UP THE HILL
From the touchline...
TIED IN NOTTS
It’s always a tough game
against Nottsborough who, once
they get in front, are a difficult
side to beat. Saturday was no
exception.
Nottsborough, with the wind at
their backs, sailed into a 3 - 0
half time lead. The first two
goals were both from right wing,
left footed corners hit into the
six-yard box which the Hill defence failed to deal with. The
third from a free kick floated
into the area and headed on
which Tobi Claridge could not
get a strong enough hand to.
This third goal was a little fortunate as there was a push on our
defender to give the scorer an
unchallenged opportunity.
Three-nil at half time meant
changes. The Hill played the
second half with a back three,
bringing on Kalil Rouse and
Leroy Lunghu for Marco Dall’Alba and Tad Heath.
The Hill pressed hard and most
of the play was in the Nottsborough half of the pitch. The
breakthrough came with a free
kick out towards the left touchline. Andy Barrell lined up his
shot and struck; the ball floated
over the keeper into the far
corner to give the Hill a glimmer
of hope.
Try as we may, we just couldn’t
get past the resolute Notts-
borough defenders. Barrell had
another free kick saved by the
keeper and other efforts went
high or wide of the target.
Nottsborough scored a fourth
goal on the break twenty
minutes from time.
I’m sure the result may have
been different had we kicked
the other way from the outset.
The wind was a huge advantage and it even dropped in
the second half!
Still, no moans, Nottsborough
deserved the win on the day.
Poor defending cost the Hill
dearly.
Hill Round Up - Saturday 8 November
The Reserves were at Old Salesians and their poor run continued with a 3 - 1 defeat. Ben
Turner scored the consolation

AFA Senior Cup
Saturday 8 November
Winchmore Hill welcomed their SAL rivals

found ourselves 3-0 down and effectively out

ing the visitors dominated possession but it
was not an excuse for the goals conceded.
Three set pieces, three headers (largely unchallenged) and three goals.
After this, Nottsborough could play with a
freedom and confidence that comes from
being in a strong position and Winchmore
panicked in possession and gave the ball
away repeatedly. A couple of decent moves
fashioned some half chances but the scoreline remained the same at half time.
Some tactical changes, moving to three at
the back and then having the conditions in
the home team’s favour meant that Winchmore were able to get on top in the second
half. An early goal from a Barrell free-kick
gave the hosts confidence and some of the
belief that had been lacking and a good 10
minute spell followed until a Nottsborough
break down the left and a whipped in ball
was finished to make it 4-1.
Page 17
This was now game-over, any momentum
that had been built up was gone and the last
15 minutes were fairly uneventful.
Nottsborough were deserved winners and
we wish them luck in the cup which, as we
well know, is a very special competition. It is
disappointing that we surrendered so limply
for another year, but we have to ensure that
this was a one off that will not be repeated.
Given how uncharacteristic the performance
was and the goals conceded were, hopefully
this will be quickly put behind us and we will
return to solid defending and a tempo in our
play that we are associated with. If we have
any intentions on the league, this must happen immediately – next Saturday against
Owens.
Winchmore Hill 3 Old Garchonians 1
Southern Amateur League - Senior Section Division One
Saturday 18 October
HILL SOAK UP THE PRESSURE
An excellent game of football between two
sides that wanted to play football. Winchmore Hill were in the ascendancy in the first
half, playing some good passing football and
outpacing the visitors.
Once again an early goal settled us down.
From an Andy Barrell corner Marco Dall'Alba's glancing header flew in the top corner,
giving the keeper no chance. After 11
minutes the Hill doubled the score when
Rod Beya was put through to score and before the half time whistle blew Beya scored
again with a firm header.
It could have been five or six at the interval.
Chris Davison brought a fine save from the
keeper and we had a good opportunity before scoring the first goal.
Despite the scoreline, Old Garchonians also
played some fine football and were unlucky
to come up against an in form side that took
their chances well. Dall'Alba was winning the
defensive battle, claiming everything in the
air. Tad Heath was making some strong tackles to clear the danger and full backs Mattie
Knights and James Fraser were winning important tackles.
Garchonians came at us in the second half,
having the majority of the territory and possession. Hill were relying on the pace with
quick breaks from the back.
The Hill were defending well but it was a slip
from Tad Heath that gave Garchonians a
glimmer of hope when his weak back pass to
the keeper was a little short. Tobi Claridge
was off his line quickly and threw himself at
the ball but unluckily caught the advancing
forward bringing him down. An obvious penalty followed by a yellow card. Claridge went
the right way but the well taken spot kick
Page 18
UP THE HILL
beat him for pace.
Game on! Garchonians poured forward in
search of a goal to reduce the arrears,
Claridge made a good diving save to his left
and later a good double-fisted punch clear.
Time was running down for the Hill and running out for Garchonians. As the final whistle
blew both teams knew that they had been in
a game of football!

