Season 26/27

Nov 7th
Shires Cup - Blues 2–6 Stevenage
A tough result for the lads, but plenty of positives to take from the performance, particularly in the first 60 minutes.
The team worked incredibly hard from the very first minute, showing great determination and team spirit. After going 2 goals behind, the lads showed real character to fight their way back into the game and go into half-time level at 2–2.
Both goals came from George Hines and Zac Lomax, with some outstanding passing from captain Jack Chippington, who provided the assists for both goals. 👏
Jake also deserves a special mention for his tireless work on the left-hand side, regularly making yards, driving forward and helping push the team up the pitch.

Unfortunately, Stevenage pulled away in the latter stages, with the final score finishing 6–2.
🏆 Players of the Match:
• ⭐ Jack Chippington – Outstanding passing, creativity and two assists.
• ⭐ Jake – Fantastic work rate, driving runs and determination throughout.
Plenty of positives to build on. The scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story, and the effort, commitment and character shown by the lads for large parts of the game should be recognised.
Keep working hard, lads. Heads up and on to the next one! 💙⚽
The Yellows hosted Wycombe in a double header in both the Southern Counties and Cotswold Leagues and came out on top 3-0.
A superb hard working when not in possession performance added to crisp sharp passing and great movement gave the Yellows the points as Harrison Wallace grabbed a hat trick and possibly the match ball. 
Brilliant performance all round from all the squad, but the Player of the Match went to Jordan Shindler for his work rate and threat on the left hand side going forward. Other consistent performers were Zach Morris, Reggie Ledger and Harley Tonge. 
It’s 3 games without conceding now for the Yellows as they find themselves being more consistent and making better decisions. 
Keep it going!

Oct 31st
Tough hard fought game between the Yellows and Blues in the Cotswold League this morning. 
In the first half, the Yellows dominated possession and territory but the Blues were a danger on the break. Harley Tonge gave the Yellows the lead midway through the first half but they couldn’t capitalise on it. 
HT was still 1-0.
The Blues showed their grit and determination in the 2nd half as they competed for everything and shut the ball down quickly, not allowing the Yellows to play. Despite this, there wasn’t much goal mouth action although there were small patches during the half where either side could scored.
Final score was 1-0 to the Yellows and the POM’s were Henry Wood for the Yellows and for the Blues it was Harry Smith.
Next week the Blues travel to Stevenage and the Yellows host Wycombe.

Oct 24th
Only the 2 games today and there were differing scoreline. 
The Blues lost out to Newbury in the Cotswold League as they succumbed to a strong side. Newbury were unrepentant in scoring goals and not taking their better players off as they ran amok against the Blues. 
To their credit, the Blues kept going despite losing their keeper to a head injury at half time. The final score was 9-1 with Jake Prescott notching once more. POM was George Hines, who went in goal for the second half and was outstanding. 
The Yellows hosted Woking in the Southern Counties League and had the same situation, only reversed. They were stronger than a resilient Woking side and came winning 8-0 despite making regular changes to personnel, formation and player positions. 
Goals coming from Harrison Wallace with 4, Henry Wood with 2 and singles from Reggie Ledger and George Haslar. 
POM could have been any of the players as they listened to instructions and were excellent throughout. In the end it went to Harrison Wallace.

Oct 17th
All 4 teams were in action today.
The u10 Development squad made the cross river journey to play Swale in the Kent League looking to keep up their recent good form. 
It didn’t work out like that as Swale took a 5 goal lead before Harry Huddleston and Harry Green reduced the arrears but it was too little too late as they fell to a 5-2 loss in Kent. POM was Harry Huddleston.
The Girls played at Woking in the Southern Counties League Cup round 1 and came through as group winners to secure a champions cup place in May. Top scorer Khadijah Alam once again scored her class in front of goal and scored 4, while the other goal was by Charlotte Walker. Well done girls. POM was Khadijah Alam.
The u11 boys were also in action in the Southern Counties League Cup and the Yellows came 3rd and the Blues were 5th in the group, their highlight being a 1-0 victory over the yellows in the last game with a goal by James Kaloci. This followed a very good draw in the opener with Hackney. POM was Jake Prescott.
The Yellows were denied top spot and had to settle for 3rd as goals from Henry Wood, Harrison Wallace, Max Hamilton and Harley Tonge saw them beat Dacorum, and draw with Hackney and Stevenage. POM was Reggie Ledger.

