100 Not Out

Newhaven FC v White hawk FC at The TerraPurra Ground in the Sussex Senior Cup 2nd Round

The Dockers ⚓ face the Hawks 🦅 at the Enclosed Ground in East Brighton Park on a cold night 🥶 on the Sussex coast. First time here with the pre-season visit cancelled due to the heatwave 🌞🥵 and this match being postponed a couple of weeks due to a waterlogged pitch🌊. Got here eventually. Hope it's worth the wait ⌛️. Both teams enter the Sussex Senior Cup at the 2nd round. It's going to be a tough game as our hosts have won this cup 🏆 twice since 2010. Newhaven are nursing a number of injuries with Alfie resting and a few other changes. Jake not in goal with his stand in being on an emergency loan.

It was always going to be tough and there was a lot of defending to do early on as we defended the downhill goal. That meant we were attacking uphill. The were no real chances until a freekick was given to the Hawks just outside the Dockers area. It was well taken and put the hosts ahead on 38.  Thought the Dockers should have got a free kick just before the Hawks one but the ref didn't. No further action before the break and it was time for the Whitehawk Ultras to change ends. They made a good noise in the makeshift stand behind the goal.

One change for the Dockers with new boy James Rhodes replacing Demas Ramsis. Playing downhill suited the Dockers as it did at Mile Oak. Little Robbo, big Robbo and Marcin all making breaks at speed while the hosts seemed to bog down and keep losing the ball. James looked a threat up front too and swivelled to put the ball in the back of the net on 52 ⚽️. Big Robbo got the second on 58 ⚽️. There may have been a little bit of game management employed by the visitors. It did seem to annoy the hosts 🤷‍♂️. Ask Horsham how that feels 😂. There were some late chances for Whitehawk, a great save from Roman and a goal line scramble kept the lead in tact until the final whistle. We're in the 3rd round! One of many cupsets this week. 👀

Ref did well trying to keep it about the football. Could easily have become very scrappy.

POTM: Ian Robinson, great to see him back and on form but the whole team gave their all. Awesome performance all round

Scranometer is on a bit of roll and registered an 8.5 for the veggie burger and chips. Hot chocolate was not quite Fort Road standards with a 7.0.. A bit of cold milk required.

Couple of new badges from the club shop finished off the evening perfectly. Can't wait to be invited back. Oh..

Tonight's 🌈 armband was a special request and is protest to the FIFA ban and in solidarity with all those who are discriminated against.

See you at the Emirates.

Easebourne Like A Sunday Morning

Newhaven FC host Midhurst & Easebourne FC at the Trafalgar Ground in the Southern Combination Premier League

The Dockers ⚓ host league newbies the Stags 🦌 at Fort Road for the first time in ten years. The newly promoted visitors are doing OK in mid table although they are a few short in numbers today with just 2 subs on the bench. Rumours that they were out the night before watching the England match are unconfirmed. Jake 'Bussy' Buss is celebrating his 10th Anniversary 🎂 at the club today. Congratulations Captain. Hope he celebrates with a clean sheet. 🧺

The Reds were into their stride from the first whistle and created a host of chances but have to wait until the 19th minutes for Alfie ⚽ to score what would be the games only tap in. They continued to threaten but the ball stayed out of the net until Henry hit a screamer on 31 ⚽. Pick that out. Another mile stone as it was the 1000th goal of the Breach & Cook era. Alfie got his brace with a well buried penalty on 43 ⚽after another scrum in the Stags box.

The second half continue to go to plan. Another penalty gave Alfie his hattrick on 53 ⚽ and Max finished it in style with a missile on 84 ⚽. The Stags didn't have a response and Bussy had a fairly quiet game.

A great win in fantastic style and could have been a load more. Some of the running on the wings was incredible.

POTM: Goes to Max Vardy for the goal 🌍👀😶. Nuff said. Looking forward to the highlights 📽.

Hot chocolate was a 9.5. Had to try again and scored 9.5 the second time too.

Scranometer registered 8 for the cheesy chips, hot and crispy and gooey. Yum.

