Brinkley
Red Lion 1 v 5 Bottisham Sunday 3A
League Game
Bottisham
Kick Off Season Week Late
After last weeks terrible start, Bottisham pulled a win out
of the bag. A good team performance saw new signing Ibi bag
a stylish hat-trick, his first being the pick of the bunch.
Our passing game which had completely deserted us last week
had been re-found, both wide players Meady and Grunt were
finding space to take on players and deliver good crosses.
Darren Williams in his new forward role got himself on the
score sheet with an over accurate 25 yard cross that found
the top corner. The fifth and final goal was the goal of the
game, James "ladyboy" Baston-Pitt found himself 30 yards from
goal and hit an unstoppable half volley.
Brinkley never stopped going and got the goal they deserved
near the end, good luck for rest of the season lads! New season,
new players and new management for Bottisham so need to keep
improving. We've definitely got the squad to push for promotion
this year.

Alma 4 v 0 Bottisham Sunday 3A
League Game
Bottisham
Well Beaten
Not a great start to this season losing 2 out of the first
3, really not promotion form! Bottisham had five first teamers
missing for the trip to Coldhams Common but that was really
no excuse. Again another bad opening twenty mins saw Bottisham
2-0 down, after that we seemed to wake up and play some good
stuff towards the end of the half. We started the 2nd half
the stronger but couldn't find a way through the srong Alma
back line. In the last twenty mins we pushed forward in numbers
looking for goal to kick start our game, but in doing so got
caught twice on the counter attack. Well done to the Alma
boys who looked strong all over the park and deserved the
result, good luck for rest of season lads! Bottisham have
got to start playing or promotion is well and truly out the
window! We're just not showing the form of last year, pick
yourself up Lads!

Bottisham Sunday 3 v 0 Wicken Maids Head 3A
League Game
Getting Better
After our poor start to season with two losses in three games,
we finally won a game and played well! At times we played
some good attacking football, with the Wicken keeper making
some great stops from players all over the park. However we
should of hit the back of the net a lot more especially in
the second half, we cannot afford to miss as many chances
in future games if we want promotion. The first goal was a
well worked move down the right with Shaun Blayney getting
his head to a good cross and guiding it passed the keeper.
Some neat interplay created several chances but none were
taken. The second was a 25 yard thunderbolt from Lol Maskell
decieving the keeper. Third goal was again well worked with
Ibi supplying a good finish to beat the keeper with the aid
of a deflection.
The Wicken boys worked hard and I think if they can play like
that for rest of season they will get the victory they all
crave for. As for Bottisham we still need to keep improving
to challenge for promotion, but Sunday was a good team performance.
