AFC EWELL B 1 v 1 REDHILL TOWN
Redhill Town U9 stay 3rd in the table with a well deserved 1-1 draw against AFC Ewell B.
The first half was a hard fought battle in the midfield, soaking up a lot of early pressure until eventually conceding a goal in the 15th min to go in 1-0 down at half time.
The second half saw the introduction of Haydn Puttick in midfield and Joshua Bayode in defence which gave a more solid shape to the Redhill town team. Luke Stevens and Haydn Puttick won some very important tackles and created some great passing moves down the wings to eventually set up Zach Layne to score his 12th goal of the season.
Man of the match: Zachariah Layne

West Byfleet Scorpions U11s 2 Redhill Town U11s 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having not played for 8 weeks it was inevitable that Redhill would be somewhat “match rusty”. Scorpions had the better of the early exchanges but the Redhill defence held firm.
Having soaked up the early Scorpions’ pressure, Redhill managed their first effort on target in the 14th minute, and 2 minutes later they were ahead when Harry Williams tapped home from close range.
Scorpions got themselves back in the game just before half-time when Redhill failed to clear a free-kick and the ball was bundled over the line following a goalmouth scramble.
Redhill started to get their game together in the second half, and re-took the lead in the 53rd minute. Joel Sowton’s free-kick from the edge of the box evaded everyone and crept in at the far post.
Scorpions, though, proved they did have a sting in their tail. With just 2 minutes to go, Scorpions broke down the left and the resulting low cross somehow evaded Case-Green and trickled across the face of the Redhill goal before hitting the far post and crossing the line.
On the balance of play, a draw was probably a fair result, but Redhill will be looking to push on during the remainder of the season.

On Sunday town's U18's side took on a tough opponent in Tandridge A league side Wallington Wanderers in the 2nd round of the league cup.
The game set off at a quick pace with chances at either end. The teams seemed equally matched from the start, and it looked like a stroke of luck would be the only thing to separate the two sides. Luckily this went Town's way. About 15 minutes in town were awarded a corner which was scored directly by Nick Harlow on his Redhill debut. After taking the lead Redhill looked on top throughout, and Steve Buxton had many chances after terrorising the Wallington defence all game, however he was unlucky not to have doubled town's lead before the break.
Town went in 1-0 up at the break.
When the teams came out for the second half Town started well and looked determined to keep their lead and progress to the next round. This was helped 5 minutes into the second half when Steve Buxton was played through after some good play in the midfield from Jack Caffyn, Nick Harlow and Ross Mcgovern. Buxton was one on one with the keeper and made no mistake in slotting home to put town 2-0 up.
Town started to tire towards the end of the game, and this showed as Wallington got a goal back to make it 2-1 with 15 minutes to go. Town were rocked by this but tried their best to keep their cool. Wallington were then reduced to 10 men after poor discipline from one of the Wallington defenders. However, Wallington then equalized with only 6 minutes of the 90 to go to send the game into extra time.
After a good talking to by manager Anthony Reynolds, town came out working hard and fighting. Unfortunately after a good break from town, Wallington broke away on a counter attack which lead to a goal. The reds looked defeated but didn't give up and gave 100% throughout. On the stroke of half time in extra time, Wallington doubled their lead to go into the break 4-2 up. Anthony Reynolds and the Club's director of football, Janet Creighton, spoke to the side at half time and it seemed to work. Town came out for the last 15 minutes battling hard and as a team. It seemed as though Town were to lose in extra time, when with only 6 minutes of extra time to go, captain Jack Caffyn picked up a loose ball, drove inside and smashed home into the bottom corner with his left foot to get one back for town. This goal seemed to lift the side and give everybody involved a bit more belief. With 30 seconds left to play, the ball was hit long by Town's keeper and man of the match Billy Brawn. Jack Caffyn leaped the highest to head the ball on target and with a slight deflection and in dramatic style, town were level and the game went to penalties.
Town were unlucky not to win this game after going down 9-8 on penalties. But the whole club is proud of the side after the passion and desire shown by the squad. It was a valiant effort and the boys did the club proud, they will now concentrate on climbing the league table.
Hopefully will give you an update to Jan 15-16th this week though not many matches will be played.
