Youth Section Trials

Carshalton FC are looking for new boys to trial for their established teams in 2008/09 at the following age groups - U14s, U12s, U11s and U10s. Trials are held on Saturday 10 & 17 May at the clubhouse, Beddington Park, Wallington from 10am to 11.30am.

We ask anyone interested to pre register by emailing us at carshaltonfc@hotmail.com.

13 Apr 2008 - Weekend Review - great effort by the U11s who played away against the league champions with only 9 boys and only lost 0-3. A really great effort. The U13s set up a thrilling last game of the season with a comfortable 2-0 win over Redbrick thanks to a strike in each half from Simon. Win that last game on 27 April and we are league Champions.

13 Apr 2008 - Wellertown Gig - an astonishingly poor turnout by Club members - only 4 (four) playing members turned up - 1 from the 4s and 3 from the 7s. All those who moan about a lack of events and pontificate about how to generate more revenue and improve the social side of the club should rightly feel ashamed of themselves. Because of the lack of bar revenue and the loss made on this and other events this season, subs will naturally increase next season significantly. Don't anyone complain. Special mention to those who promised they were coming - even on the day - but did not bother to turn up.

As it was, the band were absolutely fantastic. Thanks to the youth section parents and a number of friends we had enough to make it a good evening. Massive thanks to the band who played as if they were in front of thousands. Awesome.

After 20 years at the Carshalton FC, this is my last involvement with the senior section of the Club. I intend to continue helping to run the youth section, as we have fantastic support from this part of the membership. You need to find a new web site manager and Club Development Officer for next season. I can't express just how angry and let down I feel, especially by certain members - they know who they are.

7 Apr 2008 - Weekend Review - the 6s bid for SAL Cup glory ended at the final hurdle when a very strong Winchmore Hill team ran out 7-1 winners in the final. Credit to Matt and his boys for reaching the final, but Winchmore Hill showed what a difference it makes playing 2 divisions higher every week.

Despite a sublime 25-yard strike midway through the first half from skipper Dave Tilley, BB Eagles fought back to grab an extremely contentious equaliser with the very last kick before the break. Then, in an end-to-end second half, and after Richard Webb's spot kick had been saved, BB Eagles went on to score the winner, a goal that is likely to see them avoid relegation to Division 3. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Paul Pearce who was taken by ambulance to hospital after a head injury.

The 2s' still need a point to win the Division 1 title after a 1-4 defeat at Old Owens. The final game is this Saturday at HSBC. The 3s look certainties for promotion now - 1 point to make certain from their final 3 games. 2 wins will guarantee them the title.

The 5s gave league leaders Polytechnic 5s a run for their money before going down 1-3 and now need 1 win from 2 games to avoid relegation. The travel to bottom of the table South Bank CUACO this Saturday.

The 7s all but sealed their place in Division 5 South with a thrilling 5-4 win at HSBC 6s. Only a couple of freak scorelines can see them relegated now with one game to go. The 8s lost 0-8 at home to Kew, and travel this weekend to face the same opposition!! The Vets battled hard but lost 2-5 to a combined Kew Park Rangers / Maori "select" team.

On Sunday, all games were lost to the weather.

31 Mar 2008 - Club Dinner - well done to everyone who attended and worked so hard to put on this year's excellent Club Dinner. Special mention to Trevor Boughton for taking on the organisation, Neil Backers and the others who sorted out tables and chairs etc, and to Matt Wigham, Dave Tilley and Dennis Philpott for providing the entertainment during the evening. Detailed report with pictures will be available later this week.

31 Mar 2008 - Cup Finals - best wishes to Matt Boyman's 6s for their SAL Cup final this Saturday (5 April) at BB Eagles ground (3pm KO) against Winchmore Hill.

Dave Jenvey's 5s now know that they will face Old Actonians in their SAL Cup final on 19 April at Old Salesians ground in Ewell (KO 3pm). We wish them well in their quest for silverware.

31 Mar 2008 - Weekend Review - the 2s' win at Old Actonians coupled with Nottsborough's defeat at West Wickham means that the 2s need 1 point from their final 2 games to win the Division 1 title. Their final games are at Old Owens next week and at HSBC the following week.

