Luke Wooton,
The reserves were again very unlucky in the last match against Crofton. Crofton scored in the last minute of the game to draw 2-2.

The reserves were very unlucky not to take something from the last game against Greenwich Borough. We need to take our chances in the next match. Still the signs are there that we could have a good season.

Steve Keable 2

We left it late but we got the win we deserved. Steve Keable grabbed both our goals. The first, a header from a corner early in the first half and the second just before the end of the match from a Rompo through ball volleyed past their keeper.

At the time of this report, my understanding is that Crofton have won today as well. So it all goes down to the last game of the season. First and foremost we need to win our game, so let's make sure we are up for it next Saturday.

Excellent work everyone on our confirmation of promotion.

Heath 1 - 4 Eltham Palace FC

Alan Hunter, Mark Murrison, Steve Keable, Steve Rodgers

First up, Alan Hunter scored, for me, the goal of the season with an audacious lob over the keeper from the centre circle kick off just after we had conceded with the score at 3-1. This was not only a great goal but killed off the threat of a late surge from our opponents.

The first twenty minutes of this game were poor by our standards, but we managed to turn things round and eventually win comfortably.

Crofton Albion 0 - 6 Eltham Palace FC
Alan Hunter, Luke Wooten, Scott Grant, Mark Murrison, Dafe, Steven Keable

Excellent performance everyone, against our top of the table rivals in the league. Six different scorers shows what a great team performance it was.

The first goal was a typical piece of Alan Hunter magic, sweetly volleying the ball with his left foot into the keepers near post.

Second up was another great goal. Scott Grant scored a beautiful header from a Steve Rodgers cross following a nice dummy by the Hunter.

Luke Wooten then scored from a corner from about a metre out firing the ball into the top left of the goal, although I'm not sure Luke was aiming there!

Mark Murrison then stepped up for his customary goal, cooly sliding the ball under the keeper after Scott had managed to get the ball to him in the box.

Dafe then made an excellent cameo role as sub and scored after only a few minutes of coming on. Using his strength he strode into the box from the left and fired the ball in off the right hand post.

Finally, Steve Keable scored a tap in after a fantastic pass from Luke (or was it a shot, I couldn't possibly say) following more good work from Scott Grant and Mark Murrison on the right.

Other than the scorers we need to add that Simon was excellent at right back, Tom had their big fella in his pocket all game, Ferret was very solid and Brendan did not put a foot wrong all game

Finally, excellent goalkeeping by the man in goal, pulling off some great saves when he was called upon.

We were not at our best but still managed a nice victory against Bridon. Buster was clinical up front grabbing four goals in the absence of Mark Murrison. Alan Hunter grabbed our other goal, which puts him on eleven for the season (no more, no less - Al I have A Level Maths!).

Let's keep the pressure on Crofton.

We left it late but we got the victory in the end, after, dare I say it, a beautifully weighted pass from Steve Keable to Mark Murrison who poked the ball home. Pitcher continued his excellent goal scoring run with a fourth in four matches, so Mark Murrison better watch out for Pitcher is after that golden boot!!

Crofton drew at the weekend, so it's tight at the top.

Steve Pitcher 1, Alan Hunter 1, Mark Murrison 1

We put in a very good performance in this match against a team doing well two divisions above us sending us into the semi finals of the cup.

Our opponents were a strong team but they could not break down a very solid defensive display from us. Our counter attacking play was critical and Mark Murrison scored in the first half after a mazy run and shot from a tight angle. Pitcher then grabbed a volley after the ball had bobbled about in the box from a corner.

Second half we continued to hold out and our oppenents were getting very frustrated.

Alan Hunter then sealed the victory with a cool finish, slotting home from a pass by Mark Murrison.

Great victory!

Johnson & Phillips Reserves 2 - 3 Eltham Palace

Hunter 1, Mark Murrison 2

Johnson and Phillips were the stronger team for the first 20 minutes or so and went 2 nil up as a result. Despite this we still had created some good chances and there was plenty of the game left. We started to look more comfortable after sorting out the formation and we created enough to think the game was far from over.

