Played three, won three. No wonder there were plenty of happy faces after the Colts kept up their unbeaten league run on Sunday. The 5-0 victory was well-deserved with the Stripes taking their chances after some excellent work going forward. Bouchez got the home side off to a flying start. Kearley worked himself some space in the box and after his drive was blocked, the left midfielder followed up to scramble the rebound home. Churchman and Kearley soon began to dominate the central midfield area, spreading the ball well to the flanks to allow Bouchez and Creegan to make some strong runs and put in some testing crosses. When Walcountians did get forward, they found defenders Power and Abbasi in excellent form, both putting in some well-timed tackles and covering each other well. On the few occasions that the visitors managed to threaten, Thornton, replacing the absent Hogan in goal, was alert to the danger and his long kicks set up a number of chances for the Colts. Churchman made it 2-0 just before half-time, hitting a swerving shot with the outside of his right foot into the corner of the net. Rondeau came on at the interval and the substitute quickly claimed his first goal for the club – his cross took a deflection and the spinning ball slipped through the keeper’s fingers into the net. Kearley almost made it four when his drive thumped the post but he got on the score sheet a few minutes later when the Colts were awarded a penalty for handball. Although Kearley’s spot-kick hit the post, he fired in the rebound. Rondeau got his second of the match in the closing stages, sweeping home Bouchez’s cross at the far post to cap another great performance from the Colts.

This was a close encounter and the score does not truly reflect the balance of play. The Colts started the sharper and could have easily been two goals up within the first few minutes but the chances were missed without troubling the Eagles’ keeper. It was after one such opportunity that the Eagles broke quickly and scored at the opposite end. With the Colts always willing to attack, an equalizer looked likely but a well taken goal by the Eagles’ striker left the Colts 2-0 down at half time. With a tactical reshuffle and substitutions of which Mourinho would have been proud the Colts looked eager after the break and were rewarded with a composed finish by Russell after a neat interplay. The Colts pressed hard for an equaliser but were caught out by another quick Eagles break-out into attack and unjustly found themselves 3-1down. Despite some heroic goalkeeping by George, including a penalty save, the Colts fell further behind as the Colts pushed up in search of goals. By the end the Colts were disappointed at having lost their 100% record but they were not dejected, and nor should they be – it was a thrilling end to end match with much to build on for the remainder of the season. Well done!  .  
 

After a 10-0 victory last week in the cup, we went into the game on a high but this time against much tougher opposition. Esher started the better, giving our boys a real test, but we battled well and Bryan outstanding in goal and Harry and Michael in defence kept us in the game With no real clear chances at either end half time was upon us 0-0. Second half Early in the second half Esher got a corner; a well placed corner we did not deal with, was knocked in from close range 0-1. But we did not drop our heads and kept battling. The longer the game went on we started getting into the game more. Creating chances, looking the better side we got a throw in which Casey took ,along one into the box which got knocked on to JJ who hit a low shot into the corner of the net 1-1. Back in the game and looking the better side we had chances to win, but with time running out the game finished a fair result 1-1. A good point earned against a good side, keep up the hard work well done.

Looking at the score above and taking into account the fact we let a 2-0 lead slip you would think I would be disappointed, not a bit of it, I am so proud of the boys I hope the following report can do justice to it. We scored two wonderful goals made by great pass and move football, the opener by Tommy (his first of the season) in the first half, the second by Luke not long after the break. We were then pegged back from a header off a corner and following that we then failed to deal with loose ball in the box. Those two sentences fail to cover the end to end, cut and thrust of this encounter with a very accomplished Epsom team. I decided to change the shape of the side today and asked the boys prior to kick off to try and keep their shape and try to be as disciplined in their play as possible and try and use the ball as positively as they could and they surpassed my expectations. From back to front we were outstanding with Alfie in goal pulling of heroic saves time and time again with his sharp reflexes and great positioning all complimented by his excellent use of the ball, his skipper Chin in front was immense mopping up when necessary crunching into tackles when need be and remaining cool under fire giving an example to his team-mates. I decided to play Ben along side him at the back and he never let me down with an as accomplished a performance you would wish to see from a player at this age group dealing with everything with calm assurance and determination. I moved Charlie into the “Maka” role and he was outstanding breaking up threats and spring boarding us on the counter attack with his driving runs or quick use of the ball, I rotated my wingers constantly during the game as they had to cover the most ground but Luke, Tommy and Owen did us proud with their thrusting runs and intelligent use of the ball, up front playing the target man role with aplomb was Daniel returning after injury, his hold up play was magnificent, his skill level was of the highest order and when his sharpness returns he will cause lots of teams trouble in this division. Our unused sub was Luke D whose constant support for his team mates does him proud, unfortunately it was to tight a game to get him involved but his chance will come- hang in there Luke. All of these boys deserve a big pat on the back, to produce such a performance, with so little experience behind them is great credit to them and as they play more they’ll learn more. Add in the hard work in practice sessions and they’ll be a very good team indeed. Well done boys I’m very proud of you all.

