Hordle started the game on a positive note and forged forward and aimed a shot at goal which was stopped from going in by a great save from Connor. This was then repeated once again by another blinding shot from Hordle, passed to their striker across the goal and knocked out by Connor. Hordle then carried on keeping up the pressure with two more attempts at goal, one resulting in hitting the woodwork. All of Hordle's efforts were then rewarded when they opened the score line with a goal 1-0.
Christchurch then came back with a positive surge up the pitch and there was some good teamwork between Mikey and Charlie but to no avail. Hordle then came back with a good shot on goal and Connor got a hand to it and tipped it over the bar, another great save! Christchurch continued to carry on with some good defending from Jack, Beau and Luis at the back keeping the score line at 1-0 at half-time.

Christchurch seemed to start the second half on a positive note and seemed to be fired up but Hordle appeared to be the stronger team within the second half as they were able to score a goal 2 minutes into the half bringing the score line to 2-0. Lewis then had a great shot on goal helped out by Taryn, Luis and Harry but was just wide, a good effort though. Alex, Mikey continued to battle on in midfield but Hordle were able to again extend their lead to 3-0. Hordle were then successful in scoring their end goal making the score line 4-0.

Even though Hordle were the winning team, Christchurch kept on battling until the final whistle, unlucky boys look forward to playing next week and increasing our points.

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
