12 March 2006:
HUNGATE V REFFLEY
Again with a depleted side Reffley found it hard going and soon
found themselves one down. But this acted more of a spur than previously
and with Ryan Beasley and Joseph Scott getting to grips in the midfield
and Matt Cornwell rising to the challenge they took the game to Hungate. A
great run by Matt was well finished off by Luke Tyhurst at the back
post. This was then followed by a well taken header by Ryan Scott and
then followed by a tap in for the same player - both created by Ben Ward
to give Reffley a 3-1 lead.
Half time came and Reffley thought they had won it but were woken by a
second well taken Hungate goal. This spurred Reffley on and Luke was
brought down in the box to enable Darren Smith to score his first
league goal from the spot. The game was effectively over when Matt
Cornwall scored with a superb twenty yard free kick.
Both sides contrived to miss chances but the Reffley defence of Danny
Taylor, Jacob Ridsdill, Patrick Staunton and the solid James Cole remained
resolute. A good return to the side for Jack Starling.
Reffley would like to thank the young referee M. Thompson who controlled
the game very well.

2006: BRANDON 7-3 REFFLEY
A poor performance from a depleted Reffley side saw them thankful
to Darren Smith in goal who pulled off two fantastic saves to keep the
score as low as it was and to Joseph Scott for another tireless
performance. The Reffley scorers were Ryan Scott (2) and Matt Cornwell.

February 2006: DERSINGHAM 3-1 REFFLEY
Dersingham took an early lead when a shot from thirty yards out was picked
up by the wind to leave Darren Smith in the Reffley goal stranded. The
lead was increased when persistent work from Luke Biles, forced the ball
home. With half time approaching Reffley slowly got back into the
game.
The second half started with Ryan Scott knocking a superb ball through for
Matt Cornwell to calmly slot past the Dersingham 'keeper. Reffley
then raised their game and some sustained pressure resulted in a series of
corners. Luck was, however, against them on the day and they went down to
ten men through injuries and shortly after went further behind.
Both managers complimented the teams for their efforts in a game marred by
the managers running short of "magic water".
Thanks to Ingoldisthorpe for the use of their pitch at short notice.

February 2006: REFFLEY 1-1 BRANDON
An entertaining game from two wholly committed teams. Reffley
opened the scoring when a good clearance from goalkeeper Darren Smith gave
Ryan Scott the opportunity to beat the defence to slot in. Some
hard fought exchanges then took place but although the Reffley defence was
on their game failure to close down from a corner saw the ball drop to the
Brandon winger whose lob just beat Smith for the equaliser.
The second half was played at a fantastic pace with both sides acquitting
themselves very well. But for all the hard work and with Ben Ward a
constant thorn in the Brandon side, a winner could not be found.
Reffley MotM: Darren Smith.

February 2006: TERRINGTON 2-3 REFFLEY
An entertaining game from
these two teams in very muddy conditions saw Reffley win by the odd goal
of five. In a closely fought first
half, both defences were on top with only one scoring chance for each
team.
Reffley opened the second half on the back foot, but with Terrington
unable to capitalise, they pushed forward and Matt Cornwell supplied some
great through balls for Ben Ward to show his prowess to finish
twice.
Terrington then raised their game and were soon back into it with
two well struck goals. Play was
then quite even with both sides fully committed but it was Reffley,
through Cornwell, who scored the winner.
Reffley’s managers comment was “a great squad performance”.
Reffley MotM: Ryan Scott.

February 2006: REFFLEY 1-5 DERSINGHAM (Sub Cup Q/F)
Reffley made a slow start against a very strong Dersingham team
and soon found themselves two goals behind. Persistent play then led to
them getting a goal back through a strong run and finish from Matt
Cornwell. Both sides knew that the next goal was going to be very
important, and with Danny Taylor, Darren Smith and Chris Goodsen producing
their best displays of the season Reffley rose to the challenge, only for
one simple slip up gifting a goal to Dersingham.
With Ryan and Joe Scott both pushing hard to get back into the game and a
few players who struggle with carrying injuries, Reffley left themselves
open and Dersingham punished the home team further to score a couple and
ran out 5 - 1 winners.
Reffley MotM: James Cole.
The Reffley team would like to send best wishes to the Dersingham player
who was taken to hospital before the start of the game and thank Richard
for refereeing.

