Lewes (A) 08/05/26

It was good to be back after 4 weeks with no games. Also to play on grass again! Forgotten what that felt like.

A really good game played from both sides. Lewes took an early lead through a great run from a player near the halfway line then a 2nd shortly after deflecting off one of our players. Saints played some really good football. Small 1-2s and using the width/length of the pitch well. Lewes scored a 3rd with a big kick from their keeper which the striker took well on the half volley.

Saints changed positions round and it seemed to change luck. Putting lots of pressure on with countless shots and the Lewes keeper making endless saves, saints finally broke the deadlock in the 3rd quarter followed by another shortly after.

Going into the last quarter with no subs was proving difficult with Lewes rotating every 6mins for fresh legs. Saints managed to find the equaliser but Lewes found another with a well taken shot hitting the inside of the post.

Both teams can be proud as they all put on a brilliant performance for parents and coaches.

We wish Lewes well for the remaining fixtures.

Withdean (a) 07.02.26

We were welcomed by Withdean on a cloudy but dry Sunday morning with the first time the two teams have met.

All 4 quarters were very equal and competitive. Withdean trying to play out from the back and saints trying to press high up the pitch. It was a good battle between the two teams.

Saints found themselves going a goal ahead but withdean soon came back and found themselves ahead not too long after.

Saints trying a new formation on a very big pitch with no subs was a credit to all the players. Harry.M workrate at the back was fantastic with Teo and Milan operating the wings trying to support the attack aswell as the defence when out of possession. Bailey was battling for every ball but withdean were no pushovers here.

Jaxon found himself on the scoresheet, one which was an inch perfect strike from about 20 yards. Some lovely takedowns too from some good distribution from Harry.C who again had a cracking game with some fine saves. Harry.M grabbing a last gasp goal to level things to which was a great game.

Will look forward to the next time these two teams meet.

Hove Park Colts Blue u8s (h)
25/01/26

This week saw us welcome Hove Park Colts Blue u8s.

A really good entertaining game with not much between the two teams but both having chances. Harry.C pulled off some good saves whereas the other end of the pitch saw the ball go past the post numerous times. After the 2nd Quarter we we were still yet to see a goal.

A couple of waves from Hove Park with some good build up play but saints held firm with some good defending. Hove Park striking the post from a freekick.

A low scoring game but nevertheless an entertaining game. Either team could have won. Saints hitting the post in the 3rd quarter getting closer to the target. The last few minutes of the final quarter perhaps saw the saints finish stronger but found hove park hard to break down.

Player of the match = Jaxon who throughout the game kept pressing and defending from the front. Covered nearly every blade of grass across the pitch. Unlucky not to score with the final kick of the match.