Oct 10th
Not a great day in terms of results.
The Blues hosted Maidstone in the Kent Championship and came across a strong physical side who went back down the M25 with the 3 points.
A bruising encounter on a hard pitch meant conditions weren’t perfect and rain is sorely needed to soften the ground and allow proper football to be played, which the Blues want to play. POM was Harry Smith.
No such pitch issues for the Yellows down in Bath for the Cotswold League match. Lush flat and green, perfect for football and the first half was played nearly exclusively in the Bath half and penalty but with only a Henry Wood goal to show for that dominance, concentration was key. Bath however, broke twice to score twice before the half to take an undeserved lead. A solitary goal for Bath, despite plenty of the ball once more, gave Bath a 3-1 win.
POM with 2 outstanding saves was Will Cunningham.

Oct 3rd
Another Saturday of District football saw all 4 teams in action again.
A fantastic tournament for the u10s in Swale, finishing unbeaten with 4 wins and 1 draw, scoring 10 goals and conceding just 1.
The group stage saw a 1-1 draw with Swale (Harry Huddleston), followed by wins over Woking 3-0 (Zander Xhoka, Josh Loxton, Harry Huddleston) Ashford 2-0 (Harry Huddleston, Leo Whitlock) and Tonbridge 2-0 (Leo Whitlock 2).
The boys progressed to the Final, producing another excellent performance to secure a deserved 2-0 victory (Harry Huddleston, Zander Xhoka).
A brilliant display of teamwork, determination and quality football throughout the tournament.
POTM - Ronnie Hurst

Sept 26th
A mixed bag of results today.

Sept 19th
A great day all round as the young saints won 4/4 against Gloucester and Canterbury
The Blues were at home in the Kent Championship and won 4-1 with goals from Jake Prescott with a brace, Harry Smith and Ben Brierley. Two wins out of two now for the Blues. POM was skipper Jack Chippington. 
The Yellows, Girls and u10s had the annual pilgrimage to Gloucester, a tough place to play and even harder to come away with a win!
But with great resilience and quality play, all 3 teams managed to get victories.
The Yellows were up first and went behind early on but soon equalised and went ahead with 2 goals from Harry Huddleston, and then the winner in the second half was from Even Warren, who showed great persistence to poke the ball into the net. POM was Henry Wood.
The Girls were next in the Southern Counties League and despite some travel difficulties, they went ahead through Evie Cutler who also grabbed a second. Immy Landau also scored as the game looked to be ending in a draw. However, POM Khadijah Alam had other ideas as she took a bouncing ball and smashed it into the top corner for a goal worthy of winning any game. 
The last kick off was the u10s and this was also a high scoring end to end game where the forwards took centre stage. A solid 6-4 win, and it could have been more comfortable but for the opposition keeper. Goals came from Leo Whitlock and Ronnie Hurst, who got a brace each and singles from Eddie Watson and Jasper Croxton.
POM was Leo Whitlock.

Sept 12th
The home Festival took place at Colney Heath FC and the u10s took part and competed brilliantly although they lost 3 tight games against Yellows, Dacorum and Newbury plus they drew against Stevenage. A tough set of games against older teams and a lot learned for future games against their own age group. Shiloh couldn't be prouder. POM was Zander Xhoka.
The Yellows won 2 and drew 2, with goals from Henry Wood, Harry Wallace and Jordan Shindler. They grew stronger as the morning went on and played some great football. The signs look good for the season and they begin properly next week with the annual trip to Gloucester. POM was Henry Wood and Leo Leggett.
The Blues played their first Kent Championship game as they travelled to Greenwich. They had a slow start to the game but soon got their act together and came out winning comfortably with an 8-2 scoreline. Goals came from Ben Brierley 3, Jack Chippington 2, Jake Prescott, Harley Tonge and Harry Smith. POM was Cason Hall-Smallhorne.
