Bilton Ajax u11’s 0 – 8 Stratford Wanderers
September 13th 2009
An eleventh hour change of venue didn’t help pre-match preparation for the first game of the season. Ajax began well but Stratford scored three goals midway through the half, although two were aided by massive deflections. A fourth goal heralded half time. Wanderers added two more goals early on in the second half, the latter being a superb strike. Bilton then began to play and Louis Roberts saw a run and shot bobble the wrong side of the post, before a rising drive from Ciaran Dempsey went narrowly over. Stratford added two further late goals to confirm their superiority. A better second half effort from Ajax was encouraging as was the form and handling of Keeper, Jack Unett who excelled. Wanderers showed the benefit of pre-season matches being sharper all round than Ajax. MOTM- Louis Roberts.

Whitnash 9 - 0 Bilton Ajax
September 20th 2009
On a warm day under strength Ajax caught a cold conceding 3 goals in the first ten minutes. The Bilton side then got a foothold in the game, Louis Roberts twice being denied by the Whitnash keeper, before the home side added a spectacular fourth against the run of play.
Whitnash began the second half like the first scoring 3 quick goals with Ajax reduced to 10 players through injury. Bilton battled well, particularly Fabrizio Pagliarini in midfield. Troy Loveridge carved out chances for James Hudson and Aurelian Adelmant who were both denied by rugged Whitnash defending. Two late goals were harsh on Bilton especially William Costello who had a fine game.
MOTM-William Costello.

Norton Lindsey Colts 10 - 0 Bilton Ajax
October 11th 2009
The score line was a complete injustice to Ajax who created plenty of chances but failed to find the back of the net. The first twenty minutes saw nothing between the teams before Colts took the lead with a shot from outwide. Individual defensive lapses then cost Ajax any hope of the game. However, the players kept their heads up and James Hudson fired narrowly wide from distance before Louis Roberts brought a double save from the NLC keeper. Despite the creativity of Will Miller and Max Wilkins Ajax could not find the net and went close late on through the industrious Fabrizio Pagliarini and Quincy Garcia .
The effort the lads put in helped to create an enjoyable game for all, the results will come providing you play the rest of the season with that spirit.

Bilton Ajax 0 – 7 Central Ajax
Sunday 18th October
An entertaining game saw Central run out clear winners by the final whistle.
A closely contested first half saw Central have more possession with Bilton playing on the break. Central took the lead just before half time scoring at the near post, just after Bilton were denied by a dubious offside flag.
Bilton began the second half in determined fashion but two moments of defensive hesitation put the game beyond their reach. Central had a penalty rebound off the post before scoring 4 times late on. Bilton had a number of injuries and tiredness took its toll. A good effort lads against a solid team, but there is still plenty of hard work to do.
MOTM.... Fabrizio Pagliarini.

Rugby Iax 20 – 0 Bilton Ajax
Sunday 1st November 2009
The score line was totally irrelevant as 9-man Ajax were on a loser from the start against an 11-man side. The players who turned up can be proud of the battling display they put on creating a handful of quality chance, just falling short with the decisive finish. Stand in keeper Aurélien Adelmant made an excellent penalty save, clinging on to a well struck penalty. Fabrizio Pagliarini went close twice created by his own tenacity and a last ditch tackle denied Ciaran Dempsey who was lively throughout. Tom Dunkley battled well all afternoon and a good defending prevented him from capitalising twice on a Troy Loveridge corner and cross. Some good football was played by both sides and hopefully Ajax will not be playing light again this season can start getting positive results.

Radford Semele 5 – 0 Bilton Ajax
Sunday 8th November 2009
A lively physical encounter saw Radford run out eventual winners. The first half was end to end with Radford scoring from distance and a goalmouth scramble to lead 2- 0 at half time. Ajax came out strongly in the second half and took the game to Radford. Ben Carew thought he had reduced the arrears but his goal was ruled out for a foul on the Radford Keeper. Etienne Callaghan and Ciaran Dempsey went close for Bilton before the latter was incorrectly flagged for offside when clean through on goal. With Will Miller and Fabrizio Pagliarini controlling midfield Ajax were denied in three more goalmouth melee’s before Radford broke away to score three more goals in the last 10 minutes. This was harsh, especially on Keeper Jack Unett, who pulled off some excellent stops.
MOTM; Ben Carew.

