Ryman Youth League - South East Division 2009 / 2010

RYMAN YOUTH LEAGUE POLICY STATEMENT: . ."Thirty clubs will play in the Ryman Youth league this season, allocated across four Divisions, an increase of 50% over last season when Staines Town and Tonbridge Angels won their respective Divisions. . . . . Account has been taken of the fixture backlog in the past two seasons, when Youth teams have had to often play more than one match per week over the last few weeks of the season. . . . . Also, the League’s over-riding primary object is to develop young players in a senior club environment, with good coaching and discipline, learning to behave in a manner expected of senior clubs and players. Therefore, with a slightly reduced playing programme, there is more opportunity for Clubs to have time on the coaching development of young players."

The four Divisions are as follows:

Central

Carshalton Athletic
Chipstead
Corinthian-Casuals
Croydon Athletic
Kingstonian
Sutton United
Tooting & Mitcham Utd
Whyteleafe

East

Bromley
Cray Wanderers
Maidstone United
Thamesmead Town
Tilbury
Tonbridge Angels
Welling United

South

Burgess Hill Town
Eastbourne Town
Horsham
Horsham YMCA
Leatherhead
Lewes
Worthing

West

AFC Wimbledon
Ashford Town (Middx)
Hampton & Richmond Boro'
Harrow Borough
Hayes & Yeading
Staines Town
Walton & Hersham
Woking

In addition to the Ryman Youth League matches, all clubs will play in the League’s Youth Cup competition – to be known as the “Lucas Fettes Youth Cup”. . . This competition also includes many of the Youth teams of the other Ryman League clubs who do not play in the Ryman Youth league.

Youth Clubs also play in the FA Youth Cup and their County Youth Cup competitions.

Leatherhead FC

A well balanced match saw The Hillians field 5 fifteen year olds to battle it out against a more experienced Leatherhead side at Leylands Park.
Both sides passed well at times but between them only managed to produce a few half-chances in front of goal. As half time approached fast, both sides battled for the majority of the possession without real success.
Although Leatherhead opened the scoring mid-way through the second half, it was Burgess Hill who should have scored when Louis Foreman struck the bar after a sweeping move, which ended in an agonising finish for the home side.
Leatherhead then began to get more confident into their team and as legs began to tire and substitutes were used, Leatherhead's second half substitute scored his second goal of the game to effectively seal the result for the visitors.
Considering the emerging young talent being blooded by Burgess Hill Town Youth, it can be considered another step in the development of youth football at this club and can only bode well in the future.

Squad: Betts (GK), Marks (C), Blythe, Catton, Ford, Bannister, Agate, Dunkley, Sinclair, Foreman L, Daniel
Subs: Lee, Forman D, Ballamy, Cook ......... Notable performances: Ford, Bannister, Daniel

Crawley Down

 

2 - 3 (aet)

 

Burgess Hill Town

After beating Polegate Grasshoppers in the first round, Crawley Down were up next to face the Young Hillians.
Burgess Hill took a while to settle in to the match and found themselves 1-0 down half way through the first period through an unfortunate goal that defender Jack Finch did everything to prevent. Striker Louis Forman managed to get a few shots away but was unable to grab a goal back for Burgess Hill.
After the break, Town showed their better side and were having most of the possession in the early stages. The game then turned into end-to-end football, although Town still had the edge over the home side. Finally, inside the last 15 minutes, Finn MacMillan struck a shot with his left foot from outside the 18-yard box which flew into the far bottom corner for his second goal in consecutive rounds. MacMillan was then involved in a 50-50 tackle which resulted in a swollen ankle after Town had used both their permitted substitutes. This meant Burgess Hill would have to play the rest of this match with 10 players.
Nothing between these sides meant an extra 30 minutes were needed to separate them. Roughly 10 minutes in, Conner Catton slid into a tackle and unfortunately missed the ball to bring down a Crawley Down striker, a penalty was awarded. Keeper Shameer Cadamally capped a brilliant performance by saving the penalty but unfortunately parried it back into the path of the taker who made no mistake second time around.
In the second half of extra time, Burgess Hill had the majority of the possession and did everything but score. Finally, Lewis Taylor found space on the right wing to receive the ball, dribbled into the box at defenders which caused one to trip him up, a penalty was awarded to Burgess Hill. Joe Sinclair took responsibility and struck the ball down the centre of the goal whilst the keeper dived out of the way.
As the end of extra time was nearing, penalties looked to be deciding this match. Suddenly, the ball flew in from the left wing across the Town penalty box towards a Crawley Down striker which he controlled with his lower arm, Burgess Hill appealed for handball but nothing was given, the player then went on to strike the ball across goal past the outstretched Cadamally.
Burgess Hill were gutted to have lost the match just seconds from the end, although doing well to hold on for as long as they did with 10 players. On another day Hill would have won comfortably and gone through to the 3rd round.