Hope to see you at Whitehawk, third time lucky 🤞

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

Chelsea WFC v Real Madrid Femenino in Group A of the UEFA Champions League at Kingsmeadow

The Blues face Les Blancas in the home leg on a cold night in Kingston.

This is a new ground for us, bit like a league 2 ground, nice and cosy. We are swerving the Pizza Cup and the World Cup by taking in a game in the UWCL group stage. It's game day 3 and Chelsea have won the first two and top the group. Not going to be an easy game though as tonights opponents knocked Man City out in the qualifying rounds.

Lots of very talented footballers on the pitch including favourites Fran and Millie. Also playing are Sam Kerr, Guru Reiten, Magda Erikson and Caroline Wier. No sign of our France favourite, Eve Perisset. Have another new favourite in Canadian defender Kadeisha Buchanan.

The sides battled it out in the first half. Some great football but not the finishing. The only real chance coming from Fran. No score at the break.

The breakthrough came from a set piece when Millie flicked on for Sophie Ingle to head home at the far post on 67 ⚽. We will never know about the second goal. Was it a shot or a cross? A simple throw down the line to Erin Cuthbert whose cross/shot curled into the top corner on 75 ⚽. 2-0 to the Blues and it stayed that way.

Still top of the group and looking good. Loving the silver ball. Looked like a ball bearing pinging around.

POTM: Millie. Part woman, part brick wall 🧱👩.

Scranometer registered a 9.5 for the Hero Plant BBQ bacon burger but it came from too far from the ground so was disqualified. Shame as it was love and if you are ever in Eden Walk in Kingston give Hero burgers a try even if he is West ham fan.

Tranmere Rovers FC away to Swindle Town FC at the County Ground in League 2

The Rovers 🐶face the Robins at everyone's least favourite fixture in Sunny Wiltshire. T-shirt weather in November and need sunglasses too 😎. The boys from Birko are not in great form after the previous good run and have dropped to 10th and Swindle are doing well currently in 6th. Not sure why we are here. We haven't won here in our last 8 visits so it's everything crossed for a good result 🤞.

The Whites started with their usual 11 and without Lewis who is having a baby as it were. We started brightly and a fantastic pass from Merrie put Hawks ⚽ through and we were 1 up after 9 minutes. There were attacks at both ends and could have been goals either way but a fast attack and some stationary defending let in the equaliser on 30. It was still level when the boys went in for Micky to hand round the half time oranges.

Notable events in the second half were when Swindle thought they had taken the lead only for it to be disallowed for offside. HA HA. Wossy Doohan made a great save to keep the ball out of the top corner with 5 to go. And Turnbull forgot he isn't Jay Harris and got a straight red for a high kick in the dying seconds. His timing for the challenge could have been better. If he had waited until GRIMsby in a couple of weeks, he could have got Christmas off 🎄.

Towards the end, the Swindon crowd were all using the lights on the phones. Is this is a backup plan in case the floodlights fail while there are winning. We wouldn't like to say. 🔦

POTM:  Selected by Wendy is the machine that is Josh Cogley 🏆.  Like a machine charging up and down the wing 🏃‍♂️💨.

No food or drink rating due to our squeaky arrival.

The stewards were ok and not at all like the death ninja stewards of our last couple of visits.

Red Hawk Down

Horsham FC v Whitehawk FC in the 3rd Round of the Velocity Trophy 3rd Round at the Camping World Stadium

The Hornets defend their Velocity Trophy title against the Hawks on a wet and windy night at the Hop Oast. They have promised lots of changes to give a some of young players a game so it's looking a bit, been there, done that, for Velocity Trophy. Ahem, concentrating on the league and maybe the Sussex Cup. Certainly some bragging rights at stake though as these 2 were once league rivals fairly recently. Hope the football is not as damp as the weather. ⛈ No Dougie in the squad, probably eating in the club house. 👀

Hornets were gifted a goal on 5 minutes and Jack Mazzone ⚽ was far too polite to turn it down. Only good manners after all. It all level on 38 after the Squawks are awarded a penalty on 38. It looks like going in to the break level but the injury time seems to go on forever and the Hawks take advantage and the lead.

