Emine Akkurt gave City a first half lead before Lucabella Davis doubled the advantage midway through the second half with a penalty after Sachi Kaneko-Grun had been fouled. City : Linteo, Neall, Sheafer, M.Smith, Kaneko-Grun (Gomez), Akkurt (Lasmarias), Todd (Baldwin), Stichter, Grey, Soave, Davis. Subs not used - Clement-Hudson, Peck. Photos Champions! Monday April 21st 2025   Joe Hanks 25 goals City cemented their playoff place with a professional 3-1 win at Hunts Copse to send Swindon Supermarine into the bottom four with one game to go. The result sets up an away tie at Walton & Hersham on Wednesday 30th and as much as getting into the playoffs is a good thing it's massively disappointing that we aren't at home and aren't likely to be even if we beat W&H. A tie at Totton probably awaits. "striker" Joe Hanks scored twice today and had one ruled out for offside too, although the one that was probably wasn't and the one that wasn't probably was. Elis Watts scored the third goal whilst SS replied when a cross by Michael Fernandes may or may not have got a touch from Harry Williams. City : Thompson, Leadbitter (Jemmett-Hutson 57), Duffus, Ball, Williams, Pinchard (Burns 77), Grubb (Cross 67), Hanks (Smalley 65), Richards-Everton, Dawson, Watts. Sub not used - Emmett. Supermarine : Brabham, Turl, Campbell, Lee (Vine 61), Richards, Edge, Kotwica, Sims-Burgess, Fernandez, Spalding (Reivers 70), Dworzak (Williams 55). Subs not used - Mehew, Angel. Friday April 18th 2025   Dayle Grubb scored twice It can't be very often that you watch your team score seven goals and still come away feeling unsatisfied. Six goals to the good at the break should mean a double digit victory right? Sadly the second half lacked the goals that the first had given us seeing just the solitary strike from Dayle Grubb to add to the goal that he scored in the first half. City should've had a penalty in the first minute when Joe Hanks cocked his leg to shoot but was impeded by a defender but a minute or so later he'd beaten the offside trap and fired home off of the far post. Dan Ball quickly made it two when he angled a shot into the roof of the net before a goalless ten minute wait was ended when Elis Watts curled a left footed bended inside the far post. Harry Pinchard squeezed on in off of the upright from outside the box before Ed Williams prodded home a loose ball after a goalbound shot was delfected his way and a minute later Dayle Grubb got the first of his brace in injury time. Unfortunately the second half yielded just the one goal; a fine finish from Grubb as City rung the changes by bringing on all of their substitutes. City : Thompson, Duffus, Ball, Williams, Pinchard (Burns 69), Grubb, Hanks (Smalley 64), Richards-Everton (Emmett 81), Dawson (Cross 59), Jemmett-Hutson, Watts (Crosbie 69). Marlow : Rhone, Oladunjoye, Hoath, Salmon, Ovenden, Curtis (Kelsea 62), Jallow, Nawaf, Maudner, Agar (Jack 79), Brown (Obodo 59). Sunday April 13th 2025   Taite Scheafer scored winner City staged a great comeback today to win 3-2 away at St Vallier in Bristol. Lauren Peck equalised from the penalty spot after Taite Scheafer had been fouled. But her goal was bookmarked between two for the home team. Substitute Sachi Kaneko-Grun got the second equaliser before Scheafer bagged the winner with minutes to go. City Women : Linteo, Mansell, Peck, Neall, Scheafer, M.Smith, Todd, Stichter, Grey, Gomez, Lasmarias. Subs - McAusland, Baldwin, Akkurt, Kaneko-Grun, Davis. Unfortunately the reserves fell to a 0-4 defeat away at Whitchuch in their cup semi-final. Two goals in the two minutes before the break did for their hopes. City Women Reserves : Hancock, Lewis, Ambrey, C.Gabb, Sterry, Johnson, Kantorowicz, Feighery, Clarke, Handisides, O'Neil. Subs - K.Smith, Ireland, Le Sueur, Chloe Day. Saturday April 12th 2025   Ronnie Newbery re-signed Another away game, another defeat. Not much else to write really. Despite reports of City playing well in the first half they couldn't make their mark with a goal and were