As the score suggests this was a very close game, a derby game with both teams fighting hard for the win.

The Trojans opened up with good possesion, passing the ball around well, wining the ball in midfield and pressing the Camberley defence. This resulted in a excellent chance for Matt Murphy who broke free down the left flank and rifled a shot from the edge of the box which was well saved by the keeper. Camberley then started to come back into the game, pressig hard on the Trojans  to win the ball. This stated to work  with the Trojans giving away the ball, Camberley broke quickly down their right wing, the ball passed back onto the edge of the penalty box and finished well by one of their mdifield players. The Trojans struck back befor the half ended, when Luke Gaskell got the ball down the right side, got free of his marker and hit a ow hard shot past the keepers near post. 1-1 at half time.

The 2nd hald was the same as the 1st, ver close with both teams getting chances. The Trojans had a little more possesion but could not get through a tough Camberley defence. The breakthrough came for the Trojans from  a corner on the left side the ball bounced in the area and Dyaln Hooper reacted quicker than anybody else and smashed the ball into the roof of the net.  Camberley has a few chances to level the score late on but couldn't  finish them off.

Although this was a very competeitive game it was played in the right spirit, two teams working hard for the win with few fouls being made.

A very slow start to the game by the Trojans against avery good Petersfield team led to the Trojans being down 3-0 by the 15 min mark and 4-0 by half time. Petersfield came out fast , pressing the ball and  tackling strongly. The Trojans kept on giving the ball away and cleared poorly from defence. This led to the CPR team being under pressure and eventually giving away the 1st goal with some sloopy defending. This galvanised Petersfield even further who added two more in the next ten minutes. The Trojans started to gain more possesion before the end of the half but could not pull back the deficit.

The 2nd half was a more even contest with the Trojans managing to gain more possesion in midfield and press the Petersfield defence. With the Trojans pressing forward Petersfield caught the away side on the break and added a 5th goal. The game flowed from end to end, the Trojans attacked down their right wing, good passing between Sam Mills, Matt Varns and Ryan Blake led to Ryan having a shot from outside the area, the ball hitting the crossbar and Dylan Hooper on hand to head in the rebound. Petersfield got their 6th near the end of the game to finish off a very good display.

Trojans man of the match was Harry Mills.

After a hard fought semi final the Trojans progress to the final with a 1-0 win.  In the first ten minutes the Trojans were second best, Bourne were quicker to the ball and stronger in the tackle. from this they produced a number of attacks and a number of fine saves from Ryan Morrison in the Trojans goal. The Trojans then secured more possesion, passing the ball and creating chances. Most of the last ten minutes was played in the Bourne half with with occasional break by the visitors. The half ended 0-0, a fair score so far.

Both teams came out very committted in the second half, a fast physical game continued with both teams having clear chances on goal but neither taking their opportunities. Bourne were playing the long ball where as the Trojans used more passing through the midfield, using the wide areas and passes through the Bourne defence. The only goal of the game midway through the half, the ball played in from the Trojans right wing and Callum Morris on hand six yards out to calmly pass the ball into the net. The game went from end to end, more chances for both sides, missed shots and good goalkkeeping keeping it at 1-0. Bourne pressed hard in the last five minutes but could not get passed a resolute defence and an outstanding goalkeeping display by Ryan. A very competitive game ended with the Trojans coming out on top.

Man of the Match - Ryan Morrison.

This was the first game in two months for both teams and so could of been an error riddled game. That could not have been further from the truth. The game was played at a high pace with a high standard of football played.

The Trojans dominated the first ten minutes, controlling the midfiled areas and passing the ball around well, particularly down the left side. This created a number of opportuntites in the Crookham area and had it not been for some excellent defending by the visitors the Trojans would have pushed into the lead. After about 10 minutes Crookham started to get into the game, more possesion pushing into the Trojans half, no real pressure on goal but got a corner on the left side of the Trojans goal. A well taken corner, not cleared properly, the ball bounced in the centre of the six yards box and the Crookham player reacting quicker, hitting the ball into the roof of the net. For the rest of the half Crookham were pushing the Trojans hard, not allowing the home team any time or a great deal of possesion. Halftime and 1-0 to Crookham.

The Trojans presssed more in the 2nd half, enjoying more posession. The ball was being passed quickly, more chances were created, more misses and saves by the Crookham keeper. Crookham were still dangerous on the counter attack, long balls over the top of which the Trojans defence and keeper coped with, some last ditch tackles were needed. Louie Gilpin eventually got the home team level with some lovely skill and fantastic finish. Both teams had chances before the end of normal time but 1-1 after 60 mins and extra time was needed.

Ten minutes each way again saw both teams create chances, no more goals and onto penalties. Crookham came out on top 5-4 on penaties, well done to them and good luck in the final.

A fantastic fgame or U11s, well done to all the players and thank you to the officials and spectators for helping to make it a great match.

The Trojans entertained Fordingbridge Town in the quarter final of the Hampshire Cup with the Trojans coming out 2-1 winners in a hard fought win.

