Sunday October 20th 2024  
Paige Todd
rounded off scoring

City stormed to the top of the league following a clinical 10-0 win at home to Corsham Town Women at Meadow Park.

With a strong wind at their backs they scored four goals in the first half through Sachiko Kaneko-Grun, Lucabella Davis, Laina Warren and Nalani Lasmarias. After the break it seemed that Corsham might have the boss hand but three goals in the first ten minutes of the second half put paid to those thoughts.

Kassidy Grey scored twice from corners while winger Taite Scheafer stroked a shot home in between. Corsham, who included former Gloucester City Ladies player Yvette Kemp competed throughout and never gave up but could never match City's goal threat who scored three more times through Sophia Gomez, Kaneko-Grun again and finally Paige Todd.

City Women : Linteo, Golding, Skibinski, Neall, Kaneko-Grun, Warren, Todd, Grey, Soave, Stichter, Davis. Subs used - Gomez, Sheafer, Lasmarias, Deveau.

At Gala Wilton the reserves won 4-1 against Ellwood in the County Cup with goals from Zoe Gabb, Kate Ambrey, Hollie Handisides and an own goal.

City Women Reserves : O'Neil, K.Smith, Leeman, C.Gabb, Kantorowicz, M.Smith, Chloe Day, Lewis, Ambrey, Z.Gabb. Subs used - Akkurt, Handisides, Hancock.

Brandon Smalley
city's scorer

A point away at the title favourites isn't to be sniffed at. It stops them catching us, the only downer being Merthyr winning in injury time to close the gap and overtake the team from Southampton.

Brandon Smalley, an early replacement for Jadyn Crosbie gave City a first half lead before the home side equalised in the second half through Ethan Taylor. Dan Leadbitter picked up a second yellow card in injury time to see red.

City : J.Thompson, Leadbitter (90+3), Duffus, Williams, Grubb (Burns 86), Crosbie (Smalley 7), Hanks, Richards-Everton, Dawson, Emmett, Baidoo (Phillips 54). Subs not used - C.Thompson.

AFC Totton : Austin (Rendell 71), Rose (Clarke 71). Subs not used - .

Jadyn Crosbie
created opener


Dayle Grubb
found top corner

Football is a funny old game; it's shit when you're losing and not always that enjoyable when you're winning.

With City sat proudly at the top of the league, very few people would think that a home game against a side down the bottom would be anything but a win. It's a guaranteed three points before kick off, the kind of game that is easy on paper. Only football isn't played on paper, it's played on this weird 3G surface with artifical grass and hundreds of thousands of bits of rubber crumb.

So City had to work hard against a team who got as many bodies between the ball and the target as possible, so much so that when the goal eventually came it was more of a relief than a celebration. Loanee Jadyn Crosbie burst into the area and came out on top of a fifty/fifty with the keeper and bundled the ball towards goal where it came back off of the post before being accidentally chested home by a Frome defender. I'm sure Crosbie will be claiming it though.

Frome started the second half brightly and were denied by a great block by Jared Thompson when Joe O'Loughlin found himself in acres of space at the far post but Dayle Grubb made it two when he lifted a shot into the top corner with the keeper motionless.

2-0 is often cited as the most dangerous scoreline in football, although not tonight, City's goal was barely threatened. However, the whole spectacle felt underwhelming because Mike Cook's men had the lions share of possession but seemed to be forced wide every time yet were never able to find a player in a goalscoring position with any of their crosses or cut backs.

City : J.Thompson, Leadbitter, Duffus, Williams (Smalley 72), Grubb (Burns 80), Crosbie (Phillips 76), Hanks, Richards-Everton, Dawson, Emmett, Baidoo (Reckord 66). Sub not used - C.Thompson.

Frome Town : Phillips, Wood, Teale, Mitchell, Rigg, Hutson, Drew, Vaughan (McKayle 77), Monks (Day 69), Ollis (Budd 69), O'Loughlin. Subs not used - Heal, Tylek.

Sachi Kaneko-Grun
consolation goal

City Women bowed out of this seasons WFA Cup and couldn't really have too many complaints after being beaten by a very good Marine Academy team from Plymouth.

The team from the higher division always looked to be in control of the game and strangled City whenever they looked to get out of their own half. They took the lead midway through the first half when City keeper Sam Linteo was caught off of her line and was beaten from outside of the area. The scoreline remained the same until five minutes from time when Plymouth killed the game with a second, then a third before Sachiko Kaneko-Grun scored a consolation goal from a narrow angle.

City Women : Linteo, Golding, Skibinski (Fitzsimon 60), Neall, Kaneko-Grun, Warren, Todd (Scheafer 55), Slanina-Wertz (Grey 65), Soave, Stichter, Davis (Gomez 85). Subs not used - Ross, Lasmarias, Deveau.