We found #sliceitlikeTuck in the club house, eating of course, and were still there when Alex Malins got sent off for a second yellow on 52.  Going to be a long 2nd half for the home side. That was the cue for lots of time wasting from the visitors. Must grow them with delicate knees and ankles in East Brighton as there was a lot of sitting down going on. Hornets battled well with 10 men and it paid off when Jack Mazzone got his second of the night on 82 ⚽. It's level for a whole minute as the Hawks are back in front on 83. It stays that way despite a fair bit of injury time. Disappointed to lose the game but think the club has bigger things to focus on with their first Sussex Senior Cup game in a couple of weeks. It's a shame as we like a nice cold Tuesday night cup game in the Winter.

POTM: goes to Chris Sessegnon at right back. Cos we liked him running up and down the wing.

Scranometer likes going to the Camping World Stadium and the Plant 🥬 Burger 🍔 and Chips 🍟 was a 9/10 👍. Lovely. All cooked to order and the new ticket system works well. Hot chocolate was an 8/10, quality great but quantity a little short.

There was a ref. Hard to manage time wasting like that.  Some of the offside calls a bit contentious but rather them than me running up and down the touchline in the rain so fair play.

See you soon now the proper footie weather in nearly here

Too L8 To Turn Back Now

Brighton & Hove Albion WFC v Tottenham Hotspurs WFC at the People Pension Stadium in the WSL

The Seagulls take on the Lillywhites at the home of Crawley Town. Both side are missing a lot of players and will field young sides. Might be a close defensive game of few chances. Wasn't how it went! I'll get my coat! It's Rainbow 🌈Laces Day 2022 in support of Stonewall's campaign, "Lace Up and Keep It Up". Seagulls have rainbow names and number which are impossible to read. 🤦‍♂️

The Seagulls kicked of then somehow managed to concede straight away. We missed this and arrived just after Spurs second goal on 19 minutes. Both errors from Megan Walsh who was fantastic against Chelsea last week. At the break it was 4-0. Brighton just couldn't keep hold of the ball, or attack or defend. Send help.

The hosts started the second half better and manage to maintain a little possession of the ball. This allowed then to hold on for 10 minutes before conceding at 5th. The 6th and 7 follower shortly after. The 7th was another lob over Walsh from outside the box. With 15 to go it was 8-0. There was more attacking football from Brighton and a few half chances for a consolation but it wouldn't go in.

Spurs looked good today and Brighton didn't turn up. A young, athletic, and aggressive team against one that seemed to have a huge hangover from last Sunday. One to forget. On to Horsham on Tuesday.

POTM: Weren't a lot of choices but Kullburg was calm and consistent at the back which was much needed as Vicky was all over the pitch at times.

Didn't try the food as we "ate" on the way 😠. Big mistake. HUGE! I'm not lovin it!🍔🍟☕

The officials officiated. The stewards were excellent as ever.

Going now.

Divided We Stand, United We Fall

Newhaven FC v Eastboune United AFC in the RUR Cup at the Trafalgar Ground

The Dockers face Sunshine Coast rivals in another cup game at Fort Road. This time it's United. The Dockers had a tough but victorious game against the visitors from the Oval a couple of weeks ago. After a loss in the Vase💐 to Town, it would be good to get going in this. Going to be a tough game with lots of 'gameplay'. A few changes today with Bailie in the 11 and Herbie on the bench. No Alfie. He is here watching so hopefully nothing major.

Newhaven made it very hard for themselves with some very sloppy defending (again) and we're punished on 4 and the 14 minutes by good attacking football. The 3rd on 32 was a pantomime 🤡 goal from a corner that missed everyone. You get it, no you get. Nobody got it and just stood watching it trickle along the goal line to hit the net just inside the far post. Never seen such a slow motion goal. Consolation was that it seemed to fire up the Dockers who played their best football of the game so far until the whistle sent for the break.