The 3s suffered a post Club Dinner hangover, only drawing at lowly Bank of England. However, despite these 2 dropped points, they are still in pole position to win the Division 2 title.

The 5s had a very important 3-2 win at Ibis, which means they need one win from their final 3 games to stay up. The 6s lost to runaway leaders Alleyn Old Boys by the odd goal in 7, but other results meant that they secured promotion. The 7s romped to a 7-1 win over Old Wilsonians to raise them out of the relegation places with 2 games to go.

On Sunday there was a win for the U11s, a draw for the U10s, while the U13s lost in the league for the first time - they will however be wondering how they ended up losing 1-2.

31 Mar 2008 - Paul Pearce - congratulations to Paul Pearce who represented the SAL in the Bank of England centenary fixture on Sunday.

17 Mar 2008 - 4s Are Champions - well done to Ben Doherty and his boys for winning Minor Section Division 2 South - a feat all the more remarkable as they lost their first two games of the season 2-5 and 1-4!!! Talk about making it difficult for yourselves. Ben's match report for this week contains a player summary as well as the actual match report. Hope to see you all at the Club Dinner.

17 Mar 2008 - Weekend Review - quite a return to form for all the teams this week. After four consecutive defeats on their travels, and again much depleted due to their lengthening injury list, the 1s returned to winning ways with a deserved victory over H.S.B.C at Beddington Park. Having fallen behind to a goal on the stroke of half time, Jon Phillips found the all-important equaliser on 56 minutes, before ten minutes later he put his team ahead with his second of the contest. The result was put beyond doubt five minutes from time when Paul Pearce cleverly outwitted the visitors' keeper to slide home from close-range.

The 2s had a morale boosting 4-2 win at Civil Service to remain top of Division 1, thanks in no small part to a hattrick from Martin Vincent. Their main challengers Nottsborough drew to bottom of the table Old Wilsonians to bring Chris Tilley's side level on points with a game in hand with only 3 games to play.

The 3s 3-1 win at West Wickham gives Tony Edward's team a 6 point gap over Kew Association at the top of Division 2 and 2 wins out of the final 5 games will guarantee promotion.

Many congratulations to Ben Doherty and his 4s who clinched the Minor Section Division 2 South league title with an emphatic 7-0 win over Polytechnic. Congratulations also to young Andy Bitmead who passed the 30 goal mark in the game.

The 5s had a very disappointing result going down 1-3 at home to Old Actonians and the probably need a couple of wins from their last games to avoid relegation. Recent form suggests that is more than a possibility. Let's hope Saturday was just a blip.

The 6s need 3 wins from 4 games to be absolutely sure of promotion, though a win this coming Saturday over main rivals Weirside Rangers would mean only one further win would be required.

The 7s game with Old Actonians was postponed as Actonians could not make the early kick off time. The 8s won convincingly at Bank of England, as did the Vets at Polytechnic.

On Sunday the U11s recorded a 6-0 win with a hattrick from Sam, while the U9s lost by the only goal of the game at Junior Bees.

8 Mar 2008 - SAL Representative Game - due to the Arthurian League being unable to raise a side, the planned SAL Representative game scheduled for Beddington Park on 12th March has been cancelled. We'd like to thank all those club members who put in so much time and effort in preparing for this game and hope that the money we invested in this fixture can be used in future such games we may be awarded.

4 Mar 2008 - SAL Cup Final Updates - following their semi final success over Civil Service at the weekend, the 5s are still waiting to discover their opponents in the final. HSBC and Old Actonians are scheduled to play in the other semi final on 22 March, but this is pending an appeal from Winchmore Hill who were disqualified from the competition after allegedly fielding an ineligible player. The final is at Old Salesians ground in Ewell and is scheduled for either 12 or 19 April. We'll inform you of developments.

The situation is a lot clearer for the 6s who face Winchmore Hill on 5 April at BB Eagles ground.

