Round 1

Westland Sports   5      Weymouth Wanderers   3

Weymouth fully played their part in a cracking cup tie but ultimately couldn't cope with the strong aerial power of their higher division hosts and were left a little frustrated at the end of a pulsating match.

Wanderers more than matched their opponents early on and took the lead on 15 minutes.  Harrey Price, who was excellent all afternoon,  broke up an attack on the edge of the Wanderers box before feeding Tom Beckett on the counter attack who in turn sliced open the Westland defence with a  lovely pass to Ryan Price.  Price still had work to do but his thumping left foot shot rounded off a lovely move.

Westland twice scored from headers from corners for a 2-1 half-time lead but the cup tie was anyone's game to win.

Within seconds of the re-start Westland went 3-1 ahead from another header but the Wanderers dug deep and enjoyed their best spell of the match.  Firstly, Tom Beckett was through on goal and his shot beat the keeper only to see it agonisingly bounce back off the upright and away to safety.  He was not to be denied only moments later however, when a lovely through ball from Harrey Price saw him beat the Westland keeper with a neat finish and the game was now very much in the melting pot.

Moments after this Beckett, who was giving the defenders a torrid time out paced his marker in the penalty area who clearly tripped him as he ran past but referee Butcher failed to give Weymouth a penalty which provoked a furious reaction from the Weymouth bench.

With 10 minutes remaining Weymouth gambled and pushed Zak Bentley forward leaving the defence exposed and Westland scored two goals on the break.

Still Weymouth were not finished though and Sami Bessaad came on and caused havoc in the Westland penalty area.  At the second time of asking he found the ball at his feet and his goalbound shot was stopped by a Westland hand and this time referee Butcher pointed to the spot.  Price gave the keeper no chance with his spot kick.

As the players returned to the half-way line and with still 3 minutes plus injury time remaining on the clock referee Butler prematurely, and rather  mysteriously brought proceedings to an end leaving the visitors a little flat following what had been a good performance.

Paul Hutton said after the game, "Geoff and I were really pleased with the boys commitment and character today.  We battled really hard throughout the game and refused to lie down.  The two key moments in the second period needed to go our way but once again the sporting gods were frowning upon us.  For the second week running we feel that the key decisions went against us and at risk of sounding like a broken record the boys deserved better than this".

Thanks to captain Sam Hutton for doing his linesman duties today.

Man of the match: Tom Beckett who led the line magnificently all afternoon and caused the Westland defence no end of problems.

Finally,  thanks again to all those parents and supporters who made the journey to Yeovil to cheer on the boys.

Weymouth Wanderers  1    Poole Borough  4

Weymouth were beaten for the first time this season but could feel slightly aggrieved at the final outcome which belies what in fact was a closely fought game.

Despite the recent torrential rain the pitch was playing perfectly and Wanderers made a number of enforced changes from the team which had performed so well seven days ago.

Weymouth should have drawn first blood on 10 minutes when awarded a penalty by referee Cameron Lucas who held centre-stage all afternoon,  but Ryan Price saw his spot kick pushed onto the bar and from the rebound his header didn't have enough power to beat Bromley in the visitors goal.

Price attoned for his earlier miss just 5 minutes later when from a fine cross from Adam Cowne on the right Bromley failed to hold onto the cross leaving Price with a simple tap-in from close range.

Almost instantly Poole replied and a good piece of finishing from Jones brought the scores level.

Towards the end of an even first period a pivotal moment saw Poole take the lead.  Referee Lucas adjudged that Rob Townley's foot was high as he cleared a ball away and an indirect free-kick was given some 8 yards out.  Poole Borough seized on the gift with alacrity and a 2-1 deficit at half time was harsh on the Wanderers.

The second half saw Wanderers create as many chances as the visitors but were punished on the break and Poole took a 3-1 lead which made it very difficult for the home side with 20 minutes of the game remaining.

Weymouth continued to try and get the ball down, and they opened up Poole with a classy move involving a flicked header from Price to Place but the latter blasted his shot straight at the keeper when it was probably easier to score.

