South Midlands League Floodlight Cup - Final

Colney Heath 1
Jamie
Brandon's goal 30 seconds from the end of normal time settled an
absorbing Final that could quite easily have gone either way.
Cockfosters had barely had a kick before Brandon gave the Reds the lead
after 33 minutes. At times both goals led a charmed life but
resolute defending and a bit of luck kept Colney Heath at bay until the
84th minute. With extra-time looming, Brandon spectacularly volleyed
home Andreos's free kick to lift the trophy for Cockfosters. Match

A
goal five minutes from time was all that separated Cockfosters from the
2008 champions. Cockfosters were light in attacking options against the
meanest defence in the Division. Neither goalkeeper had a save of note
to make and when Beaconsfield nicked the winner late on justice was not
seen to have been done. Match report to follow.....

Hertford Town Res. 3 Cockfosters Res. 2
Despite leading 2-0 after just eight minutes,
Cockfosters managed somehow to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Jamil Gaawo twice got his head to corners as Cockfosters dominated. But
lapses at the back threw away the lead as Hertford roared back to level.
Early in the second half Hertford grabbed a third and then had to defend
continuously as Cockfosters laid siege to the home goal for the
remainder of the game. See Match report.....

Looking

delivered the cross for Dan O'Connor to edge Cockfosters in front. Ten
minutes later, the roles were reversed but the outcome identical as
O'Connor set up the chance for Brandon to double the lead.
Aylesbury's leading scorer, Luke Mellisi, got one back four
minutes after the break but there were precious few more scares as

A battling performance at Harefield earned a well

horrendous mix up between David Craig and Chay Morris allowed Danny
Craggs to level early in the second half. Aaron Ewing fired Cockfosters
in front after 73 minutes but in a crazy climax in which the Green were
awarded two penalties, Alvin Rajaman converted the second to retrieve a

performance against Stony Stratford Town. Cockfosters were impressive
early on and Ben Andreos(pictured) scored the opener after 15 mins. The
quality of performance was not maintained and early in the second half
a fluke goal brought Stony Stratford level. Fifteen minutes from the

crept in at the far post. But they all count. Match report to follow....

a goal-line handball but Pigden's spot kick was saved. Mymms fought back

points. Cockfosters, unfortunate to be two goals adrift at the break
bounced back early in the second half through Rob Laney. It was always
likely to be the Waders night as they survived four decent penalty

Counties side Eynesbury Rovers. A long evening was inevitable as
two 'off-side' goals were disallowed and a penalty refused after Dan

when Chay Morris's clearance was
charged down and Eynesbury forced the

Brian Hitchings Cup
Bury Town Tie Jinxed......
It certainly appears that our Youth
team's Brian Hitchings Cup fixture against Bury Town Youth is
jinxed.
Having made the 120 mile round trip last
month only for the referee to confirm what most of us thought, that
the pitch was frozen and dangerous, and postponed the game, we again
left Cockfosters just after 5.00 pm yesterday for the journey to
Bury.
Having heard and witnessed the usual
problems on the M25 between the A10 and M11, we then received
traffic reports that there was major problems on the M11 northbound
with about a 10 mile jam between Harlow and Stansted.
With this in mind we set off via the
North Circular to pick up the A12 at Gallows Corner and travel up
the A12 to just before Ipswich and then the A14 to Bury.
All sounded quite straight forward and
indeed it was until we reached Brentwood on the A12 where there had
been a bad crash resulting in the closure of the road.
Having sat motionless for 40 minutes, we
eventually started to move, however it was now almost 7.30 pm and
with the best will in the world arrival at Bury in under an hour was
not realistic.
So following a few hasty phone calls the
fixture was again postponed and now await information from the
league regarding any action that might be taken against us plus
hopefully a new date for this fixture.

It was not rocket science to presume that the U18's

pitches. However, our team made the journey only to be told at 7.00
o'clock by the match official, that the game was postponed. I suppose an
early inspection was out of the question. It's comforting to know that
Christmas is just around the corner, and as commonsense is obviously in
short supply, the man with the Reindeer might just deliver a sackfull to
that part of the country.

PETER GREGORY - 1947 - 2007
It
is with great sadness that I must report the death yesterday of Vice
President Peter Gregory.
Peter collapsed in his office and was rushed to
the Whittington Hospital but it appears he had suffered a massive
heart attack.
He joined our Club as a young 15 year old in 1962
and played for many years mainly in our Reserve and 'A' teams.
Peter, his brother Martin and his late father Joe
were all great supporters of our Club. In fact it was mainly due to
Joe that we obtained our Bar licence in our old wooden pavilion back
in the mid sixties.
Peter was a Chartered Accountant running his own
company in Hornsey and for as many years as I can remember audited
our Club accounts.
He will be greatly missed by us all and we would
send sincere condolences to his wife Cheryl and all his family
members.

Mike Pratt 1944 - 2007
Sad regrets - it is with much
sadness that we have to report the sudden death in the early hours of
Sunday morning of Mike Pratt aged 63. He collapsed whilst doing a 'job'
he loved - 'cricket scoring' at our neighbours Cockfosters Cricket
Club.' He was rushed to hospital where he suffered a further heart
attack. Mike was a true local character, one of those people that clubs
like ourselves just cannot do without. He was a local lad having
attended Trent School & then Oakwood Secondary. Mike was a keen football
& cricket follower, travelling miles to watch games, he did not drive so
if a lift was not available, he would get to the venue by public
transport. His knowledge of grounds locations & directions to them was
probably unrivalled in this area. He also played in a local cribbage
league. Mike was a Cockfosters Cricket Club member for many years, then
in the 1970s when the cricket season ended he started to become involved
with our Club. Over the years Mike served on our committee, sold
progammes, worked behind our bar, managed/served in our kitchen on
matchdays & in our Herts Senior County League days he was a reliable
linesman for our Reserve Team games. A few years ago Mike became more
involved with our other neighbours - Southgate County Old Boys /
Southgate Compton Cricket Club. He has done tremendous work for them
behind the bar, & like his time with us, helped take the load off other
club officers. Mike - it was a privilege to have known you, rest in
peace & thanks for all the hard work that you did for our club & our
neighbouring clubs ........

For the first twenty minutes there was no hint of the shambles that

Cockfosters sole consolation was Jon Moniatis's 87th minute goal as they

A goal in the conceded in the first minute did little

Pigden(pictured) after 14 minutes. Disaster struck on the half-hour when a mix up
between Samson Okeke and Chay Morris gifted Hertford the lead which they
were to extend after 79 minutes to justifiably claim all three
points......see match reports.

Cockfosters felt the impact of promotion as their
first game in the top Division ended with a comfortable 4-0 win for a
very impressive Chalfont side. After conceding a penalty midway through
the first half, Cockfosters were on the back foot and matters got worse
on the stroke of half-time when scuffed shot going wide, took a
deflection and trickled into the net. From that point, Chalfont were in
complete control and cruised to a comfortable win.

In a less than entertaining game against Ryman League Ilford,
Cockfosters were
the more organised side but after going behind mid-way through the first
half, rarely threatened their host's goal. The reserves also went
down against Ilford's second string when losing 2-1 at Chalk Lane.

Cockfosters
are still looking for their first pre-season win but the elusive victory
should have come against Essex Olympian League side Takely. To be
perfectly fair, Takely had much the better of the first half but could
not penetrate the Cockfosters defence in open play. They did take the
lead after fifteen minutes from the spot after Kevin Hunt brought down
one of the home front-runners. Cockfosters fared much better after the
break missing several scoring opportunities before Jon Moniatis levelled
after 88 minutes.
