Tooting can count themselves unlucky not to get something out of the game and can
claim that they are not getting the rub of the green with vital decisions especially
in home games. The Terrors created a good chance in their first attack with Jake
Baxter having a shot cleared off the line. Three Bridges then took the lead in the
12th minute with a goal from the impressive Sam MacVicar who cut in from the left
and rifled in a fierce shot. United were very unlucky not to draw level in the 26th
minute when Chace O’Neills free- - The main talking point and controversy came after the break in the 47th minute when
Matt Price was brought down in the box for a stone wall penalty it seemed but to
the amazement of the Tooting faithful it was waved away by the officials. This was
to prove costly as three minutes later Three Bridges scored their second goal in
the 50th minute through Dan Mobsby who was left unmarked in the area and he duly
fired home. Tooting created several chances in the later stages of the match the
best of which was a Sol Pinnock free- Tooting & Mitcham United : Matt Pierson, Jordan Wilson, Gavin Quintyne, Adriano Moraes,

There was a minutes silence before the game following the tragic events in Paris.
The match was a very entertaining one with both sides creating numerous chances on
a wet and windy afternoon but played on a excellent surface(well done to Groundsman
Bryan Nicholson and his team) and a draw was probably a fair result although either
team could have won it. It was also the Terrors first draw of the season. Walton
opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a goal from Aaron Watson after some careless
defending by Tooting and soon after they could have added a second but for a smart
save by home keeper Matt Pierson denying Andre Scarlett. On the half- - After the break with the wind behind them the Terrors began to put pressure on the
young Walton defence and Ashley Robinson, Jake Baxter and Serge Makofo who hit the
post all came within a whisker of putting Tooting ahead. The Swans were very dangerous
on the break and had a couple of good opening’s but failed to take advantage and
went close again when Jack Batties free- Tooting & Mitcham Utd : Matt Pierson, Jordan Wilson, Gavin Quintyne, Adriano Moraes,

A freezing cold, windy afternoon at in- In a match dominated by off sides and a picky referee there was little in the way of flowing football on display. Tooting did not seriously trouble home keeper Godmon once in open play but, whilst the home team were generally in control of proceedings, it was only two minutes of Anthony Gormley level defending that enabled them to find the net. Kurtis Pykes had a chance to double the lead on 21 minutes, but ballooned his shot, from a Matt Price cross, high over the bar. Matt Pieersons first serious test required a low dive and a strong right hand to push a powerful free kick beyond the post, but he had little chance to salvage anything from the statuesque defending that gave King far too long to pick his spot and fire home from a low left field cross. Things nearly got worse shortly before the break when series of comic book routines
involving first Sol Patterson- - The luck ran out immediately after the interval as Favershams first raid was rewarded with a cool finish by King. Tooting pushed to get back into the game, winning several corners but only managing to dirty Godmons gloves with a tame effort from Mafoko. A triple substitution for the home side quietened further resistance, although Chace O’Neil did get a shot in, passing a foot or so over the corssbar, just before the end. The afternoon ended on another downer with the last minute dismissal of Jordan Wilson for a second yellow card offence.

Tooting progressed to the next round of the London Senior Cup winning this ten goal thriller. It took the Terrors only six minutes to go in front with a Jake Baxter penalty and two minutes later the excellent striker scored his and United’s second, Matt Price heavily involved in both goals. Any thoughts that the visitors were just going to lay down were quickly dispelled as they were level three minutes later with efforts from Tom Garrick and Ola Rabiu. Matt Price and Jake Baxter who were a constant threat to the Town defence both went close and then Jake saw an effort hit the woodwork and go ever. The Tooting pressure paid off in the 37th minute when Jake Baxter repaid the earlier compliment by setting up Matt Price to score his first Terrors goal. - After the break Erith scored in their first attack when United keeper Matt Pierson
parried a shot and Tom Garrick fired in to make it 3- In the 63rd minute Town’s Ola Rabiu had a good chance but sliced it wide, Matt Pierson
then proved what a fine shot stopper he is making two brilliant close range saves.
Jake Baxter then completed a deserved hat- In the closing stages the Terrors had to play with ten men after midfield general Chace O’Neill limped off after a heavy challenge, having already used all three subs. With virtually the last kick of the game Tom Youngs scored the Dockers fourth goal. Credit to both sides for providing a feast of attacking football with defending going out of the window.

The day started with an immaculately observed one minute silence, following the passing of our former English International centre forward, Micky Browning, who passed away earlier in the week. After a fairly quiet first quarter, Tooting took the lead when a long through ball was deflected into the path of Jake Baxter, who ran through to score with ease. Just prior to the goal, Brannon O’Neill narrowly missed the target for the visitors with an attempted back heel. Both sides were having trouble mastering the windy conditions, but the Terrors should really have increased their lead when Serge Makofo intercepted a pass from Jordan Clark, glided past two defenders and then shot narrowly wide. Eight minutes before half time, Brannon O’Neill broke through on the right, only for Matt Pierson to dive and prevent the cross reaching the onrushing Worthing forwards. - The visitors had the better of the possession in the second half, and looked particularly dangerous on their right flank. Gavin Quintyne was having a particularly hard time trying to counter the pace of Will Hendon, probably the visitor’s most impressive player. The Terrors still looked dangerous on the break but were unable to obtain the second goal which may well have sealed the victory. Our defence without two regular central defenders was standing firm, and Matt Pierson in goal was having his best game since joining the club. The introduction of Bash Alimi for Serge Makofo was a welcome site and strengthened central midfield. Chace O’Neill, Tooting’s best player on the day, had a fierce drive saved by Rikki Banks in the Worthing goal and then Jake Baxter missed an excellent chance to double the lead in the 72nd minute. We were made to pay just seven minutes later when Gavin Quintyne trying to foil yet
another Hendon run, was judged to have fouled the flying winger and Omar Bugiel scored
from the spot. We were then put under tremendous pressure in the last 10 minutes
and on two occasions made goal line clearances. We could however have won the game
in the last minute when a fierce drive from Leon Lalor- Team: Matt Pierson, Jordan Wilson, Gavin Quintyne, Ashley Robinson, Sol Patterson- Report by; Heather Jackson |

Tooting progressed to the 3rd round of the County Cup with a hard fought win over
a spirited Redhill side. The first chance of the game fell to the Terrors in the
16th minute when Chace O’Neill was fouled in the box, up- Two minutes before the break it was 2- - At the start of the second half Redhill put on some pressure Aaron Murphy hit the post and Matt Pierson made an excellent block. Tooting replied with a Serge Makofo drive which was just off target but in the 63rd minute Jake Baxter picked up a loose ball and fired home to secure the tie. Leon Lalor – Dell then raced onto a through ball and scored with aplomb but was adjudged offside. A minute later former Terror Andrew Dalhouse tested Matt Pierson with a stinging drive and Matt Price hit the post from a corner. In the end a comfortable victory for Tooting but credit to the home side who gave a good account of themselves.
