- Preliminary Round Replay
Cockfosters 1
Cheshunt 2
In front of a large Chalk Lane
crowd, Dave Pigden gave Cockfosters the perfect start with a goal after
10 minutes. The lead was maintained until a minute before the break when
Chris Meikle levelled for the Ryman League side. Richard Ashie ensured
that Cheshunt would make the trip to play Hendon in the next Round after
grabbing the all important winner on 65 minutes.

F.A. Cup
- Preliminary Round
Cheshunt 2
Cockfosters 2
It's all back to Chalk Lane on
Tuesday after Cockfosters earned the replay after a spirited performance
against Ryman League Cheshunt. Cheshunt led at the break but were soon
pegged back as Aaron Ewing rounded off a driving run firing into the
roof of the net from the edge of the area after 54 minutes. It got bett
for Cockfosters when after 66 minutes, Nicky Steward 'nicked' the ball
off the Cheshunt 'keeper on the edge of the area and curled his shot
into an unguarded net. Cheshunt hit back to level after 76 minutes and
so the sides try again on Tuesday. ..

Cockfosters 2
Cockfosters
returned from Herns Lane with three points after first half goals from
Nicky Steward and Joe Smith.
Steward with a far post header and Smith with a
spectacular strike were on target as several other outstanding chances
went begging. The second 45 did not reach the quality of the first, but
the win was rarely in doubt as Cockfosters comfortably saw off the
challenge of City. See "First
Team" "Reports"...

Spartan South Midlands League
- Division One
Cockfosters 2
Crawley Green 2
Cockfosters Bounced back from a miserable performance in midweek to
sparkle early on against Crawley Green. A deserved lead came after 9
minutes when Nicky Steward rattled the Crawley crossbar with Ben
Andreos collecting the rebound to provide Dave Pigden with the
chance to put Cockfosters in front. The early edge went from the
Reds game and by half-time Crawley were level after some sloppy
defending at the far post. The second half saw Cockfosters totally
dominate the play and should have cruised into an unassailable lead.
Although Ben Andreos did quickly increase the advantage after the
break the rest of the half was a chapter of missed opportunities. As
often happens a price had to be paid and in the second minute of
added time a long freekick failed to be cleared and the visitors
gleefully grabbed a somewhat fortunate point.

- Division One
London Lions 5
Cockfosters 1
Cockfosters picked up a real mauling as they took on league newcomers
London Lions. Two goals adrift after 20 minutes and one more after
37 gave Cockfosters a mountain to climb. Joe Smith gave the Reds the
briefest of hope with a goal after 57 minutes but that was all that was
on offer as Gershfield scored twice more for Lions to complete his
hat-trick and a miserable evening for Cockfosters... See "First Team"

F.A.Cup Extra Preliminary
Round
Cockfosters 2
Hullbridge Sports 1
 What
an afternoon for Cockfosters Ben Andreos - Two spectacular goals and a
red card - and all before half-time. After 16 minutes Andreos volleyed
Cockfosters into the lead an eight minutes later finished off some
outstanding work from Nicky Steward to put Cockfosters 2-0 up. On the
stroke of half-time, Hullbridge were awarded a hotly disputed penalty
following a blatant dive that the referee bought and triggered off a bad
tempered melee that eventually saw Andreos dismissed and Hullbridge
scoring from the spot. Danny Curbelo made a string of fine saves
throughout as Cockfosters 10 men held on for the win. Hullbridge hit the
bar as Cockfosters rode their luck somewhat - but then they did not have
the luck when it mattered in the dying seconds of the first half... See

Buckingham Athletic 0
Cockfosters 2
Traffic snarl ups on the M1 may have delayed the
start of Cockfosters season by 20 minutes, but within 60 seconds an own
goal gave the Reds just the start they needed. Aaron Ewing laid on the
opportunity for Jon Curtis to head home the second after 23 minutes to
put Cockfosters firmly on the path for an opening day win.

Paul Boxer Steps Down As
Reserve Team Boss....
 Cockfosters
Reserve Team are now searching for a new manager after Paul
Boxer has reluctantly decided to step aside for domestic
reasons. Paul feels that he has to spend more time with all of
his family and support them in each of their individual
pastimes. First Team manager Neil Ewing was quick to sing
the praises of Paul "whose support, commitment and enthusiasm
over the last two seasons has been much appreciated and will be
sorely missed". Neil will be be looking for a replacement to
take the helm of the Reserves who play in the top flight of the
Reserve Section of the Spartan South Midlands League.

Ground Improvements
I seem to be full of apologies lately, but after my
move we are up and running once more. The extension to the stand is near
completion and seating will be incorporated to satisfy the requirements
of the F.A.. To accommodate the stand, the centre floodlight pylon had
to be turned so that it now is lowered toward the northern end of the
ground. - Many thanks to the helping hands that made task possible .......See
More Pics in Photo Gallery....
Wednesday 12th May 2010
Apologies, but the website will not be updated
until a few days time as we are moving on Friday. Hope you enjoy the
Presentation Evening and congratulations to you all. Will be back
on-line a.s.a.p..
Friday 7th May 2010
Apologies for lack of activity on site for the last
couple of weeks - have just returned from holiday.
Site will be updated asap with recent game details
and photos - but many congratulations to Dean Barker for finishing as
Division One leading goalscorer and also
takes the congratulations of Stan Painter for beating Stan's all time
Cockfosters goalscoring record.
Last Saturday's against Crawley Green brought down
the curtain on a season that ended well after a miserable start that saw
Cockfosters fail to win any of their first nine outings. To finish just
short of the top ten reflected a fine second half to the season.(Neil
Ewing's comments see "Match Reports"). The game attracted a large
crowd among which, were many players from yesteryear.(Photos
in "Picture Gallery")

Many Hands Make
Floodlight
Work....
The 'few' have been making genuine progress in putting
in place the improvements necessary as stipulated by the F.A.. However,
for the next job the 'few' need the hands of the 'many'. The centre
floodlight, when lowered, falls towards the clubhouse. In order to
accommodate the extended covered seating area, that will reach the
half-way line, the floodlight base will need to be turned so that the
pylon lowers toward the Compton C.C. end. And that's where
YOU come in - as many as possible are
needed for this and whatever else is asked of you. A working party
will be looking to get this job done from 4.00pm
on Thursday 29th April - Please make every effort to attend after
all....... Where
would this Club/Country be without The Few....
