Match Report from Chairman Adam Goodes.

Today our first team began their 2026/2027 campaign with a short trip across Wellingborough to Eastfield Park for a Nene Cup Round 1 fixture with Premier Division side FC Teq.

We started the game quite well and in the 10th minute took an early lead as Charlie Brooks superbly lobbed the goalkeeper from outside the box, assisted by Jack Constable. 0-1. The home team looked dangerous immediately and after a few missed chances they converted one in the 18th minute to equalise. 1-1. Our hosts showed why they compete in the top division as they had the majority of the possession and this control paid off as they scored in the 42nd minute to go in front. 2-1.

HT.

Despite the lads in blue having most of the ball we still looked a threat when going forward ourselves and came close on a few occasions to bring the game level but failure to do so was punished in the 65th minute as FC Teq found the net again. 3-1. A decent game of football played in very good spirits saw both teams fight until the end but ultimately the opposition managed the match well and walked away with a fully deserved victory.

Match Reports from Chairman Adam Goodes.

Today our Vets, Reserves and Firsts were all involved in preseason friendlies at separate times so I and a few others were able to watch every match.

CPR Vets 0-5 Saxon Vets
CPR Reserves 1-6 David Green Development
CPR Firsts 0-1 FC Teq

Despite all three games ending in defeat for the Swans, there were very valuable minutes for all three squads and a total of 48 lads represented Croyland Park Rangers today.

10.30am. Our Vets played at Whitworths FC in the Kurt Hobbs Memorial Day against Saxon Vets. We started the game with our backs against the wall as Saxon looked very dangerous going forward and scored early on to go 1-0 up then almost immediately after scored again to go 2-0 up. We had a few opportunities to find the net ourselves but failure to take any of these chances was punished as the boys in red extended their lead. 3-0.
HT.
A few changes were made and there was some good football being played by us but there was a real lack of quality in the final third, unlike our opponents as they added another to go 4-0 in front then wrapped up a comfortable win from their perspective late on by finding the net again. 5-0.
FT.

12.30pm. Our Reserves played at Sywell Road against David Green Development. We started the game brightly and could have taken the lead early on but instead it was our opponents who scored first. 1-0. This clearly gave our hosts a boost as they dominated the majority of the first half from then on and scored three goals in the process to be 4-0 up at the interval.
HT.
We looked a little better in the early stages of the second half and were rewarded with a goal when Ryan McLaurie headed in a corner from Mark Gater. 4-1. This did give us a bit of hope and we could have reduced the deficit further but instead the lads in grey and green went 5-1 up. The effort was definitely there from our Reserves until the end of the game but it was the quality that wasn't there and David Green added another to seal a comfortable 6-1 victory for themselves.
FT.

3pm. Our Firsts played at Whitworths FC in the Kurt Hobbs Memorial Day against FC Teq. We started the game brightly and Jack Constable came close within the first minute but unfortunately just missed the target. Despite that positive beginning it was our opponents who looked the most likely to score and this came true in the 14th minute as they went 1-0 up. The boys in navy had multiple chances to extend their lead but some good saves from our keeper kept them out for the remainder of the half.
HT.
A couple of fresh legs were brought on to try and cope with the constant pressure on our goal and our lads did well to defend strong and keep FC Teq out. We had a few opportunities to equalise including Jack Constable coming really close again but unfortunately just put the ball past the post. Despite the odd positive attack from us it was very much the Premier Division side who controlled most of the possession and probably should have added to their advantage but failed to do so. A big shout out to our goalkeeper Adam Gregory and all of our defenders as we kept the scoreline the same for the remainder of the contest.

(Friendly) Croyland Park Rangers 4-5 Parklands Tigers

Match Report from Chairman Adam Goodes

Today our First team played on the 4G pitch at Redwell Leisure Centre against Parklands Tigers.

We started the game really well and in the 4th minute Arnold Marambe was fouled on the edge of the box, up step Jack Constable for the free kick who curled the ball into the bottom corner. 1-0. We kept the pressure up and in the 11th minute Nesu Mangena played a great pass to Jack Constable who slotted home for his second of the match. 2-0. The opposition reacted almost immediately as in the 13th minute they scored. 2-1. This gave the boys in orange and black real momentum as they were having more of the possession then in the 23rd minute they equalised. 2-2. The game became an end to end contest which led to FrancisE Galaxy assisting Jack Constable to complete his hat-trick. 3-2. It looked likely we would see out the first half in front but just before the interval the lads from Northampton found the net once more. 3-3.

HT.

A few changes in personnel and a slight tweak in formation from Gaffer Alex Ray to ensure every played had fair minutes seemed to have an instant impact as in the 46th minute Jack Constable scored his fourth goal of the contest. 4-3. We had many opportunities to extend our lead but instead Parklands Tigers were next to score bringing the game level yet again in the 55th minute. 4-4. A mistake by us at the back was capitalised on by our opponents in the 58th minute so they would be winning for the first time. 4-5. Both teams were visibly struggling to cope with the hot weather as the tempo from both sets of attackers seemed to ease off and Tigers did well to manage the game out with no more goals in the final third of the match.

FT.

(Friendly) Croyland Park Rangers Vets 4-4 Revelation Wariyahs.

Match Report from Chairman Adam Goodes.

Today our Vets played a friendly on the 4G pitch at Kettering Buccleuch Academy against Revelation Wariyahs.

We started the game really well and opened the scoring in the 9th minute when Matthew Tin brilliantly converted a cross from Dan Wildman. 1-0. We extended our advantage almost immediately as Ash Green put away a great finish in the 10th minute, assisted by Bailey Browne. 2-0. The opposition had a few chances to score and took one in the 19th minute to make it 2-1. An excellent response to this by the old Swans as in the 20th minute Darius Sebastian slotted home a cross from Matthew Tin. 3-1. The lads in yellow were sure to make this game a real contest and in the 27th minute they reduced the deficit with another goal. 3-2. In typical preseason fashion, both teams had multiple opportunities in front of goal but no more were converted in the first half.

HT.

We came close on a few occasions to restore our two goal cushion but failure to put any of them shots away were punished in the 53rd minute as Revelation Wariyahs found an equaliser. 3-3. This gave our opponents real momentum and they started to control possession, really putting us on the back foot and in the 61st minute found the back of the net yet again. 3-4. Despite this fixture only being a friendly to gain well needed match minutes and fitness it was a great spectacle and in the 85th minute Bailey Browne superbly slotted the ball into the bottom corner from Nathan Cuthbert's assist to bring the scores level once more. 4-4. Upon reflection a draw was probably the fairest result and late on both teams and took their foot off the gas and in the 90th minute the referee rightly didn't bother with any additional time he just called it a day and blew the whistle to end an excellent football game, one absolutely the neutrals would have thoroughly enjoyed.
