South Midlands League Floodlight Cup - Final

Cockfosters  v  Saffron Walden Town

It has become increasingly difficult to agree a date and venue for this game. In all probability the game will now be held over until early next season. Any change to this scenario will be published as soon as known.

Reserve Challenge Trophy - Final

Cockfosters   2    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 report to follow....

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Cockfosters   0   Beaconsfield SYCOB   1

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.....

Potters Bar Charity Cup - Semi-Final

Cockfosters   2    Colney Heath  1

Cockfosters edged past local rivals Colney Heath to reach the Final of the competition where they will face Old Owens.

Dan O'Connor, on as a second half substitute, poached the leveller before Ben Andreos secured the win, heading in via a post.  See Match report .....

Spartan South Midlands League - Reserve Division One

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.....

Saturday 19th April 2008

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Leverstock Green   4    Cockfosters   0

At half-time there seemed little evidence of the final outcome as a dour route one approach by both teams had failed to break the deadlock. However, the second half unveiled a different picture as Leverstock Green cruised to a comfortable four goal win.  See Match report...

Spartan South Midlands League - Reserve Division One

Cockfosters Res.    2   Mursley United Res.   1

Looking for the three points that would guarantee a runners-up spot for the second successive year, Cockfosters were slow out of the blocks and trailed after just five minutes. The second half was a different story as goals from Danny Curbelo and Jamil Gaawo gave Cockfosters the points they needed.  See Match report.....

 

 

Tuesday 15th April 2008

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Aylesbury Vale   1    Cockfosters   2 

Two first half goals created the platform for Cockfosters second win in four days. After 15 minutes, Jamie Brandon  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 Cockfosters held out for the win. See Match report....

Cheshunt 'A' U18    2    Cockfosters U18   2

Two goals from Jonathan Stokes and a last minute penalty save by Matt Nyong kept Cockfosters League Shield challenge very much alive after a highly entertaining game at Cheshunt. Match report to follow....

Saturday 12th April 2008

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Harefield United   1    Cockfosters   2 

A battling performance at Harefield earned a well earned win.  Aaron Ewing had put Cockfosters in front after 51 minutes with a stunning curling shot from 20 yards. The Cockfosters goal survived a few scares until Harefield eventually equalised after 70 minutes. Although not on top, Cockfosters created the better scoring opportunities and Jon Moniatis grabbed the winner with twelve minutes remaining. Match report to follow...

Spartan South Midlands League - Reserve Division One

Cockfosters Res.    1   Colney Heath Res.   1

In a rehearsal for the Reserve Challenge Trophy Final, the two finalists failed to show the kind of form they would be looking for on May 7th.

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Cockfosters   0  Kingsbury London Tigers   0

Cockfosters continued their recent spate of draws; the latest coming in a hectic goalless encounter with Kingsbury London Tigers. Throughout the first half the Tigers moved the ball around with some slick football but the revamped Cockfosters rearguard rarely exposed ' Keeper Lee Walker. Cockfosters had a bigger share of the second half but were unable to trouble the Kingsbury No. 1. Match report to follow....

Cockfosters Res.   4   Harpenden Town Res.   0

Cockfosters eventually overcame Harpenden Town to move within striking distance of Runners-up in the League. Richard Crilly from the spot after 28 minutes and Rowan Taylor a minute later added the second to put Cockfosters firmly in the driving seat. Second half chances came and went until another two goals in sixty seconds sealed the win. Danny Curbelo and Josh D'Jelal after 80 and 81 minutes seeing Cockfosters safely home.

South Midlands League Floodlight Cup - Semi-Final

Cockfosters   3  Potton United   2

Dan O'Connor was Cockfosters man of the night as his hat-trick saw Cockfosters through to the Final of the competition. Potton led through John Mulholland's headed 13th minute goal. Cockfosters were level at the break and were in front before Potton levelled at 2-2. With seven minutes left O'Connor completed his hat-trick with a fierce low drive. Match report to follow....

Saturday 5th April 2008

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Cockfosters   2  Holmer Green   2

Despite taking an early lead against Holmer Green through Dan O'Connor, Cockfosters were never able to force home the first half advantage. An 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 point for Holmer.

Spartan South Midlands League - Reserve Challenge Trophy - Semi-Final

Cockfosters  Res.   2    Stony Stratford Town Res.   1 

Cockfosters reached the Final of the Reserve Challenge Shield after a stuttering 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 end, Andy Timbrell also came up with a freak goal when his hoisted cross crept in at the far post. But they all count. Match report to follow....

Potters Bar Charity Cup - First Round

Cockfosters   4    North Mymms  2

Cockfosters made it through to face Colney Heath in the semi-final of the competition but not without surviving a determined battle from North Mymms. Cockfosters  had the luxury of an early headed goal from Francis Otari(pictured) and Dave Pigden doubled the lead before half-time. Mymms were down to ten after the dismissal of Lee Edwards for a goal-line handball but Pigden's spot kick was saved. Mymms fought back and levelled by the hour. Jon Moniatis, who entered as a second half substitute score twice to finally see Cockfosters through.   Match report to follow......

