2003-2004 Managers Review of the Season

Under 14's Review of the Season
The season started on the backfoot by losing the cup game followed by 4 leagues. From then on it was an uphill battle but all credit to the Cavaliers for not giving up and were eventually rewarded withy a few well earned victories. Overall it was a up and down season in division 2 finishing 8th which was a little disappointing but overal ok considering the start the boys had. The boys seem to have enjoyed the season despite the results and are looking forward not back. In the tournaments getting to 4 semi finals 3 quarter finals although disappointing not winning anything was enjoyable to do so well. The boys have a bright future together next season which all concerned with the new additions to the side look good. I just want to thank everyone, parents, supporters fpr their help all season, Chris O'riordan , Mick Woodhall and Ade Luttman for their help with training and match day support. Most of all the players for all their hard work and loyalty throughout the season.
Thankyou and may the future be more brighter and successful for all within the Cavaliers.

18th July - Barton Rovers Annual 6-aside Tournament 2004

For the 3rd tournament in a row the Cavaliers missed out by losing in the semi final 1- 0 . In a tight tough group the Cavaliers drew 3 losed 1 and won 1 but sadly again missed out on a close but no cigar tournament summer.
Matt Eagles and Phil partridge had good games and kept the Cavaliers in the tournament. Tom Collard with his 9th goal in 4 tournaments and Troy Whelan scoring his 15th of the season helped the Cavaliers through but lossed out yet again when it really mattered.
At the end of the day the boys had enjoyed themselves but wanted something for their efforts but were again disappointed.

The 2nd game against Camberley Town we came from 1 - 0 down to draw 1-1 with a fine equaliser free kick from phil Partridge.

It was all set up for the last game against another Sandhurst team all we had to do was win the game and we would win the tournament and all they had to do was draw. We had to gamble as time was running out and Sandhurst caught us on the break and just before the end as we were pushing forward caught us again. In goal Oliver Davidson was big and strong through-out the tournament. Everyone all over the pitch performed well and there was no man of the match as the whole team desreved the award. We had 1 casulalty matt Wallis who suffered with an injury and damaged his knee ligaments. The team have earned a trophy which will be displayed in the trophy cabinet at the club house.

A disastorous day that did not start too good half the team including myself were late for a 12pm k/o we arrive 12.20pm but the manager was very good and patient. So in the high winds and not reallly much match preparation we started the game and looked to settle down and created a few early chances that went wayward. It was not until 20 minutes into the game when Liphook scored when they muscled their way thorugh the Cavaliers defence. From then on Liphook looked more like they wanted the game more then us and in a very physical battled Liphook came out on top scoring 2 more times. A 3 - 0 down at half time the Cavaliers once again were up against it and were caught on the break early on and Liphook scotred 2 times in 5 minutes. At 5 - 0 down and 20 minutes to go the Cavaliers started to stand up for themselves and Dan Money, Matt Wallis and Cory Smith all winning personel battles in midfield. Sure enough the Cavaliers scored with a close range effort from Caleb Muirimi and Minutes later Jessie Dagdag added to the score. The momentum was with the Cavaliers but time seem to run out alot quicker then the refs watch who blew 6 minutes too ealry but stood by his decision.

For the 1st 15 minutes the Cavaliers dominated the attacking play but with no end product for their efforts. It was Heath End who struck 1st catching the cavalier defence out and scoring . 5 minutes later Heath end countered and scored yet again. This time the Cavaliers pushed on and after a spell of pressure Phil Partridge fired home from close range. once again the Cavaliers dominated the attacking with jessie dagdag and Adam newell both coming very close but were denied by some good keeping. A killer blow happened just before half time with Heath End yet again scoring on the counter. At 3-1 down the Cavaliers had an uphill struggle but bounced back when Jack grisman found a through ball supplying Cory Smith who scoring a very good goal. At 3 -2 Heath End looked rattled and on the back foot. Sure enough the Cavaliers scored the equaliser mid way through the 2nd half with a fine solo effort from Jessie Dagdag running in to the box beating the last man and the goal keeper brought down Jessie who then steppped up and scored. ( in some people opinions fouling the last man usually is a stright red card but that did not happen. just when the Cavaliers had gallently pulled the score level Heath End scored to go 4 -3 up. This seem to deflate the Cavaliers and conceeded 2 more by full time. A great come back but in football you have to play to the final whistle and this is what we did not do today.

