Pirelli 1-7 Chandlers Ford

PIRELLI 1-7 CHANDLERS FORD
9.9.04 - FRIENDLY

CFY playing in their last pre-season friendly appeared to have saved their best performance till last. Playing with a back three and a deep sweeping midfield player, CFY looked stronger defensively.

Lee Robertson looked assured in goal and was commanding the defence well. The midfield were creating a lot of chances for the front men, and soon enough Chandlers Ford had taken the lead and opened the scoring through Ryan Chinn.

Trialist Liam Godfrey scored the second goal from the edge of the area and Ronan Galloway scored twice before half time to give Chandlers Ford a comfortable lead going into the second half.

HALF TIME – Pirelli 0-4 CFY

Pirelli got one back with a good strike, but it was no where near enough for them to get back into the game as CFY continued to dominate the match.

Sabri Elmasri made it 5 with a fine individual effort, and a further goal a piece from forwards Ryan Chinn and Ronan Galloway made it 7-1 at full time for a well-deserved victory.

Man of the match David Bromhead was outstanding at centre half.

Stubbington 6-6 Chandlers Ford

STUBBINGTON 6-6 CHANDLERS FORD
4.9.04 – FRIENDLY

In this goal packed game, tactics almost seemed to go out of the window as both teams frequently beat the offside trap and tried to out score each other.

An even first half saw the score at the interval three goals a piece, with Ronan Galloway helping himself to all three. Each time Stubbington lead and CFY equalised, and so it followed in the second half.

HALF TIME: Stubbington 3-3 CFY

Man of the match Ronan Galloway notched up another two goals to bring his tally to five goals for the match, an incredible performance. As the scores levelled at 5-5, there was ten minutes to go and the match got quite tense.

Ryan Chinn put Chandlers Ford ahead for the first time in the match with a lovely finish as he broke free from the Stubbington defenders and let fire. However just as CFY had thought they won Stubbington went down the other end of the park and equalised.
