15 APR 2007: L&B BOYS 1-5 REFFLEY
The L & B pitch was hard and bumpy but the boys in red gave a typical
hard working, battling display. Reffley had the better of the early
exchanges continually turning the physical L & B defence. The pressure
eventually led to them breaking down the left and a perfect cross allowed Jack
Taylor to come in and hammer the ball past the goalkeeper. L & B
then had their best spell putting the Reffley defence under a lot of
pressure only to find them in great form backed up by a solid goal keeper.
Nearing half time and Reffley won a free kick just over the half way line,
up steps Matt Cornwell to unleash a forty yard shot straight into
the top corner.
Second half opened with Reffley again under pressure, but the storm was
weathered and they eventually got back into their stride. Ryan Scott
released Cornwell to run through and score his second. L & B
then won a free kick and their player stepped up to curl the ball away
from Darren's despairing dive and into the top corner a goal worthy of Mr
Cornwell himself. Once again though Reffley pulled their socks up a quick
break saw Cornwell restore the three goal advantage and complete
his hatrick. Towards the end a perfectly delivered corner from Ben Ward
saw Pat Staunton stoop to header the fifth goal and complete the
scoring. Both teams deserved credit for this hard battling game in the
heat.

08 APR 2007: TERRINGTON 0-2 REFFLEY
On a hot April morning both sides had many chances to win this game. Both
sides worked really hard and produced some good football, but both keepers
were in sparkling form. The game was won though by a bit of good fortune
going Reffley's way. A long clearance by Darren Smith went right
the way through and with Mickey putting the defenders under pressure the
ball was allowed to run straight into the Terrington net. A period of
really sustained pressure then followed for Reffley. Ryan Scott won the
ball in midfield and supplied a perfectly weighted pass for Mickey
Elwood to run onto again and bury in the net. Although this was not
their best performance it was the most pleasing as the whole team kept
working hard right to the end.

01 APR 2007: MUNDFORD 3-1 REFFLEY
The second game of the weekend saw Reffley again fall behind to defensive
lapses. Although this game epitimised their season. For long periods they
dominated the opposition but at vital times a lack of concentration
allowed Mundford to capitalise. The Reffley scorer was Pat Staunton
with a lovely flicked header that gave the keeper no chance. Reffley man
of the weekend was, and I know people don't like to see this but, the
whole squad. The managers comment after this game was "keep playing
like this and eventually your luck will change."

31 MAR 2007: REFFLEY 2-4 MUNDFORD
This game took place on the Saturday with the return on the following day
to help both team catch up on their league fixtures. Mundford were quickly
out of the blocks which saw them take an early 2 -0 lead, both goals the
result of defensive mistakes being capitalised on. Matt Cornwell
worked hard through the middle and was rewarded with a goal to bring
Reffley to life. Mundford scored twice more before half time to lead 4 v
1. The second half saw the usual Reffley side turn up and they performed
brilliantly to take the game to Mundford and win the second half 1 v 0
with a fantastic free kick from Mr Cornwell.

24 MAR 2007: WOOTTONS 4-1 REFFLEY - League KO Cup Q/F
On an awful pitch the Reffley team were beaten by a side that on their day
are the strongest in the league. Reffley scorer was Matthew Cornwell with
another fantastic free kick, something that is fast becoming his trade
mark.

SUN
11 MAR: REFFLEY 2-1 BRANDON
Squad: D.Smith, J.Cole, P.Staunton, C.Goodsen,
M.Ellwood, J.Scott, R.Scott, D.Taylor, J.Taylor, J.Ridsdill, M.Cornwell,
B.Ward, J.Hooke.
This was a game that neither side could
really afford to lose. The game started in a poor fashion with neither
side really imposing any authority. Danny Taylor remained composed to hit
a thirty yarder, but the Brandon keeper pulled off a great save to deny
him his first of the season.
Reffley pushed and probed but just couldn't get the ball into a telling
area. It was left to Brandon to open the scoring midway through the first
half when they broke quickly to punish the Reffley defence. This did spark
Reffley into raising their game and shortly after Reffley forced a series
of corners one resulting in Matty Cornwell's cross taking a small
deflection into the Brandon goal.
Half time came with the scores equal. The second half opened with both
sides again struggling with the pitch and the windy conditions and it
looked as though the game was going to end all square, until a bit of
magic from Ben saw the ball delivered into the box for Jack Taylor
to ghost into the back post to slot the ball past the advancing Brandon
keeper, for a goal that proved to be the winner.
This was a solid if not indifferent performance from the Reffley team that
showed when the work rate is there the results can come. The defence is
looking stronger and the whole squad is coming together.
Reffley MOTM the defence.

