11TH MAY HAREFIELD UTD TOURNAMENT

Rams 3 Parkfield 1
Rams 0 Everett Rovers 1
Rams 0 Bessingby Park Rangers 0
Rams 2 Harefield Utd 0

Rams kicked the day off with a rampant performance against a shell shocked Parkfield who found themselves two down after goals from James Heady and Corey Edwards. Tom Scott got in on the act with a fantastic long range lob over the keeper. Parkfield did get one back but it was too little too late.

Second game saw the Rams face a well organised Everett side who quickly took the lead with only minutes on the clock. The Rams fought hard and pushed for the equaliser and were unlucky not to get it.

The Rams again had the lions share of the ball in this match and the better of the chances but could not make the break through. A late free kick from Tom Scott narrowly missing the target nearly snatched a dramatic winner.

Final game of the day against the hosts finnished two nil to the Rams, with a great performance from Connor Campbell in midfield. Tom Scott and Sean Chivers linked up well together and both got their rewards with a goal apiece. Tom's a well struck long range effort that swerved past the keeper and Sean's cooly slotted into the corner past the oncoming keeper.

All in all a good day for the Rams with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Callum, Connor and Ben combining well at the back helped keep 2 clean sheets. A total of 5 goal scored and a commendable effort in every match, well done Rams!

Bulls 2 Panathinaikos 0
Bulls 2 NW Robins Celta 0
Bulls 0 West Drayton Boys 2
Bulls 0 Brunswick FC 1

Four very encouraging performances by the Bulls, which could easily have been four wins.

Strengthened by Lewis and Arran the Bulls started with comfortable victories over Panathinaikos and Celta : Charlie, Max, Arran and Lewis grabbing the goals.

West Drayton provided tough opposition but the Bulls can count themselves very unlucky to have lost that one. West Drayton's keeper made several good saves and they only had two shots on targets in response (both powerful long shots that gave our goalie little chance).

It was a similar story in the final game. A long range screamer of a free-kick flew into our goal and we had no luck at the other end : Lewis hitting the post twice within a minute!

All in all, there was a lot to be positive about. Apart from the long range efforts, it's hard to recall our opponents having a single shot on goal in any of the four matches (well done, defenders!) and we created plenty of chances going forward.