Weymouth were still very much in the game however, and when Price used his body strength to shrug off his marker and put the ball in the net he stood aghast as referee Lucas adjudged that he had illegally won the ball.  It was a moment which was quite fitting as it epitomised how the decisions all went against the home side in the second period.

In the last 10 minutes a penalty was awarded for hand-ball against Townley even though he was struck from close range and appeared to have his back to the ball.
Poole needed no second invitation to rub salt into the wounds with a fourth goal which gave the scoreline a very distorted look.

A fuming Paul Hutton was not available for comment on the match after the game.

Poole Borough manager Steven Rockinsham commented after the game that he felt the game had been "well refereed".
 
Thanks to Brett for his linesman duties today.

Man of the match:  Adam Jones who had a good game in the left back position this afternoon.

Sherborne Town    2      Weymouth Wanderers   2

Wanderers skipper Sam Hutton led from the front with an equaliser 10 minutes from time and it was no more than his team deserved after a cracking battle with another of the league's unbeaten teams.

Contested on an excellent playing surface this game was a great advert for U16s football between two well-matched teams.

The visitors made the early running and after Ryan Price had seen an earlier close range shot saved after being fed the ball from Charlie Steadman, the former got on the end of an identical move on 10 minutes to fire Wanderers into the lead.

This lead lasted barely a minute when Dent got on the end of a long through ball to loop in an equaliser beyond the outrushing Sam Dalkins.

Tom Beckett came close to restoring the visitors' the lead when he chased down a back-pass and put the Sherborne keeper under all sorts of pressure before hooking his shot wide when it was probably easier to score.  The hard-working forward led the line superbly all afternoon and would have richly deserved his goal.

Wanderers created a couple of other great chances which were not taken through a combination of profligacy in front of goal, and some last ditch defending from Sherborne.

After the interval the home side really tested Wanderers with some fine probing football and took the lead after 15 minutes with a fine cross and header from the right flank.

Wanderers re-grouped and a tactical change saw the excellent Zak Bentley join Beckett up front, and within 30 seconds should have pulled his side level with a close range header from a corner.

Wanderers continued to press for the equaliser and when Steadman drove a goal-bound shot which was blocked inadvertently by his own player Ryan Price it looked as if it wasn't going to be their day.

Aaron Berns then hit a screamer from outside the area which beat the goalkeeper but whistled just past the outside of the post.

With 10 minutes remaining however, Wanderers got a corner on the right which was swung it and Price got up and headed the ball goal-bound.  His header was stopped on the goalline by a Sherborne defender's hand but before the referee could award a penalty the ball rebounded to Sam Hutton who scrambled the ball over the line for a deserved share of the spoils.
  
Manager Paul Hutton said after the match, "I congratulate my team for a fine performance against a strong Sherborne side.  Whilst i'm delighted with a point, on chances created we could have won but overall a draw was a very fair result.  I thought we finished the game strongly and showed good character to fight back in the second half".

Thanks to Dave Yardley and Adam Cowne for providing both linesmen today and to all those parents who turned up to support us once again.  It's fantastic to see so many parents at an away game and we hope the boys put on a good show for you today.

Wanderers:  Sam Dalkins, Aaron Berns, Ben Graham, Rowan Lees, Harry Tucker, Ryan Price, Sam Hutton, Zak Bentley, Joe Watters, Tom Beckett, Charlie Steadman  Subs:    Jack Yardley, Adam Jones, Sami Bessaad.

Head out of Dorchester on the A37, and then look for the A352 on the right which takes you into Sherborne.

Just before you get to Sherborne itself you come down a long sweeping hill, go past the pitches on your right where we played last year and continue on over a railway line. Look for a turning on the left - pitches should be on the left hand side.

kick off 2pm.  Please arrive for 1.30pm.

Please let myself or Geoff know on Saturday if you need a lift

Weymouth Wanderers 4       Dorchester Town Cobras  1
 
With a strong blustery wind blowing down the pitch at Redlands this afternoon playing conditions were always going to be difficult for both sides.  Ultimately, it was the Wanderers who got their approach spot on and deservedly came away with a 4-1 victory which did not flatter the hosts at all.