04 MAR 2007: REFFLEY 1-2 SHOULDHAM
A great game if football played by both teams. Shouldham took the lead
midway through the first half, after a goal mouth scramble. This was
followed up just before half time when the Shouldham centre forward
launched a thunderbolt into the Reffley net giving Daz no chance. The half
ended with Daz pulling of an amazing double save to deny Shouldham any
further goals.
The second half opened and Reffley fought to get on top. Both sides
continued to play good football even battling the elements. Probably the
best bit of football ended with Matt Cornwell reducing the arrears. Ryan
Scott won the ball in midfield before feeding Jack Taylor on the right, he
in turn knocked the ball into the channel for Matt Cornwell to run
onto and provide a sublime finish to the move. Both sides had chances to
add to their score but it wasn't to be. Reffley players can hold their
heads high and need to keep producing this spirit and I feel sure it will
stand them in good stead for the rest of the season.
Reffley MotM: Ttoo close to call between Chris Goodsen and Darren Smith.

SUN
25 FEB 2007: WOOTTONS 5-1 REFFLEY
With only 11 players available Reffley started this match with a different
formation. The opening exchanges saw Reffley ride their luck a bit but
they soon started to open up and create chances. Then some poor defending
saw three mistakes allow Wootton to take a 3-0 lead at half time.
The second half opened with both sides matching each other until another
defensive mistake allowed Wootton to increase their lead. What followed
was a great exchange of passes and at last Reffley showed their metal to
create a chance for Matty Cornwell to run through and score to
reduce it to 4-1. The closing minutes saw the Wootton's centre forward
burst through to restore the four goal advantage with a tremendous strike
from outside the box to make the final score 5-1.

18 FEB 2007: REFFLEY V TERRINGTON (League KO Cup - Q/F)
With Terrington having a weakened squad, Reffley took advantage to run out
four nil winners.
An even first half saw chances at both ends squandered. The second half
started with Reffley pressuring and an early corner saw Matty flight a
ball in for Pat Staunton to shoot into the back of the net.
Reffley then raised their game and with everyone pulling together scored
for a second time when Matty Cornwell hit a corker into the top
corner from twenty five yards out. This seemed to spur Terrington on and
they enjoyed their best spell, but found the defence of James, Pat, Mickey
and MOTM Chris in fine form, and when they were beaten Daz was always up
to the task in goal.
After their short spell, Reffley once again pushed on and good play by Ben
created an opening for Matty Cornwell to score his second. This
was quickly followed up by good work from Jack, Joe S and Ryan to pressure
the Terrington defence and create an opening for Cornwell to
complete his hat-trick.
A good, solid team performance and showed the value of having a good team
spirit. I would like to mention the other players in this piece as today's
performance merited a mention for everyone, so well done also to Joe H,
Jacob (hope your foots better soon) and last but not least the captain
Danny.

28 JAN 2007: REFFLEY 2-4 MATTISHALL
Again Reffley showed there battling qualities and but for putting the ball
in the net they again acquitted themselves. The first half saw them go
behind to a great strike but James Cole replied just before half
time to give them a fighting chance only for Mattishall to go up the other
end and score again. The second half saw Reffley fight really hard but a
fluke goal when Darren Smith appeared to have saved the ball, only for it
to spin into the net, saw them fall further behind. Again they fought back
and were rewarded when Ben Ward forced the ball over the line after
a scramble in the penalty area. Disappointingly the ball then fell for
Mattishall to restore their two goal advantage. A disappointing end to the
game but hopefully the boys can build on this and take the spirit into the
next game.

21 JAN 2007: BRANDON 1-2 REFFLEY (League KO Cup - last 16)
A good game from a spectators point of view between two competitive
sides. Reffley took the lead in the first half when a well delivered
corner found Mickey Ellwood at the back post and his header found
its way into the goal. The second half got under way and it was soon two
goals for Reffley when a quick throw found Matt Cornwell in the box
and he buried his shot in to the back of the net. Brandon came back at
Reffley and with 10 minutes to go were awarded a penalty after Daz caught
the Brandon centre forward, who then stepped up to convert. It seems that
the spirit is well and truly back and it just needs now for us to push on
from this and string a few results together.