They came back out a different side and were quite dominant. Not sure the visitors got another good shot. There was some good defending though and some wayward shooting but Marcin eventually hit the target with a screamer on 51 ⚽. It a was largely one way traffic but bodies were thrown on the line to save or block the ball. Eastbourne had a couple of shots off target and if Newhaven want the balls back they will have to wait until the Fort opens in the morning 📈. There was lots time wasting shenanigans going on. Big tough players suddenly becoming delicate flowers 🥀 at the slightest perceived challenge and the goal keeper taking goal kicks using tips that he found in a book by the king of slow motion, Scotty Davies 📘. It got very exciting when young John ran at goaland fired emphatically into the net in the first minute of injury time ⚽. One more needed to level it and the visitors were clearly rocking. Fair play to the ref (more on him later) who responded to the time wasting by adding a good 10 minutes of injury time. The Dockers came so close to the equaliser when Marcin blasted just wide in almost the last kick. Dumped out of the Cup. Could have gone either way but you can't not turn up till the 35th minute and expect to win.

The ref. How tolerant is too tolerant. This tolerant is too tolerant. Thought he had sin binned their no.5 but he didn't go off. Kept giving them last chances so they will behave just the same next time. And the goal/not goal incident. Did it cross the line and did their player handball it back out of the net. Not sure about the line but a pen would have been a fair result. Just sayin!

POTM: Marcel Powell for some awesome the close ball control. Running into a pack of defenders with no chance of winning the ball and come out the other side flying down the wing with said ball. Shout outs too to Marcin and John for the amazing goals.

Hot chocolate was the great with another 9/10. Didn't help with football though. Might add rum next time 🍸.

See you soon

It's A Tough Game

A Harder Rain's a-Gonna Fall

Brighton & Hove Albion WFC face Chelsea WFC at the Peoples Pension Community Stadium in the WSL

The Seagulls hosted the Blues (seen here in magnolia) at home of Crawley Town, the very very wet ⛈ BroadPond 🐟 Stadium. Chelsea are the reigning WSL champions 🏆 and have a host of international stars but played a big game away ✈ against PSG in Paris in the week. Lots of changes including Beth England and Lauren James starting up front. Gulp! The Brighton fixture holds a bit of curse for Chelsea. Long may that continue. It was good to see Kullberg back alongside Vicky. Going to be along night for those 2. The pitch is borderline whether it is playable or not but here goes.

It was a fairly even game at times with the hosts having a few chances down the wings especially the right with Robinson running down the outside . The guests were always going to get plenty of the ball but the conditions weren't conducive to flowing football and the penalty areas seemed to be even wetter that the rest of the pitch. The ball just stopped as it passed the 18 yard line making attacking very difficult. Brighton defence held firm in the first half thanks to a couple of great saves from Megan and the aquatic assistance.

The pitch conditions caused more problems for some than others. Lauren James had 'grip' issues and slipped over a good number of times when trying to turn with the ball. Gutted for her 😂. The deadlock was only broken from a set play. From a Chelsea corner, Naimh Charles header was tipped onto the underside of the crossbar and followed up by Beth England. It was officially credited to Beth but Beth credited it to Naimh. Both sides started to ring the changes. Carter came on for the Seagulls. Chelsea were able to bring on a host of top internationals is the shape of Kerr, Harder, Erikson and Reiten. Thanks for that. Erikson tightened up the left wing and stopped Robinson's runs. Boo. The quality told in the end and Harder made it 2-0 on 86. Assist from super sub Sam Kerr. Brighton gave Chelsea a very tough game and forced them to bring on the big guns when they surely rather have rested them. An equaliser wouldn't come despite the level of effort. The girls should hold their heads high for the hard time they gave a team full of world class players.

POTM: All the Seagulls had a good game but it goes to Robinson for those runs which were the best chance of a goal.

Got to meet Jesse from Box To Box podcast who is a big Chelsea fan.

