HORFIELD UNITED

A hard fought win for Horfield Utd. After initially taking a lead through John Burden Horfield went into half time 2-1 down.  John Burden equalised after the break and Horfield went 3-2 up with a Steve Pollock header.   Oldland Abbotoians then equalised and the game was heading for  a draw.  Cerris Owen saved a penalty at 3 -3 to keep Horfield in the game.  With minutes to go John Burden completed his hat-trick with a headed goal.

A good 3 points for Horfield United that takes them up to third in the league

The first home game of 2010 at Muller Road saw a loss for Horfield Utd.  They went down to an early goal before getting one back before half-time.  After half-time another early goal was conceded before an equaliser by James Forbes.  Eventually Southmead ran out 4- 2 winners.

A lack luster display by Horfield which needs to be addressed if any progress is going to be made this season.

Woops!

After 5 weeks of no play due to the bad weather, Horfield Utd finally got to play their first game of 2010. Frampton Athletic were the opponents at their ground.  Conditions were good considering the weather of the last few weeks.

The first half Horfield came out strong and were unfortunate not to lead at half time.  The second half was a lot harder as Frampton Athletic came back strong.  It took a long range effort form Simon Smith to break the deadlock, his first goal in 5 years!  This was followed by a late goal by James Ford in the last few minutes.

A pleasing result for a team that had not played for a long period and good to be back in the swing of playing.

Due to the weather and cup games that need to be fulfilled there will be no fixtures for the next two weeks.

Training as ususal if the weather permits! Enjoy the snow!

Going to be a busy April!

Horfield United played Talbot Knowle United A on Saturday. Twice they came behind to bring the game to 2-2 with goals from Simon Kay and John Burden.  In the end they let in two late goals. A disappointing result after last weeks performance.

There is one game left for 2009 – this Saturday against Southmead Community Centre
