Damon on the spot again…will he score?

Red Tile 5-1 Larkhall Athletic – Somerset County Cup 1st Round

After a somewhat interesting entry into this seasons competition, Tile were determined to put up a decent performance against a very respectful side from the notoriously stron Bath League.

The message was simple, play Football get the ball and play!!!!!!

Theteam was drastically changed from the previous week in the current process of squad squad rotation…

The game started and it isn’t take long for Tile to realise they were up against a decent side when they had the ball, however it was Tile who came closest in the opening minutes and could have been one up after 5 minutes.

However it wasn’t until 30 minutes that Tile roke the deadlock with an amazing strike from the ever reliable Shane Thompson.

Just before the break Tile could have doubled their lead when they were awarded a penalty which Damon calmly and confidently stepped up to take, He struck the ball to his left however the Larkhall keeper guessed correctly and saved the penalty.

Tile went in 1 nil at the break, everyone confident they could build on this in the 2nd half although very cautious of the threat from the opponent.

The 2nd half started and Tile continued to play very attractive passing football however it was Larkhall who got the goal ater some lovely passing football to which they scored from close range.

This spurred Tile on and the fitness started to take it’s toll as the game went on, Andy Smith who had an outstanding game on the day picked up the ball on the left and ran at the full back weaving in and out then drilled the ball low into the bottom corner giving the keeper no chance.

Shane Thompson then scored his 2nd before Damon scored from an almost impossible angle hitting the near post, Bar and far post before the bar nestled into the net making the score 4-1

Late on Tile brought on Top scorer Jamie Evans who scored within minutes of being brought on to finish off the match.

This was by far Tiles most impressive performance to date, Tile will now play local rivals Tiger Old Boys in round 2 away on the 23rd October in a match that will surely live up to the hype.

Steve Hall, Shaun Turner, Adam Evans, Lance Tuner

Red Tile 3-2 tiger old boys – Cossington

Following on from last weeks disappointing performance, tile rattled the changes making 5 alterations to last weeks starting line up and a change to formation.

Things couldn’t have started worse for Tile after going down 2 nil in the first 15 minutes after a number of defensive mistakes which gifted Tigers two glorious chance which they dually took through Jake Aidy and Carl Jones. The lead caused Tile to panic and make even more mistakes however the wave of chance stemmed for a period Tile broke down the right to Damon who laid the ball back to Rich who misread the pass and the tigers defender cleared the ball, however Tile pinged the ball back to the exact same spot and rich ball hit a sensational half volley from outside the box give the tigers keeper no chance.

The goal spurred on tile but they were unable to break through before half time.

The message was clear at half time – don’t panic and just keep plugging away and the rewards would appear.

The second half started and the waves of attack started from tile but were unable to put the ball away until they got the deserved break through a penalty after Carl Tucker was brought down. Damon stepped up and slotted the ball low into the left hand corner bringing the scores level.

Tile got a huge lift from this and continued to press, subs were made to bring on fresh legs through mike hart and olie smith, which helped and man of the match Andy Smith broke clear to slot home the winner late on marking a solid performance. Andy smith was replaced by Jamie Evans for the last 10 minutes.

Red Tile 5 – 2 Blake – Cossington

Following a great pre season and some interesting signings Tile were confident of starting with an emphatic win, given the 2 sides playing today met 2 weeks ago with Tile running out 9-1 winners, Blake obviously never read the script!!

The game started at a fast pace and after just 43 seconds Jack Taylor went close and should have scored but for a good stop from Blakes keeper who infairness made a number of fabulous saves throughout the game with the best being from a free kick taken by Damon Jennings who curled the ball around the wall only to see Blakes keeper pull of an amazing block.

Tile took the lead with some great (very rare on the day) passing football starting with Mike Hart passsing the ball out to Jake Collard who crossed first time and Jack Taylor lept to head Tile into the lead.

Blake chased and battled, tackled and through themselves in front of everything and eventually got a deserved equaliser, although Tiles play left a lot to be desired.

Half time saw Tiles manager lay down a few home truths about the season ahead and how hard it was going to be.

2nd half started and soon Jack Taylor got his 2nd of the game and soon after got his 3rd before Blake were awarded a penalty when Tiles keeper brought down the blake player even though going away from goal. Blake stepped up and slotted the penalty home.

Tile then made a double sub bringing on the fresh legs of Steve Hall and Rich Ball, replacing Damon Jennings and Jake Collard.

Steve made n immediate impact and smashed home in the area to increase Tiles lead.

Tile closed out the game with Jack Taylor getting his 4th to win the match 5-2.

Tile will need to drastically improve on this next week if they are to get anything from the game v Tigers who started the day with a very impressive 9-1 win. Tile are sure to change things around next week to try and improve on this poor effort.

Scott Rich, Adam Evans (c), Lance Turner, Shaun Turner, Jack Collard, Shane Thompson, Damon Jennings, Scott Capel, Mike Hart, Jamie Evans, Jack Taylor
