SAWBRIDGEWORTH TOWN 1 BARKINGSIDE 5
LEAGUE CUP GROUP D
Barkingside put their disappointing FA Cup exit last Saturday behind them to record an outstanding League Cup victory at Sawbridgeworth Town last tuesday night.
The game was only 4 minutes old when Paul Carr hit the first of his two brilliantly taken goals, and might well have had a first half hat-trick but for the home keeper. He was joined on the score sheet just over ten minutes later when Chris Lewis hit his sixth goal of the season. Sawbridgeworth hit back to make the score-line 2-1, but the balance was redressed just before half time when Paul Carr hit his second of the game and Side's third.
The second half was all Barkingside with some sublime passing and forward play and further goals came by way of a super strike by Jamie Clarke closing in on goal from the right, and a thunderous free-kick by Captain Craig Dennis ending the game with the score an impressive, but well deserved, 5-1 victory to Side.

TAKELEY SHOCK SIDE

TAKELEY 1 BARKINGSIDE 0
ESSEX SENIOR LEAGUE
by Rob Meyers
Barkingside must be wondering what they have to do to gain their first win of the season in the league after a disappointing result at newly promoted Essex Olympian side Takeley. This after their superb win at Sawbridgeworth Town in the League Cup the previous tuesday.
Conditions weren't great from the off, the pitch was very slippery from all the rain prior to kick-off and there was a delay in kicking off due to the referee being unwell meant that Barkingside had to continue training for another 20 minutes on the pitch before the game could start. That all being said Barkingside started the brighter team under the gloom of the clouds with Paul Carr hitting an unstoppable shot, but stop it the home keeper did going down well to his right to palm the ball away. Mark Steadman then had a chance to score coming in from the left to header well, but no goal came from it.
The second half produced chances for both sides, neither of which were able to convert into goals, until 67minutes of play when Takeley went into the lead. Barkingside pressed relentlessly until the final whistle for an equaliser, but it wasn't to be. Barkingside will now have to re-group and re-focus for Saturday's home clash with Clapton.

Barkingside v Mauritius Sports FC
|
Barkingside 4 Mauritius Sports 1 at Oakside
Essex Senior League
Adam Dennehey Reports
Barkingside earnt their second win of the week against Mauritius after a stylish performance at Oakside. Side had already beaten their opponents 3-1 in the Essex Senior League Cup Group match on Wednesday but weren’t taking their opponents for granted today.
Side started well with Chris Lewis and Brad Jones looking lively linking up with Side’s wingers causing Mauritius problems. Young Lewis was unlucky to have a goal ruled out after a push in the box on a defender. Moments later Lewis should have scored but his volley went over the bar following a good cross from Jones.
Side finally got the goal they wanted on 39minutes. Jordan Talon linked up well with Greg Thompson in midfield and put a great ball into the box which Jones nicked past the goalie to score a deserved goal.
Any chance of Tony Fenn having a relaxed half-time team talk was gone moments later when the visitors scored a fortunate goal on the break. There was no doubting Steve Opoka did well to split the home defence but his shot from a tight angle should have been saved at his feet by Joe Woolley in goal instead of trickling in.
That goal gave the visitors confidence and they looked a lot better in the second half controlling the ball in midfield. However Side were looking the more creative out of the two and after a long spell of pressure finally retook the lead.
A good ball from Greg Thompson found Jamie Clark out wide and the winger skipping away from his marker played a neat one-two with Davie White. Clarke was away and once into the box fed the ball back to White who turned inside the box before sending the ball over Kwambana in goal to give Side the lead.
That goal thirteen minutes from time was too much for the visitors and Side full of confidence added 2 goals minutes from the end. Clarke got Side’s third after dribbling through the box and lashing home and sub Mark Steadman scored the fourth after being set up by Lewis, slotting home into the far corner.

