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.

Khalsa Juniors 0 – Bilton Ajax 11
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.
