The rain and wind stayed away from the only Division One Fixture that was played. And how Fc's Manager wished it had come down in buckets.From the kick off Fc were against it, Asda threatened with every attack and did not let up and Glassons side were second best to everything. Keeper Stuart Green kept his side in the game with four or fibe superb saves and Glasson had to make timely inceptions, The back four were earning thier crusts today but also earned some cross words. Asda took the lead on 25 minutes and then doubled that witha dubiouse penalty.Fc St George made thier first change in the break, Young Jamie Davies debuting on the right wing was replaced by Simon Clark. Things didnt change they seem too get worse As Asda's football roe into a weak home side who conceded another three goals, Fc St Georges second change saw the Manager go off and Youngster Nathan Phelps play out the last twenty.Glassons side did get a consolation goal when lee kennedy foraged foward and found chris ayres who took a touch befiore firing low into the left corner. final score 1-5

TIMSBURY 1 FC ST GEORGE 4

FC ST GEORGES BOSS JEFF GLASSON ASKED HIS MEN TO BOUNCE BACK FROM DEFEAT- AND THEY REPLIED WITH A SUPERB 4-1 WIN OVER TIMSBURY. A HAT-TRICK BY Striker Mike Payne and a goal by Chris Ayres helped sink a very good Timsbury side. The yellow and blues boss signalled his disappointment last week by making four changes to the side and a change in formation. Skipper Matt Crucifix who got his managers man of the match award returned to central defence, A enforced move meant John Green made his first start in place of the absent of Nigel Chantly Mark. Portuguese import Henrik da Silva was also given the nod and new signing right winger Michael O’Connell made his full debut for the side he played with five years ago(nee cock inn Rangers). A bold move too was to see striker Mark Wallis replace Absent Damian Holton at left wing.
Fc kicked of the match and rode their luck for the first twenty minutes, Timsbury despite the score line were a better footballing side but lacked a prolific striker, but were also up a much tighter. Skipper Crucifix constant vocals keeping a fine line. and any shots were from outside the box, most of them tamely going adrift or Keeper Stuart Green saving comfortly. Once the visitors had settled Glassons side began to get into the game and Two early efforts saw Wallis Drill one wide of the post and Mikey Payne shot saved by the keeper. After another good spell of pressure Timsbury were hit by a bit of Portugueses skill. John Green found Da Silva who jinxed past one player and fed Payne a inch perfect ball and the prolific striker shot low into the bottom left corner. 0-1. Timsbury reacted well from the centre and Stuart green had to come out to close down a threat after Glasson had been beaten down the left, his clearance pnly returned the ball to a Timsbury player who tried to lob the keeper, Green who was surely outside the box when he managed to parry the lobbed ball was given the benefit of the doubt and a yellow by the referee,he was lucky John Green was covering behind him or would have been a straight red. Green then superbly tipped over the resulting free-kick. On 34 minutes Mikey Payne was upended after collecting Chris Ayres long ball foward, but unusually he hit it straight at the keeper, Further efforts by Payne Wallis and O’Connell kept the pressure up going into the break.
The second half there was no let up Timsbury came at them and should have done better with two efforts in a five minute spell, Green saving one and tipping the other over. But Fc were bubbling and the partnership of right back lee kennedy and o;Connell threathened with every attack. Fc second came from some build up Da Silva found Payne loitering out the right flank and his first time cross was volleyed home by Chris Ayres for his second of the season,0-2. Fc’s boss then limped off and was replaced by mark self. More pressure by Fc saw Payne shoot wide and over . Timbury kept plugging away with half chances but with no way through pushed numbers foward but were caught on the counter Mark Davies put in Da Silva who for the second time tapped the ball to Payne who rounded a defender and put in his second of the game. With 15 mins to go Wallis was replaced by Simon Clark. Timsbury did grabb a consolation goal after a player was allowed to run ten yards and take a lucky shot which rolled past unsighted Green to make it 1-3. The spent Da Silva was replaced by youngster Gareth Midcalf. Midcalf first duty was hassling a defender into making a error which Mike PAYNE CAPITALISED ON AND RACED CLEAR AND LOBBED THE KEEPR TO FINISH OF HIS HAT-TRICK, which stopped any sort of fight back from the home side.final score 1-4

