Match Report. Salhouse vs Old Catton. 3/3/19.

This week we faced an Old Catton side who had gone four games undefeated prior to the weekend. The reason for this was immediately apparent, with a strong aerial threat and an impressive defence. The majority of the early chances fell to Salhouse, with the woodwork and Old Catton's goalie impressively keeping things level.

Despite Salhouse commanding the first half, midway through, Old Catton took their first real chance in the game. Salhouse failed to clear the ball following a set piece that fell nicely to an Old Catton player who took his chance with a well-timed and executed volley into the bottom right hand corner of the goal.

Salhouse at half time decided to change the formation in attempt to take the chance to draw level, unknown to us at that point it would take so long. The second half was long for all parties involved. With only one substitute to call upon and giving it their all, Salhouse started to tire and Old Catton looked to have the upper hand, bringing on several sets of fresh legs.

Salhouse's near missed passes and chances kept Old catton in the lead until the 93rd minute when Jack Herbet decided to put his shooting boots on. Mikey found himself on the left with space in which he plays a near enough perfect ball to his close friend, Jack, who hits a beautiful left footed volley past the keeper to secure a deserving draw.

This was a very hard fought game from both sides. I couldn't be prouder of the Salhouse side who turned up. We gave maximum effort right until the final whistle.

My joint MOTM goes to a Jack Herbert, who could've had a hat-trick, and Taylor Thomas Palmer, who's energy and passion for the game is a beautiful sight to be seen.

Announcement: After serious discussions, unfortunately Tom Peachman has decided to step down from being assistant manager at the end of the season. I personally would like to thank him for all his efforts he has put in, especially when it came to setting the team up after we had both left our previous club. Each match Tom would arrive early to ensure everything was open and ready. Tom will still be involved, as player and of course a major part of our sponsorship deal with sapphire investigation bureau. I’m sure you’d all like to thank Tom for his efforts also ⚽️

Salhouse showed why they are top of the league, running out comfortable winnersagainst a talented Mulbarton side.

Salhouse applied all the early pressure and were rewarded with a goal from Mikey Goldie, assisted by Ryan Shadbolt, at just after 10 minutes. Salhouse continuedtheir constant pressure on the Mulbarton goal and were given a penalty just before the 30 minute mark. Oli Newson stepped up to take but was denied by an excellent save from the home sides keeper.

The last 15 minutes of the first half brought forth some great end to end football as Mulbarton got more into the game. The pace of their front men caused the defensiveline up of Billy, Captain Tom and Ant to get to work. It was due to the heroic effortsof Billy, clearing the ball at 38 minutes, which kept Salhouse in the lead. There resulting corner was comfortably dealt with and the resulting counter attack almost lead to the Rovers doubling their lead. It was once more the athletic goal keeper ofMulbarton that denied a well taken Danny Shurey shot.

The second half commenced in much the same way. Danny was once more deniedby their keeper and then Alfie, in goal for Salhouse, pulled off a save at the other end to maintain the status quo.

Fifteen minutes into the half, Manager Kyle substituted Macca for Ryan Richards who had worked tirelessly for the first hour. Macca positioned himself in front of thedefence, enabling Peachy to take up Ryan’s position on the wing.

The change injected energy into the away side and a short time later Oli Newson sweetly placed the ball in the back of the net. The assist was provided by Jake, who had run half the length of the pitch, before providing Oli with the inch perfect cross. A short time later, Ryan Shadbolt increased the lead to 3, again from a Jake assist.

Ryan made way for Troy in the last 20 minutes. He quickly joined in the attack and a short time later Mulbarton’s keeper was picking the ball out of the back of the net fora fourth time that day, as Danny slotted it past him.

Two minutes later, Mulbarton pulled one back. Mikey responded by running half the length of the field only to have the Mulbarton keeper deny him with a reflex save.

Felthorpe v Salhouse Rovers
Sunday 2nd September 2018

In this opening match of the season, Salhouse ran out comfortable winners. This despite approximately half the team being unavailable due to a less exciting match taking place at Portman Road that day.

The scoring was opened by Troy with a delightful finish into the bottom corner which gave the Felthorpe keeper no chance. Ryan Shadbolt then joined in with the first of his 4 goals and 2 assists. Man of the Match Ryan, showed great pace and strength throughout the 90 as he continually defeated the opposition’s defence. He was assisted by Trafford with some solid hold up work. Ryan’s 4 goals were interspersed by a fine header from Oli Newson which looped over the keeper and into the back of the net.

Oli had a chance to double his tally when Salhouse were awarded a penalty. This followed on from Troy being brought down during one of his surging runs. The Keeper successfully saved the penalty, only to have Ryan slot home the rebound for his third of the day.

The goal of the day and a possible early candidate for goal of the season, came from Macca who moved onto the left wing in the closing stages. This was to replace a tired Nyal who had run tirelessly up and down the pitch for over 70 minutes. This 30 yard shot dipped under the crossbar beautifully, giving Felthorpe’s number 1 no chance.

The defence of Macca, Captain Tom Hunt and Ant, was seldom troubled. Euan between the posts, successfully dealt with the odd shot which got through, only getting beat once. This was in a well executed Felthorpe move when Salhouse were already 6 goals in front.

Throughout the morning, the midfield of Troy, Peachy and Jake worked tirelessly. Peachy supplied numerous crosses to the frontmen and earned his assist with a perfectly weighted 30 yard pass for Ryan to slot home. Troy always looked to trouble the opposition defence when running forward. Jake was full of energy, controlling the centre of the pitch throughout the full 90 minutes and running Ryan close for the Man of the Match accolade.

The closing 15 minutes saw Rodger and Boog enter the fray, with fine contributions from them both.
Final Score: Felthorpe 1 – Salhouse Rovers 7

Next Match: Salhouse Rovers v Cherry Tree F.C. on Sunday 9th September. Kick Off 10:30am.