Newhaven FC host Bexhill United FC in the Peter Bentley Challenge Cup 3rd Round at the Trafalgar Ground

The Dockers ⚓ face the Pirates 🏴‍☠️ at Fort Road to decide who gets the booty and who walks the plank. These teams met 3 weeks ago in the league and the Dockers were 3-0 winners in a very tight game. Expecting it to be just as tough tonight. It's a cup game so will go to penalties if it's level at fulltime. Don't wait up. There are some new faces in the team and some old faces returning. Marcel Powell is new, a winger. Also new to us are Billy Barker, right back, Tareq Shihab is back too. And Bailey is back from injury so with Herbie on the bench, the Rogers hattrick could be on. 🙏

It's edgy to begin with and no clear chances until, oops, again. The visitors scored after 12 minutes with their first chance with a header over Jake after a scramble in the box and they get the luck of the bounce with the second ball. The Dockers have a few spells of the attacking football we know they are capable of but don't get a clear cut chance. There are a few half chances from outside the box or at difficult angles but their keeper made some good saves to either gather or clear the ball. Jake on the other hand hasn't had anything to do. The Pirates still in the lead at half time though.

Newhaven apply some consistent pressure at the restart but the bounce of the ball is always just wrong and the visitor are able to do enough to prevent a goal. More chances come and go with Alfie, Ramsis and substitute Ruda all threatening to level the score. Herbie came on as a sub to complete the Rogers trio on the pitch.🥳  Big news is that Jake had to make a save. His first and only save of the half.  So he was awake then. With just 2 minutes left on the clock, Alfie is brought down in the box and the ref points to the spot ⚪👈. Brought down is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence. Of course he sticks it in the net⚽ There are more chances but the clock runs down and we go to a penalty shootout.

It's at the skate park end. The Pirates up first walking the long plank to the penalty spot. Missed ❌. Ha-Ha. Robbo first. No problem ✅. Pirates second beats Jake ✅. Then Alfie ✅. Pirates make it 2-2✅. Don Street's is saved to keep it level at 3 taken each❌. Pirates 4th hits the post❌. Buss buries his after the longest run up ever 🏃‍♂️✅. The Pirates need to score the last of their 5 to stay in it but it lands in the skate park 🛹❌. Newhaven win with a penalty in hand. Quarter finals for the Dockers as they take the booty and the Pirates (seen fiercer Girl Guides) walk the plank of shame. Bye 👋

POTM: Hard to call as a few good performances out there but goes to Demas Ramsis for some amazing runs down the right wing. Joy to watch.

Hot chocolate ☕ is back on form to with an excellent 9 which is the best performance so far this season. 👏

Scranometer registered a steady 7 for the cheesy chips.

Officiating was consistently annoying for everyone and the officials did receive some polite feedback. Most was ok (it's 9th division football after all) but some a bit strange like the throw in to them that made Alfie shout at the ref or the dropped ball when it had gone out of play. All forgiven for the soft pen. Thanks.

See you soon

All Hastings And No Speed

Newhaven FC Ladies face Hastings FC Women in the London & South East 

Division 1 South

The Dockers ⚓ Ladies host the "U's" Women at Fort Road. The free scoring visitors are 2nd in the league and unbeaten this season with 31 goals in their last 4 league games. The Dockers have lost their last 2 which were cup games but sit mid-table in 7th.

It started badly when the visitors took the lead in the first minute. Oops. By 35 minutes, we were 4-0 down 😮.  Annie in goal did a good job of keeping the score down to 4 and stopping them running riot.  Having not played well to that point and been out competed all over the pitch, there was a sudden urgency about the Dockers and the last 5 minutes were by far their best spell but no clear cut chances.

A couple of changes at the break made a big difference and there was much more pace to the play. There were a few attacks and some better chances but the "U's" were still the better side. The 4-0 score line for the second half isn't really a fair reflection of the balance of play. Annie  in goal having had a great, if busy, 1st half, had a bit of a mare 🐴 in the 2nd and it might have been kept to 2 had she maintained her 1st half form. So an 8-0 loss to a very good side shows the big differences in quality across this division. Some great players in the Hastings side especially no. 19 who was running the show at times.

POTM: Jamie Quinn who came on at the break on the left wing then moving more central later on. She has good pace and made the whole team much more dynamic going forward. Super sub!

No ferry today as the Winter timetable has started and the Seven Sisters is resting up for the Winter. 🚢💤

Reality Czech

The Lionesses face the Czech Republic Women in a friendly at the AMEX Stadium

The Lionesses 🦁 are back in action at the home of the Seagulls with a bit less at stake this time. It's a friendly against the Czech Republic who didn't qualify for the Euros and have also missed out on a place at the World Cup next summer. Will still be a tough test and they can score goals too.

