30/08/2010 - Senior Team Match Report - Bank Holiday Weekend

Saturday 28th and Monday 30th August

Milton 2-1 Wasps: Hellenic League Div 1 East

Wasps 1-1 Finchamstead: Hellenic League Div 1 East

The Wasps surprising below par start to the season continued over the Bank Holiday and they have now only gained four points from a possible twelve.

On Saturday 28th The Wasps visited Milton and went behind twice during the match; initially to a J Beverton strike during the first half, which was equalised by a Alfie Cumber Penalty, and then again, this time without reply to a C Cooper goal during the second period. The Wasps had chances and were unlucky not to push on having equalised as they struck the woodwork twice before the half time interval. However, Milton were good for the three points.

On Monday 30th the Wasps needed to stop the losing sequence rot and worked hard to achieve this and secure a draw. The game ebbed and flowed nicely with the Wasps probably having the better chances throughout the afternoon but Finchamstead were resolute and provided more than enough resistance to prevent the Wasps scoring a second during the periods when they dominated events. Again The Stingers had to come from going a goal down after Freddy Baron slotted a neat volley back across Chris Tullet in the Wasps goal into the far corner just two minutes after the half time interval. The Wasps then enjoyed the lion share of possession but developed few really clear cut chances despite being on the offence for the majority of second half. The deserved equaliser game from the boot of Fred Tripp on the 70th minute mark following a period of particularly well sustained pressure on the Finchamstead penalty box. Martin Kenealy, Wasps Manager, made multiple changes during the second half in an effort to bag all three points but his side was unable to find the guile to break down Finchamstead, gain what would have been a very welcome second goal and all three points.

The Wasps 1st team have a break next week and it is hoped that they will resume thereafter showing some of their excellent pre-season form.

Forthcoming Fixtures:

Sat 4th Sept: Wasps Res vs Launton Sports: Hellenic Presidents Cup.

Sat 11th Sept: Woodley Town vs Wasps : Hellenic League Div 1 East 3 p.m. Kick Off

24/08/2010 - Senior Team Match Report - 21st August

Wasps 1-2 Woodley Town: Hellenic League Div 1 East

This early season clash between two sides tipped to be challenging for honours this season produced a high octane afternoon fuelled by two competitive sides and some dubious officiating. Woodley proved to be the more determined and consistent team throughout the match and despite ending the afternoon with only 9 men fully deserved all 3 points.

Woodley knew this was a key match and started the brighter, but on the 5 minute mark it was Wasps’ Ryan Sweales who narrowly missed the first opening after a driven free kick just evaded his outstretched boot. Woodley’s early dominance continued thereafter with some promising assaults on the Wasps penalty area from open play and dead ball positions. Wasps initially found it difficult to get into any passing rhythm as Woodley worked hard off the ball to close down the Wasps players in a high tempo affair. Wasps’ next opportunity to open the scoring went to waste in the 13th Minutes when Fred Tripp found himself in a good position elected to cross rather than shoot and the moment was lost. However after 15 minutes of play the match was now more evenly balanced with the Wasps having picked up the pace of the game both on and off the ball. The Wasps revival looked promising but as they pushed forwards Woodley sent a long ball over a square defence and the ball broke from a defensive challenge kindly to the onrushing feet of Jamie Fairchild who put the visitors 1-0 in the 24th Minute despite Chris Tullett in the Wasps goal getting something on the shot. The Wasps reacted well and were unlucky not to even things up. Kieran Webb forced a great save from the Woodley keeper on 40 minutes and Ryan Sweales headed in from close range on 41 minutes, but he was adjudged to have fouled the Keeper. The passion was evident throughout the first half with a few yellow cards having being produced but this was far from a dirty match – just competitive, as one would expect from these two sides.

