Chandlers Ford 10-1 Waltham Wolves

CHANDLERS FORD 10-1 WALTHAM WOLVES

12.3.05 – FRIENDLY

Chandlers Ford having won promotion from the ‘B’ League last week came up against a side that are struggling at the foot of the A League table – Waltham Wolves in this friendly match that didn’t end up to be so friendly.

A near to full strength squad available for the home side with just a few players missing gave them the extra advantage against their opponents who only had a bare 10 players!

The first half was extremely one-sided as CFY dominated possession from start to finish and created a number of decent chances. Jozef Montigue came on mid way through the half and almost made an immediate impact as his cheeky flick from 12 yards came back off the cross bar.

Reece Middleton broke the deadlock late into the half with a good one-two with Liam Godfrey before firing the ball past the keeper. Jozef Montigue made it 2-0 when he sprinted past the Waltham defenders and neatly fired the ball into the bottom corner of the net out of the reach of the goalkeeper.

HALF TIME – CFY 2-0 Waltham Wolves

In the second half Waltham Wolves won a corner early on, and the from it the ball was scrambled over the line despite the efforts of the Chandlers Ford defenders on the goal line to make the scoreline a little tighter, 2-1.

These only encouraged the home side to start playing their football again and just like the first half Waltham Wolves were camped inside their own half for long periods of the game.

Reece Middleton had a great match and he continued his goalscoring form by completing a second half hat trick to give him a total of four goals for the game.
Jozef Montigue found the back of the net to grab his second of the game when Reece Middleton unselfishly played the ball across to Joe who had an easy finish to make the score 6-1.

Ronan Galloway let fly with a brilliant strike from outside the area, which rocketed into the top corner of the Waltham goal leaving the keeper with no chance. 7-1. Next a great move from the home side involving Middleton and Montigue in the build up set up Captain Sabri Elmasri who scored a great goal from a tight angle to increase the lead to 8-1.

The goals just kept coming for Chandlers Ford in this very eventful second half. Next up was Matt Lucas who slotted home a penalty after Montigue was shoved down in the box to grab the ninth goal for CFY. Following this goal Montigue and the Waltham Wolves defender who were both involved in the incident prior to the penalty again clashed which resulted in both players being removed from the pitch.

In the dieing minutes David Phillips popped up from defence as the home side continued to pile on the pressure right to the very end, and he poked the ball home from close range to grab his fourth goal of the season and to complete the rout.
