Godmanchester Rovers

St Neots pre-match concern about losing three of their four defenders to injury (Aaron Smith), suspension (Charlie Stallard) and unavailability (Charlie Lewis) was allayed when recent signing George Hoddle marked his debut after just eight minutes with a smart finish from distance to give them the lead. Recent meetings of the two sides have seen the visitors win two of their last three appearances at the ground so there was a score to settle, and this was achieved with some ease after Godmanchester lost their keeper after just a quarter of an hour. Although the ten men put up a spirited performance, they were no match for the patched-up St Neots side which included striker Robbie Mason as an emergency centre half where he performed with distinction. The home side perhaps should have scored more goals but stand in keeper Ollie Butler produced a confident performance and some of St Neots finishing was very questionable.

St Neots began really confidently with Saleem Akanbi using his pace to go clear after four minutes, but former St Neots custodian Finlay Iron blocked with his legs. However, he was helpless four minutes later when an opportunistic shot from distance by George Hoddle on his debut flew into the net to give St Neots the lead.Two minutes later Andre Hassanally could have doubled the lead, but his cross-goal effort flew wide of the far post.The visitors first effort after 13 minutes saw a shot from defender Richard Chadwick take a deflection off a defender, but Jamie Greygoose recovered to save. Then on 14 minutes the Godmanchester defence went missing as Trey Charles picked up a pass to go clear on goal from his own half.Visiting keeper Finlay Iron rushed from his area but handled the ball and was sent off with Ollie Butler substituting and Michael King sacrificed. The reorganised visiting defence was slow to settle and after 22 minutes St Neots skipper Callum Anderson took full advantage picking up a loose pass to beat Butler from 25 yards. St Neots then enjoyed a spell of dominant possession up until half time but failed to push home that advantage with further goals. Hasanally had a goal bound effort blocked, Akanbi shot over the bar when a goal looked certain, and Butler made one impressive save to deny Charles.

JW Match Report Godmanchester Rovers (H) 20-08-2022 After the break the reorganised visiting side with Jason Kissi on for Ben Tait competed better and Matty Allan had a shot deflected wide. Manny Osei impressively left two players in his wake but fired harmlessly over the bar, Akanbi went clear but shot across the face of goal and Butler again saved well to deny Charles. However, Charles was injured and Harvey Beckett back from injury substituted with Robbie Mason returning to his normal strikers’ role.

Akanbi then cut in with pace only to see his shot rebound from the woodwork and the same player then shot over the bar after beating his marker.The match came disjointed with a series of minor injuries to visiting players and Hoddle then put Osei clear but again his shot was too high. An excellent save by Butler from an Hasanally free kick looked to have kept the second half goalless but in the final minute of normal time Toib Adeyemi added a third St Neots goal after a neat overhead assist from Mason.

St Neots Town: Greygoose, Nche, Tarpey, Anderson, Mason, Adeyemi, Osei, Hoddle, Charles, Hasanally, Akanbi.

JW Match Report Daventry Town (H) 23-08-2022 NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE MIDLAND DIVISION St Neots Town

Daventry Town

A hotly disputed penalty kick awarded nine minutes from time sent St Neots to their first league defeat of the season. The incident emanated from one of a clutch of second half corner kicks and when several players went down in the area St Neots believed that a free kick had been awarded to them for a foul on goalkeeper Jamie Greygoose. However, Referee Lauren Impey has spotted a push on a Daventry player and a penalty was awarded. Jack Bowen tucked away the spot kick and that proved to be the deciding goal. It was a harsh blow to a weakened St Neots side that had battled back from a goal down in the first half. Daventry had lost both of their previous league matches and this victory lifted them off the bottom of the table and above their hosts. St Neots had been forced into team changes once again with striker Trey Charles having picked up a weekend injury, so Robbie Mason moved up to lead the attack with Harvey Beckett starting his first match at the heart of the defence, and Charlie Stallard preferred to Declan Nche at full back.