Weymouth handed a debut to Joe Watters and the busy little play-maker had a good game on the right and played his part in a good all-round team performance which saw Ryan Price bag himself a hat-trick.

Chosing to defend against the wind in the first half, the Weymouth rearguard kept the visitors out with some comfort and Sam Dalkins was not forced to stop a shot in anger.   The pairing of Aaron Berns and Rob Townley dealt very effectively with any attacks and behind them the back four of Ben Graham, Rowan Lees, Sam Hutton and Ian Place were on good form.

At the other end, Weymouth came closest of the two sides to score when Ryan Price was unlucky to see his long-range effort bounce of the crossbar and into the arms of the grateful keeper.

Rob Townley put a header from a corner just wide and at half-time the game was scoreless.

Weymouth made a change at half-time pushing Ian Place into the lone-striker role and after only 55 seconds they took the lead.  Ryan Price swung a vicious in-swinging corner in from the left and the Dorchester keeper could do nothing to keep the cross from curling into the net.

After on 50 minutes Wanderers deservedly doubled their lead when the diminutive Watters received the ball out wide on the right and his pin-point pass unselfishly found Ian Place who drilled the ball home from close range for a 2-0 lead.

The home side were still not finished and Price added his second after picking the ball up on the edge of the area before out-pacing his marker and burying a left foot shot into the corner of the net.

Wanderers took their foot off the gas with 15 minutes left when they allowed an un-marked Dorchester striker a clear run on goal from a throw-in and there was nothing that Sam Dalkins could do to prevent the goal.

With some 5 minutes remaining Price duly completed his hat-trick with a follow-up tap in after the visiting keeper had failed to hold onto a shot.

Manager Paul Hutton said after the match, "The boys listened to what we said before the game, defending very well against the wind and using it effectively in the second period.  It was a good all-round team performance and if i'm being hyper-critical, I was disappointed that we conceded that second half goal in the manner that we did."

Thanks to Dave Yardley for refereeing the game very well, and it was great to see the other squad members, Harry, Zac and Tom at the game to show their support.

Man of the match:  Rob Townley for playing that defensive midfield role very well in both halves, and having a hand in a couple of those goals as well.

Bridport   1     Weymouth Wanderers 1
 
On a hot and sunny afternoon in Beaminester, this game was a good advert for U16s football, well refereed by Mr Mick Scully, and Weymouth came away with their first point against Bridport in five attempts over the past two seasons.

In the opening stages of the match Ian Place brought a fine save from the Bridport keeper with a stinging shot after a fine move in the build up.

The home side then put Weymouth on the back foot but found the back four of Hutton, Bentley, Graham and Lees in good form, and behind them Dalkins dealt impressively with any shots and crosses which came his way.  Pick of his saves was a tremendous one-handed diving effort which kept the game scoreless at the break.

Weymouth began the second period confidently and took the lead 7 minutes after the interval when Beckett beat a couple of defenders before cutting inside from the left edge of the penalty area and unleashing a fine right foot shot into the net.

The lead lasted for some 10 minutes when a mix-up at the back allowed Bridport to equalise from close range.

The final 15 minutes saw chances for both sides but the game finally ended all square.

Manager Paul Hutton said after the match, "Geoff and I were really pleased with the work rate and commitment of the boys today.  This is a game that we would have lost 12 months ago and it is a difficult place to come and get anything.  The shape of the side looked good today and there were good performances all over the pitch. We were delighted to pick up a point from a strong Bridport side".

Thanks to Gerry and Chris for sharing the linesman duties today and to all the other parents who came to support us and helped with lifts!

Man of the match:  Sam Dalkins for a very assured and confident performance between the sticks.

The general idea was when team were finished with the kit, too small now! Then they would go to help out another team starting out.

The kit is a quite good nick, has a least another season left in it and would benefit an U7's, 8's side in need of a kit who maybe does not have a sponsor or the funds to buy a new one.

Let me know if you want it, could save you a bit of cash!!