Bilton Ajax 0 – 7 Khalsa
Sunday 15th November 2009
Ajax made a dreadful start conceding 3 goals in the opening 10 minutes. However they battled back with Louis Roberts pace and Troy Loveridges’ creativity causing the Khalsa defence problems. Both were denied by desperate defending. The fourth goal conceded just before half time was harsh on Ajax who had a number of players in unfamiliar positions. Khalsa began the second half strongly and only the confident Keeping of Jack Unett stopped them scoring more than 2 further goals. After a further reshuffle due to an injury to the improved Dominic Wilkins another goal was conceded before Bilton finished strongly with Louis and Troy being at the forefront of their best moves. We need better concentration at the back from the start if we are to progress, however there were encouraging performances by first season players Aurelien Adelmant and James Hudson.

Bilton Ajax 1 – 3 Banbury Irish
Sunday 29th November 2009
The goals in this game came in a 5 minute spell either side of half time. Irish took the lead against the run of play before Ajax restored parity, a pinpoint Troy Loveridge corner being drilled home by Max Wilkins. Banbury caught the Ajax defence napping from the restart to take a 2-1 lead into half time. Irish scored a third poking home a free kick early into the second half to conclude scoring. Ajax went close on numerous occasions, Louis Roberts beating goalie and unfortunately past to an Etienne Callaghan corner. Bilton dominated play with Fabrizio Pagliarini and Tom Dunkley controlling midfield play did everything but score again. Strong tackling from the impressive James Hudson and cultured defending from Jack Unett ensured Irish had no further chances. This sort of effort is required every week if we are to improve.
MOTM: Max Wilkins

Central Ajax 7 -2 Bilton Ajax
Sunday 24th January 2010
An early kick off caught the Bilton defence still sleeping conceding an unfortunate own goal and 2 others with only a Ben Carew effort deflected wide in the first 20 minutes. Central added 2 more goals before half time. The second half saw a resurgent Bilton with the pace of strikers Josh Billington and Louis Roberts causing problems in the home defence. Both shot wide before Louis latched onto a William Miller pass and finished emphatically. Ciaran Dempsey doubled Biltons score with a powerful drive after good work from Josh. Bilton tried hard to increase their tally but conceded 2 further goals in the last few minutes as they tired on a heavy pitch.
A good effort against a quality team.

Khalsa 6- 2 Bilton Ajax
Sunday 7th February 2010
An entertaining game was decided by Khalsa's superior physical advantage. Bilton began slowly conceding a soft goal, and two good ones in the first quarter. The introduction of Dominic Wilkins back from injury steadied the ship and his excellent tackling and distribution propelled Ajax forward and both strikers were denied by acrobatic goalkeeping. A soft fourth goal was conceded by Bilton before half time. In the second half Ajax dominated possession and were rewarded when Fabrizio Pagliarini scored before Khalsa added a fortuitous fifth. Bilton continued pressing and Josh Billington finished a good move with an angled shot to reduce the arrears. Khalsa's keeper then denied Fabrizio with a superb save and performed well to prevent Ajax increasing their score before Khalsa added a sixth in the dying minutes. A good effort Ajax, everyone competed well especially the industrious James Hudson and man of the match Fabrizio Pagliarini

Bilton Ajax 1 – 0 Norton Lindsey Colts
Sunday 14th February 2010
A game of few chances saw Ajax register their first win of the season. Defences dominated only a fine save from the visitors keeper denied the impressive Etienne Callaghan giving Bilton the lead from a free kick before a pinpoint Fabrizio Pagliarini shot put Ajax ahead in a period before half time when they controlled the play. The second half saw the Ajax defence hold firm as Norton threatened without troubling keeper Jack Unett, the visitor’s only chance blazed over. Bilton created chances of their own but failed to increase their tally. A great effort by all the squad to gain a deserved victory especially Ben Carew and man of the match Harrison Jupp.