Essex Senior Cup 2nd Round
Southend Manor 4 v Barkingside 2
It was a case of third time unlucky for Barkingside F.C. on a cold and wind swept Tuesday evening.
First traffic called the original game off secondly the FA Vase replay clash for Side meant that this game was finally played much to the despair of the loyal Suppoters that had made the short journey to the Manor.
Side were forced before the game to field Assistant Manager John Doyle in the Number 1 spot, due to their regular Keeper Joe Wooley accepting a transfer to Thurrock F.C.
The first half produced many chances for both sides and was a real nail biting battle, great end to end football was created and it was a case of anyones game.
Manor took the lead twenty minutes into the match, when a superb free-kick from Ter ry Baker was headed goal bound by Dave Kreyling, and that left Chris Badderley to nip in in front of Doyle and slot home with much ease.
Side did not give up pushing and on the 35th Minute a great piece of work from Jordan Tolan ensured that they were on level terms as he pushed the ball past Goalkeeper Adam Seal.
The second half was a much different game and Manor came out with a vengence, Chris Badderley scored a rocket of a second goal from a full 25 yards out, which Doyle bearly saw.
Manors Danny Coulson was then shown the mighty Red Card for an off the ball incident putting Side straight back in the game.
With Thirty Minutes remaining on the clock, Manor pulled back and went into defensive mode, allowing Side once again to make breaks and sure enough 15 minutes from time Chris Lewis scored a fantastic goal, picking the ball up on the right wing, and gliding past 3 to 4 defenders before smashing the ball comftably home inside the far post.
With just 5 minutes remaining Chris Badderley played in recent substitute Welcome Mitshali who laid the ball back to Jay scoring a rebound from a shot and smashing in from close range, this silenced the Barkingside F.C. crowd.
2 minutes remaining and still all to play for, Manor wrapped up the evening when Dominic Harkins was badly failed near the Manor box, the ref wasnt having any of it and Manor cleared the ball up field to a waiting Martin Fiander, Ross Webster was then released with a clear run on goal from the halfway line, slotting home in style to really put the game to bed.
Southend Manor now face Chelmsford City away in the next round leaving Barkingside to concentrate on League, Vase and League Cup duties.

Essex Senior League
Barkingside impressed on a very damp Monday evening, beating Hullbridge Sports 4-1.
New Side keeper Paul Daley again impressed with a fine set of saves through out the match, which was combined with a very strong forward line, inparticular Chris Lewis on fine form banging in two to notch up his League goal tally to five.
Side now look forward to entertaining 2nd placed Basildon this Saturday which is sure to be a great game.

Barkingside 2 Basildon United 1 at Oakside
Essex Senior League
Adam Dennehey Reports
Tony Fenn’s Barkingside held off a tough Basildon outfit to grab all the 3 points at Oakside. The result was a vastly important one for Fenn who has called on his side to be more clinical in the past weeks.
With Monday’s win over Hullbridge under their belt, the team started well and after some pressure took the lead. A ball from the midfield was headed on perfectly by Chris Lewis. His strike partner Brad Jones ran onto the ball and took the ball in his stride before finishing cooly past Richard Mann in goal.
Fifteen minutes later, Jones scored his second. A ball into the box by Jordan Tolan flashed across goal and with Basildon’s defence sleeping, Jamie Clarke poked the ball back across goal on the by-line where Jones tapped home. It was a real confidence booster for the experienced striker who has come in for criticism in recent weeks for his lack of goals. Hopefully he’ll be a more consistent scorer from now on.
Basildon hadn’t threatened the home goal much as Side had full control of the game, but on the stroke of half-time they pulled a goal back. Moments after Paul Daley had tipped a Bryan Hyland shot over the bar, Basildon got their goal. A rare mistake on the ball from Greg Thompson gifted the visitors’ possession. Micky Lee took full advantage of this and from the right wing he put a brilliant ball into the box which was headed home brilliantly by Oli Baker.
It was a dreadful time to concede a goal and completely changed the course of the game, never mind Tony Fenn’s halftime teamtalk. The second half was a nervy affair for Side and in all truth they failed to get any grip on the game. The defence worked their socks off with both the Steven’s in defence working hard. Leon Diaczuk back for another spell with the team looked good in the centre of midfield and tracked back well in the second half.
For all Basildon’s pressure they failed to create any real clear cut chances. Their best chance of an equaliser came 10 minutes from the end. Basildon’s subs Anton Dwyer linked up well with Dave King in midfield before shooting from 30yards. The ball looked to be going well wide before striking Side’s skipper Craig Dennis and going narrowly wide of the goal with Daley well beaten.
After that Side saw the game out with ease and grabbed a moral-boosting win that will hopefully give them confidence going into the next couple of weeks.

