Surrey Senior Cup

Terrors

1-0

Corinthian Casuals

Simpson

(1-0)



A Tooting side containing many of the club’s successful Under 23 side produced a good performance to progress into the second round of the County Cup. The winning goal came in the 12th minute when Elijah Simpson latched onto a through ball and slotted home past former Tooting keeper Danny Bracken.


In the second half the visitors put on a bit of late pressure and Terrors keeper Liam Sallis acquitted himself well  in making a couple of fine stops the one from Shaun Brown being the pick of the bunch. The Casuals also had a goal-bound effort cleared off the line. Tooting battled hard but could not add to theirlead but could be very pleased with their evenings work on a very cold night.

referee adjudged Mike to have handled the ball. In the 44th minute Nico Cotton clipped the crossbar for Lowestoft but in first half stoppage time Town opened their account when Sam Borrer headed in a Nico Cotton corner.

In the 52nd minute Tooting got back on level terms when after a fine free flowing move involving several players Town defender Harry Barker turned a dangerous cross  into  his own net. Seven minutes later the visitors went back

in front when Matthew Foy netted from a corner. Midway through the half Town increased their lead further,  Shaun Bammant hooking in a pin-point cross from the left. Fifteen minutes from time it was 4-1 Matthew Foy firing home

Dixon(2), Clements(2)

(0-0)



Tooting turned in a superb second half display scoring four times to take the points on a cold and wet afternoon. In the early exchanges Peter Wedgeworth went close with a free-kick as did Mike Dixon with a couple of efforts. In the 37th minute ex Tooting striker Charlie Stimson forced an excellent save from Matte Pierson as his shot looked destined for the net. A minute later a fine free flowing move involving several players ended with Dominic Morgan-Griffiths just missing the target. In the last action of the first half Mike Dixon played in Isaiah Jones who was through on goal but fired just wide.

—–––––––––––––––––—––—––––

Two minutes after the break Matte Pierson made the save of the match to keep out Charlie Stimson’s goal bound strike. In the 53rd minute Tooting opened the scoring when Mike Dixon latched onto a through ball and fired home. Four minutes later the lead was doubled when Mike Dixon turned in an Isaiah Jones cross from close range. Midway through the half  Tooting added a third when Dan Clements curled in an unstoppable shot after Mike Dixon had been involved in the build up.


Tooting’s fourth goal came ten minutes from time when Chace O’Neill played a ball into the path of Dan Clements who lifted it over the  advancing keeper into the net. Matte Pierson then made another terrific stop from Joel Brown-Bampoe but was finally beaten in stoppage time when from a Thurrock corner Claudio Ribeiro-Goncalves saw his header hit the bar but he was able to turn the rebound in for the visitors consolation goal.


This was an excellent win for the team and staff, there were some outstanding individual performances well done to all concerned.

Dulwich Hamlet

Flegg

(0-3)



Dulwich Hamlet continued their impressive record of not losing a league match at the KNK Stadium by winning this Boxing Day encounter by three goals to one. The visitors opened the scoring in the 8th minute when Nathan Green made a good run down the left and scored with a fierce drive. In the 18th minute the Terrors had a chance to equalise when Mike Dixon’s excellent cross to the far post was met by Danny Bassett but was scrambled to safety by Hamlet keeper Preston Edwards.


This proved costly as Dulwich went straight down the other end and scored through Reise Allassani. Tooting then had a close range Isaiah Jones shot beaten out by the keeper and Omar Folkes following up had his effort cleared off the line. Matte Pierson made good saves to foil Nyren Clunis and Reise Allassani, in between Preston Edwards made a brilliant save to tip over Danny Bassett’s rocket drive which looked destined for the roof of the net. It was 3-0 after 41 minutes when Nyren Clunis netted

from close range

—–––––––––––––––––—––—––––


After the break Mike Dixon, Isaiah Jones and Chace O’Neill  all had shots saved as did Nyren Clunis for the visitors. In the 75th minute a stray Hamlet back pass looked destined for the net but the Dulwich goalie somehow managed to head it over for a corner crashing into the post in doing so. A minute later after a series of flag-kicks Tooting pulled a goal back when Sam

Flegg headed home Peter Wedgeworth’s corner. In reflection the game was an entertaining one played in very wet conditions but sadly the wrong result for the Terrors.

Eight minutes into the second half the Moatsiders defender Simon Cooper headed narrowly over from a corner and ex Terror Dean McDonald had a snap short saved by Matte Pierson.  Midway through the half United regained the lead when Danny Bassett played a slide rule pass into the path of Dan Clements who scored with aplomb. Quincy Rowe was then inches away with a third Tooting goal his header from a free-kick just going past the post. The Terrors clinched the points in the closing stages when a Peter Wedgeworth free-kick was cleared as far as Dominic Morgan-Griffiths who rifled in a fine goal from 20 yards out. This was an excellent team performance with every player putting in a real shift well done to them and the Management Team it was a great way to end the year.

Tooting went into the game missing Mike Dixon and Dominic Morgan-Griffiths but welcomed back the popular Jake Baxter who had rejoined the club. It was Leatherhead who opened the scoring in the 15th minute when a cross from Sean Clohessy was turned in by Tom Derry from close range. The Tanners doubled their lead after 33 minutes with a goal from Jack Midson after Clohessy was again involved in the build up. Eight minutes before the break it

could have been 3-0 but Jerry Nnamani fired over when well placed.

0-2

Met Police


(0-0)



Tooting slipped to defeat but had enough chances to have won the game. The Terrors first effort on goal came in the second minute when Danny Bassett’s fierce shot was saved low down by Thomas Williams. Two minutes later a well worked move involving several players saw the ball fall to Juevan Spencer six yards out but he shot over. On the half-hour  the visitors had a chance when a deep cross to the far post found Gavin James but he headed wide.


The main talking point in the match came after 40 minutes when Mike Dixon chased a long ball and netted but was adjudged to have fouled a defender in doing so. A couple of minutes later Dixon was through on goal again but lobbed over.  In first half stoppage time Matte Pierson made a brilliant stop to tip over a Gavin James header.

—–––––––––––––––––—––—––––

After the break Tooting still carved out chances with Mike Dixon, Juevan Spencer and Danny Bassett all going close. However it was Met Police who opened the scoring in the 77th minute when a Tom Bird free-kick was headed home by Jonny Wright and a minute from time their new signing Alec Fiddes added a second after a solo run. In stoppage time United had yet another chance but Chace O’Neill blasted over. A frustrating afternoon with fans reflecting on what might  have been with so many openings created.
