REPORT
Reffley carried their league form into their
first tournament of the summer. In the group stage of the competition
Reffley were the only team of the 16 teams involved to win all of their
matches. Most teams struggled to come to terms with the shortened game
time of a tournament format and goals were hard to come by.
Reffley dominated in all of their matches although they had to come from
2-1 down to beat Wells.
Their match against Downham B saw Reffley play their best football of the
day. They had several chances when the ball just refused to go into the
net and eventually won by a single goal.
In the quarter final Reffley came up against a strong North Lynn B side
and although Reffley scored first the lead was never really secure until a
penalty gave them their second goal and the win.
The semi final saw Reffley up against Rocklands who had qualified by
knocking out Dersingham on penalties. Both sides had chances but once
again the ball would not go in, the game ended goaless and also had to be
decided by penalties. Rocklands won 3-2 to see them into the final which
they won 2-0 against Downham Reds. An enjoyable day out with entertaining
football from all involved.

Stoke Ferry
Mini-Soccer Tournament
|
21 April 2006
|
REPORT
Reffley came to the Stoke Ferry tournament to defend the title they had
won last year. Despite a good start the result was to be as disappointing
as the weather in what turned out to be a long and wet day.
Reffley made a confident start against an unknown Swaffham side by playing
good passing football and with solid defending. Reffley never seemed
troubled and took a convincing 2-0 win from their first game.
Reffley seemed to lose concentration for their second match and allowed
W.S.M to make all the chances. A well taken free kick at the end of the
game saw W.S.M take the points.
For the next match Reffley found their form again and remembered how to
attack the opposition and make chances. Other teams within the group were
noticing how well Reffley could play with the biggest win of the day at
7-0, with Daniel Howlett scoring 5 and Benedict Hazel scoring his first
competitive goal.
The next game against Leverington was close with both teams having chances
but with Reffley unable to make any count Leverington won 1-0.
Reffley scored first in their match against Dersingham but an own goal
made the scores level. Reffley then lost concentration and had to chase
the game, finally losing 3-1.
The match against Downham saw a good performance by both teams showing how
well matched they are and for the third time in competitive games the
result was a draw.
In the last match of the day Reffley were on top for most of the game with
shots going just wide or just over the bar. Marham were the eventual 1-0
winners scoring on a counter attack with a couple of minutes left to play.

Wisbech St Mary Mini-Soccer
Tournament
|
10 June 2006
|
REPORT
Reffley
made a slow start in their first game against Gunthorpe but were
still holding their own in a fairly evenly matched game. Reffley conceded
a late goal in rather unfortunate circumstances to lose 1-0.
Reffley stepped up the pace in their second game and created some good
chances but could not put the ball in the net with some good saves being
made. The defence were solid and Leverington
& Bridgecroft could not break it down.
The game ended goalless.
Reffley carried on the good work and momentum they gained from their
second game and created some good chances early in the match but still
could not find a goal. Late
on Daniel Howlett scored a well-taken goal quickly followed up by a
well struck free kick by Kai Neve to put the game out of WSM
reach and finish 2-0.
Reffley kicked off their fourth game against March at the same time
as England started their first World Cup match.
Howlett scored for Reffley just before England scored but
the result was the same with a 1-0 win.
Reffley’s fifth game was against Northborough and was another
hard fought game with Reffley working well all over the pitch and won with
two more goals from Howlett.
Reffley knew going into the final game against Eye Utd that a draw
would take them through to the quarter final and a win would send them
through as group winners. Reffley
came out fired up and dominated the game with a solid defence and attacked
hard from midfield chasing everything down up front. Two goals from Howlett
started the scoring followed up by a goal from Nathaniel Hazel and
the fourth from Howlett to complete his hat trick.
Reffley then had a long wait before their Q/F with Chatteris.
When the time came Reffley could not get up to the standard of
football that they had played in their previous games and were starting to
look tired. They conceded a goal
halfway through but Reffley kept battling on.
The game was then put out of Reffley’s reached with a good strike
late on and Chatteris finished as 2-0 winners.
Well done Reffley for winning a tight group against teams outside our
normal area.

Clenchwarton Mini-Soccer Tournament
|
24 June 2006
|
|
REFFLEY U9's (Ben Berwick, Aidan
Grange, Aaron Pyper, Nathaniel Hazel, Benedict Hazel, Kai Neve, Daniel
Howlett, Kai Gilkerson)
|
REPORT
Reffley finished as runners-up in the Clenchwarton tournament thanks to
good performances from all of the team.
Reffley
began slowly against an eager Parsons Drove.
They managed to keep the scores level for most of the first half
but a loss of concentration saw Parsons Drove leading by two goals at the
break. Reffley worked harder
in the second half and were rewarded for their effort with a goal from Benedict
Hazel but an unfortunate own goal saw Reffley finally lose 1-3.
In
their second match against Clenchwarton, Reffley showed that they
could play good passing football and were 1-0 up at half time with a goal
from Aidan Grange. They continued to keep control of the ball in
the second half, with excellent defending when required, and 2 further
goals from Benedict Hazel gave Reffley a 3-0 win.
Against North Lynn, Reffley were again in control of the match.
An own goal in the opening minutes gave Reffley the lead with
Daniel Howlett making it 2-0 by half time.
Nathaniel Hazel then scored the third, with a second from Howlett
completing the 4-0 win.