SUN
14 JAN 2007: REFFLEY 0-3 DERSINGHAM
Dersingham led at half time thanks to a couple of goals from Luke Biles,
the second a rocket of a free kick. The second half saw both teams battle
really well, but it was Dersingham that scored the all important third to
run out winners. A good team performance from the Reffley lads who
displayed a spirit often missing this term.

17 DEC 2006: REFFLEY 4-2 L & B BOYS
Good first league win of the season. It was nice to see the boys play like
this, some terrific football being the order of the day. Goals in the
first half by Matt Cornwell (3) and Scotty saw us in at half
time 4 - 1 up. The second half was a real battle but the boys didn't shirk
their responsibilities and ground out a result. For most of the boys this
was their best performance of the season but my pick was Micky Ellwood. We
all wish Joe Hooke a speedy recovery.

12 NOV 2006: REFFLEY 3-2 TILNEY (Pre. Round - League KO Cup)
Both teams gave a good account of themselves in this game. Reffley
opened very strongly but found it easier to hit the woodwork than it was
the back of the net. Tilney displayed the old fighting spirit that the
club has been renowned for over the past few years and kept themselves
well and truly in the game. The second half saw Reffley out of the blocks
quicker and they soon led 2 - 0 with goals from Staunton and Cornwell.
Tilney replied mid way through the half but a good run and cross from Jack
Taylor saw an unfortunate defender put through his own goal. Tilney scored
a late consolation.

05 NOV 2006: REFFLEY 2-6 MUNDFORD (County Cup - 2nd Round)
A strong Mundford performance saw them through to the next round. An
even start was turned Mundford's way when they scored mid way in the first
half and then scored a second just before half time. The second half began
with Reffley in the changing room and Mundford in their stride and the
result was never in doubt after Mundford scored four very quick goals to
lead 6 - 0. Reffley then woke up and started to battle, a superb lob from
Staunton and a great free kick from Cornwell saw some semblance
of normality return to the Reffley team. Good luck to Mundford in the next
round.

29 OCT 2006: WALPOLE 4-0 REFFLEY
A good even first half saw Walpole take the lead just before half time
with a well taken header. The second half was turned by a couple of
refereeing decisions and some great breakaway play from Walpole who scored
two quick goals half way through the half and wrapped it up with a fourth
late on.

15 OCT 2006: REFFLEY 1-5 TERRINGTON
Well it was one of those days, the ball bounces over Dazza's head
for the first, James dribbles the ball out of the box then gets robbed and
number two, Scottie (Ryan) toes one back, we have a scrambled
effort cleared and miss two glorious chances to equalise before another
mistake concedes the third, and all on the first half.
In the second we pegged Terrington back but couldn't score and in the end
I made the call to stick three up top and we went to sleep to concede two
more, one of which was from near the corner flag. To be fair we played
some lovely football, the game was played in a competitive spirit by both
sides, but we have to stop conceding and making our chances count.

SUN
08 OCT 2006: SHOULDHAM 8-2 REFFLEY
A poor second half performance saw the boys concede 5 goals and lose
this game, a game that they dominated for periods, 8 goals to 2.
Reffley goal scorers were Pat Staunton from a scrambled corner and Matt
Cornwell with a great strike from just outside the box. As a team we
now need to step up to the plate and perform for the whole game, cut out
the moaning and start playing the way we know we can.

01 OCT 2006: REFFLEY 7-2 EAST LYNN (County Cup - 1st Round)
Reffley conceded an early goal to a penalty but was soon back on terms
when Ben Ward scored with a brave header. Some poor defensive play
then lead to Reffley conceding a second. Up stepped Matthew Cornwell
to finish off some really good football moves to score 4 goals. This made
the half time score 4-2.
The second half was a very even affair but with 2 very good strikes, one
from Ben Ward and the other from Mickey Ellwood. Good
performances from Joe Hooke and Patrick Staunton. This game saw Taylor
Wilson make his debut and complete the new signings from the summer. It
may take a couple of games for this new team to settle, but we are
expecting good things.
Thanks to Kayleigh Taylor for refereeing.

Reffley consolation was scored by Matt Cornwell.