2006: SHOULDHAM 6-0 REFFLEY
This proved to be a really poor team performance from Reffley.
Shouldham opened the scoring after 15 mins and added to this half way
through the first half. Reffley started the second half quite strongly but
caved in when Shouldham scored a soft third. All credit to a strong
Shouldham team who added three more to their tally and left the Reffley
manager with no complaints about the result.
Reffley MotM: Joseph Scott.

January 2005: REFFLEY 6-1 ROCKLANDS
A real hard battling team performance saw Reffley run out
comfortable winners of this encounter. An early, well taken goal from Matt
Cornwall steadied the nerves and a superbly struck shot from Luke
Tyhurst quickly increased the lead.
Rocklands replied with a good goal
themselves. After a persistent run from Ryan, his brother Joe Scott finished
off the move to give Reffley a 3-1 halftime lead.
The second half saw Reffley continue to press and harry their opponents
with regular goals being scored and further chances created. The second
half goals were scored by Ryan Scott, Ben Ward and a second
for Tyhurst. The whole defence were outstanding as a unit, the
midfield battled tirelessly and the lone striker never gave up. The
manager was proud of every single one of them today, so no man of the
match. Thanks to Barry for taking the whistle.

January 2005: REFFLEY 3-1 DOWNHAM
A rather lacklustre performance from Reffley after the Christmas break saw
them scrape through this game with three points.
Reffley took an early lead when some good passing opened the way for Matty
Cornwell to run through on goal and beat the 'keeper from the edge of
the box. A period of Downham pressure was curtailed by a second from Ben
Ward in similar circumstances, with Ben finishing from the just
outside the area.
Downham were then gifted a chance, which was brilliantly saved by Darren
Smith but unfortunately his fellow defenders were not as quick thinking
and the forward followed up to tap in the rebound.
The second half was a tight affair with both sides struggling to find any
rhythm which was finished as a contest when Cornwell scored his
second.
Thanks to Neil for taking the whistle at short notice.
Reffley MotM: Joseph Scott.

December 2005: REFFLEY 0-0 MUNDFORD
This was always likely to be a closely fought game between two
well matched sides and so it proved to be. Reffley were forced to make
several team changes but coped well and were soon involved in a tough
midfield battle. With the defence doing well against a pacey Mundford
front line, Reffley carved out several chances from Beasley, Ryan and Joe
Scott, and Cornwell but could not find a breakthrough.
The second half saw the game become a scrappy affair, with neither side
able to gain an advantage. With Mundford able to hit on the break, Reffley
had to be alert and an outstanding one handed save from Darren Smith in
the closing minutes ensured that a fair result was achieved.
Reffley MotM: The whole team for a hard working display.

December 2005: SNETTISHAM 1-2 REFFLEY (Sub. Cup Pre. Round)
On
a very heavy pitch Reffley fought very hard to come back from a goal down
to win this encounter. To their credit both sides tried to play good
football but eventually the pitch won out as they tired. Good performances
from all Reffley team with the pick being two goal hero Matthew Cornwell.

November 2005: DOWNHAM 1-5 REFFLEY
Reffley started this game brightly and were ahead after
only two minutes with a break away goal from Ben Ward. The game
then became a tribute to the Downham goalkeeper, who pulled off a string
of fine saves and his team responded by equalising just before half time.
The second half started the same as the first with Reffley scoring early
by a header from Ryan Scott.
Ward then added two more goals to complete his hat-trick and the
scoring was rounded off by Matthew Cornwell converting straight
from a corner.
The game was played in a great spirit by both teams and was handled very
well by Stuart Dickson.

November 2005: SHOULDHAM A 4-1 REFFLEY (KO Cup 2nd Round)
Reffley never got going in this game and against a strong Shouldham side
this made things very difficult. Reffley did enjoy the start of the second
half but after going three goals behind were never going to feature in the
next round. Luke Tyhurst scored Reffley’s consolation goal. Good
luck to Shouldham in the next round. Reffley MotM: Chris Goodsen.