Second half we began to take charge of the match and our opponents were not creating as many chances as they were early in the first half. Most of the play was focussed in our oppositions half and eventually Mark Murrison scored with about 15 minutes of the game left.

We continued to create chances and when Sam Frisk was played into the box he fed the ball to Mark Murrison who created some space for himself and scored with a shot that sneaked in at the near post. Full time ended level and the game went to extra time.

We carried our tempo into extra time and were rewarded a penalty early on when Mark Murrison was pulled back when through on goal by the Johnson & Phillips centre back. Their player was inevitably sent off. Alan Hunter stepped up to the plate and stroked home a beautiful penalty right in the top left corner (Al, nicely bigged up as requested!).

We continued to create chances and really should have scored more. AnyO (how do you spell your name?) got a nose bleed when he was put through one on one with the keeper and decided the best course of action was to pass the ball straight into the keeper's hands. Unlucky mate!

Pitcher was also on top heading form with another trademark bullet header that went about twenty metres over the bar. Sorry Pitch.

Ferret had a very good game after all the effort he has put into asking Tom to give him a game.

The game ended 3-2 which was a great result for us, coming back from 2-0 down against a team mid table two divisions above us.

We were 3-0 up within what must have been only 4 minutes which was very good in terms of getting the win. From then on we still looked strong but sometimes we played like the game was sown up. Still, we went on to comfortably win the game. A good victory to keep us top of the table.

Toms's Review: We drew 3-3 with Old Colfeians. Was a pretty dire early performance and 5 minutes in to 2nd half were 3-0 down, so a very good comeback to 3-3 with 25 minutes left. Could have gone on to win but credit to Danny for a late double save at 3-1. Goals a Big Al header from a good move with Lewis vivionary ball down the line and Murrison beating man and good cross, good strike from Ted and a well taken shiner from Mark to equalise.

Farnborough Old Boys Guild 'A' 0 - 3 Eltham Palace

Scott Grants (correct spelling?) 1, Steve Rodgers 1, Steve Pitcher 1

I know you all liked my highly accurate unbiased review of last weeks match, so here is another one!

First half we were the stronger team and took a two nil lead following two runs down the left from Steve Keable who crossed the ball to Scotty and Teddy for the first and second goal respectively.

Second half we were less commanding, but mid way through the half we managed to get a third goal from a corner. The ball was floated across, cut back by Mark Lewis and Steve Pitcher met the ball to score a bullet of a header! Sorry, scrap that, Pitcher did head the ball but it just about fell over the line. Joking aside, fair play to Pitcher, he still put the ball in the back of the net.

After the third we were never really troubled. So we should go top once the tables have been updated.

All the best for next week lads.

Steve Rodgers 1, Luke Wooten 1, Steven Keable 3

This game deserves a review for obvious reasons. The game started slowly and we struggled to get off the mark. Steve Rodgers then got the break through, with about half an hour gone, slotting home nicely after taking a through ball from Steve Keable. We then started to get more dangerous and in the second half Luke Wooten scored a header from a corner, his third goal in four games. Relaxed, we started to play the ball about particularly between Matty Frisk, Alan Hunter, Steve Rodgers and Scotty. Scotty then played a perfect ball for Steve Keable who slotted the ball home (some would say Thierry Henry style!!!!) with his right foot darting in from the left. Shortly after, Steve Keable scored again, rounding the keeper and placing the ball with his left, after some nice play from Steve Rodgers and Alan Hunter. Late on, Steve Keable rounded off a hatrick with a mazy run into the box from the left hand side and cooling poking the ball into the back of the net from a tight angle.

A great game. The moment of the match though has to be when Tom tried to administer first aid to Simon with a child's shoe. It really was an all time low in the standard of Eltham Palace's first aid kit.