Fordingbridge had travelled up from the New Forest and immedialtely from kick off went on the offensive, their tall striker went around three players before he came up against the defensive midfield of the Trojans. The ball then snapped between the sides until the Trojans mounted an attack, the ball being played about nicely until it was in the opponents area. After a couple of blocked shots Louie Gilpin made it 1-0 with a stike from the six yard line in the 3rd minute. For the remainder of the half the Trojans dominated possesion, quick flowing passes lead to a number of chances on goal, Louie , Callum Morris and Matt Murphy all getting in on the goalkeepr who either pulled off good saves or pressured the attacker and the ball went wide. The Trojans defence cleared anything that went their way in this period with only a couple of balls getting through to Matt Lowe in goal.

Fordingbridge got the perfect start in the 2nd half, a strong fast attack down their right, a cross into the area, the ball held up in the  area and the Fordingbridge striker reacted the fastest to poke the ball into the goal. For the next 10 mins the Trojans were put under pressure with Fordingbridge pressing forward. The Trojans kept thier shape and slowly won more ball back in the midfield, this led to a number of attacks down both wings, more shots on goal, with saves misses and corners but no goals. The pace of the game was high with plenty of tough tackling from both sides. In the 45th minute the Trojans were awarded a free kick just outside the area on the left wing. Harry Kearsley swung a great cross towards the penalty spot, Callum got his head to it and guided it into the far corner. Fordingbridge never stopped pressing and trying, end to end football for the last 15 mins with the Trojans coming out on top 2-1.

Player of the week - Conor Murphy, well done Conor.

The 3rd round of the Hamspshire Cup saw AFC Dynamo travel up from Gosport. Playing at Connaught for the first time this season the Trojans took control of the game from the off. The bigger pitch suited the home team, their quick passing and movement gave the Dynamo team little opportunity to win and retain possesion.

This eventually resulted in Dynamo scoring a goal from their right wing, a well taken shot into the far corner.

The Trojans came up against a Premiership side in round 3 of the League Cup. Crookham were unbeaten since the opening game of the season and would be a stiff challenge for the home side. The Trojans got into their stride quickly, pressing the opposition when not in possession. The midfield and defence stopped Crookham from developing any passing moves and cut out any long ball forward. They then played the ball around quickly, building play from the defence through midfield which then created a number of chances for both the strikers and midfield players. Crookham were kept under constant pressure, defending well with their keeper making a number of saves from one on ones. The breakthrough eventually came when Louie Gilpin broke free down the right hand side, cut the ball back to Dylan Hooper on the edge of the penalty box who then with one touch passed across to Ryan Blake who was unmarked, Ryan then fininshed an excellent piece of passing play off in a calm manner to put the Trojans 1-0 up. The Trojans continued to dominate possesion for the remainder of the 1st half. The 2nd half continued with the Trojans pushing forward, Crookham to their credit did not give up, kept their shape and discipline. The Trojans went 2 up when Matt Varns took a thow in on the right wing, finding Callum Morris in the centre of the pitch who then knocked it onto Ryan Blake. Ryan who was in just in the Crookham penalty box hit the ball with his left foot to the far corner of the net. The 3rd goal came when Matt Murphy burst down the left wing after a pass from Callum Morris, he beat his man, pushed on into the box and hit a powerfull shot across the floor in the far corner. Crookham kept on pressing in the last 10 mins getting a little more possesion in the midfield and scored on the 60 min mark with an attack down their left side and a nice shot into the top left corner.

The Trojans played very well and deserved the win, all the players contributed to the performance. The Trojans defence was solid with the central defenders, Harry Mills and James Hill being dominant. Well done to all the players and the man of the match was Harry Mills, well done Harry.

 Match Report:

A tough competitive match against a well organised Aldershot team saw the Trojans fall to their first defeat of the season 1:0. The score and the result did not reflect the superiority of the Trojans who had the majority of the possession and were undone by the Blues only shot on goal. Outstanding performances from MOM Andrew Butters and Ryan Blake in the centre ensured that the Trojans defence and midfield were solid, however, good goalkeeping by the Shots keeper meant that the 7 or 8 chances that were created could not be converted. The Trojans came into this game with no substitutes which could have proved more telling , however, when many would flag the team dug deep and in the last 5 minutes shots reined in from Matt Varns, Louie, Dylan, Matt Murphy and others which showed the character of the team. The boys came off with their heads held high itching for the return match.

The Trojans played their 1st 11-a-side match in the Premiership against Manor Colts Greens. The Trojans won 2-1 in what was a very close and competitive game. After 11 minutes, a break down the middle from the Trojans,  led Louie Gilpin to take possesion of the ball just inside the opposition half.  He beat a defender and drove forward into the penalty box and placed the ball past the oncoming keeper . After that, the Trojans enjoyed more possession and dominated the remainder of the first half.  On 25 minutes, Ryan Blake scored an excellent goal from the far left hand side, a long looping shot over the keeper's head and into the far corner of the net.  Manor Colts upped their game in the second half, putting more pressure on us and scored a goal from a corner 12 minutes from the end.  During the second half the Trojans created a number of opportunities on goal.  In the last ten minutes Harry Kearsley made a goal saving tackle when their striker was through.  Our goalkeeper, Ryan Morrison, also made a great save towards the end of the game when he caught it going above his head.  A good game by all.