CHRIS AYRES SCRABBLES HOME A LATE WINNER!!!
MIDFEIDLER Chris Ayres silenced brave ten man Ston Easton with two late goals rescuing his side from what looked like a embarrassing defeat. Fc st George had failed to put the game to bed early in the first half. Striker Mikey Payne saw two snap shots go wide of the post and O’Connell shot straight at the keeper. With Only one up front ten man Ston Easton worked the ball around on the deck and they were composed and confident throughout the match and deserved to go ahead on 23 minutes, Working down the right they carved through fc with ease and the ball was slotted home past a on-coming Keeper. 0-1. This was really their only threat at goal with further efforts coming from one corner and the odd free-kick. Player-Manager js Glasson had kept faith with the same side that beat Timsbury last week and had a packed bench if changes were needed, but there seemed a lack of urgency in the first half considering his side had one extra man, but failing to make it count.Going behind into the second half looked to give the homeside a wake up call , Da Silva had gone out to the left flank, letting wallis push upfront and they seemed more comfortable with the change. Chris Ayres who had been battling away all half started off a move which brought his side back into the game. Ayres found O’Connell down he right flank, the pacey winger picked out Payne just outside the box, Payne held the ball up and his timely pass found O’CONNELL running in from the right who shot low into the bottom left hand corner-1-1 . Things did look up until Defender John Green was dispossessed outside the box and The Gaffa Glasson who was covering was deemed to give away a very debatable penalty, Ston Easton scored from the spot and were ahead against the run of play.1-2.But their lead was short lived when Chris Ayres turned in a Lee Kennedy cross to make it 2-2 Fc continued to press, and with a hatful of chances Payne whipped two shots over the bar, Mark Davies saw his long shot held by the keeper and O’conell headed over from a corner. Even Right Back lee Kennedy got onto the act when his cross come shot rattled the cross-bar. Mark Wallis walked off injured after falling heavenly and Youngster Jamie Davis was the home sides first change, a second change saw Henquie Da Silva replaced by Mark Self and John Green went off for Nigel Chantly. With the visitors finally looking fatigued and holding out for a point.Fc St George grabbed a late late winner, with two minutes on the clock skipper Matt Crucefix lumped the ball forward into Ston Eastons box , Both Chris Ayres and Mikey Payne Challenged for the ball among a packed penalty box and Tho Mikey Payne tried a snatch shot from close range his effort went to Ayres who managed to squeeze it home for his second of the game and surely the winner.. You could hear the sound of relief from the homeside , and the despair of valiant Ston Easton who thought they had done enough with ten men. This puts Fc st George into the top four, but they know they will have to be 110% better next week when Ston Easton Return to St Georges in the Tony Whorlow Memorial cup ist rd.

Warminster’s Towns In-form Sunday league side battled their way into the next round of the Tony Whorlow memorial cup(all divisions), beating fellow division one side Ston Easton 3-1. The Somerset side returned to St Georges a week after losing 3-2 gallantly with ten men. This time they returned with a full squad but without last weeks hunger and determination. However the boot was on the other foot as Glassons changed side battled well and deserved to win this game on merit, Captain Matt Crucuifx had voiced his praises to his teammates before kick off saying that “the togetherness of the team in training as well on match days is second to none, and its good to have so many players fighting for positions.” . Glasson had to make one enforced move, Da silva filling in midfield for the injured Mark Davies. Lee kennedy and John Green were rested with Nigel Chantly and Simon Clark giving the nod in straight positional swaps. The Cup game kicked off at a fast tempo and it was stalemate for twenty five minutes until Fc’s Mikey payne opened the game up with a 16 yard drilled volley, Goalkeeper Stuart Greens route one kick was headed on by right winger Mike O’connell, Mikey Payne’s timely run eluded his marker and then jinxed past the on rushing Ston Easton keeper before drilling in a low volley to make it 1-0. This opened up the game and both teams started to play good football. Ston Easton headed over from a corner and a timely interception by Nigel Chantly cleared a danger. At the other end Payne and co missed some half chances, Fc’s Gaffa Glasson limped off just before half time and replaced by Damian Holton, The young left winger became instrumental in fcs win. And minutes into the second half he picked out wallis down the left flank and the powerhouse rasping shot hit the side netting.Ston Easton didn’t let up either forcing the homeside to defend deep, Skipper Crucifx held the back four together like superglue and nothing was not going to go through, Ston Easton tried there luck at two penalty claims which referee waived away, on 65 minutes the homeside doubled their lead ,left back Man of the match Mark Self disposed Ston Eastons right winger and passed to Damian Holton . Holton then picked out Mikey Payne with a 30 yard pass, payne who had pulled out to the left wing was level with the 18 yard box and whipped in a low cross. Ston eastons nearpost defender tried in vain to clear the dangerous ball but turned it into his own net to make it 2-0. Ston Easton were given a lifeline by Referee Mike Mead after Chris Ayres was deemed to nudge inside a packed box, The Farce continued when the first spot kick which hit the post had to be retaken for encroachment, by a ston Easton player!! This time it was slotted home 2-1. The spent Henrik Da Sikva was replaced by John Green. Ston Easton were now back in the game and could have grabbed a equaliser if Nigel Chantly and Mark self had not re-acted quickly , both timing their challenges well in the box and Self then clearing the ball. Keeper Stuart Green who had been redundant for most of the game also had to be alert to a snap shot volley which he calmly held, with ten minutes to go Fc wrapped up the win with a Mark Wallis solo effort. Wallis who had been motoring all game dropped into midfield and collected O’connells ball, the beefy striker then ran into the box unchallenged and picked his spot bottom left corner to make it 3-1. The last ten minutes Nathan phelps came on for Mark wallis and the homeside comfortly held out for a great result. Fc St George third win on the bounce proving that they are good enough for Division One, and hopefully a lucrative second round fixture. Final score 3-1