October 2005: REFFLEY 1-6 DERSINGHAM
A lacklustre performance saw Reffley muscled out of this game bringing to
an end to their winning streak. Dersingham took an early lead and never
looked back adding further goals throughout the game. Reffley’s only
reply came from a great in swinging corner from Ben Ward.

October 2005: REFFLEY 6-3 TERRINGTON
Reffley continued their good form against a very strong Terrington side.
After a very tight first half which ended at 1 – 1, the second half
opened with a flourish, both sides scoring two goals very quickly. It was
then nip and tuck with both sides creating openings and it was Reffley who
took their chances, going on to notch three more goals. This was a very
strong squad performance. Reffley goal scorers were Ben Ward (4) and
Matthew Cornwell (2).
Reffley
MotM: Chris Goodsen and Ryan Scott. Thanks to Tim Cockle for taking the
whistle.

October 2005: HEACHAM 0-5 REFFLEY
With only eleven fit players Reffley had their work cut out going
into this game, but all the players were brilliant and the team work was
exceptional. It had to be because Heacham never gave up. Reffley's first
was scored by a Ryan Scott special, quickly followed by a long
strike from Ben Ward. Both sides continued to play some nice
positive football but it was Reffley who extended their lead with a Matthew
Cornwell drive from outside the box.
Early
Heacham pressure in the second half was weathered by the Reffley defence
who were well marshalled by Darren Smith and the emerging James Cole, ably
supported by Patrick Staunton, Chris Goodsen and an injured Jacob Ridsdill.
The
game was finally put to bed when after hard work from Joseph Scott and
Jack Starling a corner was cleared straight to Danny Taylor who hit
a 30 yarder into the top corner and Ward then added his
second.
MOTM was the Heacham goalkeeper. Thanks to Marty Woods for taking the
whistle.

October 2005: REFFLEY 6-2 THREE HOLES (KO CUP - 1st ROUND)
Reffley had to work hard to begin with but won this cup game quite
comfortably in the end. Goals were scored at regular intervals from Matthew
Cornwell, Chris Goodsen, Jack Starling and a hat-trick
for Ryan Scott. The manager’s comment was “nice to see the lads
put some of their chances away at last”. Reffley MotM: Joseph Scott.
Thanks to Stuart Freeman for taking the whistle.

September 2005: REFFLEY 2-3 SHOULDHAM
The spirit in which this game was played was a complement to both
teams. Shouldham opened the scoring early on and increased their lead with
a deflected shot before Reffley replied through Ward, after a great ball
played through by Beasley. Just before half time, Shouldham restored their
two goal advantage with a long range effort. The second half saw Reffley
get on top for long periods and Shouldham counter attacking with great
speed. The only score in the second period was when Ward latched onto a
long clearance from Smith.
The
manager commented to Reffley that it was a great advert for football and
he was proud of how his team fought. This was re-iterated by the Shouldham
manager and parents. Thanks to Stuart Freeman for taking the whistle.

September 2005: ROCKLANDS 2-1 REFFLEY
The way that Reffley dominated this
game made the result a difficult one to believe. Despite their territorial
advantage, having a good penalty claim turned down and ‘keeper Smith
pulling off a couple of great saves, Rocklands managed to open the scoring
on half time. The second half followed the same pattern: Reffley created
chance after chance only to be thwarted each time by an in form Rocklands
‘keeper. The home team extended their lead from a break away goal, but
Reffley managed to pull one back through Ward two minutes from full time.

11
September 2005: REFFLEY 1-5 WOOTTONS
Reffley opened their campaign against
a strong Woottons side that opened the scoring after 20 mins and added
another just before half time. The Woottons then scored a spectacular goal
from just inside the Reffley half and went on to add two more. But Reffley
persevered and were rewarded when a great piece of individual skill from
Ryan Scott opened the way for Ben Ward to score a consolation goal.
Reffley had two MOTM: they were the Scott twins Ryan and Joseph.
