Bilton Ajax 1 – 2 Kenilworth Town U10’s

Sponsored by Stanbridge Motors

Saturday 18th September 2010

The game kicked off with Kenilworth straight on the attack and it seemed they were not going to go down without a fight. Ajax starting seven spent a great deal of time defending which pushed Jack and Arron to the limit and caused Olli to make some cracking saves. Balls played up the lines by Olli Coop and Harry were just being intercepted by a strong line of Kenilworth defence. Lewis Cleary working well in central defence and played good passes up the middle of the pitch. Liam Hearne our striker managed to break thought a few times but was unable to find the back of the net. Kenilworth were the first team to score and the goal was simple and came from nowhere. Harry Coulthard equalised before half time and we started attacking a lot stronger. The half time whistle came with the scores 1-1. 

The second half kicked off and we pulled ourselves together a bit and started playing some good football, 10 mins into the second half Matty Zeall, Reef Spencer and Lewis Holtom were brought on and we continued to try and get another goal past Kenilworth. 5 mins later George Oakes, Aidan Hobley and Bradley Parsons were brought on and we suddenly woke up a bit and started putting some shots on target. an injury to Lewis Holtom saw that Liam Hearne came back on for the last 7 minutes and did all he could to try and get us another goal. 2 mins before final whistle Kenilworth got another goal making it 2-1. All players were exceptional and Harry Coulthard received man of the match. Well done guys, it was a good result.

Banbury Irish Celts 0 – 12 Bilton Ajax U10’s

Saturday 25th September 2010

At 10:30 Saturday morning we had no idea how the game was going to sway, our starting line-up saw Olli Oldham, Jack College, Arron Dhokia, Lewis Cleary, Oliver Coop, Harry Coulthard and Liam Hearne all getting ready to kick off.

The first 10 minutes were equal with both teams defending and attacking well. Our first goal came from Lewis Cleary from a long range shot leaving Banbury Irish Celts shocked and confused as to wear it came from.

Banbury kicked off from the centre and Liam Hearne was straight to the ball winning it from the feet of the two Banbury players, and a handful of passes later and Liam Hearne had netted Ajax's second goal. 

While parents on the respect lines were amazed at being 2-0 up Ajax scored another goal from our defender Arron Dhokia to make it 3-0. 

The last ten minutes of the first half and Ajax were at the top of their game running the ball through Banbury and making one touch passes.

Harry Coulthard scored Ajax's 4th goal and we thought it could not get any better, with the smile still on his face Harry then scored his second goal making the score 5-0 then the half time whistle came.

At half time Harry, Jack, Oliver and Arron came off. George Oakes, Bradley Parsons, Aidan Hobley and Lewis Holtom were brought on.

the second half kicked off with Ajax straight on the attack and out of nowhere Ajax scored a great goal from George Oakes making it 6-0.

Banbury at this point were still battling hard but were no match for a strong Ajax side that were almost reading each others minds as to where they wanted the ball passed to them.

George Oakes then scored his second goal making it 7-0.

At this point I actually thought that this will be it or Banbury will score, could we possibly score anymore, and the answer was yes as Liam Hearne netted his second goal making the score 8-0.

Liam Hearne was the brought off for Harry Coulthard and Oliver Coop was also brought back on. Minutes later and Oliver Coop netted a great goal and it was shortly followed with another one from Oliver Coop making the score 10-0.

Banbury were still battling hard and had a few breaks but Olli Oldham our goal keeper was quick to the ball kicking it down the field to our strikers.

Ajax's next goal came from a great run from Bradley Parsons which i believe was his first goal for Ajax, so well done Bradley.

In the last few minutes Banbury were still impressing us with their commitment not to give up but this didn’t stop Harry Coulthard scoring his third goal making the score 12-0.

The final whistle came and the players shook hands and cheered each other. Oliver Coop received man of the match, well done Bilton Ajax, and well done to Banbury Irish Celts for not giving up and keeping your heads up.

Saturday 2nd October 2010

What a pleasure to witness this game, Ajax from the outset played lovely flowing passing football. This time last season the young Ajax team could not buy a win and now they look a completely different team. First half goals from Harry Coulthard, Olly Coop and an Own goal left Ajax playing a second half with no worries Olli Oldham in goal had very little to do all game but when he was called on he responded by staying strong. A further goal from Liam Hearne sealed the 3 points.

Bilton Ajax 3- 0 Norton Lindsey

Saturday 9th October 2010

An early kick off against Norton Lindsey saw the starting seven get ready for a brilliant game of football. Both teams looked good on the ball and Ajax were passing and moving into space really well. 

The game was a pleasure to watch as Ajax were playing one touch football with a number of shots being created, but the Norton Lindsey players were not prepared to concede a goal. Every time we had a shot on goal there was always at least 4 Norton Lindsey players on the goal line making it nearly impossible to score.

the second half kicked off and it was still 0-0 and we were determined to score, Ajax were still moving the ball around well finding space and connecting passes. At this point i was starting to think we were never going to score and in the same breath Harry Coulthard found the back of the net making it 1-0.

The second Ajax goal come from an own goal which was firstly hit by Oliver Coop but he did go on to score which again making the final score 3-0. It was a brilliant game to watch and man of the match went to Lewis Holtom for an excellent spell in defence. Another 3 points for Bilton Ajax, well done.

Warwick were strong on the ball and with a good striker Warwick had already had their fair share of breaks but were greeted by the Ajax defence and Olli Oldham our goal keeper. After endless trying Warwick went 1-0 up and it was shortly followed by another.

Ajax continued to attack and Lewis Cleary’s long range shot was smashed into the cross bar. Half way into the first half saw another goal from Warwick making it 3-0. Heads still held high Ajax continued to battle with great support from the side-lines.

After another long range shot Lewis Cleary’s left foot drove the ball into the back of the net and was shortly followed by a great run and goal form Matty Zeall.

An own goal form Ajax brought the half time score to 4-2

After a positive team talk and new players introduced Ajax were on the attack to try and win this game, Harry Coulthard finding the post twice and Oliver Coop playing balls threw Warwick’s defence meant Ajax were on the comeback. a great goal from Harry Coulthard put the score to 4-3 and Ajax were back in the running and Warwick new we had the potential to turn this game around. 

Unfortunately Warwick went on to score another 2 goals in quick concession making the final score 6-3.