The first meaningful action of the 2nd Half came when Wasps Alfie Cumber’s long range strike was tipped over the bar; nothing came from the resulting corner. Kieran Webb was once again denied by a great save but in the 56th minute the Wasps levelled when Ryan Sweales headed a looping cross back across the keeper and in the far corner. 1-1 and the match was really well set up for the final 30 minutes or so. Then came the first of the three sending offs. Woodley were first to be reduced to 10 men for a second yellow card offense. The passion and tempo escalated, but to majority of the players’ credit, they were doing their best to calm things down as further Refereeing decisions caused issues. The Wasps should have taken advantage of the extra man, but, as is so often the case, Woodley upped a gear and some of the Wasps players took their foot of the peddle. Despite this The Wasps did push forward more and create a number of half chances but were far from being as dominant as they should have been due to lessening the work rate. The next red card was also given to Woodley. The Wasps two man advantage did little to change the match for the reasons mentioned before and only 5 minutes later the Wasps were reduced to 10 men for a second yellow offence. With Woodley short of players and the Wasps underperforming the match looked all set for a draw. Woodley to their credit did not sit back though and in the 86th minute they were awarded a free kick in a very promising position just off centre on the ‘D’ of the penalty spot. Luke Williams’s powerful and accurate dead ball strike put 9 men Woodley into the lead again. The Wasps still had enough normal and extra time to make amends but were seemingly stuck in a rut and were unable to create the momentum they needed to get a point.

In summary, a very disappointing performance from the Wasps and Woodley deserved the victory simply because of their never say die attitude and determination throughout the match. Although early days in the season, the two fixtures over the Bank Holiday weekend are now important for the Wasps to maintain their assault.

16/08/2010 - Senior Team Match Report - 14th August

Saturday 14th August

Wasps 3-1 Farnborough Town Res: Hellenic League Div 1 East

After a raft of encouraging pre-season fixtures, which concluded with a great 1-0 victory against Uxbridge Town, it was not too much of a surprise to see The Wasps take their good form into the first League fixture of the 2010-11 Season.

The match was a game of two halves and the three points were realistically decided by the half time whistle. There was a confidence and control about The Wasps performance that soon saw them start to dominate possession and create chances. This confidence was boosted further when on 5 minutes Fred Tripp netted for the home side with a neat close range header from a corner. Some solid defensive work throughout the side, notably from Matt Stringer at the centre of the Wasps defence, kept a very useful Farnborough side at bay and, with the Wasps midfield creating numerous openings for the front runners, a second goal without reply was always on the cards. The inevitable happened again from a header on the 13th minute mark with Ryan Sweales rising high in the box to tuck away well. 2-0 Wasps. Although the match evened up a little The Wasps were still dominant and although Farnborough continued to pass the ball round well they never really threatened the Wasps goal. As half time approached The Wasps picked up the tempo again and reaped their rewards when Matt Skinner got clear of the right back, dribbled along the goal line and found Kieran Webb in the 6 yard box who passed the ball into the net with just 1 minute remaining before the end of normal time in the first half.

With the score at 3-0 the second half was all about The Wasps keeping control and Farnborough trying to salvage some pride. In fact Farnborough broke clear immediately after the interval but the advancing Tullett in the Wasps goal forced the striker to go the wrong side of the post. At the other end Webb and Tripp, supported admirably by a lively Wasps midfield and full backs, continued to create Farnborough issues. Both teams worked hard throughout the first 20 minutes of the second half providing some entertaining football; but then the whole nature of the match changed – the heavens opened!! A severe, sustained and exceptionally heavy shower dowsed the players, officials and spectators, and those that could took sanctuary in The Nest Stand. The resultant patches of surface water sadly stopped both sides from passing the ball around as neatly as before, and the game was reduced to a football version of It’s a Knock Out - offering some pretty decent comedy moments that Stuart Hall would have enjoyed as the players slid and splashed through the conditions! Farnborough to their credit continued to work hard and, with the weather clearing up for the final 10 minutes, got their goal in the 72nd minute through Jordan Merryman. The Wasps could have added a couple more too but Skinner hit the post and Webb missed a spot kick in what was to be the final meaningful piece of action before everyone retired to the club house to dry out! The Result placed the Wasps as the early pace setters at the top of the League table. Let’s hope they can stay there!