POINT A PIECE!
SATURDAY 1ST NOVEMBER 2008 - V ETON MANOR (AWAY)
Essex Senior League Match
Rob Budd Reports ............
Barkingside were back at "The Manor", once again for what the Non League Paper regarded as "The Best Match In The League!" and indeed it had all the ingrediants. From the off it was obvious Side wanted revenge for the unlucky 4-3 only days previous, but with Manors defence proving strong it didnt take Dean Frett long to whip in a well timed cross to an awaiting Jeey Nkrumah who in turn thumped the ball into the far corner with 17 minutes on the clock.
Both sides then had their fair share of play and it wasnt until the 42nd Minute that a superb cross from Keiron King met the head of goal scoring hero Jerry Nkrumah to make it 2-0.
With half time around the corner and a streched Manor defence Jordan Tolan was able to nip in and tuck in a very neat 45th Minute goal to put Barkingside back int he game. Side now were full of self confidence and leading goal scorer Chris Lewis added to Sides first to even up on the 48th Minute. And added a Premiership like goal celebration to the delight of the away fans.
With Side now in full match control it wasnt long before Barry Simmons then put the Side in the lead for the first time with a 62nd Minute goal.
Side then looked like gaining all 3 precious points but then Manor again struck, Richard Simpson caught Paul Daley napping and punished him dearly with an excellent solo effort, gliding past many Barkingside defenders before making the net buldge.
An excellent game all round and a draw was a very fair result to the netruals point of view, an after match interview with Tony Fenn had the Side manager reeling that his team should of indeed won it.

Monday 3rd November 2008 - V ETON MANOR (HOME)
LEAGUE CUP GROUP D GAME
Rob Budd Reports .......................
The Barkingside pitch was in great condition considering all the rain that had fallen on it and both sides were soon making use of the slick surface This was apparent as Chris Lewis scored his 19th goal of the season of 20 games, to put Side 1 up.
Manor however were far from deflated and The Manor were forced to reorganise now but this serious setback only seemed to spur them on and after good approach play down the right, a cross came in that was only half cleared and Dean Frett was on hand to drive in the equaliser on the stroke of half time.
Although Side pushed Manor to the limits in the second half it was one of those games for them and it was no surprise when the Manor went ahead after Jordan Childs, the opposition keeper went for a cross , the ball broke free and Childs netted from close range. Paul Daley was clearly to blame and this silenced the travelling Barkingside fans who have had mixed emotions abotut he new Keeper.
Eton Manor Manager Kevin Durrant was quoted as saying after the match , " It took us quite a while to get going in the first half and we were a shade fortunate to go in at half time on level terms. As soon as the second half started though, we upped the tempo and even with the enforced changes we took the game to Barkingside and everyone gave 100% to see us through . Barkingside are a good side and will beat a lot of teams here this season. The only downside tonight was the serious injury to Scott Lovett and we all wish him a speedy recovery as he has been a key member of the side"
Barkingside must now win on Monday 10th November (to be played at Cricklefields, Ilford), a draw simply will not be enough to see the Side through into the ever awaiting Quarter Final draw.
Barkingside Treasurer Alan Budd commented, " Barkingside must get back into winning ways, currently we have been giving away far too many points in the League and I expect Sawbridgeworth Town on Monday to be no walkover. They are a good Side with a well organised system, but on our day we can fire on all cylinders.
BARKINGSIDE GROUNDED !
Saturday 8th November 2008 - V STANSTED (HOME)
ESSEX SENIOR LEAGUE MATCH
Rob Budd Reports .............................