Firstly welcome back to Ryan Lee and well done to the Terror’s for their first win of the season. The boys had to deal with lots of pressure in the first half, but with stout defending from the twins Mark And Jamie with George, Rivaldo, Kieran, Ryan, Tyriee, Pryass all throwing themselves into tackles and fighting for the cause, add in exceptional goalkeeping by Adam we managed to get to half time 0-0. It wasn’t long into the second half the boys hard work started to pay dividends, we started to push Esher on to the back foot and were soon rewarded with a goal from Adam shortly followed by an own goal with a third added before the final whistle. This first victory was a team effort and thoroughly deserved. Keep it up boys Sham

The Colts continued their unbeaten start to the season with a comprehensive victory over AFC Walcountians. A superb performance by all the team with practically every player getting on the score sheet. In attack we created numerous chances with the ball being played out wide with crosses coming in from Adam and the new boy on his debut, Sacha. Sacha on his debut scored a hat trick with one memorable goal being a dazzling run from the halfway line. George also scored a hat trick with his left foot. The Coach would like to see him score one with his right in the future. Adam and Ben both scored two goals and Russell, Kieran and Alfie all scoring one. Kieran’s goal being the best of the match after a fantastic team move resulting in Alfie getting on a cross from the right from Adam.

Special mention must also be made of Reuben who returned in defence and was as solid as normal but was masterly in his distribution, creating attacking moves with defence splitting passes from the back. He even nearly scored after running the length of the field with the ball. All in all a very good performance albeit against a very weak team and with Alex coming back next week after a weeks rest we will I am sure put up a very stern test against the Epsom Eagles.

The Colts produced their own magic against the Wizards, storming to the top of the table with a spellbinding 7-2 victory on Sunday. The Stripes made it two league wins out of two with an outstanding team effort, full of excellent passing, movement, support play and finishing - all the things they have been working on in training. The scoreline was no more than the boys deserved – in fact only a string of excellent saves by the home keeper kept the goal tally in single figures. The Colts got off to a dream start when Bouchez claimed his third goal of the season with a smart finish from Kearley’s corner. And they almost doubled their lead a minute later when some superb passing between Bouchez, Power and Kearley put Churchman in on goal but his effort came back off the post. Hogan produced his first save of the match after 10 minutes but had to leave the field shortly afterwards because of illness. Thornton took over. Substitute Williams immediately got on the score-sheet. Kearley made an excellent break down the right and after the keeper could only parry his powerful shot, Williams tapped home the rebound. Now the Colts looked in control but the Wizards reduced the deficit just before half-time. Thornton produced a fine save to keep out the first shot but could do nothing to prevent the rebound going in. The goal could have knocked the boys’ confidence but they continued to play some joyful football. Abbasi put them 3-1 up, slotting home after a brilliant mazy run from defence, and then the Stripes really turned on the style. Kearley grabbed two goals in a minute. First he linked well with substitute Rondeau down the left and smashed the ball home from inside the box and his second was an excellent individual effort. Rondeau, Williams and Creegan all had good chances but were denied by the home keeper before Churchman capped an impressive performance by unleashing a 20-yard effort high into the net. The Wizards managed to pull one back just before the end but the Colts were still not finished – Abbasi scoring from Rondeau’s cross.

Well another great weekend for the Terrors, 38 Goals in three games. We got off to a slow start and found it hard going at first. We had plenty of the ball with lots of shots at goal, but we could not get up and running. Then came some great passing and ANDREW scored a cracking goal and EMILE soon followed. Two goals up at half time not looking too good, if you could see the amount of possession we had!!!!!!! Second half came and a few stubs were made, and we soon got back in the game. Three more goals for ANDREW, Three goals for HARRY, Two goals for PEPPE, One more goal for EMILE, And the very first goal for FELIX. Overall a great game, with some good passing all over the pitch. I would just like to say I think they only scored one goal not because they did not do well up front but ZAK our goal keeper was OUTSTANDING, he didn’t have a lot to do but what he done, he done very well. Next week will be a good game CANNONS FC as they have some good results, so far so we need to be on form.