Farrington Albion 6 - 1 FC ST GEORGE

A dissappointed Fc Manager limped off the pitch and watched as his side crumbled against their hosts Farringston Albion, the ex premier league side relagated last season were too strong for Glassons Reshuffled side. Without key players skipper Matt Crucifix , Nigel Chantley, damian holton it seemed a stiff task for Fc to get soemthing out of this game, and a early goal from Chris Ayres against the run of play might have proved fatal for the homeside if Striker Mark wallis had hit the ball into the net and not at the keeper ten minutes later. The hosts grabbed a equaliser with the best goal of the game then proceeded to ake it three after capitalising on two bad clearnces. The second half Fc started brightly, Glasson forcing the albion keeper inot a acrobatic save and a clucth of corners failed to materialise any goals. Man of the match skipper Mikey Payne had the visitors last attempt at goal a 20 yard volley that sailed over the bar and the rest of the game was all Farringtons, Glasson and Da Silva were replaced by Jamie Davis and Simon Clark and Nathen Phelps came on for injured Chris Ayres.Farrington carried on the rout with three more goals and even had time for a dissallowed one. final score 6-1

L SUN 01 FEB A Team Frome Two FC ST GEORGE HIT FOR SIX IN DERBY GAME ARTISANS 6- 0 FC ST GEORGE
Warminster Town Sunday league sides Fc st George and Artisans met for the first of two back to back league games last Sunday at St Georges fields. The pitch is home for both teams and with ideal weather conditions and the added zest of a derby game ,it would have be a close encounter if Fc st George had fielded their strongest line-out. Manager Glasson was left frustrated by the lack of first team players, his aging bones forcing him to retire and a referee who should have. Glasson was missing regulars Chris Ayres, Mike Occonnell , both Sean and Daimian Holton and skipper Matt Crucuifx, In Come Simon Clark and Mark wallis back from injury, While Nigel Chantly and Henrik Da Silva played through chest infections. Considering the option available Fc St George did match their hosts for a good half an hour, and had a penalty goal disallowed after the referee spotted a Fc player encroach the box when Mikey Payne scored from the spot. Seems a Fa Directive says that the ref can give a free kick to the opposing team rather than have a retake, This seemed to stun Fc who for five minutes were all at sea. Da Silva who only lasted the half hr was replayed by Polishman Daruis Sedzik who added more agony to Glassons side when he let his marker jinx past him to easily and the Artisams Winger put in a cross which was headed in at the far post. 1-0, another defensisve error conceded a penalty yet another silly goal beating keeper Green 2-0.
The second half saw Youngster Shaun Parhew come off with a good performance under his belt and replaced my Jamie Wilson another youngster with talent who didn’t get into the game until the last ten minutes. Fc Started brightly after their half time respite and should have got back into the game after Man of the Match Mark Davis lifted a cross from the left flank found unmarked simon clark a yard from goal, but he shot straight at the keeper who parried for a corner. This was the closest Fc had been to scoring all game and the only one of that half. Artisans turned up the tempo, and ran riot after that, The Referee handed them two goals by not seeing too Foul Throws, both resulting in Goals. John Green limped off and was replayed by another youth product Nathan Phelps. Artisnas now were lining up with a b;izt of free kicks corners and jinxing runs into the box, Stuart Green pulled off some fine saves to give his side some pride. But he could not do anything when a free kick was deflect past him by Jamie Davis and with five minutes to go Artisans wrapped up the game with a sixth goal. FINAL SCORE 6-0
