Another away at the glamour of Ascot

The wonder of the glorious game

What a throw in. A new year, and throw ins. No roll ins, throw ins. #BOOM!

A great season start by the boys

Summer may be time off school, but park are hungry for football so we did some friendlies.

As always a spectacular two day fiesta of football

Under 17 Park played only their second match in 7 weeks, away against Abbey Rangers. Due to various circumstances we started the match with just 9 players. To the players fantastic spirit the 21 minutes that passed until the 10th player arrived the match was still goalless. We played the rest of the match with 10 men.

More magic on the pitch

Our last game of the season played under floodlights at Ascot. 

A great performance by the team enabled us to get a draw against the team that would win the League 4 days later.

We find ourselves in our final game of the season on a bitterly cold April morning.  How fitting that our final game should be against long-term opponents Sandhurst.  The game was switch to St Crispins as no pitch was available at their venue.

A familiar story as we played a match with 10 men again, no ones fault just the way things have been this season. This is if I am correct the 5th time this season we did not have a full complement.

Plate runners up at Goals.

Another week, another crucial match.  This time, it was a visit to Laurel Park, our main competitor for the runner’s up spot. We had drawn with them in a lively encounter at St Crispin’s earlier in the season, and their abilities were well established illustrated by a run to the semi final of the Cup where they had defeated three First Division teams before finally succumbing to the League’s dominant outfit.Ashridge were slightly under-strength with 2 players missing injured, so the bench had 3 players on it, compared with the five on the home team’s bench.

Another Saturday, another tricky looking away match.  We had been drinking at the fountain on eternal luck when we managed to beat Shinfield 5-4 in our match at Crispins back in December.  Shinfield had subsequently gone on a run of 6 victories and 2 draws since then.

After 2 disappointing defeats we faced a tricky looking encounter with an impressive AFC Caversham team.  With the squad down to its bare bones of the mere starting 11, many of whom were still shaking off the after-effects of a lively Friday evening, and a vast muddy undulating pitch, we were fearing a tough morning.

So, remarkably, we find ourselves hosting our final league match of the season on a deceptively chilly February morning.  There are still 4 tricky looking away fixtures to go, but this is an opportunity to go out in a blaze of glory.
Early portents were good, with Dan’s long ball setting up Alex for a one-one-one with the stand-in keeper, who unfortunately saved the goal-bound effort.

So the moment of truth!  We travelled to table-toppers Reading Rangers, unbeaten all season, with the objective of winning all three points to match their points tally for the season, and throw the championship wide open.  Anything else, and realistically we would be looking at best at a runners up position in this, very successful, season.

A bitterly cold wind tested the supporters endurance. The match started poorly for Ashridge as they conceded a goal after 2 minutes to a simple through ball. We struggled to get into the game and Reeves had more chances to increase their lead.

Another back to the wall display. We started with 10 and finished with 9. We conceded 3 bizarre goals (for different reasons) having taken the lead. The match turned on a unbelievable chain of events in the second half.

After yet more overnight rain, the pitch was deemed to be playable for an encounter with an in-form Caversham Trent team.  The key to success in this match was to start well and put the opponents on the defensive.

Fluidity of play personified

After torrential rain had lead to the postponement of an entire schedule at St Crispins, we were surprised and delighted to find such the pitch in such excellent condition at Camberley.  The pitch seems quite long and narrow, and it was necessary to adapt our tactics accordingly.

For the second week running just 11 players available for the match, and for the second week running the 11 won stretching the unbeaten run to 5 games.

We finally returned to League action after a few weeks of rain with the visit of a much improved Elstead Sharks.  We had beaten them by a large margin early in the season, but they had recruited 6 new players and had won 3 of their last 4 games.

Today we welcomed a strong Laurel Park side to St Crispins. Traditionally Laurel Park had been something of a bogey team of ours, and with the visitors already progressing to the quarter final of the Cup after vanquishing  two Division 1 teams as well as a Division 2 team, it was clear that we would be in for a difficult encounter.

Under 17 Park played only their second match in 7 weeks, away against Abbey Rangers. Due to various circumstances we started the match with just 9 players. To the players fantastic spirit the 21 minutes that passed until the 10th player arrived the match was still goalless. We played the rest of the match with 10 men.

On a perfect morning for football, we welcomed Caversham AFC Hurricanes to St Crispins, 3 weeks after the original fixture had been postponed.

...and the crowd chanted “SHOE SHOE SHOE”

After what has seemed a long time on the road with back to back away fixtures it was a welcome return to the home stadium of St Crispin’s.

​The wintry weather was no match for the hardy souls from Ashridge Park FC, who manned our first ever stall at the Wokingham Winter Carnival. The stall was a huge success, raising further the profile of our club as a vital community organisation, which provides a safe and fun environment for around 300 local children to play football.

After one week’s lay off due to the weather, we welcomed Shinfield Rangers to St Crispins on a pleasant winter’s morning.

As the team cars threaded their way through the inner city, navigated through the urban jungle of Berkshire’s Capital, little prepared us for our destination. Park in the rear playground and follow the fence around the back of the school they said.

Away @ Pinewood this Saturday, although due to the wet week beforehand a change of venue to our training venue at Edgebarrow.

A blast of cold air from Siberia on Friday night resulted in many cancellations this weekend

After a couple of disappointing defeats it was important for us to return to winning ways with a trip to Whitegrove Pythons, a team we had not encountered since our memorable Semi Final victory some 6 years ago.  The game was moved to Bracknell as the Whitegrove home pitch has been taken over by the local travelling community.

After 36 hours of sporadic downpours , on a rain sodden pitch, and under an ominous looking grey sky, we prepared to welcome our highly rated Division 2 visitors from AFC Henley.

So on to the big one.  A top of the table clash saw early season pace-setters Reading Rangers coming to Ashridge to defend their 100% record.

all three under 8′s sides were at the home stadium on the same morning and all three Park, Royals and Rovers had great results.

On a chilly autumn morning we made our first ever visit to Caversham to play Caversham Trents, a team that had just joined the League after playing the past few seasons in the Berkshire Youth Development League.

On a perfect morning for football, Ashridge started the game with no little purpose.  Within the first 5 minutes we already had 4 corners, on 6 minute Dom missed narrowly with a diving header from Owen’s cross, Ben W 20 yard drive was saved well by the keeper and then Ben C’s shot from 30 yards was caught by the busy keeper.

The score does not reflect how well the team played. It was another tight match with the team working well together, taking the coaching on board passing into space and playing great attacking football.

Today saw the 1st Round of the Cup on a fine autumnal morning. Bracknell Cavalier Saints had been very strong opponents last season, convincing 3-0 victors at St Crispins last October and 2-0 winners in the early stages of the Ashridge Park post-xmas renaissance.

Well we made it, all the way to the inner city. Teddington. I know its a long way from #woky, but the boys were up for it and excited about playing so far from home. It was a great match on a good pitch, all in all we had another great morning of Football.

What a glorious late Summer morning for this our maiden trip to Elstead in the picturesque Surrey countryside.

Today we welcomed our rivals from Sandhurst, the only opponent in this season’s division that we played last season.   We expected Sandhurst to be well-organised defensively, and we had to make any opportunities count as chances were likely to be few and far between. We were also wary of their noted prowess from set pieces.

We travelled to near-neighbours Twyford Comets for what was surprisingly, our first ever League encounter, in this, our opening game of the 2015/16 season.  There was a full complement of players, and with 7 goals scored in our 2 pre-season games, hopes were high.

With the extension of our under 8′s to three teams, meet our newest management team leading the Rovers forward, Dr Martin and ‘Big’Alan.