Barkingside were given a League wake up call today, after throwing away a first half lead to loose 2-1 against strugglers Stansted.
Bradley Jones put the home side ahead half an hour into the match with a fine right footed shot. It looked like another three points for Side. But just two minutes into the second half Barkingside’s goalkeeper was sent off giving away a penalty. Paul Daleys hot head of late has cost Side dearly in both League and Cup games and this game was no different.
The Penalty was easily put away due to the Side having to rely on a Wing Back to cover the Sent Off Keeper and from there the away side took advantage of the extra man and scored not soon after to secure a vital win for Stansted.
Although at times Side did look to play some fluent football, Stansted always looked in the second half to have the upper hand and be in total control of the match, keeping a much frustrated Chris Lewis very quiet.
Barkingside must now travel to Middlesex to take on Harefield in the FA Vase next Saturday.

HAREFIELD UNITED V BARKINGSIDE F.C. 15/11/08
FA VASE 2ND ROUND PROPER
Harefield United 2 v Barkingside F.C. 1
Barkingside F.C. nearly pulled off another Vase shocker this afternoon takng on Harefield United the oldest club in Middlesex. From the off it looked very even both sides giving great accounts on the field, but in the 14th minute, Harry Stevens made a fatal error clearly pushing a Harefield striker in the box the Ref having no troubles in pointing straight to the spot. From there Chris Drake who has been having a fine season so far for the Hares slotted home the penalty which Side goalie Paul Daley narrowly missed out on saving. Side pushed Harefield soon after and on 20 minutes were nearly rewarded for their efforts, Bradley Jones only just putting the ball wide of the keepers goal. A break in play was light relief for the fans as they witnessed one of the Refs Assistants loose a much needed contact lense not something that is very familiar to the game. Anthony Jones was soon after released in what some fans thought was an offside postion to level the game up at 1 a piece. Both managers went about their business at the break and the teams for the second half came out with all guns blazing. Harry Stevens lax defending was all too apparent in the second half too, as Harefield again forced Barkingside into making Paul Daley pull off more glorious saves to keep Side in it. And the pressure finally paid off when on the 65th minute a great build up in play allowed fans favourite Ben Rowen to smash the ball to the right handed side of the net to then wave away all doubt who would secure the win. From there Barkingside could only muster a few half chances, with top scorer Chris Lewis coming close several times before the final whistle was blown.