A few of changes tonight with Lauren James in for Beth Mead, Eyelashes in for Georgia and Demi Stokes in for Rachel. The ceremony before the start was excellent again especially the flame throwing wheelie bins.

England playing in their very bright away kit were attacking from the whistle and came close when Lauren James hit the post after 3 minutes. We were camped out in the visitors half for long periods but the defenders got in the way of everything. The changes didn't seem to gel and high pace accurate passing never really got going well enough to break through the wall of defenders 🧱. There were chances though, Chloe and Millie headed just wide and Ella's shot was saved. The Czechs had a good few attacks as well and were a threat on the break but the first half finished goalless.

The second half was much the same with England pushing at a closed door. There was more threat on the right as Beth came on for Chloe but even England Women's Footballer Of The Year 🏆 struggled to break through. There were a couple of good chances, the first looked like it had been bundled over and the second saw Fran's long range blast tipped over the bar. Serina made some more changes on her usual hour mark. Esme Morgan replaced Millie for her first cap. Looked good to, plenty of forward runs. Lauren James was replaced by Ebony Salmon who went up front with Hempo moving back to her usual place on the left. Their defence still held firm. Serena's last change was to swap Demi for Rachel who then surprisingly went up front. The tempo was raised for the last 10 but to no avail and it finished 0-0. Feels like a loss but takes Serena to 24/24 unbeaten.

Lionesses didn't quite roar with their usual ruthless ferocity tonight but the Czech goal was very well defended. Hope that Slajsová who went off on a stretcher is ok. Didn't look like much so was hopefully a precaution. We were sat right behind a camera man who was mostly focussed on the dug outs and we could see him zoomed in to Serena writing her shopping list. Milk, bread, a No. 9…

POTM: Lucy Bronze again, energy, skill and consistency. Her 100th cap today too. Honourable mention for Lauren James on her first start for the Lionesses.

Scranometer maxed out at the perfect 10/10 with the Vegan spiced vegetable pie. So good it required a second to double check.🥮🥮

That's it for watching the Lionesses this year. Hopefully be some more friendlies before the World Cup. Thank you ladies, it's been a great year. Football came home! ⚽️=🏠

Surrey Not Sorry

Tranmere Rovers FC visit Sutton United FC at the VBS Community Stadium in League 2

Rovers are away to the "U"s (not the U-turns, these wear yellow and those wear blue) at Gander Green Lane in Sunny Surrey. We are back here for the second time this year after getting a point during the losing run at the tail end of last season. This time we arrive having won the last three in the league and hoping to carry on that run here. Micky Mellon going for 4 in a row, 4 in a row.   The sun 😎🌞 is shining so here we go for our first Tranmere game of the season.

The Whites, (seem here in the teal 3rd kit) were aggressive from the off. Some good football being played at times. The 'Amber and Chocolates' lost a centre back to injury and the replacement didn't last long either. Bit fragile these, made of chocolate maybe 🍫. Last time we saw Paul Lewis he was playing against us at Northampton but today he was partnered up front with Hemmings. He was fouled in the box and Hemmings ⚽ scored the resulting penalty on 19. Team work makes dream work. Both sides struggled to keep possession with lots of playing the middle 3rd. Lewis ⚽ got the second goal in the last minute of injury time 45+4, and we went into the break in the lead.

There were worries what would come next. Would Micky make defensive changes again? He didn't and the battle continued where it left off. It got more niggly and the ref got more random.  We made a couple of changes that were thankfully like for like. Substitute Elliott Nevitt had a good chance late on but could hit the target and the second half remained goalless.  Our first Tranmere win since January. Great team performance and 4th clean sheet too. A different world to last time we saw them play.

We remember this ref from Newport away earlier in the year. He had a better day today but that's not hard after last time. Still a D+.

POTM: Our new favourite, the man mountain that is Simeu. Simeeeeeuuuuuuuu

Ste-Award gets a 8/10 for being very friendly and taking the micky out of me hiding in the rucksack.