The third game of the season and the terrors were looking to continue their unbeaten run. With a strong team and an early start the boys started well with excellent work on the flanks from Danny S and Danny W and with goal machines Sammy and David on form the boys went in 2-0 up at half time. Shortly after the break the terrors went 3-0 up but with Wandgas showing real spirit they fought back to 3-2. Using Bradley’s energy on the wing and Harry’s strength in defence the Terrors increased the score to 4-2 and relieved the tension slightly. Felix made a couple of first class saves to keep us ahead, and with another strong performance from the midfield maestro Josh and man of the match Lewis’s tough tackling, we made sure we kept Wandgas to only two goals. The boys scored a 5th just before the final whistle. Another great team performance this week. Well done Boys.

This was the second win in three games for this new team and was a big improvement on last weeks 1st half performance, for the first time I felt confident in playing all the team from set positions, they rose to the challenge magnificently. Our only goal came from a corner with Charlie getting the last touch as the ball went in via a deflection, but I’ll give it to him as it’s no more than his industry deserved. We created numerous other chances where we were either denied by some great goalkeeping or poor finishing on our part. Alfie was back to his assured best making brave saves when need be and bossing his box like all good keepers should, with his skipper Chin looking back to his accomplished self, dealing with anything that got past the irrepressible Charlie we certainly looked more solid. Our midfield three was Tommy on the left Luke on the right and Owen in the middle. Both wingers created mayhem down the flanks and produced disciplined performances with their defensive work as well, both the boys can be proud of their efforts. With Owen in the middle starting to add thought to that natural talent we are starting to look like team with balance, add Ben into the mix up front and we had virtual control of the game. With Jermarl coming on at the back in the first half and creating a chance for himself in the second as a striker his promise and hard work in training are starting to pay dividend. Reshaun came on for the latter stages of the first half and performed with his normal gusto with Luke D giving his now customary cameo role. Our control of the game was such, that I felt confident enough in the boys too start switching positions to see how they coped with the different disciplines required in other areas of the pitch and I’m pleased to say they all rose to the challenge magnificently, comfortably slotting in to do what was asked of them, which all goes well for the future as this undoubted talented group of young footballers develop over the season. As stated previously 1-0 doesn’t do justice to the performance but they’ll play worse and win by more, well done boys a great improvement.

This was the second game for the Terrors and was a vast improvement on their first. It was a tight end to end game with Mark and Jamie going close and Adam pulling off one superb save. The first half ended 0-0 thanks to the tireless work rate of Pryas, Tyree, Kieran and Rivaldo, added with the wonderful skill composure of George we always looked in the game. We swapped goalkeepers in the second half giving the responsibility to one of the twins who coped remarkably well but an own goal and a shot from distance were our undoing but we went close on a number of occasions making me think our first win is not far away. The boys did every so well, Keep it up Boys.

The boys were up against a strong team, this didn't affect the boys at all as they were in such high spirits from the last game that they just wanted to carry on where they left off the previous Sunday. The teamwork and passing was outstanding, Alex was being constantly pressured by the Rocks lane players but used his great repertoire of skills and dummies to evade their attention and set up Alfie and Ben with some great passes and crosses. With the tireless running of Adam, Russell and Kieran we were always in control, but if at any moment our concentration did slip there was always George in goal to save the day. We were 2-0 up at half time thanks to Alex adding to an own goal from Rocks Lane. Alex added to his tally in the second half along with Ben, Russell, George and Alfie. It was an excellent display by all the boys keep it up boys.

Well what can I say; the score says it all.  We had a terrific game every boy gave their all Hats off to Surrey Predators they kept their chins up and played on. We were just too good.

Well we have been in this position and I can definitely say it feels better to be on the winning side well keep the good work up boys and we are guaranteed a good season.

Not the greatest of starts for the Colts on a cold damp day. A poor display on both teams' behalf's in a game that never really got going a typical game where neither set of boys looked interested! But there were positives to be taken out of the game, with the boys only playing their 2nd game together in competitive football, the passes seemed to be getting better, and the boys are just getting there postion-wise.. But there are still cracks in the paintwork that need to be touched up but this will only come in time. A tough game for the boys in which seemed to be too much to handle on the day. It ended Tooting and Mitcham Stripes 0-6 Ashtead Colts

