Bilton Ajax 0 - 3 Leamington Juniors
First game of the season for Bilton and with 2 pre-season games in the last week resulting in victory Bilton’s confidence surely could not be higher, but with all that confidence they may have over looked the fact that the newly formed Leamington Juniors are a combination of 2 of last years top teams.
Right from the start Bilton were put on a back foot with a stream of attacks that kept nearly all the play in their own half and with two quick goals from the visitors Bilton were finding the game tough.
Finally Bilton found some form with a saved penalty and a shot on goal only to be kept out by the post but the first half ended 0-2.
The second half saw Bilton hitting the post again but Leamington still proved to be the stronger side and a third goal gave the visitors a comfortable win.

Snitterfield Colts 2 – 1 Bilton Ajax
A thrilling game from the start with two evenly matched teams, both showing great determination for the game along with good football.
With the teams so close in ability a high scoring game was not on the cards but it would eventually only take a drop in concentration from Bilton to put Snitterfield a goal up.
The second half saw much of the same good football with Bilton having most of the attacking moves, at last a string of passes all the way up the field put the ball at Blair Girvin’s feet to be clinically put away to bring the scores level.
It looked like the match was going to a draw but with under ten minutes to go Snitterfield broke through to put away their second which clinched the match but well done Bilton for a great entertaining game.

St Peters Celtic Colts 1-5 Bilton Ajax
After two hard games to start the season, both ending in defeat, it seemed that Bilton’s luck could finally change. St Peters had suffered heavy defeats in their last two games so Bilton’s confidence was high.
The first half quickly brought them back down to earth with St Peters battling all the way. Blair Girvin’s opening goal for Bilton was soon equalized by St Peters to leave the scores 1-1 at half time.
After the break Bilton really started to play football but this time St Peters could not raise their game. A hatrick from Charlie McQuillan with all three goals taken with absolute class and one more for Blair Girvin saw the game finish 5-1. Bilton have now tasted victory this season down to a great second half effort and quality finishing, well done lads.

Bilton Ajax 2 – 1 Hillmorton Juniors
First round of the league cup and local rivals Hillmorton were back with a vengeance after their pre-season defeat at home to Bilton.
The first half saw both teams evenly matched with chances at both ends but finally Hillmorton broke through the back four to put the visitors a goal up.
The second half saw much the same with Bilton being saved by the post and a goal mouth clearance but eventually their hard work paid off with a strike from Blair Girvin to put the scores even.
The last ten minutes were mostly Bilton’s with attack after attack and with time almost over a hand ball in Hillmorton’s box gave Bilton a penalty that would surely clinch the game. Blair Girvin coolly executed the kick to put Bilton ahead and finally end the game 2-1, so Bilton are through to the next round, bring it on.

Bilton Ajax 1 – 2 Central Ajax
Bilton knew that Sunday’s game was going to be one of their big tests of the season; Central Ajax had shown all summer that they had a formidable 11 a side squad to start the new season. The game started well with Bilton mainly defending but holding the visitors well, only a well taken goal by Central Ajax split the two teams at half time.
The second half saw Bilton raising their game with good attacking moves and strong defending but a long ball over Bilton’s defense found a lone striker that lobed the keeper to put them 2 goals up.
Bilton showed that like previous games that they don’t give up and the last ten minutes was mostly theirs and with a well taken goal by Blair Girvin the game finished a respectable 1-2.

Khalsa Juniors 3 – 3 Bilton Ajax Under 11s
Bilton’s first league game against the division 2 leaders turned out to be their most spectacular performance this season. After conceding an early goal against the home team it looked like Bilton were going to be the latest to add to Khalsa’s huge goal difference, not this time.
Bilton fought back with real determination and 2 great goals from Tom Jones and Blair Girvin saw the visitors 1-2 up at half time.
In the second half it was Khalsa that fought back, wave after wave of attacks which had Bilton pinned in their own half and finally 2 goals had Bilton trailing 3-2 with only a few minutes left. Bilton’s manager and coach took the gamble and changed to an attacking formation which resulted in a fast ball forward to finish with a great goal from Aidan Quinney to bring the final score to a well deserved draw. What a game.

Leamington Juniors 9 – 0 Bilton Ajax
Sunday afternoon saw Bilton suffer their worst defeat this season with Leamington totally ruling the game.
With only 2 goals down at half time, there was still a hope that Bilton could find their lacking form but 3 goals in under 5 minutes sealed the game with most of the second half still to play. Bilton hardly went through the motions for the remainder of the game and another 4 goals hardly seemed to matter.
Best forget about this one boys.

