Under 10s Mid-Warwickshire League 8th September 2007
Tazmanian Cruisers 4 v 2 Bilton Ajax
The new season was always going to be nothing short of a fresh start for Bilton under tens, with three of their key players from last season moving on to play football at a higher standard. Pre-season training, along with a few games in tournaments and friendly’s showed that the new line up still had match winning potential even with new players still to find their position within the team.
Saturday morning saw the under 10s with all the team spirit that was always so good to see at every game last year. They knew the Tazmanian Cruisers were going to be a tough game as they had just come down from last years 1st division.
The first half started with what looked to be an evenly matched game with Adam Cox holding off some well put together attacking moves from the Cruisers, but with about ten minuets gone, two quick goals saw Bilton trailing against a team that seemed to be getting stronger by the minute.
The under 10’s heads did not drop and pushed forward with Oliver Howes making his presence known on the right wing which resulted in a Blair Girvan trade mark beauty in the top left of the Cruisers goal.
2-1 down at half time and the game was up for grabs but the Cruisers came out stronger than ever punishing Bilton’s defenses yet again, their persistence was rewarded with another two quick goals but just like the first half Bilton kept pushing. It was now the Cruisers defense to feel the heat as a great shot from Charlie was tipped over the bar and more play was seen in their half of the pitch with Blair Girvan finally netting again. The last five minutes were mainly all Bilton’s but the goals just didn’t come.
At the final whistle Bilton were beaten but the game was certainly no Cruise for the Tazmanians.
Unlucky boys.

Bilton Ajax 4 - 1 Kenilworth Town
With last weeks defeat put behind them, Bilton started strong with what already looked like a more confident team than last week. With the Kenilworth defense under continuous attack, a deliberate hand ball gave Bilton a chance to take the lead from the penalty spot. Adam Cox did just that with a confident shot to the corner.
Bilton held the lead for the next ten minutes with some impressive play but Kenilworth’s persistence paid off when a shot found its way through three defenders and into Bilton’s net to put the scores even.
The second half saw some great football with Blair Girvan finding a new strike partnership in Harry Clay, and all our midfielders tracking back to cover for some brave goal keeping by Harry Dimmock.
Harry Clay’s skill on the right wing started opening up Kenilworth’s defense resulting in a powerful shot at the keeper which wasn’t held to give Blair Girvan an easy goal. A few minutes later and Harry did exactly the same, this time it was Ty Lancbury picking up the rebound and confidently placing it in the Kenilworth net.
With Bilton leading 3-1 the game was in the bag but Harry was not finished yet and with a lovely dribble past two defenders and a left footer beating the keeper on his near post he got the goal he well deserved.
The game ended 4-1 to Bilton, a well earned victory, nice one lads.

Snitterfield Colts 1 – 1 Bilton Ajax
With yet another new team for the under 10s to test, Bilton went out looking to build on last weeks winning performance, but straight from the kick off it was obvious that the two sides were evenly matched. With about twenty minutes gone Snitterfield were looking as if they had started to find their game and Bilton were under pressure, then out of the blue Matthew Court put a great ball through for Blair Girvin to strike and put Ajax a goal up.
At half time spirits were high in the Bilton camp but they now faced a second half against a team that surely thought they shouldn’t be a goal down. Bilton matched them with strength and aggression, not to the referee’s approval of course but suddenly a cross from Sitterfield’s left wing caught a Bilton players foot and an own goal put the scores even.
The game swung from end to end for the remaining twenty minutes with nothing between the two sides. Ty Lantsbaury played a good role as left midfield whilst Jack Smith showed he had not lost his knack in perfectly timed tackles.
The game finished all square at 1-1 with two happy teams and an exhausted referee. Well done lads, (and ref).

Bilton Ajax 3 – 6 Central Ajax
The first half showed a slow start from Bilton with Central Ajax taking full advantage, especially their number 10. After an early goal putting the visitors ahead, Bilton’s confidence looked to be dropping by the minute but finally a superb shot from Charlie McQuillan could not be held by Central’s keeper and Blair Girvin took full advantage to put the scores even.
Unfortunately Bilton did not build on the equalizer and Central Ajax kept pushing forward against an unstable home side, within minutes they had scored another 2 goals and Bilton were 1 - 3 down. A Gutsy first half performance from Thomas Pope kept Bilton’s right wing moving and with a cross from Blair Girvin, Charlie McQuillan struck with his awesome left foot to put the scores 2- 4 at half time.
After strong words at half time from team manager Adam (Cloughy) McQuillan, Bilton went out with a changed side provoking an all out attack, but that it certainly was not. Central Ajax were not shaken and notched another 2 goals to seal the game, a quick break from Bilton shortly before the end of the game gave Blair Girvin his second goal and put the score at 3-6, but at the final whistle Bilton walked from the field Knowing they could have done better.