Meanwhile the reserves continued their relentless pursuit of the title with an 8-0 win against Mangotsfield United reserves. They were 3-0 up at the break and added a further five goals in the second half.

Four players got braces; Zoe Gabb, Mirry Smith, Hollie Handisides and Nicole Lewis.

City Women Reserves : O'Neil, K.Smith, Leeman, C.Gabb, Kantorowicz, M.Smith, Chloe Day (Chelsea Day 46), Lewis, Ambrey, Z.Gabb, Handisides.

Joe Hanks
only scores in two's


Jadyn Crosbie
new signing

Now that was more like it.

I've been quite critical of some of City's second half displays so far this season where we've been hanging on for dear life but today we turned the tables on a decent Havant & Waterlooville side and had the best of the game after the interval.

The first half wasn't much to write home about. Ty Duffus scored a tremendous diving header, sadly it was past his own goalkeeper. We huffed and puffed and shots from King Baidoo and Ed Williams from outside the box just arrowed past either upright.

It was a perfect start to the second half though when Joe Hanks danced past a few defenders on the edge of the area before finding the top corner.

New signing Jadyn Crosbie struggled to make much of an impact but he got into a good position to force a save with what turned out to be his last contribution before being subbed off.

And for once it was us asking all of the questions, but it looked like it might end up with the spoils shared before the Havant keeper tipped a shot over the bar for a corner. Then they committed the cardinal sin of making a substitution ahead of a set piece from which Williams flicked the ball on to Duffus who nodded it goalwards where Brandon Smalley tried to flick it past a defender on the line who could only clear it to Hanks' feet who slammed it home.

Top. Top. Top of the League.

City : J.Thompson, Leadbitter, Duffus, Williams (Phillips 89), Grubb, Crosbie (Smalley 61), Hanks, Richard-Everton, Dawson, Emmett, Baidoo. Subs not used - C.Thompson, Reckord, Burns.

Havant & Waterlooville : Dudzinski, Austin, Atangana, Willson, Bradbury (Kealy 67), Whittingham, Seagar, Maloney, Sidwell (Swann 90), Dockerill, Anderson. Subs not used - Paul, Lee, Laidlaw.

Chloe Golding
winner

City made it five wins out of five with a hard earned 2-1 win at home to Cirencester Town. Despite hitting the bar twice in the first half both times the ball deflected out of play, but when Ciren did it the ball fell kindly for them to score the rebound.

City eventually got their goal in the second half when Sachiko Kaneko-Grun rifled home a shot from the edge of the box. It got better when Chloe Golding broke through and rolled the ball under the excellent Ciren keeper to win it, even if the ball did seem to take an age to cross the line!

City : Linteo, Skibinski, Neall, Fitzsimon, Ross, Davis, Soave, Kaneko-Grun, Todd, Scheafer, Grey. Subs - Golding, Warren, Lasmarias, Gomez, Stichter.

The reserves won 6-5 away at Old Richians against City of Gloucester Ladies. Nicole Lewis and Hollie Handisides scored two goals each whilst Mirry Smith and Claire Gabb got one apiece.

City Reserves : Hancock, Sterry, C.Gabb, Leeman, Kantorowicz, Ambrey, M.Smith, Char Day, Briscoe, Lewis, Handisides. Subs - Chloe Day, Robinson, O'Neil.

Dan Ball
straight red

City progressed through to the next round of the FA Trophy with a wholly unconvinvcing win against Wimborne Town.

In a second half performance described as "Men against Boys" in their favour by the Wimborne manager Mike Cook's men went behind when a far post header from Will Fletcher was adjudged to have crossed the line. Substitute King Baidoo equalised with a salmon like leap from a corner before Dayle Grubb put us in front just at the start of the second half.

A slightly late challenge by Dan Ball which probably looked worse than it was earned the defender a straight red card to which no one complained before Cam Munns equalised for the Bournemouth team, something which was no more than they deserved after yet another second half where City were camped in their own half.

The game went straight to penalties where everyone scored except Wimborne's Harry Morgan who couldn't beat Jared Thompson and Ed Williams who hit the upright. Harvey Wright skied his kick and City marched through.

City : Thompson, Leadbitter, Ball (79), Williams, Grubb, Smalley (Hamilton 90+5), Richards-Everton, Dawson, Emmett, McGregor (Baidoo 26), Burns (Duffus 59). Subs not used - Chovaneck, Giles, Hundt.

Wimborne Town - Flitney, Jackson, Wright, Morgan, Fletcher (Baker 61) (Cocklin 86), Ryan, Roberts (Walker 90), Beale (Bedford 61), Biss, Munn, Carmichael (Neale 61).