After a poor display last Sunday a much improved performance saw Tooting run out easy winners this week, with early pressure the terrors were 1-0 up within five minutes Some good passing in midfield, JJ played Casey in nicely for a cool finish round the goalkeeper, with constant pressure for the whole of the first half tooting should have been easily 4 to 5 goals up but some how we went in only 1-0 up. The second half we started very fast and within a few minutes a cross into the box resulted in a own goal by Whitton 2-0, some good football from the terrors and we went 3-0 up through JJ With the constant running and tackling of Casey and James t ,and with our defenders Harry and Michael and goalkeeper Bryan looking good Whitton could not get into the game , with another attack we got a corner which Harry scored directly from 4-0. With all our players now trying to score a goal we forgot about defending and a low shot beat the keeper 4-1. But almost immediately we scored again through JJ some good passing from Harry and Michael out of defence to Thomas to James to Casey who shot but the keeper could not hold on and JJ scored his second. With Tooting all still trying to score Whitton broke and a good shot saved by jack in goal could only be pushed out to a Whitton player who shot ,but Casey flying in looked as he cleared well of the line But the ref gave it as a goal 5-2. We controlled the game from start to finish and should have scored a lot more but on the whole a good day.

The Colts produced a stirring second half comeback against Sheen Lions but were edged out in a five-goal thriller. Superb strikes by Bouchez and Churchman brought the Colts right back into the Interleague Cup tie but their experienced opponents just managed to hold on for victory. The team went into the match with plenty of confidence after starting their league campaign the previous week with an impressive 3-0 win. And the opening period of the first half looked to be evenly matched, with Hogan alert in goal, Thornton and Abbasi outstanding in defence, while Kearley, Bouchez, Rondeau and Williams all looked threatening on the counter-attack. But the boys fell behind to two scrappy goals. First a left-foot shot from the edge of the box somehow went through a sea of legs and nestled in the corner, and then the Stripes failed to deal with a left-wing cross which was nodded in at the far post. To make matters worse Hogan was injured in the incident - Thornton took over the No 1 shirt and Churchman came on in defence. The Colts started the second half in determined mood and were rewarded for their efforts when Bouchez’s powerful shot was deflected and looped over the home side’s keeper. The goal gave the Colts a lift and some of their passing and movement was a joy to watch. Power, on as a second half substitute, looked assured and Kearley’s strong running meant he was a constant threat to the home defence. Against the run of play Sheen restored their two-goal lead midway through the second half but the Colts again hit back. Thornton’s long goal kick put Kearley through and although the striker’s effort was blocked, the rebound came to Churchman, who kept his composure and rifled his effort into the top corner. The Colts threw everything forward as they searched for an equaliser in the final minutes. Kearley twice went close but Sheen held on to book their place in the next round.

The second game of the season was an 11 o’clock kick off against Molesey Juniors Colts. Bradley deputised in goal and continued to show the form that helped the team last season. The game started well with an early goal from David after some good work on the left wing from Danny Scants. Molesey then equalised but with some excellent inter play including some close ‘one twos’ with midfielder Danny Walker super sub Sam scored two goals and we finished the first half 3-1 up. The second half started lively with a free kick and after a deflection Molesey got back to 2-3. Once again Sam came up with the goods the finish his ‘hat trick’. When Josh scored with an excellent shot form outside the box the boys went 5-2 up. As the game went on and with all their hard work the boys started to look tired, a little of the teams shape was lost but the boys continued to work really hard. Molesey scored a 3rd but with some resolute defending by Harry and Lewis the boys won 4-5. Another good performance by the boys, well done.

This game was a tough lesson for the Colts given out by a strong Cheam side, especially in the first half where we were given a football lesson. The boys seemed lethargic, hesitant and maybe a little bit scared of their opponents who hustled and bustled us in the opening minutes never allowing us to settle. They dominated territorially and moved the ball well taking advantage of our slack marking to cruise into a comfortable 3-0 lead by half time. At half time we made some small positional changes and I gave the boys a there first telling off not for there mistakes but for the lack of effort and concentration, all of which seemed to have the desired effect as there second half performance improved considerably, we started to play as a team and were probably the better side in the half, creating the better chances and certainly more of the territorial advantage. The Colts deserve a pat on the back for there second half comeback but will now hopefully realise that you can’t play football properly if you don’t concentrate and put in the necessary effort.