Hanwell Town   2   Cockfosters   1

After going a goal behind after 28 minutes, Cockfosters bounced back and justifiably levelled before half-time through Lee Barker. The second half saw Hanwell retake the lead after 58 minutes and although Cockfosters enjoyed plenty of possession they were unable to make the breakthrough to level for the second time.

Cockfosters Res. 0  Sawbridgeworth Town Res.   2

Having slipped behind to two sloppy goals in the first half, Cockfosters battered Sawbridgeworth for the rest of the game but were unable to be creative enough to undo a defence which deserved their luck to hang on for the win.  Match report to follow.....

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Biggleswade Town   2   Cockfosters  1

Cockfosters can, with some justification, claim that the league's high-fliers were fortunate for the second time this season to come away with all three 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 claims and could only watch as Dan O'Connor's shot on 90 minutes rattled the post.  Match report to follow(see First Team Reports).....

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

Cockfosters  1    Oxhey Jets   1 

A goal in the seventh minute from Jon Moniatis looked to have put Cockfosters on course for a win at Chalk Lane. In a scrappy game that hardly set the pulse racing but will live short in the memory, Oxhey bounced back late on to secure a point.. but as far as Cockfosters are concerned it was two that got away.

Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League  -  Brian Hitchings Cup

Bury Town U18   2   Cockfosters U18   1

Third time unlucky as Cockfosters made the long haul to Bury St. Edmunds for the twice previously postponed Brian Hitchings Cup tie. Josh D'Jelal got Cockfosters back in the game after they trailed 2-0. In truth Bury had the better of the first half but with Cockfosters pressing hard at the finish, extra-time or a result were just out of reach. Match details to follow.....

Cockfosters Res. 3    Oxhey Jets Res.  3

Cockfosters had to endure the misery of a penalty shoot out which led to their exiting the Floodlight Cup. Having at one time a 2-0 lead, the Reserves were pegged back by Oxhey and eventually came from behind with an Aaron Ewing extra-time goal to level at 3-3. Early goals from Richard Crilly and Jamie Brandon(pictured) had put the Reds in the driving seat but Oxhey were level at half-time and eventually took an extra-time lead as the tie went all the way.

Leverstock Green Res.  0   Cockfosters Res. 1  

A goal scored in the second minute of added time at the end of a thoroughly enjoyable game, by Aaron Ewing, was all that separated the teams at the finish. Leverstock looked the most likely in the early stages, but as the evening wore on, Cockfosters grew in stature and the best of the scoring chances fell the way of the visitors. A draw looked the likeliest out come until Ewing popped up with a late late winner. Match report to follow(Reserve-Reports).....

South Midlands Floodlight Cup - Senior Section

Cockfosters  2   Eynesbury Rovers  1   a.e.t.

Cockfosters  are through to the Semi-Final of the competition after a goal three minutes from the end of extra time from Steve Weldon finally broke down the stubborn resistance of United Counties side Eynesbury Rovers.  A long evening was inevitable as two 'off-side' goals were disallowed and a penalty refused after Dan O'Connor was scythed down. Cockfosters fell behind in the first half when Chay Morris's clearance was charged down and Eynesbury forced the ball home despite Michael Casey's attempted goal-line clearance. Jon Moniatis levelled from the spot after Dan O'Connor had been brought down but the winner came late as Steve Weldon side footed home a cross from Moniatis.  Match report to follow....

If you want to see goals then come to Chalk Lane. Today Cockfosters and Welwyn Garden City shared six with City leading on three occasions.

Hertford Town  2   Cockfosters  0

Admittedly on the back foot, but Cockfosters appeared to be heading for a goal-less draw at Hertford until a dubious penalty late in the second half and an injury time clincher put paid to those aspirations. Ben Andreos saw red in the penalty incident after Ryan Redford "tumbled??" in the area. Match report to follow.....(Photo courtesy Elaine Waumsley - Hertford Town F.C.)

Cockfosters  3   Langford   7

How do you turn a comfortable 1-0 half-time advantage into a 7-3 defeat - those answers can surely only come from a higher divine power. Dan O'Connor scored after 7 minutes and there was no threat of the carnage that was to follow as Langford hit four in twelve minutes in the early moments of the second half. O'Connor and Dave Pigden scored for Cockfosters as Langford waltzed through a non-existant defence to score three more. To compound the misery Dan O'Connor saw red with twenty minutes remaining.  Match report to follow.....

Thursday 10th January 2008

Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League  -  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.

Spartan South Midlands League - Premier Division

St. Margaretsbury   4   Cockfosters   0

Another disappointing weekend as a Cockfosters side seriously weakened by a spate of injury and illness returned empty handed  from St. Margaretsbury. Three goals in five minutes around the half-hour mark from Saints Matt Maskell killed the game as far as Cockfosters were concerned. A fourth goal coming midway through the second half completed a miserable afternoon for the Reds.  Match report to follow...