On a rough pitch in very windy conditions Lightwater scored after 7 minutes but it was the Cavaliers who had most of the attacking play through Liam on the right wing, Adam in central and Chris W in attack. Several golden chances were created by the Cavaliers but were denied by good goalkeeping and shots passing just wide. Lightwater attacked by use of their goalkeepers big kicks putting the Cavaliers defence under immediate pressure. Lee, Phil , Dane and Matt E all worked very hard. At 1 - 0 down at half time the Cavaliers continued in the same manner by creating chances left via jessie and Right via Liam, chances fell to Adam, Matt W, Rhys, Liam, Chris, Cory, and Troy but the finishing was poor and no goals were scored. Lightwater broke catching the Cavaliers defence off guard and scoring to go 2 - 0 up. The Cavaliers reacted well and won a frekick which Phil struck well from which the Lightwater keeper could not handle and the ball came out to Adam who scored from close range. The story of the match was that we had hatfuls of golden oppotunties but did not take them. That is the difference at the moment between us winning and losing. Lightwater caught out the Cavaliers in the last few minutes with 2 breakaway goals to make the final score 4 - 1.

This was an exciting game of football between 2 local rivals, yet again we had a lot of possession around the Celtics box but not a lot of shots on goal.There was plenty of effort and hardwork all over the pitch from the Cavaliers but lack of match fitness was beginning to show being that this was the 1st game back since Xmas. A few changes were made with Matt E playing up front and doing very well, Matt W in defence also doing very well, with no jessie , Rhys played very well down the left hand side. A few injury worries did not help the situation James (Leg), Dane (groin), Cory(knee), and Phil (Back) despite their injuries they allp layed there part in this closely though match. Early mistakes found ourselves chasing the game 2 - 0 down, we did score back through Jack but so did Celt
and at 3-1 down the game was an up hill struggle. Celtic soon scored again to make it 4- -1 but a fine strike from Jack scored to make the score 2 - 4 and then Caleb scored to make the score 3 - 4 making the final 10 minutes very tense.
Final score - 3 - 4 to Bracknell Celtic.

Another chance from Liam from a free kick saw a Lightwater player clear the ball off the line. The game was close with both both sides looking to find an opening but it was Lightwater who did , after a goal mouth scramble managed to scuff the ball into the Cavaliers net. This did not deter the Cavaliers and came close to scoring the winnerwith efforts from Jessie, Troy and Adam all going close. In the dying minutes James made a great save to deny Lightwater a winner. It was a close, tense game with both teams looking like they could win it but the points today were shared.
We played well today all over the pitch showing great team-work, hard-work and determination. At times the passing was excellent and the tackles were spot on.

2nd November - Badshot Lea (A) 4 - 1 (L) League

Badshot Lea Knights 4 Bracknell Cavaliers FC 1 6th League Game.

This Match and its result are in dispute with the league officials and the decision on the dispute has not been decided.

Against an unbeaten Badshot Lea side the Cavaliers were put under pressure early on and thanks to some last ditch defending denied Badshot of an early goal. Badshot did not take the lead until after 11 minutes catching the Cavaliers defence a sleep and allowing a player to turn in the box and shoot into an empty net from close range. As the game went on we had to play agasinst some very questionable decisions from the referee and the linesman. The Cavaliers got their deserved equalisedafter a spell of pressure from which Cory coolly slotted the ball home leaving the badshot keeper no chance in no-mans land. In the 2nd half the referees poor decisions started to have an effect on the game and our players, the final result was 4 - 1 but the score line flattered Badshot and did not show how hard the Cavaliers played. The whole team played their hearts out and did not deserve to have lost 1 - 4 .

