and
Orlando Soundy
– who, by
guile and gag, weaved many a ball into the
correct net to secure three victories and two
draws, and one memorable ‘friendly’ win over
our very own third team. Only one match was
lost in the season.

5th IX
It was a mixed season for this
year’s 5th IX.
They lost by one goal against Moulsford,
Elstree 4ths and Cothill, they had emphatic
victories against Cheam and Lambrook,
and they lost 2-4 to a good Ludgrove side.
In the first three fixtures
James Scott
was captain and he scored four goals. This
led to his promotion to the 3rd IX.
Oliver
Crawford
came into the side for the last
four matches and he scored five goals in
total.
Jake Simpson
scored a hat-trick
against Cheam and two goals against
Lambrook. Sadly he was not fit for the last
three matches and he was sorely missed.
Rigby Swarovski Adams
came into the
side and crossed the ball well from the
right wing. By the end of the season an
established back three of
Teddy Barlow,
Samuel Akiode
and
Francis Frankopan
were reliable in defence. Behind them
Vadim Gurinov
in goal was also reliable
and made some spectacular saves. The
most regular players in midfield were
Hieronim Hodges
and
Fred Prickett
.
They, more than most, passed accurately
and tackled well.
Patrick Hannon
played a
number of games before being promoted
to Game Two. The season would have been
a better one if skilful players had passed
the ball more regularly rather than try to
dribble through the opposition.We also
missed too many goals when players failed
to convert simple chances into goals. Some
really good football was played but sadly it
was not sustained throughout all matches.

6th IX
A successful year for the 6th
IX who, from a coaching point
of view, made rather hard work
of things during the week’s
practice then would pull it out
of the bag for a match.
If you want to impress a coach, give
it the whole nine yards every time. A
few key people managed to do this and
consequently stood out sharply.
Jinsung
Ha
was an unflappable right back and
made a good pairing with
Salman Al
Saud
. Both gave the attacking opposition
a hard time, often winning the ball back
to set up the next attacking manoeuvre.
Anton Shashenkov
flitted from forward to
midfield then settled in his left field position
and remained a positive presence.
Henry
Minter
, promoted to the team mid-season,
managed to fill a hole in the backs and
played an offensive role, complementing
nicely Shashenkov’s more direct attacking
style.
Rory Millard
, who was also promoted
last minute, fortuitously stepped into
Minter’s boots for the final match versus
Cothill, with a faultless performance!
Temi Balogun
was awkward to position.
Naturally a forward, he would hold the ball
a little too long, but started to make real
strides – passing with more thought and
“If you want to
impress a coach,
give it the whole
nine yards
every time”