Squad: Cadamally (GK), Marks (C), Forman D, Catton, Finch, Taylor, Ross, Lee, Blythe, MacMillan, Forman L ......... Subs: Sinclair, Cornwell

Burgess Hill Town

2 - 2

Horsham Town

The Young Hillians went into their 3rd League match hoping to grab their first points of the season, after previously starting brightly, but fading badly towards the end of the first two matches at this level. The first period saw two determined sides evenly matched, but Horsham took the initiative through two vey good deliveries from set pieces, so an unlucky Burgess Hill found themselves two nil down at half time. Lessons needed to be quickly learned and this young side which again contained three 15 year olds, including Tom Stillwell who had been drafted in from the Under 16's, needed a concerted and determined effort to avoid another defeat. Matt Daniel gave his side the belief that only comes with goals when he netted from an improving Banister's sharp cross. Hillians pushed on from here and were now right on top of their game enjoying the majority of possession. Then Louis Forman, who again worked hard all night got the ball down the left and sent over a cross which was expertly finished by Lewis Taylor at the far post. The boys created more opportunities and could have gone on to win the game, but in the end were happy to grab their first point, especially after coming from behind.

Squad: Skeet (GK), Marks (C), Blythe, Stillwell, Catton, Bannister, Agate, Daniel, Sinclair, Forman L, Taylor
Subs: Lee, Forman D, Ballamy

Polegate Grasshoppers

1 - 4

Burgess Hill Town

Just fourteen boys travelled to Polegate this week for the first round of the County Cup. Burgess Hill were without a number of players from the previous week, including three injuries. However, this gave an opportunity to Fabian Mowatt, Alex McCreadie and Carl Daly to make their debuts for the club.
A hard and uneven pitch made it difficult for both teams to play football. After a settling down period, Town should have taken the lead on at least two occasions. However, club captain James Marks made a name for himself by finishing casually into the bottom corner inside the first 20 minutes.
Burgess Hill continued to press and earned themselves a second goal, scored by striker Finn MacMillan with his weaker foot from outside the penalty area.
Joe Sinclair added another goal just before half time with a left foot finish from 6 yards into the near corner.
After the break, Polegate came out looking more confident and managed to grab a goal inside the first 5 minutes, which goalkeeper Mowatt could do nothing to avoid. Town then took control again, and Sinclair grabbed a further goal after beating his defender and finishing into the roof of the net.
It is fair to say that Burgess Hill deserved their victory and go through to play another away match against Crawley Down in the next round.

Notable performances: Catton, Ross, Blythe
Squad: Mowatt (GK), Marks (C), Forman D, Catton, Finch, Lee, Sinclair, Blythe, Ross, MacMillan, Forman L ...... Subs: McCreadie, Daly, Cornwell

Carshalton Athletic FC

8 - 0

Burgess Hill Town

The Youth Squad played had their first taste of FA Cup action at the Memorial Sports Ground in Carshalton.
In similar style to the game at Eastbourne, the boys started brightly and could have taken the lead through 2 or 3 decent efforts. However it was not to be and Carshalton grabbed two goals before half time.
During the second half however, the home sides' class began to shine through as they dominated the midfield and created a number of opportunities for their grateful forwards. Two further goals emanating from unforced errors caused by inexperience on the part of the young Town side saw the game slip away from the visitors mid way through the second period.
Credit should be given to this very young side which included 3 fifteen year olds who kept their composure and heads up throughout to the admiration of their opponents.
Notable performances: Avery, Agate, Forman L

Squad: Skeet (GK), Marks(C), Avery, Catton, Finch, Lee, Bannister, McMillan, Blythe, Daniel, Forman L ........ Subs: Mowatt (GK), Forman D, Sinclair, Cornwell, Agate

Eastbourne Town FC

3 - 0

Burgess Hill Town

Fifteen of the newly assembled Youth Squad travelled to Eastbourne to undertake their first game at Ryman League level.
The starting eleven included goalkeeper Matthew Skeet, who had only signed days before the match having been spotted playing against Town the previous weekend in a friendly game against Hassocks under 18's. Also starting were two 15 year olds Lance Avery and Matthew Daniel.
After a settling down period Town played some very attractive flowing football and should have taken the lead on at least two occasions. However, the team came in at half time a goal down having been the better of the two sides.
The boys continued playing good football during the second half as driving rain and strong winds picked up worked against them.
Although substitutions were made to combat mental and physical exhaustion, the Town boys could do nothing to stop a further two goals in the second half.
This vey new squad came out of their first Ryman league with much credit and promise not to mention several accolades from watching officials from both Clubs.

Notable performances: Skeet, Marks, Catton

Squad: Skeet (GK), Marks (C), Avery, Catton, Finch, Lee, Bannister, Blythe, Daniel, Ballamy, Forman L ............ Subs: Mowatt (GK), Forman D, Sinclair, Cornwell