Bilton Ajax 8 – 0 St Peters Celtic
First game back after their biggest defeat 4 weeks ago and what a difference.
Bilton played with great confidence and control with all the team giving one hundred percent. A team formation of only three at the back put Bilton on the offensive for most of the game and it wasn’t long before Blair Girvin opened the scoring shortly followed by a 20 yard screamer from Sean Rye to put Bilton 2 up.
Harry Clay followed with a third to give the home side a comfortable lead at half time.
The second half was no different, Bilton on countless attacks whilst the defence comfortably dealing with any threats. Fourth on the score sheet was Tom Jones followed By Jack Smith to take it to five. Harry Clay’s second of the game made it six, Charlie Mc Quillan took it to seven and finally Blair Girvin wrapped up with his second to make it seven.
Great score line for a great game, well done.

Snitterfield Colts 5 – 3 Bilton Ajax
Playing with only ten men against a home team second in the league, this was never going to be easy. Snitterfield kept Bilton pinned in their own half with only a few short breaks of attacking football to give the visitors any hope, but with three first half goals for the Colts the game was going only one way.
The second half saw an amazing comeback for Bilton with three quick goals from Aidan Quinn, Blair Girvin and Mathew Court in under ten minutes, but the home team managed to dig in and after regaining their pace put another two goals past Bilton to seal the victory.

Sunday saw Bilton back in league action, and all who braved the cold weather were treated to a feast of goals. Ajax started brightly and were rewarded, after several attacks, with a trademark Blair Girvin strike. The pressure continued with Blair netting his second of the game midway through the half, however, the hosts fought back to leave the score 2-1 at the break. Ajax came out for the 2nd half full of confidence playing some fantastic attacking football eventually running out 10-2 winners.

Khalsa Juniors 0 – 11 Bilton Ajax
After last weeks comfortable win against Kenilworth Town, Bilton were hoping for another easy win in their draw in the second round of the league cup.
Although the first ten minutes were goalless Bilton finally started what was to be today’s “grab a goal” match with Blair Girvin opening the score. Just a few minutes later and Adam Cox netted followed by Charlie McQuillan, Jake Richardson and Blair Girvin’s second to put the visitors 5 goals up at half time.
Second half and Jack Smith stepped forward to take it to 6, Jake Richardson got his second of the game to make it 7 and still Bilton kept pushing, mainly because every player wanted his name on the goal sheet.
Mathew Court took it to 8 followed by Blair Girvin’s hatrick to make it 9.
Tom Clarkson’s goal put Bilton into double figures with Blair Girvin putting away his 4th to finally end the game at 11 goals to nil.

Khalsa Juniors 1 – 8 Bilton Ajax
On returning again to Khalsa juniors for their first game of 2009 Bilton were hoping for another easy win and they got just that.
Three goals in under five minutes from Tom Jones, Jack Bond and Aidan Quinn finished the home side before they could really get started.
Khalsa managed a few breaks but two goals from Charlie McQuillan and Jack Bond’s second finished the half at 0-6.
The second half started no different to the first with Charlie McQuillan getting his hatrick but Bilton did manage to lose concentration and conceded a well celebrated goal to Khalsa.
The game still carried on though with Bilton much the stronger side and with Jack Bonds third goal the game finished again a very convincing win for the visitors.

Sunday January 25th 2009
Wellesbourne 1 – 8 Bilton Ajax
Although as the score shows that Bilton were again under hardly any threat of losing this game, they really were a joy to watch. Their passing, defending and all other aspects was as good as they have ever played and of course the goals game as a result of this.
A first half hatrick from Jack Bond with other goals from Charlie McQuillan, Harry Clay and Blair Girvin had buried the game 0-6 by half time.
Bilton took their foot of the gas for the second half with some free running from the defenders who were loving it. A silly goal was conceded by the visitors but was soon forgotten after Blair Girvin Headed in his second and Jack Bond netted home his now becoming familiar fourth goal.

Bilton Ajax 1 – 9 Kenilworth Wardens
Bilton’s winning stake came to an end this week. Scoring 34 goals and only conceding 2 in their last 4 games it looked like 2009 was going to be a big year for Ajax, but a good performance from the league 1 title contenders proved too much for the home team and feeling of defeat was back on Bilton’s shoulders.
The game though was not all Kenilworth’s way with Bilton making some good attacking play in which they were rewarded with a great solo run and goal from defender Adam Cox. As like all other defeats, Bilton never gave up and took the game to Kenilworth for every minute of the game, as they always do against any good side, but this was always going to be a tough one and Bilton will not be too discouraged by it.