punished in the second when Chertsey Captain Luke Robertson scored for the home side. The goal came a good thirty second after Joe Hanks had gone down with a suspected head injury yet play continued. I'm sure any fans who went wished they gone to nearby Thorpe Park instead. City : Thompson, Leadbitter, Duffus, Ball, Emmett, Dawson, Williams, Pinchard (Grubb 77), Watts (Jemmett-Hutson 74), Smalley (Cross 56), Hanks (Crosbie 86). Sub not used - Newbery. Chertsey Town : Strizovic, Collins, Fisher, Robertson, Duffy, Flanighan, Brown, Turner, Mazzone (Karczewski 86), McCoy, Lee. Subs not used - Little, Rogers, Birch, Young. Sunday April 6th 2025   Sachi Kaneko-Grun hat trick For the second time in two days Meadow Park saw an entertaining 3-3 draw. Royal Wootton Bassett Town Ladies took an early lead when City keeper Sam Linteo misjudged a corner and the ball was headed home. The Swindon team had had a chance to score prior to that when the referee awarded a free kick following a back pass, something you rarely see nowadys. However Sachi Kaneko-Grun levelled and then put City ahead but the away side turned the scoreline on it's head with a breakaway goal and then an unfortunate own goal by Linteo after a shot bobbled out of her hands. At that point City should've had two more Kaneko-Grun goals; one where she was wrongly ruled offside following up a Maggie Neall shot that had rattled the crossbar and then when her piledriver also hit the bar and bounced over the line and out but the referee rarely set foot outside the centre circle so was unable to away the goal. However Sachi finally got her hat trick with the equaliser three minutes from time. Three girls from the U16s were given debuts today; Naomi Baldwin, Neve McAusland and Immy Mansell. Immy's dad Richard played for City during the 2005/06 season and her uncle Lee was City Manager more recently. City : Linteo, Neall, Scheafer, Kaneko-Grun, Baldwin, McAusland, Todd, Stichter, Grey, Gomez, Davis. Subs - Randhawa, Lasmarias, Mansell, Peck, M.Smith. Photos Sachi is clearly onside (look at the shadows on the pitch) as Maggie Neall kicks the ball goalwards Saturday April 5th 2025   Joe Hanks saviour WOW! What an exciting finish to a game that was marred by a turgid City display in the first half. Joe Hanks came off of the bench to rescue a point and more importantly keep Dorchester equidistant from us in the table pretty much cementing our playoff place whilst a win for Havant & Waterlooville saw the Dorset fall out of them. Dorchester had taken a two goal lead into the break; a third minute goal tapped in after the returning Jared Thompson had saved a point blank effort however he could do nothing about a superb free kick that was their second. Despite City playing their own version of walking football Manager Mike Cook opted to keep the same eleven for the second half but when he finally did make a change Elis Watts pulled a goal back firing home the rebound after Harry Pinchard's shot was saved by the keeper. The away side restored their two goal lead before Liam Cross won a penalty which Hanks coolly finished to set up a thrilling climax as the same player equalised with a diving header after a bit of ping pong in the box. That felt like a win. City : Thompson, Leadbitter, Duffus, Ball (Emmett 72), Williams (Crosbie 90+3), Pinchard, Grubb (Cross 53), Richards-Everton, Dawson, Jemmett-Hutson (Smalley 53), Watts (Hanks 66). Sub not used - Burns. Dorchester : Lee, Dickson (Pardoe 83), Spetch (Turner 14), Haste, Buse, Moore, Ngalo, Roberts (Hutchinson 90+1), Fogden, Koszela (Daws 90+5), Gwengwe (Pitman 90+3). Friday April 4th 2025   Jaxson Hundt hat trick City's UDA Dev XI pulled off a stunning 10-1 win against their Newent Town counterparts at Meadow Park tonight. Caleb Thomas scored four goals whilst Jaxson Hundt got a hat trick. Captain Ty Lake finished the scoring. City : Reetz (Rodriguez 46), Alfred (Diaz 61), Caraftis (McDonald 62), Hundt, Jobe, Johnson, Lake, Moss (Marquez 19), Muir, Patterson (Worley 61), Thomas.