Cockfosters Res.   2   St. Margaretsbury Res.   3

With the first team struggling, the Reserves inevitably were weakened, and although taking an early lead through Jamie Brandon, found themselves trailing 1-3 after 47 minutes. Rowan Taylor got one back and only an outstanding save from Saints Darryl Mills in the dying seconds,  prevented Taylor from completing a Cockfosters come back.  Match report to follow....

Cockfosters Reserves keep up their race for the top of the league with a 2-1 win away to Tring Athletic leaving them 2 points behind Hertford Town but with the advantage of 2 games in hand, after a shaky morning with 2 players involved in a car accident before the game, Cockfosters travelled to Tring and were 1-0 down just before the half time whistle but pulled it back with goals from Jamie Brandon & Lasalle Simon to take all 3 points -  Match Report to follow....

Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League  -  Brian Hitchings Cup

120 Miles for Nothing.....

It was not rocket science to presume that the U18's fixture at Bury Town last night was in jeopardy because of the frozen 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.

Cockfosters   2    Biggleswade Town   4

A disastrous five minute spell just before the break saw Cockfosters turn a 1-0 lead into a 1-3 deficit. Nick Nicou, on his firsst team debut, gave Cockfosters the lead against the league leaders before Biggleswade hit Cockfosters with a triple whammy. The second half produced an outstanding performance from the home side with Dan O'Connor getting one back after 52 minutes; the remainder of the half saw the Biggleswade goal lead a charmed life with the pressure taken off with a break-away goal in added time.  Match report to follow.

Romford   3   Cockfosters   1

Cockfosters bowed out of the Vase at Romford following a low-key game in which in all truth there could be few complaints. A disastrous first half performance had Cockfosters three down at the break and that was basically game, set and match, although Dan O'Connor grabbed one back before the end it was a sad way in which to David Craig's reign in charge at the Club.  Match report to follow.....

David Craig has announced his resignation as manager of Cockfosters F.C.. Dave's decision to step down has come purely from the personal pressures of family life and it's with great regret we have to acknowledge and respect his decision. The Club are truly grateful to Dave for the major  contribution he has made on the Club's behalf whilst in charge. We wish him and his family all the best in the knowledge that Cockfosters has always played a major part in his footballing career. Thanks Dave.....

Surely not " A Night to Remember" as the wheels flew off in a second half that saw 6 goals from Tring. Nothing in the first half to suggest what was in store as Tring grabbed the lead in first half injury time.

Cockfosters   0   Harefield United  4 

Cockfosters will do well to get this game out of the system as soon as possible. Harefield were gifted a dream start as two horrendous lapses presented them with a two goal lead after 20 minutes. Before Harefield had created a genuine chance for themselves, Cockfosters had created and wasted two gilt edged scoring opportunities. As the evening wore on, Cockfosters attacking edge became more blunt. A third for Harefield midway through the second half and another deep into added time compounding the frustration.

Cockfosters disappointed as they slipped up against a well organised Aylesbury Vale outfit. Only the most biased home supporter would have said that the Reds deserved a win, but to come out empty-handed was harsh. Goals either side of the break put the writing on the wall but a spirited comeback only had Gary Haycock's late header as a reward. Match report to follow.....

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.

Ruislip Manor had to concede ground advantage for this game played at Chalk Lane. It  was Ruislip who threatened early on and deservedly led after 23 minutes. Cockfosters burst into life and rapidly created a half-time lead through Dave Pigden and Dan O'Connor. Ben Andreos put Cockfosters 3-1 up scoring from a direct free- kick but to be honest for the remainder of the game it was Cockfosters hanging on to eventually scramble home 3-2.   Match report to follow.....

me needed extra-time will remain a mystery. Although Cockfosters were shaken by early goals at the start of each half, the home side largely laid siege to the Sporting goal and the number of chances that went begging, particularly in the second half defied belief. However it took a late leveller from Lee Barker and an extra-time winner from Dave Pigden after Samson Okeke had scored the first, to secure Cockfosters passage.

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 ........

Welwyn had chances late on but first they had to get past Chay Morris. Match report to follow.

Cockfosters  1   Hertford Town   3

A goal in the conceded in the first minute did little for the confidence but Cockfosters battled back to level through Dave 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.

Chalfont St. Peter  4  Cockfosters   0

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.

Herts Senior Cup

Cockfosters drawn away to Potters Bar Town in First Round.

Ilford  1  Cockfosters   0

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.

Potters Bar Town  3   Cockfosters   3

Cockfosters continued their pre-season friendly campaign at Parkfield against Ryman League rivals Potters Bar Town. Twice Cockfosters led but at the final whistle a draw seemed a fair reflection of the game. Jon Moniatis getting his season off to a flyer as he grabbed all three for Cockfosters.

Takely  1  Cockfosters   1

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.