4 Mar 2008 - SAL Cup Final at Beddington Park - following a change of date by the AFA, Carshalton FC can no longer host the AFA Surrey & Kent Senior Cup Final, as it clashes with Old Sweats Day which has been planned for months. However, we have instead been awarded the SAL Minor Cup Final between Nottsborough and Old Actonians on Saturday 29 March. We know our members will rise to the challenge and provide a warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of both clubs.

4 Mar 2008 - Club Members Night - well done to those who supported the members night. Quite an education for some. Don't worry lads, what happens at the club, stays at the club... unless of course I am bribed with sufficient Stellas! Well done to Wol and HMS for their hard work in putting the event on. Pity there weren't more actual club members there.

27 Feb 2008 - A Referee's View - last Saturday I refereed our 4s v Kew Association 4s. It was a spirited game and a lot closer contested than the 4-0 scoreline would suggest. During the game, one of Kew's players, somewhat suffering from the previous night's exertions, walked to the side of the pitch and proceeded to double over on his hands and knees emptying his body of the offending liquid. I won't embarrass the Carshalton player who asked me to stop the game "because that geezer is praying to Mecca. Is he allowed to leave the pitch for that?"!

Well done to Kew's players for hanging round in the bar and engaging the referee in a bit of banter. Nice to see the SAL spirit survives. I still put the booking through though!! - Buzz

24 Feb 2008 - Weekend Review - astonishingly the senior squad had to cope with 15 - yes fifteen players being unavailable on Saturday. Well done to everyone who rallied round to ensure we were able to fulfill our fixtures in these extraordinary circumstances. Not surprisingly the 1s lost, but given the circumstances (including Wol's debut in goal for the 1s), 0-3 was not a disaster. The 2s pulled off a great result in grabbing a point at E.B.O.G to maintain their 3 point gap at the top of the table. The 4s and 5s both had excellent, crucial wins (Mike Bailie's brilliant hattrick for the 4s being the standout performance of the day). The 5s win takes them out of the relegation places. The 7s managed to come back from 1-4 down to draw 4-4 with a scratch side out - including Charlie Sinclair in goal and Terry Cave senior defying age and gravity to make a remarkable comeback for the club.

Unfortunately both the 3s and 6s lost their semi finals. The 3s were 3-2 up in extra time, but lost late goals to lose 3-7 at Old Finchleians. At Beddington Park, the 6s were defeated 0-2 in extra time - the last goal coming with the last kick of the game - by a strong Old Wilsonians outfit who belied their league position and have improved since playing our 7s earlier in the league.

On Sunday the U11s went down in a close game at Epsom, while the U10s and U13s had good wins. Special congratulations to the U9s who had a morale boosting 1-1 draw at AC Fulham. Well done to Neil, Phil and their boys.

21 Feb 2008 - Weekend Review - the 1s lost on their league travels for the first time this season, going down to fellow promotion hopefuls E.B.O.G on an extremely testing playing surface at Alan Drive following the drainage works undertaken during the summer. Indeed, an injury sustained by Jon Biggle, which resulted in him having to withdraw from the action in the second half was clearly down to the condition of the pitch. The worry is that Biggle is likely now to join the team's other long term casualties, Bill Tilley and Adam Fisk, on the sidelines for the remainder of the season.

The other results were much better. The 3s continue to march on at the top of Division 2. Their win over HSBC stretches the gap at the top to 8 points. The 4s win over HSBC keeps them in second place. Andy Bitmead's 4 goals takes him 7 clear in the race for the Golden Boot. The 5s had another encouraging result, but were gutted to concede 2 goals in the last 3 minutes to drop 2 points, and therefore missed the chance to move off the foot of the table. The 6s win over fellow promotion candidates Kew Association puts them firmly in the promotion places. Rick Morris came into goalscoring form with a hattrick at just the right time for the cup semi final this Saturday. And there was an encouraging win for the 7s, their first since mid November.

On Sunday the U10s had a bad day at the office at Hampton Youth and will be looking for significant improvements when these teams face each other in the Invitational Cup semi final in 3 weeks time. The U13s overcame a slow start (2-2 10 minutes into the second half) to run out 11-3 winners over Kingstonian Youth in the league.
