Chairman's note: I had the pleasure of refereeing this match and the boys played fantastically, they never complained, they never argued, they supported each other and worked extremely hard for each other. I was proud to be associated with the team and if they can maintain this sort of attitude and fighting spirit for the rest of the season the results will start to turnaround. It is always a difficult game playing the league leaders with a full team and subs let alone with only six players and no recognised goalkeeper.

The whole team and is a credit to the Club.

Bransgore answered these early attempts at goal when they almost scored a goal the other end, narrowly missing due to some excellant defending from Alex and Luis. Then 10 minutes into the game Bransgore claimed their first goal making the score line 1-0.

Christchurch continued to battle on in the first half with Connor making some great saves, whilst Taryn, Beau and Harry pushed forward until Bransgore were once again successful in scoring another goal bringing the scoreline to 2-0. Just before half-time Luis had a good shot on goal, which was saved by Bransgore's goalkeeper.

Half-time score 2-0

Subs bought on: Mikey, Charles, Lewis and Cameron

The second half started on a posiitve note when Lewis kicked the ball towards the net and Bransgore scored an own goal bringing the scoreline to 2-1. Charlie then went on to add another goal to the score sheet and equalising for Christchurch with an amazing goal making the score then 2-2. Both teams then continued to battle on through the match, with good defending from Cameron and both teams were fairly equal with their shots on goal until Bransgore then managed to score their third goal 3-2. Christchurch then came back with some good team spirit and direction from the captain Luis Mikey battled tirelessly in claiming every loose ball and eventually this resulting in another goal for Christchurch, scored by Lewis making the scoreline 3-3.

Full-time score 3-3

Both teams played fantastically, very enjoyable game to watch and both of the teams were quite evenly matched, a good result for both teams.

Our 1st point of the season

Christchurch v Rossgarth

Match Result: 0 - 2

Christchurch started strongly and in the 1st minute Mikey and Lewis created a good chance but it was not converted, the game flowed end to end with great defending from both sides and some super saves from Conor in the Christchurch goal and also from the keeper of Rossgarth. Both teams were trying hard to break the deadlock with Christchurch just edging it in terms of chances created and shots on target but sadly they could not score the important first goal.

Half time: 0 - 0

Four minutes into the second half and Rossgarth scored against the run of play. The second half then carried on much like the first with both teams playing entertaining football and trying to breach the others net, but as with the first half both goalkeepers were in excellent form and denied the opposition time and again. As with the first half Christchurch had a lot of possession but could not make it tell and get that elusive equaliser, with six minutes left Rossgarth scored the decisive second goal and held out for a hard fought victory.

Both teams should be extremely proud of how they played, plenty of enthusiasm and skill and boundless energy, a superb game.

Full time 0 - 2

Christchurch v Ringwood Town

Match Result: 0 - 10


TEAM - Luis R (Captain), Connor R, Beau R, Jack G, Mikey F, Charles F, Alex A
Subs - Harry H, Taryn M

First match of the season and the Christchurch team were enthusiastic about making a promising start. Ringwood started the match not holding back and having 5 shots on goal within the first 8 minutes,but Connor (Goalkeeper) made some fantastic saves and really threw himself onto the ball at times. Ringwood kept on pushing forward throughout the first half and after 9 minutes they were successful at scoring their 1st goal. Ringwood then had another blinding shot on goal, Connor got a hand to it and pushed it away, Ringwood fought back and had another shot on goal which was cleared off of the line by Luis, a great bit of defending. Another goal was scored by Ringwood after 11 minutes bringing the score to 2-0. Christchurch then gained a free-kick for a handball, which did not amount to anything. There was some good teamwork played by Christchurch when Charlie chipped the ball into the box and Jack had a half chance of a goal. Charlie also had a shot on goal with a great pass from Mikey but to no avail. Alex was then subbed and Taryn made his debut for Christchurch and then Ringwood came back with another 2 goals making the half-time score 4-0.

The 2nd half started and Beau was subbed for Harry making his return to Christchurch , 5 minutes into the 2nd half Ringwood scored their 5th goal and Jack was subbed for Beau. Christchurch were then unlucky and Ringwood then went onto score a further 5 goals, 2 of these goals were made from quite a distance from the goal and Connor did his utmost to save them. Throughout the 2nd half all of the Christchurch team battled on and kept their heads up high, not giving up for a minute with excellent defending from Beau and Luis who worked really hard at the back.

Next week we have got Rossgarth and a chance to get our first points of the season

Christchurch v Mudeford Swans

Match Result: 1 - 1

Goal scorer: Edward C.

Man of the Match: Award to be shared for great team effort!

This was a crunch match. When Christchurch met Mudeford Swans on their ground in October 2009 they lost 0 – 4. The boys did not want a repeat performance.

