Penn & Tylers Green FC move up to 5th after hard fought win at Woodley Town

Good on the road again

Captian Hurst shakes hands

Penn & Tylers Green FC travelled to Charvil (please contact club secretary for history) in Berkshire on Thursday night for their third game in six days, to play Woodley Town who were undefeated for an impressive nineteen (yes 19!) games. Penn & Tylers Green FC were also undefeated for six games, so it was the classic set up for “something to give”. The biting wind blowing across the pitch brought a wintery feel to the evening.

Reserves are on a good run

Penn & Tylers Green FC Reserves V Ascot United Reserves 3:0

Happy Gaffers

After the disappointing news of Slough Town pulling out of Saturdays game due to an apparent poor pitch (more like no team available) the boys were ready to get back into the swing of things and go for another victory, can we win two in succession?

The game started in windy conditions as usual at French meadows with the boys in blue playing downhill, wind assisted. We started the better side matching them ball for ball, the middle of the park was loaded up again with the strength of skipper Bertie, the Fitness of Steve the runner Harrison and the cool calm footballer of Luke Harman.

Four points out of the last two games for the First Team

Good away win at Thatcham on Saturday and a good home draw against a strong Maidenhead side tonight

The action at French School Meadows

It was good to witness the boys actually comprehensively win a match in appalling conditions on Saturday at Thatcham without the usual nerve ends jangling. The boys in blue and white played some good stuff as well. Over the last few weeks it has been a pleasure to watch the team play and they really are coming together as a unit and team. We have not enjoyed watching Penn & Tylers Green more than this season. We really do have a strong squad now, and what we like is the fact that Giovanni Sepede is always looking to improve.

Unlucky defeat in the Maidenhead Norfolkian Cup final

Brave A-Team lose after a good battle

The A-Team

It was not to be. The coach left French School Meadows around 17:00 hand headed for the lovely old quaint York Road Ground; the world’s most continuously played on football stadium. After the disappointment of Friday’s game being called off due to a waterlogged pitch the boys were rearing to go in front of a decent crowd. Continue reading…

Three in a row

Penn & Tylers Green U 14 Rangers are on a run

Star Player - Corbin Vaughn

We started the day with equal points from equal games played. After a night of heavy rain both teams were determined to make the best of a very sticky pitch surface. The sun was now out and a breeze from left to right gave the visitors a slight advantage kicking off for the first half.

Both teams played with considerable width, moving the ball from side to side avoiding the midfield mud bath. Penn passed the ball really well and created some brilliant link-up play down both flanks. In the middle Pymmo and Luke both battled hard, mixing up their escape play wide to Frank and Ben then changing it to route one for Kane and James up front. Continue reading…

The A-Team reaches the Maidenhead Norfolkian Cup Final

The A-Team Keep Silverware Hopes Alive

Howard Homes is mobbed after his penalty saves

The boys in blue & white reached the cup final after a thriller at French School Meadows when they beat brave AFC Ascot 4:2 on penalties after the scores were tied 2:2 after normal and extra time.

With all the other senior teams out of the running for silverware it was left to the A-Team to keep the club on course for cup glory. A win today would see Penn & Tylers Green FC travel to Maidenhead United’s York Road Ground on Friday, 12th April 2013 to challenge for the Maidenhead Norfolkian Cup. Continue reading…

Penn & Tylers Green FC 1st team move up to heady heights of 6th in League

Penn & Tylers Green FC 1st team continue their good form

Ready to go

Penn & Tylers Green FC 1st team continued their good form in the league and followed wins over Bracknell Town and Headington Amateurs with a 2-0 home win over Milton United on Easter Monday and “got out of jail” on Thursday evening with a marvellous 2-2 draw at Maidenhead United after trailing 2-0 with six minutes to go. That is a very creditable point’s tally of 10 out of 12 over the four games in the last nine days. Continue reading…

Another Double for the First Team

Good comeback after Thursday’s cup disappointment

Penn & Tylers Green FC 5 – Headington Amateurs 1

Ready to go

The A’s as Headington Amateurs are known were formed in 1949 as the Britannia Football Club, named after the local public house in Headington. They probably would have preferred to be in that very pub today after this afternoon’s league fixture at French School Meadows.

After Thursday’s exit in the Reading Senior Cup at Chinnor against Marlow United we needed a good response in what is a very busy Easter Schedule. Well, that is exactly what we got today.

Skipper Chris Hurst before the game

The boys in blue & white gave the right response this afternoon and secured another double against a high flying side. Headington Amateurs are a good team (the table always tells the truth) but today it was going to be our day. This was the case despite their excellent goalkeeper Harry Jenkins, who is not just a good keeper but also a good sport and a gentleman. Continue reading…

The Road to the Madejski hit a Dead End

Reading Senior Cup Quarter Final – Penn & Tylers Green FC 0 Marlow United 2

Before Kick Off

This was a disappointing evening at Chinnor today. Marlow United were the better side tonight and won a hard fought cup encounter to reach the semi-final in the Reading Senior Cup. The first 20 minutes belonged to the visitors from Marlow and some suicidal defending helped them to obtain an early 2:0 lead; and that was that really. The boys in blue never recovered from that. Marlow were hungrier under the floodlights tonight and saw the game out to reach the next stage of the competition.

Action at Chinnor

This was a shame after such a good result away to Bracknell on Tuesday night.

Let us hope for a quick recovery for Saturday’s and Monday’s home fixtures over the Easter holiday. The reserves have two away games on the same days. Let us keep our fingers crossed.

Andreas Latta (Secretary)

Home games off – again!!

Pitches waterlogged and now covered in snow.

A Spring March Morning in Penn

The pictures were taken by our Secretary at 9:30 this morning. Yet another round of postponements, will the weather ever be kind to us this year?

Paul Benning’s and Mitch Dean’s A-Team semi-final clash against AFC Ascot in the Maidenhead Norfolkian Cup had to be called off again; this time due the pitches being waterlogged last night and completely covered in snow this morning. Continue reading…
