London Lions 5
Cockfosters showed little evidence of being one of the meanest defences
in the Division as they crumpled in the first half to trail 3-0 at the
break. Dean Nyman started the rout with a goal after seven minutes. A
ball played behind the Cockfosters back line allowed Nyman all the space
and time needed to fire past ' keeper Tony Russell. Territorially the
game was more even than the scoreline would suggest, but Cockfosters
lacked the firepower to seriously threaten the Lions goal. In fact
Russell only had to use his hands three times in the opening period and
that was to retrieve the ball from the net. Sam Sloma twice benefitted
from absent markers for his first half double. Nyman completed his
double within two minutes of the restart and a Max Moore own goal just
three minutes later completed the misery although Kevin Duncan-Williams
clawed back a consolation goal tem minutes from the end.

Midlands League - Division One
Cockfosters
1 Ampthill Town 2
A good game yesterday but once again
our failure to convert chances into goals cost us at least a point.
Our situation was not helped by the absence of Jack Cook and Lorin
Mannie, both on duty of The Middlesex County representative side and
then after just ten minutes we lost Doug Kisuule to an ankle injury,
with Anton lewis coming on as his replacement.
That said we were very much second best for the first 45 minutes going
in two down and on the evidence of that first half there did not appear
too much chance that we would get anything out of the game.
However the second half was a very different story, having reduced the
deficit within 10 minutes of the restart, when John Christian finished
off a smart move of the re-start we had very much the better of the
remainder of the half, especially in the last 15 minutes or so when our
visitors were very much hanging on, assisted again by our very poor
finishing.
Certainly the consensus of opinion at the final whistle was that we were
very unlucky not to have got at least a point from the game, which
taking the opposition and their current league position into account
would probably have been a point gained, rather than recent drawn games
when it's been two points dropped. However for the neutrals this must
have been an extremely entertaining
game by two sides who concentrated their efforts on just playing
football albeit with a competitive edge, well controlled by the three
match officials.
Next up two more difficult fixture, on Tuesday evening we host table
toppers London Colney, followed next Saturday by the visit of near
neighbours Hoddesdon Town, who's team will in all probability contain
several ex Cockfosters players.

Buckingham
Athletic 1 Cockfosters 1
Once again Cockfosters looked much the better side and dominated
possession for much of the first half but shot shy in attack it was
Buckingham who threatened most as the woodwork twice came to the rescue
in the opening period. Charlie Crowley made a fine save to tip over a
controversially awarded free kick at the start of the second half and
from the resultant corner, Jonny Cater attacked the ball well and headed
Athletic into the lead. Cockfosters seemed to be slipping to only their
second defeat of the season when Dean Adams smashed home the equaliser
from just outside the area. Doug Kisuule and Dave Pigden were introduced
from the bench and this gave Cockfosters a more threatening edge.
However, it was the Cockfosters goal that had a charmed life in the
closing minutes as two goal-line clearances protected the point. It
could be seen as two points dropped but without a smile from Lady Luck
it could have been far worse.....

Not the best of performances against a useful Welwyn side but a gritty
showing that sees Cockfosters entertain either Cranfield United or
Harpenden Town in Round Three. Much of the effective action was saved
until the last quarter of the game when Andy Murphy gave Cockfosters the
lead after 65 minutes. Marcus Sawyer doubled the advantage on 78 minutes
as Cockfosters were in complete control and seemingly cruising. With
just six minutes remaining the game came to life as a free kick from
distance by Lee McDonald found its way past Charlie Crowley to bring
Welwyn right back into the game. Cockfosters response was immediate as
Eugene Asante restored the two goal advantage. But once more,
Cockfosters struggled to shut the door and another injury time goal,
again from McDonald, set up a tight finish. On this occasion the time
was on Cockfosters side and there was no chance of another late
takeaway....

Cockfosters inability to close out games when in control in the closing
stages was evident as New Bradwell found themselves grateful for an
outrageous penalty decision eight minutes from time allowing them back
into a game that until then was lost. John Christian gave Cockfosters
the lead after 15 minutes but John Smith levelled on the half hour.
Christian grabbed a second three minutes after the break with Aaron Cato
putting the Reds in full control after 70. Cue the turning point, the
most fortunate of gifts was accepted after 82 minutes when Stephane
Kemoagna pot away the spot kick. With their tails now up, New Bradwell

Having lost 'keeper Mitch Swain to Northwood, Cockfosters rapidly
secured the services of Charlie Crowley from Enfield Town and the
debutant did plenty to impress on his first outing. Contrary to recent
outings, Cockfosters had their shooting boots on as they rapidly
established a 3-0 lead after just twenty minutes. Anton Lewis made the
initial breakthrough with Eugene Asante scoring twice in the space of
four minutes. Wodson rallied well keeping Crowley on his toes befor Ally
Waldron got one back on the stroke of half-time. Asante completed his
hat-tric after 52 minutes before Wodson once more kept the arrears to
two when Kpeke Belisario netted. Just fourm minutes later John Christian
extended the advantage before Asante completed a four-times. Wodson's
response was spirited and Ashley Wackers reduced the arrears with nine
left. Cockfosters defence was often questioned but with just six minutes
left Marcus Sawyer scored the tenth goal on the night to give
Cockfosters a comfortable, if not a bit flattering, 7-3 win. ....