moment of true brilliance.
A slight reshuffle was in order with Creaney
and Chris’ temporary absence from the side.
Reece, free from Tottenham away commitments this week, started in goal, Kelman,
Townsend, Jamie and the ever-reliable, financially astute Salty started at the back.
Lamby and Ross started in the two holding
roles in midfield with Andy just in front. Lewis
and JD began out-wide with Josh spearheading the attack up top. Steve, Jamie K and
Ben were on the bench.
Prior to the game Salty took the team through
a solid warm-up that lasted a grand total of
one minute. To be fair though, it was a whole
one-minute longer than the warm up we had
last week against Crouch End Vampires.
The Hill started well, moving the ball around
fluently as they have done for the past few
games and pressing well.
Ross then produced a Beckham-esque pass
(they work sometimes) over the top of the
defence into the path of Lamby, who struck a
left-footed half volley into the top corner at
the Old Parks goalkeeper’s near post. 1-0.
The moment of brilliance came from Ross by

Crouch End Vampires 0 Winchmore Hill (8s) 3
SAL Minor Section Division Three (North)
Saturday 4 October
It was a drizzly Saturday afternoon and i arrived at the club house after losing Savva on
the Great Cambridge roundabout after he said
he would follow me down. The road is a cruel
mistress.
were Ross (CDM) Lamby (CDM) with Jon
(RAM) Josh (CAM) Louis (LAM) and me upfront, last season I had 11 goals by this game
but this season i couldn't hit water if i fell out
of a boat. Subs were Andy, Kelman and Steve.
Entering the changing room i couldn't help but
notice that no one was wearing any of our
shirts and to confirm my confusion was Steve
coming in and stating "Where's Creane? He's
got the kit" and then eased everyone’s concern by saying "he went drinking last night
and he hasn't got a phone but apparently he
was active on facebook 2 hours ago" but after
a tense five minutes later Creane walks in with
a fresh, clean but albeit damp kit bag.
After catching hypothermia within seconds in
the outside cold from the wet shirt, we made
our way over to our pitch but not before an
attempt on the zipline in the playground by
Reece but it being "too wet" he decided not
to.
The game kicked off and we were straight at
them with a high pressing mentality and we
were soon rewarded after a long ball over the
top for me to run onto and a reluctant goalkeeper meant a collision and the ball to fall
kindly to Jon to tap into an open goal. 1-0 to
the Hill.
After our usual warm up, we got into the
games formation of 4 2 3 1 with Reece in goal
and the back four was Creane (RB) Jamie (CB)
Townsend (CB) Salty (LB) and the midfield five
After a 10 minute spell of dominance and
passing around the midfield we won a corner
which was swung in and found its way to Jon
again to skilfully direct a header into the top
corner. 2-0 to the Hill.
Chances were made and missed by *cough*
me *cough* but not too long after the 2nd
came a blatant foul on Lamby in the box and
the penalty was taken by Josh and saved by
the goalkeeper which seemed to give him a
boost of confidence but to be fair if the keeper dived the other way I would be talking
SEASON 2014-15 NUMBER 5
about a lovely penalty scored.
Half time came and the game was underway
again.
A couple more chances dropped to me but
again i couldn't hit a barn door in my recent
form. Until I produced a magical semi-assist for
the third goal after a elegant face control from
Jon fell to my feet and I ignored Josh’s cries to
lay it off to left but instead turned and went to
the right spread it out to Louis who lofted it
into the box and who rises above the keeper
and heads it into the net? Non other than Josh.
3-0 to the Hill.
Kelman came on earlier in the half and played
excellently at right back. Steve also came on to
play up top late on. A couple more chances fell
including a brilliant save to keep out Louis and
after an immense surge from the back from
Townsend but unfortunately couldn't find the
open net.
The game looked as if it was going to a slow
end with our defence brushing away any
threats until suddenly there was a break from
their left midfield and he was bearing down on
goal until Townsend’s last ditch attempt caught
the defenders legs outside the box and the inevitable followed after that. Red. (He did clear
the ball off the line though like 5 minutes before, so you know, swings and roundabouts)
Without even looking he already began jogging
Page 21
to the sideline , some say it wasn't needed seeing as we were 3-0 up with barely minutes to
go but Reece was very keen to display gratitude
after the resulting freekick went over and he
got his first clean sheet of the season.
Shoutout to the defence for holding strong
with big challenges coming from Jamie and
Ross.
Andys cameo appearance even though he was
carrying an injury. Reece with a few tremendous saves even from some unfortunate clearances.
All in all a great performance from the boys.
MOTM was close between Kelman and Louis
but Louis was unstoppable today, a constant
threat and could've ended with a goal and
more assists.
Savva played the part of supporter very well
after his groin injury? Or is it the hamstring?