Bilton Ajax 3 – 1 Snitterfield Juniors
After a three week break due to the weather, Bilton returned with a great performance against Snitterfield who were one place above them in the league table.
Both teams started well with the visitors getting an early goal which never seemed to knock Bilton’s confidence, continued attacking moves with great passing kept Snitterfield under control and finally a solo run from Blair Girvin ended with a well placed goal to put the scores level.
More pressure from Bilton for the rest of the first half meant so many near misses but Adam Cox finally got the deserved second goal to put the home team ahead at half time.
With the wind behind them, Bilton controlled the second half but could not find the goal to put them in a more comfortable lead, finally a well taken free kick from Charlie McQuillan was flicked on by the head of Blair Girvin to give Bilton that much needed third goal and seal the game. Best performance this year, well done.

Wellesbourne 0 – 5 Bilton Ajax Under 11s
Once again Bilton returned to Wellesbourne to clinch another convincing win on a pitch which seems to allow them to play some great football.
Bilton’s vision in their passing with confidence on the ball and in tackles soon paid off with Jack Bond opening the scoring with a well battled goal, Blair Girvin soon followed with a cracking volley to make it two.
Tom Jones got himself on the score sheet with another great goal to go three up.
Sean Rye made easy work of a penalty, putting it past the keeper who earlier had made the best penalty save you will ever see in junior football from Blair Girvin’s spot kick.
Just as their last meeting, Bilton stepped off the gas a little in the second half holding the home team comfortably from scoring and with Sean Rye’s second goal of the match with only a few minutes left, the game finished a deserving 5 goals to nil.
Sunday March 8th 2009
Bilton Ajax 2 – 4 Khalsa Juniors Under 11s
This will be a game to remember for Bilton but only for the weather.
The game started with Jack Bond scoring the quickest goal of the season, just seconds into the game, but celebrations were cut short when Khalsa equalized just a few minutes later. The game was looking to be a real thriller after Tom Clarkson’s fantastic goal to put Bilton another goal up was again equalled by the visitors. But With a freezing wind followed by vicious hail storms, the young lads really suffered and so did their game. Khalsa managed to get a third to go ahead by half time and even praise and encouragement from their manager at the break could not lift their spirits which led them to be pinned in their own half for most of the remaining game. After many injuries and a fourth goal from Khalsa, the game ended with most players happy just to leave the field.
Sunday March 15th 2009
Bilton Ajax 4 – 2 Khalsa Colts Under 11s
Sunday saw another comfortable win for Bilton, although past scores against Khalsa have been higher, the home team was no less convincing.
Moving up to mid field, away from his familiar defensive position, Jack Smith found the net to open the scoring with Blair Girvin scoring soon after to go 2 up.
Jack Smith again proved to be stronger in the box to get his second of the game and when Adam Cox scored from the penalty spot to put Bilton four goals ahead, the game was sealed.
Khalsa managed to get a goal from a free kick shortly before the break and even managed the same in the second half but Bilton were never under any real threat and cruised for most of the game by just playing simple football.
Sunday March 22nd 2009
Snitterfield Juniors 3 – 3 Bilton Ajax Under 11s
Another thrilling game at the Snitterfield ground and an absolute joy to watch. Bilton were totally in control for the first 15 minutes but amazingly a single corner kick from Snitterfield found the net to put the home team ahead. Bilton were not fazed by the goal and with midfield winning just about everything it was not long before Blair Girvin equalized to bring the score level at half time.
The second half was just as good, Harry Clay was rewarded for great play on the wing by netting a lovely goal to put Bilton ahead, but suddenly 2 quick goals from Snitterfield put the visitors behind again.
The game kept entertaining with end to end football and finally Bilton got their reward with a late equalizer from Tom Jones to finish the game with a satisfying draw.
Sunday March 29th 2009
Kenilworth Wardens 3 – 0 Bilton Ajax
No bigger example of a home team advantage has been witnessed than on Sunday against Kenilworth. With the pitch not even two thirds the size of Bilton’s home ground, and most others come to that, the visitors never found their positional play plus ability to pass and find space. With all this in mind Bilton still looked the stronger side throughout the game but could not find the net. Kenilworth on the other hand took three goals from nowhere to clinch the game and leaving Bilton wondering how did they manage to lose this one.

Bilton Ajax 5-2 Kenilworth Wardens
In the return fixture of their previous game Ajax were out for revenge . Judging by their play it didn’t take much for the lads to get themselves up for this with some exciting attacking play and almost constant pressure in the opponents half . This was rewarded after countless near misses with a well taken goal from close range from Charlie Mcquillan . Half time came with the score 1-0 .
Ajax continued their dominance after the break with Blair Girvin getting his 1st of the match with a cool finish into the corner . Route 1 for the 3rd goal after a huge kick by goalkeeper Harry Dimmock was dispatched to give Blair his second of the game . The visitors fought back with 10 minutes of pressure which resulted in 2 quick goals , the 1st from the penalty spot . To relieve the pressure Blair completed his Hatrick with a powerful header from a corner and to cap an awesome performance Blair finished the game off with his 4th and Ajax's 5th , well done to all!!
