Bulls 0 New Windsor Seahawks 2
A disappointing defeat for the Bulls who never really got started. Playing against a big team on the small pitch the Bulls found it hard to get forward and were 2-0 down at the break.
The Bulls matched the Seahawks in the second half but there were few clear chances at either end. It was a scrappy game and we know that the Bulls can play better.
Josh was motm for a solid first half display in goal and for 100% effort in the second half.

New Windsor Eagles 3 Bulls 3
What a great fight back! 3-0 down early in the second half, it seemed as if the Bulls were heading for defeat until Jack smashed home his first goal of the season to begin to turn things around.
The first half was a familiar story. The Bulls more than matched New Windsor but just couldn't get the ball into the net. Two fast break aways from the Eagles caught our defence cold and we went in the break two goals behind.
Boosted by the arrival of Callum at half time, the Bulls went in the second half with plenty of confidence, but disaster struck in the first few minutes. Yet again the Eagles broke quickly after the Bulls lost possession and unbelievably it was 3-0!
But the Bulls never gave up. Oliver kept encouraging the team, Max, Janni, Jack and Lewis worked their socks off, Joel made every tackle, Jamie and Callum competed for every ball. When New Windsor did break out of their half Josh was always alert in goal.
Eventually the Bulls pressure paid off. Max's shot bounced off a New Windsor defender and Jack seized on the chance to put the Bulls back in the game. It was one way traffic for the rest of the second half. A shot from Oliver was pushed out by the Eagles keeper and Jamie reacted quickly to keep up his excellent recent goalscoring record.
With the Bulls pushing for an equaliser, New Windsor almost caught us again on the break: having their fourth goal ruled out by the sharped-eyed ref for a push on Lewis.
With two minutes to go the Bulls won a free kick just outside of the New Windsor area. Up stepped Oliver. It was in the same place as the free kick Olly converted to grab a 3-3 draw against Old Windsor Tigers a few weeks ago. Could he possibly do it again? The free kick was struck just as crisply, the New Windsor wall scattered, the keeper was beaten... but this time the ball rebounded off a post. A crazy goal mouth scramble failed to get the ball over the line and it seemed that the Bulls had lost after all.
But there was one more twist! With one of the goals of the season so far - a rocket from the edge of the box into the top corner - Janni grabbed the equaliser in the very last minute. A great goal, a super effort and a fabulous fight back! Well done Bulls!
motm : Jamie - battled superbly, hit the net yet again, his passing improves every match

Chalfont St Cobras 2 Bulls 1
How the Bulls lost this we will never know!
The Bulls dominated possession from the start. With most of the first ten minutes spent in the Cobras half it seemed only a matter of time until the Bulls would take the lead.
A long kick from the Cobras' keeper - on a smaller than usual pitch - bounced over our defenders heads and flew past Jordan in goal. Unbelievably, 1-0! With the Bulls still stunned at being behind, a rare Cobras corner was pushed into the air by Jordan and a Cobras striker reacted quickly to put Chalfont two up.
At half time, the Bulls were still confident of making a come back. Everybody could see that the Bulls had been the better team and the Bulls remained in good spirits. Janni summed it up: "That was the funniest goal I've ever seen!".
The Bulls bombarded the Cobras goal throughout the second half. A succession of superb corners from Max led to chance after chance. Headers flew over, volleys hit the side netting, the Cobras keeper pulled off a couple of fantastic saves. Eventually Jamie got the break though, after Callum had touched on yet another of Max's corners. More goals seemed sure to follow as the Bulls spent the rest of the half in or around the Cobra's penalty area, but somehow the equaliser never came.
The Cobra's manager said after the game, "We rode our luck a bit there!". That's football. Hopefully, the Bulls will get their share of good luck soon.
Max was man of the match, for his all-round play and for delivering so many quality corners.

Chalfont St Sharks 4 Rams 1
The Rams had one of the toughest tests this week, going to Chalfont Sharks who are one of the strong teams in the league, with only a bare seven players and then at the last minute having to play with only six .
The boys took up the challenge without any hesitation and started the game by putting Chalfont under pressure from the off by tackling and chasing every ball. Some great crosses from James and Tom nearly gave us an early goal, if it wasn't for the under pressure chalfont defence just clearing their goal line. On the rare occasion Chalfont got through our solid defence, we had Ben on fantastic form pulling off some excellent saves.
Then the break came when James played the ball to Lewis who drove the ball into the box. A deflection took the ball past the Chalfont keeper.
After half time and a well earned rest, the boys kept battling with Arran not just winning the ball but passing the ball onto Tom whose shot just went past the post. Chalfont started to use the extra player more and, but for Sean's tough tackling and and skills, could have equalized. Chalfont pressured more and scored from a well taken corner. Chalfont had to wait till near the end before they got their winning goals.
The lads heads did not go down and they battled to the end. Man of the match went to every single one of the team for a brave effort, even the Chalfont supporters praised the Rams efforts knowing that if we had a full team the win would have been ours.
motm: Arran, Ben, James, Lewis, Sean, Tom
