Kidlington OB  3    Hinksey  1

Tuesday, 04 May 2010

Luke Bremner opended the scoring for Hinksey from the spot after Craig Bloomfield was brought down in the area, a hat trick for Daniel Jones (one did take a slight deflection on the way in) rewarded Old Boys with 3 points from a game that was fast and contested strongly by both sides, Luke Bremner did have another opportunity to score from the spot but sent the ball over the bar.

After playing 120 minutes of football in the Presidents Cup Final on the Bank Holiday monday Hinksey were expected to play a league match the following day against Kidlinton Old Boys. Despite the tired legs Hinksey started brightly and started with an assault on Kidlintons goal. David Jennings was the first with an attempt at goal with Kidlingtons keeper saving it easily. Jennings again was on hand with an effort from just outside the box which again was saved only for the ball to fall to Craig Bloomfield whose resulting shot was cleared off the line with the clearance only getting as far as Jennings it looked as though he would punish them but his shot flew just wide. With Hinksey going all out on the Old Boys goal gaps were appearing at the back and one counter attack saw Chris Fujack through on goal in a one on one situation. Martyn Clark, Hinkseys keeper allowed him to enter into the box before he came out to shut down the angle and this decision proved the right one as he saved Fujacks shot. With this scare behind them Hinksey continued to pepper Kidlingtons goal and Jennings, with a long range shot, saw another of his efforts saved this time the keeper tipping the ball onto the crossbar. Another quick counter attack from Kidlington had Daniel Jones tearing into Hinkseys box and just as he was about to shoot Craig Hanlon made a great crunching tackle to win the ball and passed the ball out to safety. Centre back Toby Webster forced Kidlingtons keeper into making a spectacular bottom corner save from a 40 yard freekick. Hinksey were dominating the possession and with a great bit of link up play through the whole team Matino Ventriglia found enough space on the edge of the box to fire off a shot which just went wide. Ventriglia and Kieran Davis were causing all sorts of problems on their wings and a Ventriglia cross cut back to the edge of the area came to Jennings who was disappointed to see his volley go inches wide. Another Venriglia cross landed at Wayne Desmonds feet and his shot beat the keeper only to be cleared off the line by a defender. Hinkseys domination continued and Jennings had anothe r shot saved as he rifled it in from the edge of the box only for the ball to go straight into the keepers hands. Callum Conlon made an awesome tackle on Kidlingtons Daniel Burrows sending Burrows flying in the air and then played the ball down the line to Davis. Davis' Ronaldinho like skills totally baffled the two Kidlington players and  he cut the ball back to the edge of the area to Bloomfield with Bloomfield just about to shoot he was bought down in the area, winning a penalty. Luke Bremner stepped up to take it and sent the keeper the wrong way. Making it 1-0 to Hinksey. QWith Half time approaching Christian Thomas' pace found him through on goal only for Clarke to save his shot.
 
The second half started exactly the same with Hinksey in control. AVentriglia corner was crossed in deep to Hanlon who headed the ball back into Desmond who volleyed the ball just over. Thomas' pace was proving a good outlet for Kidlingtons  clearances and on another forray forward his pace found him haring down the wing breaking into the box and cutting the ball back for Jones who just slotted the ball home, making the score level. Hinksey carried on attacking their hosts and another corner found Bremner on the six yards box but his header could only rattle the cross bar. Davis saw a shot from the edge of the area go just wide. With Hinksey continuing their attack on goal they were unlucky to see Conlon dismissed as he accidentally bought down Jones as he was through on goal. With Hinksey now down to ten men Kidlington had more of a chance and one shot saw Clarke beaten but fortunately, for Hinksey, Hanlon was on hand to clear off the line. The Old Boys were starting to get a bit of momentum and their attacks were more regular with Jones beating Clarke on the edge of the area all he had to do was roll the ball into the goal but instead he hit the post and the ball bounced back into into the safety of Clarkes hands. Kidlington now had a spell of domination and made good use of it when Jones had a shot from the edge of the box deflect in off Thomas. This woke Hinksey up and despite being a man down they regained control of the possession and began to again go at Kidlington. Webster floated a cross in and Bremner rose to meet it but couldn't nod the ball down and the ball went over the bar. A ball over the top found Fujack through on goal and with only the keeper to beat he scooped the ball high and wide of the goal. The goal kick found Bremner who skipped his way throught the middle of the pitch and into the box as he weaved his way through the Kidlington defence he was bought down and awarded a penalty. He stepped up to take it and skied it. With the game coming to an end Hinksey pushed players forward to try to grab an equaliser which left them vulnerable at the back. Anothe rbreak forward saw Jones again using his blistering pace it seemed like he was fouled but he stayed on his feet entered the box and unselfishly again cut the ball back to Thomas who smahed the ball into the back of the net making it 3-1. Hinksey tried their best but with tired legs couldn't get back into the game and the scoreline remained 3-1.

On a red hot saturday afternoon, Old Boys and Oakley met again for the 2nd time in 3 days. After a 4-1 win for Old Boys last Thursday night Old Boys started the brighter and after 10 minutes Jimmy Williams superbley headed home a pin-point cross delivered from Kristian Thomas, with Old Boys continuing to push it only took another 5 minutes for Kristian Thomas to head home after a well delivered corner worked by Danny Burrows and Andy Wiffen. Oakley started to push Old Boys back but the Kidlington defence stood firm and it was on 35 minutes that Jimmy Williams got his second when he beat the offside trap to take his tally to 4 in 4 games.

A lot of water was taken on at half time and both teams started to look for goals, Oakley pushed and pushed but found Old Boys center backs Darren King and Ryan Randell in rock solid form. A long kick down the field from a now well tanned goal keeper Wayne Foster sent sub Chris Fujak through one-on-one against the Oakley keeper, but Fozzie had to much time on the ball and in the end embaressingly passed it back to the Oakleys keeper Andy Durndell. After that the heat started to get to both teams and the game started to die down until the 91st minute when a great cross in again from Andy Wiffen landed to Daniel Jones whos miscontrol led to an overhead kick attempt that wrong footed the Oakley keeper but was well cleared off the line by an Oakley defender.

Full time Old Boys 3 (Jimmy Williams 2 & Kristian Thomas) Oakley 0.

Saturday, 23 January 2010

Cheney showed the effects of the six-week layoff with a sluggish performance against Kidlington, after starting the game as the stronger team.

The home team nearly took the lead in the first minute when Stuart White broke through but saw his shot flash past the post with the keeper beaten. They took the lead after 15 minutes when Chris Heritage tapped home a cross from White in to an empty net, but failed to capitalize on this advantage and watched as Kidlington fought their way back in to the game and scored three goals before half time and a further goal mid-way through the second half to clinch the points easily. The Kidlington goalscorers were Dave Smith, Andy Wiffen, Kristian Thomas and Daniel Jones.

Broughton & NN  1    Kidlington OB  0

Saturday, 07 November 2009

This was a good entertaining match, Broughton doing a lot of the attacking in the first half, missing a few half chance’s in the process. They should have had a clear cut penalty when Karl Tucker was fouled in the box, but it was missed by referee. Kidlington had one half chance that was blazed high and wide by striker Daniel Wright.

Broughton came out in early in the second half looking for a goal and it come after a Danny Hastie’s corner was headed down by Michael Bolton, this was cleared to the edge of the box to Chris Tillcock who hammered home an unstoppable drive into the top corner. The rest of the chances fell to broughton with player manager Jamie Rimmer heading over from a corner, Steve Norman scoring with a great finish only to be flagged off side. The final score 1-0 to Broughton.
