Sunday team got their season underway this morning.
A frustrating loss where we started well and had the best of the first half, despite this went in to half time 1-0 down.
A sloppy 10 minutes at the start of the second half saw us 3-0 down.
A great finish from Morton Bell gave us hope with 20 to go but we were caught on the break late on as it finished 4-1

Goals: Godson x2, Rogers, Featherstone, Harris

Much better performance from the boys. A slow 10 minutes, but after that, we controlled the first half beautifully. Two corners were headed home, with Joey Godson scoring twice to give us a 2-0 lead.

After half-time, we knew Chinnor would be better, and they created some good chances, but we defended brilliantly. A free kick across the box from Chinnor made its way into the far post, but Chinnor continued to carry a big threat.

A corner swung over the keeper and was met by the head of Scott Rogers to make it 3-1. Then, a mazy run from Pat Featherstone and a lovely pull-back was hammered in by Jake Harris.

Pat then headed home from a lovely header back to make it 5-1.

Fair play to Chinnor, who kept playing and scored a lovely goal at the end of the game to make it 5-2.

Man of the Match: Joey Godson — two goals, constant talking, and keeping the standards high for all the players.

Colts got their league campaign underway with a tough away trip to Bearley, coming away on the wrong side of a 4–0 scoreline.

It was a difficult start for the Colts, with Bearley scoring twice inside the opening ten minutes, both goals coming from throw-in situations. Despite the early setback, Shipston settled into the game and showed plenty of determination, with five players making their men’s debuts and getting their first taste of senior football.

The Colts continued to compete and worked hard to get themselves back into the game, but were unable to find a way through a well-organised Bearley side.

The second half saw Bearley add a third, with a free kick taken from well inside the opposition half finding its way into the Shipston net. The hosts then completed the scoring from the penalty spot to make it 4–0.

There were no Shipston scorers on the day, but the result doesn’t take away from the achievement of the five players making their men’s debuts. It was a challenging introduction to senior football, but one that will provide plenty of experience to take forward.

There is plenty to work on after the opening game, particularly from the set-piece situations that ultimately proved costly, but the season is a long one and the squad will have the opportunity to put things right.

A tough opening day for the Colts, but we go again. 🖤🤍

A disappointing afternoon for the boys, who were far from their best, first half, we didn’t see much of the ball but still created two good chances that could have seen us take the lead. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make them count.

The second half saw a mad 10-minute spell where it felt like every mistake we made was punished. Abingdon took three good chances and converted all three, putting the game beyond us.

To the boys’ credit, we then started to play again and created three glorious chances of our own, but it just wasn’t to be our day.

There’s plenty to learn from the experience and the step up in quality, and we’ll be looking for a reaction from the boys next week against Chinnor.

A special mention to the Abingdon manager, who made us feel truly welcome throughout the afternoon. 🤝

⭐ Man of the Match: Will Shotton

Numerous good saves throughout the match and showed excellent distribution from the back.

We dust ourselves down, learn from today and go again next week