Daventry looked determined from the first whistle playing an attacking style of play that forced their hosts on to the defensive. George Ball was played clear after five minutes, but he skied his effort over the crossbar and then Nat Gosnal-Tyler had an inswinging corner pushed away by Jamie Greygoose. The early pressure paid dividends for the visitors when after 21 minutes they took the lead when from a Gosnal-Tyler corner defender Jarvis Wilson rose above the defence to net with a towering header.St Neots responded positively and in the next attack Robbie Mason won the ball but headed across the face of goal from an Andre Hasanally free kick. However, in their next attack after 31 minutes they levelled when Saleem Akanbi claimed his second goal of the campaign with a well-placed header from another Hasanally free kick. It was then nip and tuck as both sides playing attacking football and creating chances but the finishing from both was inaccurate. St Neots almost claimed half time bragging rights when Joe Tarpey moved up to supplement the attack just before the break but his well hit shot from around thirty yards passed narrowly over the bar.

JW Match Report Daventry Town (H) 23-08-2022 The second half began as something of a disappointment. A series of substitutions and bookings for minor offences spoiled any semblance of continuity although Hasanally shot just wide after good approach play out of defence by Harvey Beckett whilst at the other end Greygoose had to dive full length to claim a low shot by Jack Bowen. He also saved well from Gosnel-Tyler but with play largely confined to midfield there were few direct openings for either side. The Daventry substitutions saw two attacking players added to their line up and as the match reached its latter stages, they had just the better of possession. Then after 81 minutes from that late significant corner Jack Bowen made no mistake from the penalty spot with home skipper Callum Anderson booked for his protests at the decision. In the few minutes that remained Saleem Akanbi had St Neots best opportunity to salvage a point but his finish from a Manny Osei corner passed the wrong side of a post. St Neots now go on to a difficult away weekend fixture at title favourites Halesowen Town.

Subs: Sackey-Mensah (for Stallard 62 mins), Nche (for Hoddle 78 mins), Badiani, Abbott and Bent.

Opponent Spotlight HINCKLEY LRFC LEICESTER ROAD CLUB HISTORY Leicester Road Football Club was formed immediately after Hinckley United Football Club went into liquidation in October 2013 to continue the development of the youth and junior players left without a club and was incorporated on the 4th November 2013 by the four surviving directors.

The former head Football Development and all his staff transitioned over to Leicester Road along with the U21, U18, U16, U15 and U14 squads. This enabled all the squads to continue their football development seamlessly without any impact from the liquidation.

The U18 Youth Team continued in the Midland Youth Floodlit League Premier Division. The U16, U15 and U14 squads all retained their membership of the Midland Junior Premier League. The U18 Youth Team completed a remarkable Midland Floodlit Youth League Premier Division North, Midland Floodlit Youth Cup and Leicestershire County Cup treble.

The Senior Squad was established from the U21 and U18 squads and applied for membership of the Midland Football League. Leicester Road Football Club started the 2014 -15 season in the Midland Football league Division 2 and finished second to Coventry United to gain promotion to Division One. Leicester Road Football Club was awarded the FA Chartered Standard on October 2015.

During the next four seasons Leicester Road finished in the top five of the Midland Football League Division One every season and in the first 3 of those seasons also won the Midland Football League Fair Play Award,Throughout the same period the club retained the same manager and largely the same squad with most players amassing over 150 games.

When the 2019/20 season was eventually expunged Leicester Road sat in the top spot using the unweighted points per game mechanism and when the 2020/21 was curtailed again Leicester Road Football Club were top using the unweighted points per game mechanism.

When it was announced that the NLS would continue with its restructuring plan,Leicester Road were invited to apply for upward movement and as a result placed at Step 5 in of the United Counties League Premier South for the 2021/2022 season The season was successful with Hinckley LRFC finishing runners up to Harborough Town having at one time going 27 games unbeaten