The game started at a fast pace and it was end to end play from the whistle. Cam was on form. Within the first few minutes he had a number of chances on goal and was not far from putting Christchurch in the lead with both attempts. Ed then came into the attack and after only 5 minutes had a chance turned away by the goalie. Immediately after this attack Christchurch came back again and this time Ed scored. 1 – 0 to Christchurch.

Mudeford continued to attack and Ollie and Luke were strong in defence, chasing every ball to ensure that the goal mouth was not put under pressure. Mudeford had a chance on goal but James, heroically headed it away to safety. Jamie was confident in mid-field making sure that the opposition could not settle. Christchurch continued to keep the pressure on. Half way through the first half Tris made two substitutions. Jamie and Ed came off and Joel and Sunny came on.

Immediately Joel was into the attack and very nearly got a goal, it must have been those new boots he had for Christmas!! Sunny took over the role in midfield and he too ensured that Mudeford could not settle into a pattern and get the ball to their front “men”.

Cam almost made it 2 – 0 but he hit the post and the ball went out of play for a goal kick. Mudeford took the goal kick and unfortunately after a goal line scuffle in Christchurch’s penalty area, Mudeford scored to make it 1 – 1 just before half time.

Christchurch boys kept going.

The second half continued at the same fast pace, both teams playing end to end football. Both sides had opportunities. Bradley, in goal, had little to do in the first half but he came into his own in the second when Mudeford pressed for a winning goal. Further substitutions were made in the middle of the second half, with Joel and Sunny leaving the field and Ed and Jamie returning.

The last two minutes were frantic. Cam had another opportunity to clinch the winner with a kick that whistled across the goal mouth at one end and then Bradley saved at the near post at the other end.

The match finished 1 – 1. Well done boys, a great performance but you deserved the win!.

Mudeford Swans v Christchurch

Match Result: 4 - 0

Christchurch went into this game as league leaders. Mudeford were in second position, same points, but having played an extra game. It was a “must win” match.

The game started very lively with end to end action. Within the first few minutes James, playing in goal for the first time, made some excellent saves. Christchurch did, however, seem to take control of the game early on and Cam went very close to scoring in the sixth minute.

Gus, once again, was strong in defence and turned a defensive move into an attack. He was ablely supported by Sonny. After a sustained period of pressure from Christchurch when both Joel and Brad W had a number of attempts on goal, Mudeford broke out of their own half and attacked the Christchurch goal. Their number 4 came very close to scoring but Christchurch defended well. Unfortunately Christchurch did not get the ball completely away and as a result of some goal mouth confusion Mudeford scored against the run of play in the 19th minute.

The game had no sooner started again when a flighted ball into the Christchurch box was not dealt with and Mudeford went in at half time 2 – 0 up.

The second half started with Sonny in goal. He was immediately put under pressure and made an outstanding save. Mudeford had by this time grown in confidence, being 2 goals up and not playing particularly well. Ed joined attack and Jamie midfield. Paddy defended well but also took the opportunity to attack. His corner kicks gave Christchurch the chance to peg one back but the ball would not go into the net. Despite the efforts of Christchurch defence, Mudeford made it 3 – 0 five minutes into the second half.

The best chance for Christchurch came in the eighth minute when Paddy took a goal kick up to Brad who ran at the goal. He had two chances which were defended well and the ball came out to Luke but it was pushed wide for corner.

Further tactical changes were made mid-way through the second half but this was not enough to prevent Mudeford getting another goal. Christchurch kept going and late into the match Brad W was unlucky not to score. The game, however, ended 4 – 0 to Mudeford.

Never mind boys seven games and only one defeat. Revenge will be sweet at home later in the season.

Match Result: 3 - 4

Goal Scorers: Brad, Cameron, Luke, Ed.

MAN OF THE MATCH: JAMES

To date, this was the most important match of the season. A win would see Christchurch go top of the league.

Christchurch attacked from the start determined to win. After a flurry of attacking moves Christchurch took a 1 - 0 lead within 5 minutes of kick off. An athletic goal scored by Brad.

Burton did have some possession but were unable to progress out of their own half. After further attacking moves from Christchurch, Cameron made it 2 - 0 after 10 minutes. Christchurch could have made it 4 – 0 with a near miss by Ollie H. and a long range shot by Cameron.

With a 2 – 0 lead Christchurch did appear to take their foot of the pedal and Burton came into the game but were unable to get any shots on goal. James in defence, played with confidence and passed a long ball through to Brad who crossed into the penalty area. Ed had a shot at goal which was saved by the keeper and the rebound fell to Luke who “nutmegged” the goalkeeper to make it 3 – 0.

The last five minutes of the 1st half were nerve-racking. Burton came to life and had a number of shots on goal. Christchurch defence stood firm and with Breno Reis, in goal, making a number of fine saves.

