Hillingdon Youth 0 RAMS 5

On a wet and windy autumnal day SYCOB Rams travelled over to Hillingdon with great expectation of continuing their fine start to the season against a side still in search of their first points of the season.

The first ten minutes or so were fairly even with both sides measuring each other up with chances at either end. Corey came on in midfield and made an immediate impact scoring 2 goals.

Tom once again worked tirelessly up front and netted a brace for his efforts. The first half ended 4-0 to the away side with the Rams now in control of the match.

The second half saw the Rams continue to press for more goals and James Heady whipped another delightful ball into the box which was turned home by Sean for our 5th goal.
A clean sheet from defensive trio of Callum, Jordan and Jamie was well deserved for all their hard work.

MOTM was Arran with outstanding performance, he set up two goals and scored one himself and probably passed the ball more than any other player on the pitch rarely losing possession, well done Arran.

Lewis was once again strong in midfield, and all the boys can be proud of a fine effort in adverse conditions. Lets see if the mum's pass the Daz challenge and get the kits looking brand new for next weeks cup game at home to Eton Wick.

Rams 6 Bedfont Eagles 1

Top of the table Beaconsfield Rams lined up against bottom of the table Bedfont Eagles who are now under new management.

The Rams who are still undefeated this season opened the scoring after some good work from Aaran Gill, Sean Chivers finished from close range. Bedfont didnt lose faith though after conceding the early goal and were soon back on level terms after a good finish curling the ball around the diving Corey Edwards in goal who stood no chance.

Beaconsfield regained their composure and shape with two goals from Callum Gray, one of which was a tad dubious after the corner was whipped in from Tom Scott, Callum insists he got a touch on it! Another super performance by Arran Gill was capped off with a goal and another powerful strike from our top goalscorer Tom Scott completed the scoring and the game finnished 6-1. Sean Chivers kept a clean sheet in the Rams goal in the second half, James Heady was once again full of running in the midfield along with Lewis Dudzik. MOTM was Ben Hillier for another gutsy performance.

Bulls 2 Boyne Hill Bullets 3

A disappointing defeat for the Bulls against an improving Boyne Hill team. The Bulls had all of the early pressure and took the lead when Janni followed up a long range effort from Oliver. Boyne Hill equalised with a breakaway goal against the run of play and the teams were still level at half time.

With 11 players available, the Bulls team was changed around completely at half time and perhaps took a while to settle back into the game. Boyne Hill took the lead early in the second half only for Callum to get us back on level terms soon after. In an even second half either team could have grabbed the winner: unfortunately it was Boyne Hill who managed to get the all important final goal.

We have a lot of things to work on in training: better marking in defence, getting the ball clear, attacking more quickly, looking up before passing or shooting... The Bulls can play much better than we did today.

Man of the match went to Jamie, who made his debut for the Bulls in the second half. Jamie was powerful, determined, competed for the ball and made some good runs forward. Well done Jamie!

Holtspur Bucks 2 Bulls 10

A deserved first win for the Bulls. Great performances from everyone involved today and the goals that have seemed so difficult in the last few weeks, were flying in from the start. Indeed the final goal tally could have been much higher, if not for a good game from the Holstpur goalkeeper.

4 goals from Janni, 3 from Bradley, and 1 each from Charlie, Callum and Oliver ; even Joel managed to get on the score sheet, unfortunately not at the right end of the pitch! There were many contenders for man of the match, which was very a difficult decision - Janni with his best performance of the season (some great shooting, running and passing), Charlie (who was revelling in the chance to play in attack), Bradley scored three fine goals and was positive and determined throughout. Lewis and Callum were dogged and hard working in midfield, Joel and Josh defended well, and Jordan remained focused with some decent saves, despite having very little to do for most of the match.

Man of the match was awarded to Oliver for another consistent captain's game in both defence and midfield, particularly for keeping Holtspur under pressure throughout with some great passes and long shots. A deserved victory that will hopefully provide some confidence for tougher matches that will follow.

New Windsor Barca 2 Rams 3

The Rams travelled to New Windsor Barca's new ground at Imperial Park in Windsor. Barca were undefeated this season and looked to be a formidable side.

Windsor kicked off the first half and the Rams set about them in typical fashion, not giving a single player any time or space on the ball. The first 10 minutes was totally one sided, Tom Scott gave us the lead after some excellent passing and movement through the midfield. A string of fine saves from the Barca keeper ensured the score remianed at 1-0. The Rams must have had a least 10 shots on target in a period of around 5 minutes sustained pressure but could not double their lead. Barca then broke and hit us on the break but the final shot missed the target. From the resulting goal kick the defence didn't clear the ball quick enough and were caught in possession. Ben Hillier in the Rams goal didn't stand a chance when the Windsor player hit a fantastic lob shot over him to make it 1-1. Once again the Rams piled on the pressure but the half time whistle ensured the scores remained level.

The second half kicked off and the Rams continued the assault on the Barca goal. After a mazey run through the midfield from Lewis Dudzik he struck a fine shot into the corner of the goal from outside the box to give us the lead, 2-1. The league leaders continued to carve out chance after chance and it was a powerful shot from Tom Scott which led to our 3rd goal. The keeper could not hold onto the close range shot and the ball fell to James Heady and was in the net before he even knew what had happened! Credit to James though again for being in the right place at the right time, 3-1.

Our eagerness to score more goals though was almost our undoing as we were left exposed at the back on several occasions. The pacey forward player from Windsor was too quick for the SYCOB defenders to catch and he neatly rounded Connor in the Rams goal and finnished well, 3-2. The boys held on though for a deserved win and another great game.

MOTM was Callum Gray this week with another solid performance.

Boyne Hill Tornadoes 5 Bulls 0 (Cup)

The Bulls battled hard to keep the score down against the division B leaders. Playing in heavy rain throughout the game the Bulls kept going against strong opponents.

There were several very good performances. Joel and Lewis again justified their places in the starting line-up, Oliver led by example as captain and Josh made a good job of man-marking Boyne Hill's star player (a difficult task!).

Man of the match Jordan had little chance with any of the goals. He made a series of excellent saves and brave blocks to keep the scoreline respectable.

The Bulls will not play such strong opponents again this season. If they continue to show such great spirit and effort then a first league win can't be far away.

Man of the match: Jordan

Rams 3 NW Falcons 1 (CUP)

Our entry into the League Cup or Plate would be decided on this match. Our opponents were from the Division below us but put up a brave fight.

Our ever reliable striker Tom Scott opened the scoring after some good work in midfield from Ben and Connor. Callum doubled the lead shortly after, Tom Scott playing a sqaure ball accross the edge of the box and Callum slotted home into the bottom corner, that 2 goals in 2 games for him now. Corey Edwards in the Rams goal was pretty much untroubled in the first half with the defensive duo of Sean and Lewis limiting the visitors chances. First half finnished 2-0 to the home side.

The second half kicked off and the Falcons fought hard to get back into the match and after a couple of good saves from James Heady in the SYCOB goal he was left exposed again and Windsor got a goal back, 2-1 and game on!

The Falcons pushed hard for an eqauliser and came close a couple of times until the Rams hit them on the counter attack, Corey Edwards finnishing off the move to make it 3-1. That's 3 in 3 now for Corey Edwards.

MOTM went to captain for the day Connor Campbell for a solid performance in the centre of midfield.

We could have scored a few more goals late on, if some of the lads would have got their heads up and played the simple pass to the man in space, instead of going on solo runs. But the Rams progress to the First Round of the League Cup on a very wet and windy day. Well done boys!
