Another great win away from home (undefeated away all season), Kew park were playing much better than there league position and gave us a bit of a shock with a strong tackling game. A great individual goal by Sam Mellett from 20 yards was well deserved after nearly all of the possession. Kew drew level quickly, but then Ian Bowden beat their defence to put us 2 - 1 up at half time.Jack Herron came on at half time for Joe Bielecki in the centre of defence having a great game with some crucial challenges. Charlie Johnston - Schoon, bundled in a great goal from 2 yards to make it 3 - 1. They replied straight away to make it 3 - 2, then Keifer Andrews headed home a great goal. Soon after Sam Mellett put in a corner for Tommy Farr (captain) to score another great header to make it 5 - 2. Three goals up and suddenly everyone wanted to score! We left gaps in the midfield and they scored 2 goals and could have had more. Ian Bowden scored his second of the match with another brilliant header from a Sam Mellett corner to make it 6 - 4. This was a tougher match than expected and we let in 4 goals against a team that have only scored 10 goals in their previous 7 games.

As a team we have now turned a corner and are playing good football every week lets hope we can do the business in the cup next week - I 'am sure we can!!!!

This was an extremely well earned place in the semi final of the Invitation Cup. The whole of the team battled hard for this win after going 0 - 1 down in the first half to a very suspect penalty decision that we really should not talk about. Michael Neves got the equaliser with a great header early in the second half. We were the stronger team for most of the second half but the game was 1 - 1 after 70 minutes. Samba carried on strong in extra time going 2 - 1 up early in the first period with another headed goal this time from Tommy Farr.This was a fantastic TEAM performance played with a lot of spirit, now looking forward to Raynes Park in the semi on Feb 27th.

Another great team performance in what turned into a very tough match. An excellant hatrick by Ian Bowden. Other goals by Sam Mellett and Charlie Johnston - Schoon. This was a very strong Samba team which has now won there last 7 games.

Defiantly a slow start after the Christmas break with 0 - 0 at half time although we did dominate play. An excellent performance by all 3 subs saw the pace change in the second half with an early goal by Michael Neves. Kestrals equalised twice in quick succession to make it 2 - 2 but we seemed to change up a gear again in the second half showing a lot of stamina to finish a deserved 7 - 2 winners.

Raynes Park are a very good team (I guess that's why they are top of the table) but on this day we were the better team. The game was level for a long period and then we went 1 -0 up when Ian Bowden scored (as usual). They came back straight away and the game turned into a battle as we went in 2 -1 down at half time. Nick Causer replied with a goal to make it 2 -2 early in the second half and we dominated for a long time but we went 3 - 2 down half way through the 2nd half. After some good pressure we got an own goal which was forced by 3 of our players on a single defender. This was a fantastic team performance and was the hardest point we have earned ever - well done everyone !!!!!!!!

This was our 10th game unbeaten and the team seem to be getting stronger with every game played. With an excellent start to the match, our first half hatrick came from Ian Bowden and goals from Nick Causer and Michael Neves saw us 6 - 0 up at half time. Feltham started well in the 2nd half and scored quickly which was followed by good spell which saw us defending well and then against the run of play Charlie Johnston - Schoon scored to make it 7 - 1 and we started to play some great football. They replied with a goal but we were now the stronger side. Nick Causer completed his hatrick and another great goal from Sam Mellett saw us it finish 9 - 2 - a scoreline that reflected our performance! Tom Hinkley played out of place in defence but had a great game ( although he didn't agree), Jack Herron also did well in midfield and Keifer Andrews is enjoying life further up the pitch.

WELL DONE TO ALL SAMBA UNDER 12'S, LETS KEEP WORKING HARD AND ENJOYING OUR FOOTBALL !

This was a very professional team effort today with everybody on the pitch doing a great job and playing their position's with discipline - which made the difference .The 1st of 2 goals from Ian Bowden came mid way through the 1st half , thanks to our teams strong performance and some good goal keeping from Alfee Burridge saw us 1 - 0 up at half time. Charlie Johnston - Schoon came off (after a great 1st half performance) and was replaced by Tom Hinkley, who scored a much needed goal to put us 3 - 0 up. There was a real captain's performance by Keifer Andrews in centre of defence along side Jack Coy, who was un - passable! Josh Bamber fought and won nearly everything on the right and Nick Causer had another great game, on the left wing today (I like to keep him guessing on his position!) - we won't mention the penalty! Another goal from Michael Neves and Tommy Farr saw us go 5 - 0 up with a superb 2nd half, but Alfee was finally beaten to make it another fantastic away victory at 5 - 1. Next week only Ashford stand between us being unbeaten away all season.

This match was played under some terrible winds blowing across the pitch, which didn't seem to help either team. We took the lead with another goal by Ian Bowden and had all the possession , playing some fantastic football apart from some of the finishing. On the rare occasion Ashford were in our half they got an equaliser before half time. We continued to dominate but Ashford took the lead with a 20 yard volley, which turned out to be the winner for them. Despite the result this was another solid performance from the team, playing good football - just unable to beat the keeper! Another a great captain's performance from Keifer Andrews in left mid and Josh Bamber was superb on the right.The Samba team will learn from this and still have a lot to play for.

A convincing performance against a weakened Kew side with only 10 men. Jack Herron scored his first goal of the season with Ian Bowden in great form getting 4. Alfee Burridge made several great saves to keep a clean sheet, but this was a great team effort today. 2 goals each from Charlie Johnston - Schoon , Sam Mellett and Nick Causer(dodgy own goal) and 1 from Kiefer Andrews made it 12 - 0 and we still managed to hit the cross bar twice! I have to say a big well done to everyone, now with 1 game in the league left against AC Fulham at home, if we win we finish 2nd . COME ON SAMBA !!!!!
