Bulls 0 Upton Youth 1

The Bulls came within a few minutes of being the first team this season to take a point off table-topping Upton Youth.

The visitors started brightly and kept the Bulls in our own half for most of the first half. An excellent defensive display by Joel and Charlie - and a string of good saves by man of the match Jordan - helped to keep the scores level at the break.

In an even second half the Bulls had plenty of possession around the Upton Youth penalty box but couldn't quite turn the possession into clear chances. The Bulls worked hard enough to deserve a draw and so it was especially disappointing to concede such a late goal.

To their credit the boys came back strongly, trying for an equaliser right to the final whistle.

Man of the match : Jordan

Rams 5 Eton Wick 0

The Rams lined up against a big Eton Wick side in which looked to be another tough encounter. SYCOB Rams had two birthday boys hitting 9 years of age and looked to extend their unbeaten start to the season. The home team started brightly with several chances being created and it was only through some excellent goal keeping from the visitors kept the score at 0-0.

Captain for today Corey Edwards was on the score sheet again with a well taken effort. Tom Scott with the assist set up James Heady to fire home. James doubled his tally for the day with a fantastic shot that left the keeper no chance. Thats 3 goals in 2 games for the energetic midfielder.

Callum completed the scoring making it 5-0 with a rare goal, after another well hit free kick from Lewis Dudzik was turned in past the keeper.

Sean Chivers was unlucky not to get on the score sheet after his corner looked to have crossed the line but the ref didnt give it.

MOTM again was difficult to chose from with some many sublime performances but this week it went to Arran Gill. After missing a couple of tricky earlier efforts, Arran eventually got his first goal of the season. He was unlucky not to score more as he created several chances with his great vision and spacial awareness. Well done Arran.

Connor and Callum both had a quiet time in the Rams goal and look forward to a good runout in the cup next week against Windsor.

Ben Hillier again was solid in defence, and all the lads can take credit from one of the best team performances so far this season and the first clean sheet!

West Drayton Explorers 1 Bulls 1

A huge improvement from the Bulls who were very unlucky not to win the game.

West Drayton won 7-1 last week, but the Bulls were the better team for most of the game. A good shot from Callum gave the Bulls a deserved lead halfway through a hard fought first half. The half-time whistle blew just as the Bulls had a great chance to make it 2-0!

West Drayton equalised early in the second half with a close range tap in from a corner. Apart from that, the Bulls defence was back to its best, with Oliver playing alongside Joel (who played his best game so far, almost winning the man of the match). Even when we lost Oliver and Jordan through injury, the defence was solid. Credit to Charlie who played in midfield, in defence and in goal, performing equally well in all positions.

Everybody played much better than last week. All ten players gave 100% effort and we began to see some nice passing moves from defence through to attack.

Man of the match was Callum. He was the only Bull to play for every minute of the match, showed great commitment, ran the midfield, got forward at every opportunity and scored our goal. Only the crossbar prevented Callum from grabbing a late winner. Superb display!

Burnham Blues 1 Rams 9

Another tough fixture early in the season saw the Rams pick up their first win of the season in impressive style. The boys dominated from the first to the final whistle. Hat tricks from MOTM Lewis Dudzik and Tom Scott along with first league goals of the season for James Heady and Corey Edwards saw the Rams run out 9-1 winners.

The Burnham goal was peppered with shots throughout the match with their keeper making several quality saves. Burnham did get one back in the first half after a good cross from the wing was neatly tucked away. The Blues never really looked like getting into the match and it was well and truly beyond their reach after Lewis smashed home a free kick from long range to make it 4-1.

Tom and James combined well down the left hand side mid way through the second half with several neat one twos around the Burnham defenders before Tom smashed the ball into the roof of the net in style.

Sean Chivers had another solid game, Callum Gray kept a clean sheet in goal second half and assured defensive displays from Connor Cambell and Ben Hillier.

The Rams were Rampant once again and had the crowd and sponsors buzzing with delight! Eton Wick next week and another tough test for the boys from Beaconsfield.

Bulls 1 New Windsor Eagles 4

A disappointing start to the season for the Bulls. Despite having plenty of possession the Bulls struggled to make clear chances against an energetic Eagles team and were guilty of some sloppy defending.

Bright spots included good performances from Callum, Bradley and Charlie. Bradley's well taken goal is hopefully the first of many from him this season.

The Bulls can play much better than this. We have a difficult away fixture at West Drayton Explorers next weekend and need everyone to improve their game for that.

Man of the match : Bradley

Rams 1 Burnham Whites 1

The Rams started the season with a solid performance and a well earned point against a strong Burnham side. Lewis Dudzik broke the deadlock early on in the match after some positive quick play from Beaconsfield.

Burnham in search of the equaliser won a free kick on the left hand side that was neatly dispatched into the top corner. The blue & whites fought hard to get back into the game but a good save from Callum Gray in the Rams goal kept the scores level.

The second half it was mainly the home side who looked like taking all three points with some clever play from Arran in midfield. Tom Scott always looked a threat up front but the Rams just could not break down a resilient Burnham side.

Good performances from Sean, James and Corey who worked tirelessly throughout the match. Ben Hillier made a couple of great tackles later on to deny Burnham shooting opportunities. Connor Campbell kept a clean sheet in the second half and all in all a thoroughly enjoyable match to watch.