The 1st day of the new season came around very quickly after the short summer break. With little time to work with the players and only one pre-season friendly under their belts, the boys put in a performance they should be proud of. The opening minutes were a bit scrappy with both sides vying for control of the match. However, it wasn't long before the Colts began to take control as the passing began to take shape, enabling the attacking midfield duo of Kearley & Churchman to get forward. Whilst the wing-backs, Power & Bouchez were a good outlet for the defenders Thornton & Abbasi to get passes to them. As the game reached halfway through the 1st half, the hard working and powerful Kearley, burst through to fire home the 1st goal (much deserved too!). The goal put the boys in a very confident mood and the 2nd goal followed shortly, after Bouchez swiftly scored from a similar position as the previous goal. As the 1st half drew to a close things had to be changed due to Abbasi taking a "knock", Churchman slotted in at the back alongside Thornton and Williams came on to go into midfield alongside Kearley. The 2nd half saw the introduction of Rondeau replacing Bouchez on the left-side and he got into the game straight away with some very hard work and strong running down the left flank. After more attacking from the Colts another corner was won and, as worked on at training, Thornton came up from defence into the box to head home a perfectly timed header. As it was a hot morning with players feeling the heat, another change was made and Creegan replaced Power on the right-hand side. The boys saw the game out with ease and when called upon Hogan in goal kept his concentration well by handling effortlessly any shots that came his way. Many thanks to the boys for a fantastic team effort and well done!

Not a good start to the season like we hoped it would be, game started pretty even, cannons being very strong and aggressive Just like there parents and managers, we battled well but never got any passing going and went a goal down just before the break Some bad defensive errors cost us an easy goal. Half time and a right good talking to we started passing and some good passing lead to jj getting our equaliser, But within a few minutes we were back making silly mistakes at the back at let in another soft goal. A few minutes later we got awarded A free kick 15 yards out which Cameron stepped up and smashed into the top corner 2-2 for a few minutes will looked the better side Looking like we may take the lead, but our hopes were short lived with mix ups at the back again we conceded a poor goal. With 10 minutes or so left our boys gave up the fight with more defensive mistakes cannons started queuing up to score. A bad start to the season we must improve.

This was the first competitive game for the large majority of the Colt’s but you would have been hard to tell that. An away game in your opening fixture is always a tricky affair and a much improved AFC Wallington certainly made it hard for us especially early on when they had the majority of the territorial advantage, but new Colts keeper Alfie was more than a match for anything that was thrown at him. With skipper Chin sweeping up in front of him we always looked assured. Then a goal each from debutants Luke and Ben put the seal on a controlled first half performance where we were creating more and more chances as the half went on, with Louis, Daniel, and Owen all going close to extending our lead before the break. The Colt’s became more and more dominant in the second half with Luke hitting the bar with a header from one of the numerous corners the boy’s were creating. Thanks to the tireless running of Charlie and Tommy who were always breaking up threats and launching the Colt’s on the counter attacks with clever use of the ball the boys always posed a threat. Then with the game looking comfortably won, Wallington got a freak goal from a rebounded clearance with 3 minutes remaining. Then in the dying seconds Alfie produced an outstanding save one on one to make sure the Colt’s deservedly took all the points. A special mention to should go to Luke D who was an unused sub but as always kept supporting the boys despite not getting on.

The season started with a home match against Esher Athletic Wizards. The starting team included three new faces Goalkeeper Felix and Midfielder Josh both of who had a good game with Joshes tough talking in midfield and Felix making some really brave saves from Esher, who had a forward line that was really strong. We took the lead early on with some really strong running and silky skills on the right from Danny Scants feeding David in to score his 1st of his hat trick. With Danny Walker working exceptionally hard on the left the boys really ran their socks off in the heat and when Harry scored with a great shot from outside the box the terrors went in 3-0 up at halftime and this also included hitting the post. With Bradley alternating between striker and midfield and with the pace of Sam we kept the Wizards on their toes. Esher piled on the pressure in the second half but with the third new boy Lewis’s sturdy challenges, even after getting elbowed in the face, we continued to use the ball well and with some slick passing moves we finished strongly and won 4-2. Well done all round boys. Great Start to the season.

Under 7's
What an excellent day for under 7 Tooting and Mitcham Stripes Team. The boys first experience of playing a match.

The team were against a some strong opponents, the first match was against Stoneleigh Athletic, where we won 2-1, the second match was against Spelthorne Sports once again we won by 6-0, the last match was against Feltham we lost 3-1. All the boys did so well, they all worked excellently as a team, using all the skills and tricks they’ve picked up in there short time with us. The defending was good, with some excellent tackle’s and when needed some great goalkeeping. Defeat in the last game was down to bad luck, tiredness and strong opposition. The festival will give the boys insight of what Sunday matches are about, they all did very well, and to say the least, I am very proud of the boys. Also not forgetting the parents support, many thanks to them for their support of the boys. Keep it up boys, Shamim Aziz