Bilton Ajax 3 – 2 Admirals Green
A week on from their below standard performance against Central Ajax and it was obvious the under 10’s wanted to show themselves and their manager what they were capable of.
The best first half performance of the season so far saw Bilton keep a relentless pace against the visitors with Blair Girvin netting first to build the Ajax spirits even higher. Mathew Court played an excellent role as sweeper working well with Goal keeper Harry Dimmock to hold off any attacking play from the Admirals, whilst at the other end 2 great goals from Blair Girvin and Harry Clay put Ajax 3 – 0 up at half time.
The crowd lined themselves up on the side line to hopefully witness another goal fest but they were soon hushed when 2 quick goals from the Admirals put the visitors straight back in the game. Bilton looked to be on the back foot for a brief period but showed great determination in not letting the Admirals spirits go too high and by stepping up a gear for the last ten minutes they prevented the Admirals achieving a great come back.
The game finished a very satisfying 3 – 2 to Bilton.
Under 10s 13th October 2007 Mid Warks League
Bilton Ajax 1 v 3 Norton Lindsey
As with all early season games, this was another test for Bilton against a team who they had not yet played with their current line up, but with spirits high from last weeks win and knowing Norton’s similar match stats, Saturday’s game should have been an even battle.
For the first half is certainly was that, entertaining, end to end football with good chances from both sides. Bilton used the wings well with Harry Clay on the right and Charlie McQuillan on the left. Midfield were again strong with Adam Cox and Jack Smith working together to look quite formidable at times and as last week Mathew Court showing he’s the man for sweeper.
It was easy to see this game was never going to be goalless and it was the visitor’s attack that finally broke the deadlock to go a goal up, but no sooner had they stopped celebrating, a great ball straight from the whistle by Blair Girvin put Harry Clay through to net the quickest of all equalizers.
Half time saw the scores even and the game anybody’s but the second half was different.
Bilton had lost their momentum and at times looked to be lacking in confidence and strength, what seemed to be constant attacking play from Norton soon put them in the lead with a third to follow within minutes.
Changes were made by Bilton to try and get the first half form back but Norton were now too strong. Bilton held out for the remainder of the game but a disappointing defeat at the final whistle.

Bilton Ajax 1 – 7 Tazmanian Cruisers
Saturday morning saw the under 10’s suffer their biggest defeat of the season so far. With an incredibly slow start, even by Bilton’s Standards, the Tazmanians were soon a goal up and kept a strong pace to put them in a comfortable 4 goal lead by half time.
The second half did look a bit more manageable for Bilton as they kept the Cruisers onslaught at bay, for a while at least. A great set-piece corner between Charlie McQuillan and Harry Clay ended with Blair Girvin putting Ajax on the score board. The celebrations were soon silenced by a further 3 goals from the Tazmanians to give them a well deserved 1 – 7 victory, but credit must be given to Bilton for not letting their heads drop against a team that were clearly of a higher standard, and with Harry Dimmock’s valiant performance to keep the score out of double figures.
17th November 2007
Kenilworth Wardens 1 - 6 Bilton Ajax
Saturday morning saw Bilton give a performance to surpass any this season.
With the switch in positions of Jack Smith and Mathew Court now beginning to take effect, Bilton were giving the Wardens a hard time from the start.
The goals started to come with a long range free kick From Blair Girvin beautifully placed in the top corner and then with a set piece corner using Ty Lantsbury, Blair netted his second.
The second half started with some pressure from Kenilworth and they were soon rewarded with an early goal but Bilton responded well. Strong defending and pin point passing made the visitors unbeatable; Ty Lantsbury got his much deserved goal making it 1-3, then 2 in quick succession from Charlie McQuillan put the game beyond reach for the Wardens. The last goal went to Harry Clay after a great run and first class through ball from Ty. The final score of 1-6 was justifiable, Bilton’s beast performance of the season, well done lads.

