Just four weeks ago, the Tangerines had high hopes of reaching the play-off positions but a loss of form along with the loss of key players has put an end to those hopes and the poor run of form continued on Saturday when Uxbridge scored the only goal of a relatively even match. The goal…
Ashford made it through to the semi-final of the Southern Combination Cup last night by the slimmest of margins, winning 6-5 on penalties, following a 1-1 draw. This was the first time that Ashford had faced Abbey in a competitive match although there have been a number of friendlies in recent seasons. The Tangerines knew…
A somewhat patched up Ashford side gave their all at Marlow on Saturday against very strong opposition who had beaten Hayes & Yeading the previous week. In the end a solitary goal decided the matter in Marlow’s favour when, shortly after half-time, goalkeeper Tyler Tobin was unable to hold on to a high swirling corner…
We welcome everyone connected with Ware FC on Saturday for their first visit since February 2001, eighteen years ago. On that occasion we came out on top, by three goals to nil, courtesy of strikes by Anthony Eggington, Ian Yates and Scott Todd but the match that lingers in the writer’s memory is an away…
The disappointment from last Tuesday intensified for Ashford on Saturday, as, for the second match in a row, the Tangerines took the lead, only to be pegged back in the second half, conceding two goals in the process. Waltham Abbey were the eventual winners in a match where both halves were very different. Despite having…
On Saturday, Ashford have the final “longish” journey of the season when they make their way round the M25 to play Waltham Abby FC in what will only be their second occasion, the first being in season 2009-2010 when we were both in the Ryman League Premier Division. We managed to win that day by…
A determined and committed display brought no reward for Ashford on Tuesday evening as they slipped to a 1-2 defeat at Westfield, the winning goal coming from the hosts in the 94th minute of the match. Everyone agreed that this was a decent match, played at a fast pace throughout, probably too fast at times,…
Ashford remained unbeaten over the last three matches as they defeated Northwood by 2 goals to 1 on Saturday. On a glorious day for the time of the year both sides served up a far better match than had been the case the previous Saturday when neither Ashford nor Chipstead could find the net. The…
Middlesex County FA has made the draw for the semi-Finals of the Middlesex Charity Cup. Whoever wins out of Hanworth Villa and ourselves will be at home to Northwood. The other semi-final is between Hampton & Richmond Borough and Uxbridge
In the previous two matches between the clubs this season, one cup, one league, there had been a total of ten goals so it was typical of football that this one should end goalless. There was general agreement that this was not a classic match, which is something of an understatement. It was though full…