Bilton Ajax 5 - 1 Woodford United U11’s
Sunday 7th March 2010
Ajax continued their improvement with a deserved win against a resolute Woodford side. Josh Billington hit the bar before he opened the scoring for Ajax with Louis Roberts adding a second firing home a rebound. Louis and Josh both scored again as Bilton dominated the first half. Woodford were more determined in the second half and fine goalkeeping stopped Bilton increasing their lead before Daniel Cole blasted home a loose ball. With fine defending from the back four and the excellent tackling of James Hudson and creativity of Troy Loveridge Ajax should have scored more although Fabrizio Pagliarini rattled the bar before Woodford scored a deserved consolation from distance. An excellent performance from the whole Ajax squad on duty.
MOTM the whole squad.

Bilton Ajax 0 -1 Radford Semele Rangers
Sunday 14th March 2010
A windy day saw a physical encounter between two closely matched sides. Ajax wind behind their backs couldn't penetrate a solid Radford defence and had to rely on their own defenders William Costello, Ben Carew, Harrison Jupp, the Wilkins twins and keeper Jack Unett to ensure parity at half time. Radford with wind assistance began the second half well and after five minutes scored the decisive goal a miscued shot that bobbled in. Ajax responded well AA creating opportunities that weren't taken and Etienne Callaghan being denied by good defending. In a tense finale Louis Roberts was thwarted by a last ditch tackle as was Troy Loveridge by an alert onrushing keeper. Radford's goalie then kept out both Bilton strikers as Ajax couldn't get the draw they richly deserved. A plucky performance that was worthy of a point.

Bilton Ajax 1 – 9 Rugby Iax
Sunday 20th March 2010
Bilton started sluggishly and were fortunate to only concede 3 times in a first half that Iax dominated. Ajax did equalize midway through the half Aurelein Adelmant firing home at the far post following a Josh Billington free kick. The second half was a much more competitive affair the difference between the teams being Iax converted their chances whereas Ajax failed to apply a decisive finish to any of their opportunities. More endeavour required Ajax if you are to rediscover your recent good form thus ensuring a strong finish to the season.

Kenilworth Warden Colts 4 – 2 Bilton Ajax
Sunday 28th March 2010
Ajax contrived to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. A positive start saw Ciaran Dempsey shoot Bilton in front after Aurelien Adelmant's trickery. Wardens levelled in their only attack of the half before Fabrizio Pagliarini hit the post after good work from William Costello. Fabrizio then converted a James Hudson pass to give Ajax an interval lead. Wardens equalised early in the second half and scored a third aided by uncertain defending. Etienne Callaghan went close to an equaliser before a fine free kick increased Wardens advantage. An interchange between Troy Loveridge and Josh Billington saw the latter hit the upright but although dominating Ajax didn't score again despite the promptings of Max Wilkins. Whilst laying siege to Wardens goal the refs watch sprang forward BST + 5 minutes, the game ending inexplicably early.
MOTM Ciaran Dempsey.

Bilton Ajax 1 – 2 Kenilworth Warden Colts
Sunday 18th April 2010
Ajax were unfortunate not too share the spoils in an entertaining game. A lively opening saw Josh Billington fire over before he converted a long Jack Unett goal kick at the second attempt to put Bilton ahead. The impressive Max Wilkins went close from distance before Wardens equalised with their first notable attack on the stroke of half time. Bilton began the second half well Louis Roberts setting up Josh to go close before Kenilworth floated an attempted cross into the Ajax net. Spurred on by the pace and skills of Etienne Callaghan Bilton tried in vain to restore parity Ciaran Dempsey being denied by good goalkeeping, before the final whistle ended proceedings with Ajax camped in the opposition half. A fine effort by both teams - unlucky Ajax.
