Binfield Buffalos 0 v 2 California Tornadoes

California Dreaming!

Dawn was breaking when the teams arrived at the pitch. With the early start were the boys awake enough to take on the mighty California Tornados??

The boys have been playing well recently and went into this game with confidence. The game started at a quick pace and boys in both teams seemed unaffected by the early start. California were having the better of the play and in the early minutes a good move opened up the Buffalos defence and and a well taken goal into the bottom corner put the visitors in to an early lead. Instead of letting the visitors take control the Buffalos fought back and both teams were playing good football and with chances at both ends both the two teams were unlucky not to score. So the first half was fairly even with California just ahead.

The second half got underway and again California had the upper hand in the opening minutes and fortunately increased their lead by a wonder own goal. Back the Buffalos came and started to put a lot of pressure on the Califorina defence and goalkeeper. Only the post and a couple of shots that went narrowly wide denied the Buffalos a well deserved goal. But despite all the efforts the California defence held firm. But this was not all one way as a few good saves in the Binfield goal denied Califorina from adding to their score. On the day California were just a bit better than us - but only just.

All in all this was a great game of football played in good spirit by both teams at an unearthly hour and with a bit of luck the Buffalos could have sneaked a draw. California just about deserved their victory today but the performance shows that the boys are improving and are not far off challenging for a top 4 place in the league.

Thanks to California for making the early start and well done to all the boys for putting on a good display.

A quote from a manager of another Binfield team after the match "How many did you win that game by" - This tells the story of how close this game was and apart from the first 5 minutes in each half it was an even game.

Man of the Match went to Jordan.

Camberley Royals 1 v 5 Binfield Buffalos

On a chilly fresh morning the Buffalos played their first match in over 2 months. We were without Lewis and Josh W, who were sunning themselves in Florida, so, everybody was hoping that the boys could explode out of the blocks quickly and carry on their rich vein of form and they didn't disappoint!
 
From the KO they broke the Royals 1st attack down and dominated the half creating chance after chance and deservedly taking the lead after 5 minutes. Ellis and Josh G strong at the back broke down the Royals attack and with some good play by Dan and Riley opened the way for Jordan to shoot and score in the top left corner, off the post.
 
The Buffalo's kept pressing and it wasn't long before Rhys was put through and he calmly slotted the ball into to bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance, to make it 2.
 
Louie in goal was having a quiet game, not having to make a save, but dealt well with clearing a few back passes and kicking some good long drop/goal kicks.
 
A third goal was imminent and it came from a quick throw-in by Jake to Rhys who turned his man and played the ball into Dan, who rifled the ball into the back of net.
 
3-0 at half time and a pleased Milton and Rob praised the boys and asked for the same of them in the 2nd half and Lauren to get the teas in!
 
The Royals came out in the second half with more purpose, no doubt after being read the riot act by their Manager.
This wasn't to deter the mighty Buffalo's who carried on where they left off, creating chances and fighting for every ball as if their life depended on it (or a Hot Dog at the van after the match!).
 
10 minutes in and Rhys chased a ball down the right launching a ball into the middle. With the help of the wind, the ball sailed into the top right hand corner leaving the stunned Royals Keeper wondering what had happened.
 
Riley (who was playing with a cricked neck), Jake, Jordan and Dan were breaking down most of the Royals play and anything that did get past them was swept up by Josh G and Ellis.
 
Goal no. 5 came again from the right; Rhys playing a ball into the middle which was neatly curled round the advancing keeper by Jordan, to make it no 2 for him.
 
Credit must go to the Royals who never gave up in the 2nd half and with the advancing Buffalo's leaving themselves short at the back let their striker in. Louie saved well from the 1st two attempts but couldn't keep out the 3rd.
 
The Referee blew the Final whistle shortly after and the Buffalo's celebrated a 5-1 victory.
 
Credit must go to all of the boys today after such a long lay off. They played some good football, battled well and worked well as a team!
 
MOTM went to Josh G who was outstanding at the back with Ellis, defending well, making some good forward runs from the back and making some exceptional headers.

Sponsorship

Hi All

We will be looking for sponsorship for next season where will need to purchase for the boys new kit, training kit, tracksuits etc. etc. etc. If anyone knows of anyone who may be insterested in sponsorship or contributing towards this please could you let Milton know.

We do have a couple of people that may be interested in doing something but as a guide we may be looking to raise somewhere in the region of 1000 pounds either as sole sponsorship or in parts.

In order to ensure all the new kit will be ready for the start of the season we will need to have this in place by June this year.

Please put the word about!
