Gaddesden foiled again

 (Little Gaddesden 1 - Cassiobury Rangers 2)
Goal scorer James, Man of the Match: Harry

A cracking penalty by James put the Gaddesden team in the lead early in the second half, in an evenly matched game. Well timed tackles by Harry broke up several attacks by the Cassiobury team in the first half, but they came back strongly with two goals late in the second half. The equaliser almost came when a long range pass by Rupert split the Cassiobury defence, but the goal keeper just beat Jamahl to the ball.

Chesham goalie holds Gaddesden forwards at bay

 (Little Gaddesden 1 - Chesham White 4)
Goal scorer: Will, Man of the Match: Rupert

The little Gaddesden attack led by James came up against a skillful and brave display by the Chesham goalie who could be beaten only once by a shot from our new player, Will. Strong counter-attacks by the Chesham forwards broke through to acheive 4 goals despite staunch defensive play from Harry and man of the match, Rupert. Jamahl and Isaac took turns to stand in for injured goalie, Sam, with each making several good saves. Robert, Jamie and Oliver worked hard in midfield both supporting the defence and pushung forward into attack.

Little Gaddesden gets it's first win

 (Little Gaddesden 2 - Nascot Wood Rangers 0)
Goal scorer: Jamahl and own goal
A tremendous all-round team performance produced the first win of the season. The midfield trio, Robert, Oliver and Will, launched attacks throughout the game linking up with Jamahl. Defenders Todd and Matthew (borrowed from under 9's) and Jamie broke up many attacks by the big Nascot forwards, bolstered by an inspired performance in goal from Philip. Pressure from the Little Gaddesden team eventually led to Nascot conceding an own goal. Jamahl scored the team's second goal with a fine strike in the second half.

Will strikes back

 (Little Gaddesden 4 - Nascot Wood Rangers 4)
Goal scorers: Will (3), Jamahl, Man of the Match: Will, Elliott

After their tight win against Nascot last week the return fixture was held at Nascot Wood School. Little Gaddesden conceded an early goal but then pressed forward with a series of attacks so they were leading 2-1 at half-time after goals by Jamahl and Will.
New under 9 player Elliott L stepped in to keep goal with so many of the under 10 squad on holiday or injured and made several fine saves. Defenders Elliott R and Isaac came under strong pressure early in the second-half which led to three goals by the Nascot team. The Little Gaddesden team did not give up and with Robert, Oliver and Will pressing forward from midfield the Nascot Wood team conceded two late goals scored by Will resulting in a well earned draw.

Robert Catches a Twister

 (Little Gaddesden 2 - Tring Tornadoes B 0)
Goal scorers: Will (2), Man of the Match: Robert

The second round of the Challenge Cup found the Little Gaddesden team drawn against first division side, Tring Tornadoes B. However, with confidence gained from two fine half term performances against Nascot Wood, Little Gaddesden attacked from the very start and gained a first half lead through Will's fifth goal of the season. The Tornadoes came back strongly in the second half but struggled to get past defenders Jamie and Isaac, backed up by midfield men, Robert and Oliver with goalkeeper Philip ready to stop any attacks that got through. Man of the match, robert, ran the length of the pitch to break up a tornadoes attack before launching a move that led to another well taken goal by Will moving onto a fine pass from Jamahl. It was a good win acheived against a strong side by better team work and much improved passing.

Five are Together Again

 (Little Gaddesden 5 - Garston Boys 0)
Goal scorers: Will (2), Robert 2, Jamahl Man of the Match: Philip

A tense start to the match saw Garston shake the Little Gaddesden cross bar with a well struck shot after five minutes. Goal keeper and man of the match, Philip, worked hard with the Little Gaddesden defence to hold the Garston attacks at bay until the team settled and counter attacked strongly down both wings. A strong shot by Wil broke the stalemate bringing the first goal with Jamahl adding a second shortly before half-time. The second half saw a confident performance from Little Gaddesden with Jamie coming forward into midfield to join in a series of passing moves that brought a second goal from Will and two from Robert.

Little Gaddesden fielded a full 10-man squad for the first time this season as new player, Ross, joined the team. Battling againsdt the wind, the Rangers team settled into the game quickly and controlled the play for most of the first half. Oliver, Will, Elliott and Robert pressed forward from midfield to link with Jamahl in attack. The pressure was rewarded through goals from Will and joint man-of-the-match Jamahl. The second half saw a strong fight back from the Herons team which met staunch defence from joint man-of-the-match, Jamie, Harry, Isaac, Philip in goal and robert covering back to help. Probing counterattacks led to second goals from both Jamahl and Will, before the Herons team snatched one back shortly before the final whistle. Return to fixtures and results table.

The Little Gaddesden team shook off the effects of the Christmas break with a session of speed training, before going into their second League Cup game. After a tense start, the high work rate of the Gaddesden team paid off with the first of 4 goals by Jamahl midway through the first half. Several of these goals resulted from strong runs out of midfield by joint Man of the Match Ross, Will, Robert and Philip. Several counter attacks from the Hemel team were repulsed by defenders Jamie, Harry, Sam and Rupert (returning for his first game after recovering from a broken collar bone).

Goal scorers: Jamahl 2, Jamie 2, Oliver
Man of the Match: Will, Robert, Jamie
The teams were well-matched, and play swung from end to end, but Little Gaddesden made use of their chances to put the ball into the back of the net and notch up their second win in Group 3B. Joint Man-of-the-Match, Jamie twice came forward from defence to score two goals. Despite the very wet conditions, the Little Gaddesden midfield attacked strongly doewn both wings, with Will serving up several long crosses into the penalty area. Tenacious defending especially from Isaac and Robert, stopped many of the Chesham counter-attacks from reachimg Sam, who foiled most of the rest.

Mud-Bath Magic

 (Little Gaddesden 3 - Woodhall 2)
Goal scorers: Jamahl, Ross, Robert : Man of the Match: Robert
Two nights of heavy rain left the Little Gaddesden team with a very soggy pitch for this key Division 2B home match. The strong Woodhall attack kept Philip busy in goal, but spurred on by the previous day's cup win, the home team went one up with a goal from Jamahl. They went two one down before Ross scored his first goal of the season to bring the score level again midway through the second half. In the last five minutes of the game Robert stormed through the mud patch in the centre of the pitch and put away the winning goal. Rupert, once again a tower of strength in defence, drove forward and narrowly missed adding a fourth goal shortly before the final whistle.
