^st May.

In a league of 5 which along with Hambro included Leigh Ramblers, Wickford Town, Hullbridge and Benfleet Youth, on an overcast, showery, windy and slightly sloping pitch our team put together all their training and experience from the season. 4 games, 4 wins, 4 goals to Hambro and none against, a wonderful performance, and winners of the competition. All players were outstanding, our parents were tremendous support and somewhat damp and windswept by the time of the presentations. Runners up were Wickford.

Congratulations also to Hullbridge on a well organized event and all participants. The matches were played in good spirit.

HAMBRO COLTS 3 VS. WICKFORD TOWN 0

First match of 2006 saw a visit from Wickford. They managed a 3-0 win totally against the run of play during the first part of the season so this was a return we needed to win. Wickford were also above Hambro on points and a games in hand. Steady start but well fought draw at half time. Defence had performed really well against a Wickford boy who individually is one of leagues top scorers. The second half finally brought the rewards , our continual pressure from midfield and super crosses from Andrew and runs by Thomas brought first goal from Luke. Within minutes Broghan found the net after some really hard tackles against her. A few knocks and subs on and off with everyone tired but really working well. Third goal came from Andrews cross (fresh on as a sub) from free kick onto Lukes head into the net. Match still not over as Wickford kept trying to get back and forced several corners and gained a penalty. ………..Saved by Harrison. A 3-0 home win, probably the best all round team effort this season. I`m sure we can repeat it at Rayleigh next week.

HULLBRIDGE 0 - HAMBRO COLTS 2

Under 9`s Tigers away fixture against Hullbridge Tigers resulted in a 2 - 0 Win for Hambro. Was it a diamond formation or perhaps a 1231 formation that produced the win ? No it was just down to a tremendous team effort from goalkeeper, defenders, midfield and forwards, although the goals were both from Angus, but the build up a play and passes forward must also be mentioned, - a super win and great entertainment for the players and supporters.

Next week we play Chalvedon boys at home.

BLACKGATE GUNNERS 0 - HAMBRO COLTS 4

Under 9`s leopards had a free week this week but their last weeks match deserves mention, A great 4 - 0 win away to Blackgate Gunners, Goals from Christopher, Daniel and two from LukeB and the whole team played very well and this will hopefully help us in our next match away to Hamlet Court Leopards.