Stansted 2 Barkingside 1 Essex Senior League Cup Quarter Final 1st Leg
Barkingside must of felt a slight rush of history repeating itself as the last time these clubs met the score line was again 2-1 in Stansteds favour. From the off Stansted pushed Side and didnt let up, forcing the tempermental goalkeeper Paul Daley to be kept very busy.
Early on in the 10th minute Danny Demetriou found the net, a great break and one, two play from Stansted left Barkingside defenders looking lost Side defender Harry Stevens again giving a very poor performance of himself.
A goal up and Barkingside seemed all over the place and it was soon after in the 25th minute a goal mouth scramble was the last Side Keeper Daley saw of the game, crashing down to the ground on his shoulder and screaming out in agony in amongst this incident happening Jack Dallender popped the ball at pace towards the vancant Barkingside goal.
Manager Tony Fenn was then forced to put on his assistant manager John Doyle who is registered at the club as a goalie, much to the shock and horror of the away fans fearing the worst as the game seemed to be going from bad to worse for the away team.
All credit must go to Doyle who not only kept a clean sheet but gave the team a much needed talking to whilst comanding his goal mouth area.
The away Side then was rewarded with a fine build up goal that should of been tapped in by Chris Lewis but ended up being put in by Brad Jones via a very brave diving header to smash the ball in the back of the net.
Bearing in mind the lax play from many of the Side players and the Goalkeeping nightmare they suffered, many fans were pleased when the final whistle was blown a mere 2-1 defeat, Stansted clearly not punishing Side like they should of.
The two clubs now meet for the second leg of the quarter final which is billed for 13th December at the Oakside.
GOALS - B.JONES (44)
Burnham Ramblers V Barkingside 29/11/08 Essex Senior League Rob Budd Reports ............................. A cold, bitter Saturday afternoon was the stage for yet another Essex Senior League match up. Burnham having played their last 4 league games, winning 3 and drawing 1 looked the favourite out of the two sides for this match but Barkingside had other ideas. Both teams started out a little hesistant to make a mistake, as Barkingside fielded a new Goalkeeper Cope to replace the injured Daley. Chances were few and far between in the early stages of the game neither goalkeeper really being fully tested. Barkingside fans would of remembered Burnhams keeper "Rob Small" from pre season games as he moved back to Burnham from Barkingside in the early stages of the season. The first goal was scored by the home side when John Bradley slotted home a fine goal on the 52nd minute to beat Cope. Barkingside never looked like scoring from there until a goalmouth scramble saw the ball hit Jamie Abobotts left arm clearly obstructing the ball in its direction of flight. Enter fans favourite and 2 time player of the season Chris Lewis to calmly slot home the resulting penalty against Small sending the ball to the left on the 65th minute and making sure now the visitors had something to play for. Burnham then pressed Barkingside who to be fair had been all over the place for the second half, being second to every ball and generally not being in the game atall, ex Side attacker Paul Carr failed to put away many chances. Just over 10 minutes after Barkingsides penalty the ball fell to an awaiting Stuart Fergus who had been having a great game and fully deserved the strike that then put Burnham 2-1 up much to the annoyance of the away fans. However in the 79th minute a mix up in the Burnham area allowed Jamie Clarke to once again level things up and secure the much needed point on the table for Barkingside. Barkingside will now play London Apsa in the league but must be looking to up their performance. GOALS - LEWIS(PEN) 65, CLARKE (79) APSA ON THE UPSA!!!!!!
Barkingside V London APSA 06/12/08 Essex Senior League
Rob Budd Reports ............................. The ongoing floodlight repairs at the Oakside Stadium meant that Barkingside FC once again had to seek a change of ground venue for todays Essex Senior League battle. And Barking FC's ground Mayesbrook Park was the setting, on a very cold and bitter Saturday afternoon. To add to this Barkingside also were without the injured Gregg Thompson and Dominic Harkins, both players having a vital impact on the Side. A poor turn out in crowd numbers didnt stop the Side starting off very strongly knocking the ball about with precision and ease and really showing APSA who was in control of the match. Side welcomed new comers Chris Mitchell and Ex Bowers & Pitsea striker Dean Allen who was given Captain duties. A great build up ensured Leonard Remy put the Side ahead after just 3 minutes much to the amazement of the visiting team. And it wasnt long after that the much in form Bradley Jones nipped in to smash the ball into the net after 9 minutes, Side were now full of confidence. However Side missed lots of chances to really put the game out of APSA's reach and went into half time only 2 goals up, not punishing APSA's very poor defence. The second half saw a totally different London APSA team and it was apparent words must of been spoken in the visitors dressing room. Barkingside made a change in the 66th minute to allow Billy Fairbanks a chance to show his stuff as he was replaced by the frustrated Jamie Clarke. APSA really pushed Barkingside and on the 70th minute the ball was rolled out to the right side of the pitch a good 25 yards from Side's goal, enter Ruel Sandiford who blasted the ball with fury and venom to score a goal that one would say would not of looked out of place in the Premiership. Sandiford lapped up all the praise from his fellow team mates and it was back to business from the resulting kick off. Side now looked worried and a shadow of the team they were from the first half missing chances from leading goalscorer Chris Lewis who clearly was lacking fitness for all to see. Another sub by Side on 76th minute saw Jordan Tolan replaced by the awaiting Anthony Jones and the last change was on the 78th minute goalscorer Brad Jones off for Besar Zeneli. And right on time captain marvel Dean Sumner made Side goalie Matthew Cope pick the ball out of the net with a very well worked piece of football on the 90(+4) minute virtually the last kick of the game to see Barkingside drop 2 points but London APSA gain 1. All in all a fair result but one Barkingside will feel they should of achieved more from, Side now play Stansted FC for the 2nd leg of the Quarter FInal in the Essex Senior League Cup, the game again to be played at Barking FC.
