Gravesham Schools' Football Association U15s District Boys 2017 / 18

KENT CUP AND FRIENDLY FIXTURES
The team have entered the Kent Cup which is played on a League basis. 

Monday 11th September, 2017. KENT CUP.
Maplesden Noakes, 7.30pm kick off.
Gravesham 5 Medway 1 (Scorers: Osborne(3), Bagirtkan, Houghton)
Gravesham started their season on a blustery evening at Maplesden Noakes. The early exchanges were even with both teams having opportunities to score. In particular Gravesham had to defend well against a fast Medway attack. After 16 minutes David Ikumobasin went on a powerful run which culminated in George Osborne receiving the ball and calmly sliding it past the Medway goalkeeper. Gravesham created a few more opportunities to score but Medway equalised a minute before half-time following one of their forwards being left unmarked  eight yards from goal.
Medway edged the opening minutes of the second half before Gravesham started to stamp their authority on the match. This started after 48 minutes when the ball fell to debutante Nej Bagirtkan who drove the ball ferociously into the roof of the net from 20 yards. The tireless George Osborne then increased the lead to 3-1 after 50 minutes and then completed his hat-trick five minutes later. Cameron Houghton completed the scoring after 70 minutes to make the final score 5-1 to Gravesham who are top of the league table at this very early stage of the season.


​
Monday 25th September, 2017. KENT CUP.
Maplesden Noakes, 7.30pm kick off.
Gravesham 2 Bromley 1 (Scorers: Blake, Ikumobasin)
Gravesham enjoyed a second successive win in the Fletcher Trophy in an eve match against Bromley. In a fairly even first half Gravesham enjoyed the majority of possession but Bromley at least matched them in terms of opportunities on goal. However, Gravesham broke the deadlock two minutes before half-time when Ellis Blake headed in a cross from Joe Salmon.
In the second half Bromley continued to threaten and some string defending and good saves by goalkeeper Olly Fox de Klerk kept the opposition at bay. However, Bromley were awarded a penalty after 55 minutes which they successfully converted to level the scores. Gravesham pushed to gain a victory and a determined run by the powerful David Ikumobasin saw him score to secure maximum points for Gravesham.


Monday 16th October, 2017. KENT CUP.
Maplesden Noakes, 7.30pm kick off.
Gravesham 0 North Kent 1
In an even game Gravesham were just edged out 1-0 to North Kent. Gravesham enjoyed as much possession as their opponents and probably had more shots on goal, although they were unable to create any clear cut chances. Davis Ikumobasin did a superb job blocking out the offensive threats of North Kent. North Kent scored with their only chance of the  game in the 30th minute.

Monday 4th December, 2017. KENT CUP.
Maplesden Noakes, 7.30pm kick off.
Gravesham 2 Canterbury St. Augustines 3 (Scorers: Miles, Medhurst)
Gravesham started off brightly and played some good football causing Canterbury a number of difficulties. However, the chances that were created were not converted into goals until George Miles was able to score from close range from a corner. Canterbury went on to equalise but Vinnie Medhurst restored Gravesham's lead, once more from a corner. The first half ended with Gravesham enjoying a deserved 2-1 advantage. In the second half Gravesham started well and continued to miss opportunities to score, but then allowed Canterbury to come back into the match, scoring twice within the last ten minutes. Gravesham then put considerable pressure on the Canterbury goal and there were a couple of goal mouth scrambles in the last couple of minutes. However, Gravesham were unable to score the equaliser and lost the match 3-2.

Monday 29th January, 2017. KENT CUP.

Maplesden Noakes, 7.30pm kick off.
Gravesham 6 Maidstone 1 (Scorers: Blake(2), Houghton(2), Miles, Osborne)
Gravesham played some fantastic football in the first half to dominate the match and set them on the way to a comfortable victory. After just seven minutes some inspired inter-play led to George Miles putting in the perfect cross for Ellis Blake to comfortably convert and give Gravesham the advantage. Four minutes later Nej Bagirtkan played a simple pass to Cameron Houghton who hit a ferocious shot from 20 yards which beat the Maidstone goalkeeper and flew into the net off of the inside of the post. Gravesham's central defenders Louie Watkins and Jermaine Dee thwarted any Maidstine attacks and full backs Joe Salmon and George Wells used the ball well to initiate attacks. After 20 minutes Gravesham extended their lead to 3-0 after a masterful string of more than 20 passes resulted in Vinnie Medhurst's shot being saved by the Maidstone 'keeper before George Miles reacted quickly to score. 
Seven minutes into the second half Gravesham extended their lead when David Ikumobasin passed to Ellis Blake who  produced an exquisite cross which was confidently finished by George Osborne. It was not long before Dray Sherwood saw his shot saved before George Osborne finished the rebound to make the score 5-0. However, the game was not all one sided and Maidstone had opportunities to score, hitting a post and forcing some good saves from Gravesham goalkeeper Olly Fox de Klerkand, and with 12 minutes remaining Maidstone made the score 5-1. Within two minutes Gravesham restored their 5 goal advantage when Cameron Houghton received the ball in his own half and dribbled past several Maidstone defenders before scoring himself.
Gravesham therefore ended their Fletcher Trophy campaign with an impressive 6-1 win.

Saturday 7th October, 2017.  Round 1
​Croydon Postal Sports Ground, Trenham Drive, Warlingham, CR6 9RU, 10.30 kick off

Croydon 4 Gravesham 1 (Scorer: O.G.)
Gravesham started the game brightly and were unfortunate after two minutes when Caneron Houghton saw the home team's goalkeeper off of his line and his intelligent strike from 40 yards only just cleared the crossbar. Four minutes later Gravesham did take the lead when, following pressure from Ellis Blake, a Croydon defender attempted to pass the ball back to his own goalkeeper from 30 yards but instead hit the ball into his own net.  After 25 minutes defender Louie Watkins nearly scored but he was tackled as he shot and saw the ball go out for a Gravesham corner. The rest of the half remained fairly even with Gravesham enjoying the majority of possession but without creating any clear cut chances. 
Gravesham went into the second half  with a 1-0 advantage but Croydon drew level after 51 minutes. Gravesham then had to soak up more pressure and Godfrey Torto-Doku put in an outstanding performance in defence. Both teams had some chances to score but it was Croydon who took the lead with just eight minutes remaining. Gravesham had to push on to try to equalise but this left them a little exposed at the back and Croydon scored two more goals in the final minutes to make the final score 4-1.
