Claygate Royal Foleys 3 Guildford Saints Blues 0

My thanks to Derek for running the side for me at today's match. This is his report;

"I feel the this match was Deja-Vu, as the final score did not reflect the effort the boy’s put in to this match. First half we started off a bit slow, and there were definite signs that we had not played together for a while, this showed in the first goal, from a set piece, we gave them too much room and we got punished for it. Claygate were quick on the break, and often had our defence scrambling back to cover the long ball on a short pitch. This (and a dodgy decision by the referee!!) resulted in the second goal - in my opinion the foot was way too high in the tackle - but our boys have to learn to play to the whistle, as they paused briefly, and Claygate cashed in with their second.

In the second half we were by far the better team. We started to give as good as we got, as far as competing for the ball was concerned. We were also better at creating chances, but once again no matter how hard we tried, we just could not find the back of the net and the one time we did the linesman judged it to be offside!

The third goal came when there was a bit of hesitancy in our defence, and once again we were punished - no single blame... just two men, one ball and no clear challenge.

Towards the end Claygate were definitely fading with many of them showing signs of tired legs. We did have some more shots on goal but they just went wide or were straight at the 'keeper. The nearest we got was from a free kick in the dying moments of the game but the 'keeper pulled off the save of the match and just pushed the ball over the bar.

My praise goes to the entire team for their support and for sticking in there and for not giving up even though the score was against us - well done boys!

And thanks to the parents too for their support in a season that has had it's ups and downs. Simon, Kevin and myself hope to see you all back next season."

Man of the Match - Marcus Taylor

Guildford Saints 6 Farnham Utd 0

What a great way to finish off the season - with a resounding win full of good football and great finishing. Here's Kevin's match report;

"The last game of the season saw the Saints return to form after a rather dismal run of results. Saints scored early on when Jamie was on hand to turn in a parried Tom R shot, Julien then doubled the score before Josh pulled off a brilliant one handed save to deny Farnham a goal. With fifteen players to use for this game regular substitutions were made and one of these, Joe R, then came on and scored the third. This was a good display but we have and could have scored more with chances going begging and players straying offside too regularly. Farnham were reduced to ten through injury so we matched them by withdrawing Ben who came off with twinge in the back.

In the second half more changes were made with Ollie slotting into right back, Chris into left and Ross on the left of Midfield - and it was Ross who scored from the best move of the game with a good volley. Joe R then scored his second and Julien doubled up too before Farnham hit the crossbar from a free kick late in the match.

Overall a good display tonight but we can rue the dropped points over the season. Only one team have denied us any points in league this season (Staines Albion) so by rights we should have finished higher but overall I think all the boys have done well and I thank them all.

Man of the Match - Connor Duke

Manager's End of Season Report!! (Saints squad)

Josh - has had a solid season and it was nice to see him keep a clean sheet in the last match. one of the best keepers in the league

Chris - solid displays throughout the season and mr dependable

Ben - good start to the season but shame he suffered injuries. reliable defender

Ross - brilliant full back always looking to overlap

Julien - good finish to the season but still not at his flying best but a reliable football player

Connor - excellent first season for us

Mike D - another superb addition and has done brilliant playing at the back

Matt - yet another very welcome addition to the squad and a versatile player

Ollie - my little utility player

Nathan - back to his best like before he left us temporarily. nice to have him back

Martin - a well deserved player's player of the year award for a very accomplished centre back

Alex M - great captain who leads by example

Jamie - the last few games Jamie has shown just what a good player he is

Seb - another fine addition to the squad quick winger and a great hat trick earlier in the season

Joe - playing a year above himself and a well deserved most improved player award

Goal Scorers - Tom 26, Joe 9, Alex 6, Julien 6, Ross 3, Mike 3, Seb 3, Jamie 2, Matt 1 & Martin 1

Thanks lads have a good summer!

Guildford Saints 0 Leatherhead Predators 2

More disappointment for Saints as this season - which looked so promising - fades out with a whimper. Here's Kevin's match report;

"Another lack lustre display from Saints saw them drop another three points in a "end of season" performance. In the first half we just stood off, allowing Leatherhead time and space on the ball. Our passing was extremely disjointed and it was no surprise when we went 1-0 down. Failure to make a decent challenge let a Leatherhead forward slot in on the angle passed Josh. Even then we failed to raise our game and we conceded another in similar fashion shortly before the break.

The second half saw Ben come off, after his return from injury, with Mike D moving to centre back, Matt in at right back and Joe up front and we slowly began to get back into the game. Joe just failed to get to a ball played across the goal by Julien and Julien himself was robbed just before "pulling the trigger".

The effort was better in the second half but that’s about all I can say about this game - a poor end of season display and let’s hope we can sign off the season with the kind of football with which we are capable of in our next match against Farnham on Thursday"