Maybe it's the calf but he seems to not know
the names of his body parts.
Normally I throw in some facts or something
completely irrelevant to the report. So here it
is.
It’s weird that pirates would go from shore to
shore looking for buried treasure when the real
treasure was in the friendships they were making.
Old Parkonians 1 Winchmore Hill (5s) 3
SAL Junior Section Division Four
Saturday 25 October
An away trip to Old Parkonians for a league
match was next on the footie menu for The Hill
Fifth team. The pre-game press conference
was cancelled as the A406 had some sections
closed which meant most of the squad had pregame trips round Ilford. The resulting delay ate
into the team warm up time a bit but The Hill
arrived in good spirits and expecting a tough
encounter against a Parks side who were unbeaten in the league.
The Hill lined up with Dave ‘The Cat’ Baker in
goal, a back 4 of Oakley, Kerridge, Turner and
Barnes, Krich, Adnams, Gymah and Tavarez in
midfield with Fujamade and Baker up front
which left Anastasiou raring for action on the
bench.
There were two significant absentees this
week; defensive lynchpin Nick Murty and CoCaptain Mark Barrell. Murty was involved in
the Tough Mudder charity event (which apparently entailed getting a shiner from a knee in
the face!) and Barrell was accompanying many
other club representatives (mainly 8s, one 4) on
a scouting/fact-finding mission to Crete hoping
to improve international relations for the club.
Some rumours suggest more harm than good
Page 22
UP THE HILL
might have been done but we await the official reports. Either way, many observers have
questioned the organisation of the annual trip
as it is always booked from Saturday to Saturday meaning 2 matches missed! Boo!
Anyway, back in Redbridge.. As soon as the
whistle blew Parks flew into The Hill with
some robust tackling in a clear attempt to assert their physicality in the game. Thankfully
The Hill were in a no-nonsense mood themselves and matched the home side’s steel in
the tackle. This was particularly good as the
referee was applying a liberal approach to the
advantage rule! Adnams, Fujamade, Krich and
Baker all found themselves on the end of
some tasty challenges in the opening exchanges.
The Hill looked good in possession and were
also working hard without the ball. After a
battling opening 10 minutes the ball was recycled well in the midfield and played out wide
to full back Neil Barnes who advanced into the
left midfield position (almost like he was trying to tell the management something..).
After looking up to assess the defensive
shape, Barnes sent a raking ball from left wing
into the area. This caused havoc in the defence and when the keeper flapped at it and
the ball dropped, Femi Fujamade pounced to
capitalise in predatory fashion for his 7th goal
in 4 games. 0-1 to The Hill.
The Hill were playing some decent football in
spells and any time they passed the ball with a
bit of patience they would create chances.
The home side were combative and still carried a threat hitting the post before half time
and also forcing Dave ‘The Cat’ Baker into an
excellent save with his feet. Those chances
were a warning for The Hill and they responded well with some resolute defending whilst
maintaining their attacking threat. At the other end Andrew Gymah was annoyed at himself
for not repeating his long range efforts from
the last match after an opportunity presented
itself and Paul Baker had a one on one chance
saved as The Hill looked to add to their lead.
Ten minutes before the break Gymah robbed
a Parks player of possession as Parks tried to
play out of defence and following an exchange
of passes he got to the by line and crossed
into the box where Baker was waiting. Baker
challenged for the ball with the keeper trying
to claim it and defender jumping, none of the
3 players got any meaningful contact and all
landed at the same time. Fortunately the ball
bounced down just outside the 6 yard box at
the feet of Baker who slotted past the keeper
inside the near post in true fox-in-the-box
style. 0-2 to The Hill.
With 5 minutes left of the half, defenders
Turner and Kerridge appealed to the team to
be smart and not commit too many players
forward. They did this as both of them
trotted forward to into the opposition penalty
to attack a corner!
Half time - 0-2 to The Hill
Substitution; Anastasiou on for Krich and The
Hill were 45 minutes away from a solid win on
the road. Parks started the 2nd half with a real
determination to get back into the match and
nearly did on several occasions. There were
an array of chances as The Hill lost their shape
and organisation. There were near-miss headers from corners, an excellent long range
effort that hit the bar and some superb goalkeeping from Dave ‘The Cat’ Baker who
blocked one close range effort and stopped
another one on one chance.
Under the cosh and not looking after the ball
in possession The Hill were inviting pressure
and sitting deeper and deeper. They were
living a charmed life but were still trying to
pass when they did actually get possession;
the Parks effort was just rather stifling. However, The Hill remained committed to the defensive effort and were rewarded with another goal, this time against the run of play.

