14th February - Winkfield Saracens 2-4 Woodley Hammers (AET) - League Cup - Match Report

Goals: Enright,Cahill (pen)

Saracens suffer extra time hammer blow. After turning up for this league cup match Saracens were up against it from the start after only just about managing to get 11 players on the pitch although 4 of those players carrying injuries with some being serious injuries at that.

Sporting the new kit based on the Brazil national team today was not going to be the day for pretty football, rather a good scrap. The visitors from the premier league set about a fast pace and having a lot of time on the ball they continuously pumped long balls over the top of the Saracens defence who were being caught out each time on one occasion taking an early lead. After half hour Saracens had goalkeeper twiggy to thank for the 0-1 scoreline making class save after save as the defence was all over the place. at this point one injured player left the park for our only sub to replace him and he was injured too!

Half time and one down thanks to twiggy the second half had to be a lot better and so Saracens took the battle to the visitors starting to apply lots of pressure with crosses and high balls into the box was proving successful winning nearly all the aerial battles. A free kick floated in at the back post was headed back across goal by Brown for Enright to strike and level the game 1-1. Saracens continued to dominate the second half and was only open to counter attacks and although the defending was much improved the quick frontman was still causing the slow Saracens back line some problems with the visitors regaining the lead 1-2.

With injury time running down a late free kick put into the box a scramble eventually fell to Jon Callaway which he saw his shot blocked by the hand of a woodley player - penalty! Which composed Cahill put away to take the game to extra time. First half of extra time was all about pressure from Saracens with no luck finding the net but the second half the home side completely run out of steam and injuries carried started to affect the home sides play, each counter attack was a last ditch tackle of an effort on goal in which woodley scored twice in quick succession to round the game off 2-4.

A great effort from the lads involved which deserved more, they battled hard and still played some good football. Twyman was tirelessly running Holden carrying an injury put in the hardest tackle the manager has ever seen him do and praise to skid Mark Brown with a bad knee injury played through the pain for his team mates - shame on the rest of you.

Saracens: Twiggy, Bennison, Enright, J Callaway, Phipps, Holden, Brown, Whitty, Twyman, Taff, C Callaway (Cahill)

7th February - Winkfield Saracens 3-1 DC Steamers - B&B Cup - Match Report

Goals: Whitty, Davis, C Callaway

With Manager Bennison now diagnosed with Alzheimers this weeks match report may be even more vague.

Finally the 4th round fixture that is long overdue went ahead. Todays visitors from East Reading looked a very experienced and composed side. DC Steamers looked to pass the ball around nicely as did the home side Saracens who had the edge with a superior work rate and clear advantage in pace.

With the ball moving round the park nicely Saracens were having much joy when the ball was used down the wings where the first goal came courtesy of a Twyman special cross-shot to which no one ever knows found Whitty at the back post to take the lead 1-0. Due to his current illness and the fact through several late injuries to his side manager Bennison once again pulled on his magical boots, subsequently has a blank from 20 minutes until he was rightly subbed after 65 minutes!

Half time Saracens led 3-0 with Chris Callaway scoring and another player believed to be peace warlord Davis.

Second half saw the game become scrappy with passing now less evident and more long ball football which suited the visitors as the tall centre halfs had no problem winning headers against an unusual small Saracens side. DC Steamers did manage to find the net in the second half and a decent save from Twiggy when dealing with a one on one kept the visitors at bay, other than that no more dramas. Saracens are comfortably into round 5 of 8.

Saracens: Twiggy, Sharp, Phipps, Herman, Davis, Twyman, Bennison (Cahill), J Callaway, Taff, C Callaway, Whitty (c). Subs not used: Enright, Holden