Bilton Ajax 1 – 2 Tazmanian Cruisers
With confidence riding high after last weeks 6 – 1 victory, Bilton were up for a game against the Tazmanians. This was clearly shown from the whistle with the home side matching the Cruisers man for man in all aspects of the game. The Tazmanians strong attacking was kept at bay by good performances from defenders Jack smith and Adam Cox but the Cruisers made easy work of picking up a short goal kick and netting the ball to put them a goal up at half time.
Bilton started the second half just as strong as the first and it wasn’t long before Blair Girvin used his strength on the ball to go through the Tazmanians defense and score to put the game level. The Cruisers managed to step up their game and were soon rewarded by another goal and with confidence riding high the attacks kept coming, but a solid performance by goal keeper Harry Dimmock along with great commitment by the rest of the team kept the final score a respectable 1-2 to the Cruisers.

Kenilworth Town 2 – 5 Bilton Ajax
Going into the second half of the season, it is easy to notice the vast improvement in Bilton from their early season games. Saturday again saw the visitors bursting with confidence and setting the pace for the rest of the game. A goal each from Charlie McQuillan, Harry Clay and new arrival Lloyd Russell put Bilton in a formidable 0-3 lead at half time.
The second half was equally entertaining and it wasn’t long before Alex Lovelock, in his first game since returning to Bilton, struck from long range to put Bilton 4 goals up.
Kenilworth put up a good battle at times and were rewarded with 2 goals but not before Harry Clay scored his second to make the final score 2-5 to Bilton.

Central Ajax 2 – 2 Bilton Ajax
Saturday’s game turned out to be full of surprises for both teams. With the home team sitting much higher up the league table and comfortable wins against Bilton in the past, a win for Central Ajax should have been a fore gone conclusion.
From the whistle Central Ajax attacked well but was met with an organised and determined Bilton defence which held strong for the whole game, 15 minutes into the game the home team managed to break through and score to put them a goal up. Bilton came back even stronger and were rewarded with a penalty which Blair Girvin netted comfortably. 1 – 1 at half time and the game was up for grabs, Bilton kept up the pace in the second half and were soon rewarded from a great piece of team play that found Alex Lovelock in space to go on and score a great goal, Bilton held the lead for the next ten minutes but a small error again gave the home team the chance they needed to bring the scores level. The game ended a satisfying 2 – 2 draw for Bilton with full credit going to Jack Smith and his relentless defending, great game lads.

Bilton Ajax 0 – Admirals Green 3
First game back from the Christmas break and Bilton’s under 10’s all turned up looking hungry for a game, but from the whistle it was obvious that something was lacking. With a first half that saw few chances at either end and the teams looking equally matched, no score at the break was no surprise.
A goal was needed in the second half to break the deadlock but unfortunately it was conceded by Bilton and although some attacking moves worked well, a strong Admirals defense kept Ajax goalless.
To make matters worse the visitors managed to get 2 more goals to finish the game a very disappointing 0 – 3.

Norton Lindsey 2 – 0 Bilton Ajax
This was never going to be an easy one for Bilton against a home team much higher up the league table, but the first half saw good football from both teams in what was turning out to be a close cut game. Neither team seemed to be able to break the dead lock and so the first half ended goalless.
The second half was always going to be tough, up hill and against the wind. Bilton were finding it increasingly harder to get the ball up the field and with ten minutes gone a seemingly simple ball forward found a Norton striker who scored to put the home side a goal up. The rest of the half turned out to be hard work for Bilton who could not keep Norton at bay so it was only a matter of time before the home team netted their second to put the game beyond reach.

Bilton Ajax 0 – 6 Snitterfield Colts
After a couple of friendly’s which have ended in defeat for Ajax. Saturdays league game against the team which Bilton held to a one all draw away looked to be just what they needed. But it didn’t turn out that way, to say the least.
A much improved Snitterfield side shook the home team early in the first half and kept Bilton on a back foot for the rest of the game.
With the first half score at 0-3 there was still a glimmer of hope in the home side as the wind would be in their favor for the second half but another three goals from Snitterfield put the game beyond reach with the game ending in Bilton’s heaviest league defeat this season.

St Peters Celtic 3 – 2 Bilton Ajax
Bilton’s last league game of the season turned out to be one of the most exiting this year. As expected St Peters started strong but were equally matched by a very determined Bilton.
St Peters were the first to score but Bilton kept with the pace and in no time a well battled attack gave Shaun Rye his first goal of the season. St Peters went ahead again with a well taken short corner to be headed home to put them 2 -1 up at the break.
The second half saw St Peters put the pressure on Bilton once more with goal keeper Harry Dimmock saving a volley of shots to keep the visitors in the game but one great strike found the net to increase the lead to 3-1, but Bilton did not give in and shortly before the final whistle a well deserved goal from Blair Girvin put the final score at a respectable 3-2, unlucky lads, great game.
