Horley Town 3 Epsom & Ewell 1
Horley Town v Furngate Youth
Sunday 29th January 2012
Horley Town lost this fixture the last time these two teams met by just a goal and it was a very tight game again this time round. From kick-off, it was end to end action with some good passing between the boys. Just before half time, Toby Giraldo, having just returned to the team after recovering from a broken arm, unleashed a brilliant shot which hit the crossbar and rebounded back to Harvey Banner who then scored.
The second half saw some good chances on goal from the boys but equally Joseph Marshall had to be strong in defence. With Furngate piling on the pressure, Horley did have to defend with all their players. In the last few minutes of the game, they seemed to lose their formation which led to Furngate having some good shots on goal. Charlie Whiteside saved the day with 2 great saves in the last minute of the game.
Horley Town v Oakwood Red
Sunday 8th January 2012
First game back after the festive break and it was a case of deja vu as the boys registered their second 0-0 draw of the season against Oakwood Red. The match was as tight as the scoreline suggested with there being few clear cut scoring opportunities, little width used and the play predominantly in the middle of the pitch. Harvey Banner put in a man of the match performance as he commanded the centre of midfield and struck the post with a long range free kick.
Horley Town v Maidenbower Black
Sunday 15th January 2012
After the goal drought in the previous week, the floodgates opened as the boys completed a convincing 9-0 victory against Maidenbower Black. The early part of the game saw increasingly confident passing and interplay as openings were created but the chances couldn’t quite be converted. Mid-way through the half Charlie Lansdown opened the scoring quickly followed by a brace from Harvey Banner to leave the score 3-0 at half time.
The second half saw Charlie Lansdown quickly add to his goal tally followed by man of the match Luca Vicelli-Willcox and Taylor Whelan both scoring twice with Charlie Whiteside concluding proceedings with a well taken goal.