Manor Colts 1 Bracknell Cavaliers 4 - 5th League Match

In the 1st half the Cavaliers struggled to find any consisitancy or shape. Only the odd breakthrough and attack only to see the ball fired wide or into the keepers arms. With very little play from the Cavaliers in Midfield Manor Colts took advandtage and create several openings only to be denied by stand-in keeper Matt Wallis. A clumsy tackle by Tom Conway in defence for the Cavaliers gave manor Colts a penalty from which they scored. 1 - 0 down at half time changes had to be made but with 5 players missing from the usual squad this was not easy. In the 2nd half we pulled our socks up and with an inspirational performance from sub Jack Grisman changed the course of the game with a fine goal for the equaliser then setting up Caleb Muirimi for the 2nd goal. The Cavaliers were now completely dominating with chances falling to Rhys Cunningham, Cory Smith, Dan Money, and Troy Whelan who rattled the post with his fine effort. The Cavaliers third came from Liam walter who created his own space and fired home a shot with venom which the keeper injured himself trying to save.

28th September - Haslemere Town (H) 0 - 1 (L) - League Game

Bracknell Cavaliers 0 Haslemere Town 1
This was a very close game against strong opposition in which the Cavaliers raised their game, from James O'riordan in goal to the defence, midfield and lone front runner Jack Grisman the whole team worked very hardnot only frustrating Haslemere but creating attacking chances also. The 2nd half followed in the same pattern as the 1st even when changes in players were made we still looked very strong and threatening. The only goal of the game came from a Haslemere player just thumping the ball high and up the pitch and to everyones surprise the ball hit the post and went in. This did not deter us and we showed great character pushing forward for the equaliser and came very close when Liam Walter hit the post and Caleb Muirimi also had chances in the dying minutes and was unlucky not score. Overall a good game was played, the Cavaliers showed great stength and depth within the team with all 16 players playing well.

Cavaliers Man of the Match : James O'riordan - showing great confidence and commanded his area very well.

2nd League Game.
Bracknell Celtic 2 Bracknell Cavaliers 0

The 1st half saw the Cavaliers having more then our fair share of defending to do, but the back 4 of Lee Woodhall, Matt Eagles, Phil Partridge and Dane Marshall were all on top form not letting Celtic through. Adam Newell up front was also showing a lot of hardwork and running but with little service from the midfield Adam had nothing to show for his efforts. At times in the 1st half we left a lot a of space in the midfield for Celtic to take advantage of. The 2nd half the Cavaliers came out more positively with Cory Smith and Matt Wallis both showing great determination and attitude. After a great spell of pressure by the Cavaliers a corner was won which Jessie Dagdag crossed over and a Celtic player handled in the area to give the Cavaliers a penalty. From which Phil Partridge blasted at the goal and the Celtic keeper made a fine save which rebounded out only to see Jack Grisman fired wide of the post. Under hot conditions and a rough pitch both sides were looking tired and it was a battle to see who could last the longest. With only minutes to go Lee Woodhall and matt Wallis both picked up injuries and Celtic found themselves an opprtunity to score in the dying minute abd did so. A mnute later into injury time Celtic scored a 2nd. This game was a tight game that both sides deserved something from but football can be a cruel game sometimes which it proved to be today. The 2 -0 scoreline did not reflect on how hard the Cavaliers worked through-out the game.

Bracknell Cavaliers 2 Ascot utd Royals 6

A good strong start to the game with the Cavaliers having plenty of possession and from a well taken corner by Cory Smith in the 7th Minute Phil Partridge connected with a fine flick headerwhich went into the net. It was a close game with opportunities to be had at both ends but it was not until the 25th minute when Ascot won a free kick on the edge of the box from which a fine taken free kick flew into the corner of the goal to level the score. Minutes later due to a lack of concentration within the Cavaliers saw Ascot break and scoreto go 1- 2 up. The score could have been different when a long range freekick taken by Phil Partridge curved and dipped only to hit the underside of the cross-bar onto the goal line and somehow Ascot cleared the ball away. In hot conditions the 2nd half lack of match fitness began to show and within a minute of the start Ascot caught the Cavaliers defence a sleep and scored. At 1 - 3 down the Cavaliers looked jaded and beaten. During the next 15 minutes Ascot had most of the possession and added 2 more goals to go 1 5 up. Through grit and determination the Cavaliers tried to push the game to Ascot and Caleb Muirimi grabbed a late goal with a fine solo finish. Ascot added a 6th deep into injury time to make the final score 2 - 6. Ascot were a good team and a 'big team ' in hot dry conditions at Braybrooke we matched them 1st half but found our selves struggling 2nd half.