SAL Junior Section Division Four
Saturday 11 October
‘Jaegerbombed!’, ‘Boogalosers!’, ‘Hoxton Ponies!’.. just some of the Saturday morning
headlines brought up at the 5th team prematch press conference. The media questioning was dominated by the widely reported
sightings of numerous ‘refreshed’ 5th Team
players across the capital enjoying alcohol–
fuelled late Friday nights. These stories added
extra interest in the league clash with the rather dangerous and good footballing side Bank
of England 3s, a team that The Hill beat 3-0 on
the opening day of the season but that was a
score line that did not do BOE justice.
Co-Captains Will Adnams and Mark Barrell
(both wearing sunglasses) found themselves
being accused of poor match preparation for
the team. Adnams responded: ‘We can’t
speak too much about that; all we can say is
that we are currently looking at ways to start
games better. We’re a forward thinking team
and are open to experimental approaches.
Sports scientists might suggest that alcohol
has a negative effect on athletes.. well, as
many a visionary has said; you can prove anything with facts can’t you? All we’re saying is
let’s not close any doors.. relaxing on a Friday
night might mean a mentally fresh player on a
Saturday mightn’t it? ’ This response was met
with laughter and derision by the gathered
journalists at which point Adnams stormed
out of the press conference and into a utility
cupboard before finding the exit. Barrell remained to face the questions but the 5s media

pictures of the lovely green pitches as the
buzz of the sports centre amped up the pregame excitement. In team news.. a number

Femi Fujamade with rumours circulating that
he was doing an international property deal
with an Irish property tycoon. Starting lineup: Dave ‘The Cat’ Baker, Barnes, Murty,
Turner, Kerridge, Adnams, Gymah, Barrell,
Tavarez, Krich and Baker with Jack Oakley on
the bench.
The 5s attempt at starting games better
seemed to be working OK but the first 10
minutes did not really present many chances.
Both teams looked good in possession but
appeared to want to rush the play, anxious to
get the first goal. It looked as if the first team
who were more considered in possession
would probably get the breakthrough. Fortunately it was The Hill that struck first; a decent
passage of passing down the left with