Half time: 0 - 3

Burton started the second half as they had ended the first, attacking from the whistle. Breno denied Burton a goal after 2 minutes by toe-poking the ball round the post. Burton maintained the pressure and had a number of corners but were unable to get the ball in the goal. Christchurch did eventually attack and had their first corner of the second half after 5 minutes. Burton dealt effectively with this and broke from Christchurch’s half. Breno in goal had no chance and Burton scored to make it 3 – 1. Within a couple more minutes Burton had pegged the score back to 3 – 2 and Christchurch needed to take control again.

Seeing the opportunity of going top of the league slipping away, Christchurch knuckled down and with great teamwork made it 4 - 2 with a goal by Ed.

As in the first half, the last five minutes of the second half were nail- biting. It was end to end action and both teams had the opportunity to score goals and in fact Burton did score a third goal from a corner making it 4 – 3. Christchurch stuck to the task in hand and the defence stood firm to deny Burton the opportunity of getting near the goal.

The whistle went for full time, a 4 -3 win to Christchurch. Well done boys!! Top of the league!!

Full time: 3 - 4

Match Result: Christchurch 3 v New Milton Eagles 1

Goal Scorers: Cameron, Bradley W (2)

From the start the game was end to end. Brad’s first shot on goal was reacted to well by the goalie with a great save and from there on in both teams passed and tackled well. A near miss from a lovely cross by Paddy saw it ricochet off the side of Aiden’s head away from goal. Christchurch conceded the first corner of the match luckily ending in a goal kick. Both teams still evenly matched.

New Milton took a cracking shot on goal followed by a great save by Bradley. Angus took the goal kick and launched it up pass the halfway line to Paddy who passed to Brad one touch sent the ball flying into the left hand corner.

Half -time: Christchurch 1 – New Milton Eagles 0.

Christchurch started the second half off strongly with a great one two between Cameron and Josh followed by a great save by New Milton’s goalie. The second goal came from great teamwork between Brad, Josh and Cameron who saw the ball finally pushed over the line by Brad. Christchurch 2 – New Milton Eagle 0.

But Christchurch were soon caught napping as three New Milton players set off with the ball at their feet and no defence in sight. Paddy and Gus made a valiant effort to get back but to no avail Christchurch 2 – New Milton Eagles 1.

The final goal came from Josh passing to Cameron whose first shot was saved by the goalie but second follow up shot found the back of the net.

Full-time: Christchurch 3 – New Milton Eagles 1.

Match Result: Christchurch 9 v Everton 0

Goal Scorers: Paddy (3), Brad W (3), Josh (2), Joel.

Man of the Match: Patrick Cummins

The team came into this match full of enthusiasm after their first two games resulted in a draw and a win. Christchurch pressurised Everton from the start and within the first few minutes a cross from Paddy produced a chance at goal for Luke, this was closely followed by a fee kick taken by Paddy just outside the penalty box which skimmed the net, with Brad W also going close on a number of occasions. Everton did eventually put together an attack which produced a fine save from Brad C. The action soon returned to the other end of the field and after a number of strikes at goal from Paddy and Brad W, Christchurch took a corner which resulted in an Everton player handling the ball in the box, Paddy converted the resulting penalty. The boys maintained the pressure, a couple of substitutions saw Joel enter the play, shortly after he combined with Brad W down the sideline and forced the Everton goalkeeper into a brilliant save, however, from the corner Brad W made the score 2 - 0. Within minutes Brad W made it 3 - 0, although Everton did have their opportunities these were dealt with by James and Stephen, so successfully that Brad C had only his second touch of the match after 15 minutes making a fine save. In the last few minutes of the first half we scored again after Paddy found the net after an assist from Luke and then Joel showed good ball control and Paddy volleyed into the net for his hat trick to make it 5 - 0 at half time.

Half Time: Christchurch 5 v Everton 0

A number of changes were made for the second half bringing Josh into the attack alongside Joel and Brad W with Breno taking over in goal. From the start Christchurch maintained the pressure, Paddy passed from deep in the Christchurch half into the path of a running Brad W who took the chance well to score his hat trick goal and make it 6 - 0. Josh who had come on at half time was determined to make his mark and immediately joined the attack, this paid dividends as he scored a brilliant seventh goal. Further subs were made that saw Ed and Brad C come on and it was not until the tenth minute of the second half that Breno had anything to do, but when called upon he made fine save, pushing the ball round the post. From the goal kick firstly Joel, followed by Luke and finally Josh all had good attempts at goal before Josh secured his brace on his debut to make it 8 - 0. Even though there were only minutes left Christchurch continued forward with Joel determined to get into the action and though he was thwarted on a number of occasions his determination paid off and in the dying moments finally got the goal he deserved to make it 9 - 0.

Full Time: Christchurch 9 v Everton 0

CONGRATULATIONS BOYS!!!! 18 goals in three matches, keep up the good work.
