Desperation to Delight!!!

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.

U17 Park 2 Ascot Scorpions 2

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.

 

Apr 16, 2016

Ashridge Park Royals U17 9 Sandhurst 0

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.

 

Apr 09, 2016

U17 Park 2 Cove Youth 4

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.

 

Apr 09, 2016

Laurel Park Whirlwinds 2 Ashridge Park Royals U17 2

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.

12 March : Shinfield Rangers U18 1 Ashridge Park Royals U17 2

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.

 

Mar 05, 2016

5 March: AFC Caversham Hurricanes U17 2 Ashridge Park Royals U17 5

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.

 

Feb 27, 2016

27 February: Ashridge Park Royals U17 1 Whitegrove Pythons U 17 2

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.
 

Feb 20, 2016

February 20: Reading Rangers 3 Ashridge Park Royals U17 1

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.

 

Feb 20, 2016

U17 Park 6 v U18 Reeves

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.

 

Feb 20, 2016

West byfleet U18 3 v 1 U17 Park

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.

 

Feb 06, 2016

February 6: Ashridge Park Royals U17 2 Caversham Trents U17 0

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.

30 January 2016: Camberley Town U 17 0 Ashridge Park Royals U 17 5

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.

 

Jan 23, 2016

U17 Park 2 v Fleet Spurs 1

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.

 

Jan 20, 2016

20 January: Ashridge Park Royals U17 3 Elstead Sharks 0

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.

 

Dec 19, 2015

Ashridge Park Royals (U17) 1 Laurel Park Whirlwinds (U17) 1

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.

Wokingham Winter Carnival

​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.

Whitegrove Pythons 2 Ashridge Park Royals U17 5

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.

Caversham Trent Whites 0 Ashridge Park Royals 4

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.
 

Oct 10, 2015

Ashridge Park Royals 5 Camberley Town Rebels 0

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.
 

Oct 10, 2015

Bracknell 3 Ashridge Park 1

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.
 

Oct 03, 2015

3 October: Bracknell Cavaliers Saints 0 Ashridge Park Royals 5

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.

The long distance away match

02/10/15
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.

Elstead Sharks 0 Ashridge Park Royals 17

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

Sep 19, 2015

Ashridge Park Royals 2 Sandhurst 3

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.
 

Sep 12, 2015

Twyford Comets 1 Ashridge Park Royals 5

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.