Tavarez just inside the area. He committed a

WINCHMORE HILL & ENFIELD 2 HENDON & MILL HILL 1
Saturday 6th December
After a well organised warm up and drill we were
ready to start. From the whistle the ladies were
straight onto Hendon & Mill Hill heels, taking control
of the game and pushing the opposition hard. We
dominated the first half, with some amazing attacks
and fantastic play, building from the defence and
putting a lot of pressure on the opposition defence.
Put the date in your
diary, more details will
be circulated later..
Middlesex League Premier Division
Saturday 1 November
Our scoring started from Gemma Burd, who made
an amazing supporting run from defence, took the
ball just inside the D and hit the ball cleanly on goal
to score her second league goal of the season.
WH&E continued to attack the game with some
creative and unstoppable runs from Kerri Marshall
up the right wing with support from the forwards
and midfield. After subbing, we continued to control
the game and were unfortunate to have a goal disallowed (a kick of the ball in the D from Andrea Bull,
whoops!). The play continued and shortly after we
went 2 - 0 up with another cracking goal from Liz
Coates.
We went into the second half with the same positive
attitude. Unfortunately the opposition had taken a
change in formation in an attempt to mark Kerri out
of the game. We retaliated by moving Kerri to centre
forward. Although this tactic worked, we were very
unsettled with the change of shape and Hendon &
MH were fortunate to catch us on the break, scoring
a lucky goal. In response we returned to our original
starting line up to try to regain control of the game.
We soon settled back into our stride, using the entire pitch, switching across the back and not being
afraid to take the ball back out to create space.
Special mention to the umpires, Sue Murphy
(WH&E) and Abdul (H&MH) who kept the game
flowing, creating a great match atmosphere.
Player of the Match was a well-deserved Gemma
Burd who is completely back on form and then
some!
Winchmore Hill & Enfield v Welwyn Garden City
Saturday 8 November
I don't normally get round to writing a match report
these days because as you all you with your own
lives there is so much going on, but I really did want
to write a little on this match just to update everyone and give them a flavour of the game. I have
now umpired 6 of the 8 games that our M1's have
played in the league so far this season and I have to
say that in my opinion they continue to improve
and improve enormously. Ok, it's a totally different
team this year and a team and an ethos that Gary H
is trying to bring to the M1's with Duane's help and
I for one do think we are looking at a different 1st
team compared to previous seasons. Don't get me
wrong, our experienced stalwarts and ex M1's are
still quality players and their performance in the
SW5 league shows that but our new M1's have a
real energey about them. This game started fast
and our lads were on the front foot immediately
and 4 minutes into the game as the ball was
knocked into Welwyn's 'D' Russell swept the ball
using the reverse side of his stick to lob the keeper.
As the keeper floundered, he managed to pad the
ball upwards but had lost it in the air and the ball
appeared to be going in behind him as it looped
down. As the ball landed their keeper was lucky not
to knock the ball in his own net as he turned and
cleared the ball. So was this an indication of the
type of match that we were going to be treated to?
It certainly was. 6 minutes later Welwyn burst
through on a break and scored a very well worked
goal that was moved between 3 of their players on
a 3 on 2 power-play before they knocked the ball
into our net. Welwyn were now starting to feel as
though they were on the upper hand and were
certainly playing well until less than a minute later Sam Turmaine received the ball just inside the D
with his back to goal and with two more touches he
had pushed the ball to his right and had struck the
ball reverse stick into the top of the Welwyn goal.
In fairness I have seen Sam score some amazing
goals and this one was right up there. As the game
progressed it was pretty even, however, this is the
SEASON 2014-15 NUMBER 5
first game I think I have ever been involved in
(playing or umpiring) when the ball has hit the post
to deny a goal on 4 separate occasions. Most notably Luke Overington's shot which was so well hit
and so hard that had it been just 2-3 inches to the
left, it would have maybe even have topped Sam's
goal. To cut a long story short, with only 2 minutes
left on the watch, the game looked like being a
draw until the ball was knocked into the D from the
right and out of nowhere, Sam ran in and 'smashed'
and I mean smashed the ball into the bottom left of
Welwyn's goal. The best I have seen him score since
the one he scored in the 11th minute of this game.
Two beautifully crafted goals which were both top
drawer. The game ended less than 2 minutes later
and as you all know it was a 2-1 win to our boys, but
what you don't know, unless you saw it, that was a
real team performance and the performance of a
team that is growing. My man of the match would
be a really difficult call, Sam was amazing and unstoppable, Luke was a man possessed and was running like a 23 year old spring chicken, Joe....well Joe
is Joe and he certainly got them going and upset
their balance. In the middle Ginge and Gaz the skip
Page 29
were solid and looked not only accomplished on the
ball but also very comfortable and calm, I did like
the combo when they were both on together, Russ,
well again, really really good on the ball and after
last weekend you could have been forgiven if you
thought he might have played flat, far from it, a few
more matches playing alongside Sam and the two of
them will be unstoppable together IMO.....only two
more players to mention and for me Man of the
Match is between these two players, Jack and Jimbo......both played truly amazing hockey on the
day.....Jack with awesome saves and leadership
from the back and Jimbo for stopping just about
everything that came his way, including most of the
power-plays. If I could call it a draw, i would but if I
really had to chose, as close as it is I would give it to
Jimbo, probably cos I've always been a defender but
also because I thought he was just a tiny bit more
awesome than Jack on the day. That said, they were
both awesome and I really mean that. Great to
watch, great to umpire (when they're not moaning)
and well done guys......brilliant!!!!
