Start of Season Thoughts |
This season is a season of optimism and one of huge potential for the Sharp Shooters. With the influx of new teams into the Southend league and two into our division, it is usually good news for us. All the teams in this league can be beaten by us and no one holds any fear. I believe that if we play as a team, we can win 5 or more games, which would put us in contention for promotion. Our problem though is consistency, so we will see if we can manage this. Overall I am looking forward to this season, hopefully we can fulfil our dream of playing in the Premiership. |

SS 7 - Dan's Allstars 9 16th May 2006 |
This is the first match report I have written in over 3 seasons, so bear with me whilst I find my creative writing. This week we played Dan’s Allstar’s and to get a good start to the season was essential. This week we had a debutant; Matt E made his first competitive start for the Sharp Shooters.
The first half we were not on form and conceded goals through sloppy play. Their were a few first half highlights including a ‘bullet’ header from the half way line by Spanton. Their movement in the first half was too good for us, whilst a few silly mistakes and lack of marking meant that we were losing about 6 – 2 by half time. The 2nd half we appeared to wake up and produced a much better display with goals from Andy, James C (2), one of which was from a tight angle and various other goal scorers. In this half we bought our keeper (Dave) out when he had the ball and this worked well. We may try this again in the future. Overall a poor first half, followed by a much better 2nd half and a game we probably deserved to lose. Next week we can hopefully get our season back on track. |
SS 11 - Wingnuts 7 23rd May 2006 |
This was our first ever match against the Wingnuts, after their promotion into this division.
We didn’t start the match brightly and after 6 minutes or so we were 4 – 0 down, mainly due to sloppy passes which left one on one chances; the Wingnut players finished these chances well. This half turned when Dave started coming out making a 5th player on pitch, which culminated for the opening goal, after passing to me, I hit the ball first time and it nestled in the top corner. The rest of the half us consisted of us playing better, with Andy and Paul scoring a couple each to go in at half time 6 – 5 down. The 2nd half started as we played the end of the first and were the better side. We created numerous chances, with Tom hitting the post twice, before finally scoring from centre, a couple form Andy and two cracking goals from Coley (one of his left buttock and the other a tap in from 2 inches). This half we played better and showed why we are in this division. Overall a sloppy start, but a good ending to the match. Everyone played well, especially Coley with his two wonder strike sand constant tracking of players during critical times. |
SS 5 - Image FC 8 30th May 2006 |
As none of my players who have said they would write me a match report have, I have written one myself (even though I wasn’t there).
Tonight’s match was a tight affair against a decent Image team, the conditions were bad and both teams kept slipping over due to the rain. This game was a tight match and in the 2nd half we were 5 – 5, but alas we faltered at the end, possibly due to match fitness and possibly the conditions. The goals were scored by Paul, Andy & Coley. One thing Coley & Paul did say as that one of their players won it for them, he was the one that created everything and made things happen |
SS (WO) 3 - AFC Scratchings 0 6th June 2006 |
Tonight’s game against AFC Scratchings did not happen as they are an imaginary side. An easy 3 points won tonight. |
