Chichester ladies had a memorable day trip to Eastbourne on Sunday with both senior teams enjoying notable cup success. The first team played against Eastbourne Town in the 2nd round of the South East Counties League Cup and earned a hard fought victory in extra time thanks to a goal from Shrubb. The Ladies Reserves team also had to wait until extra time to beat Eastbourne Borough in the semi-final of the Sussex Womens Cup, Clarke (2) and Smith scoring the goals in a 3-1 victory. The Reserves now play Rottingdean Village in the final at Crawley Down on Thursday night KO 19:30. The U15 Girls team also played in a cup semi-final on Sunday but they came unstuck against a strong Seahaven Harriers team who prevailed 3-0 on the day. Full Reports |

06/03/10: Redhill 2 Chichester City 0 |
|
|
Chichester City’s four match winning sequence was ended at Redhill on Saturday as the hosts maintained their challenge at the top of the table with a 2-0 victory. City drafted in central defender Shawn Benjamin (pictured right) as an emergency goalkeeper and the stand-in made a passable if unorthodox deputy. City were also without striker James Temple which meant a rare start for Michael Long and a bit of a reshuffle amongst the regular outfield players. The bright sunshine disguised a chilly afternoon and there were plenty of long ball tactics from both sides on a sticky surface with the game effectively decided in fifteen first half minutes. Redhill got the ball rolling with a 19th minute goal from Daniel Morris who turned into space and drilled a low shot inside Benjamin’s near post. City almost immediately had a chance to level as home goalkeeper, Chris May, felled James Archer in the penalty area to concede a spot kick with Archer through on goal. May was booked but must have thought his misdemeanour was worthwhile when he blocked Adrian Brockway’s penalty kick and the ball was scrambled away to safety. Within minutes Redhill had a penalty at the other end as James Ford fouled Morris and the Redhill striker thumped his shot past Benjamin to demonstrate how it should be done. 2-0. Morris squandered a good chance for his hat-trick soon after the interval but there wasn’t much to redeem a scrappy second half mainly notable for a spate of bookings and two sendings off for City near the end as referee, James Harding, enforced the laws of the game. Callum Cutler was the first to go for a second bookable offence and Joe Briggs followed him shortly afterwards. Both players were guilty of querying some of the refereeing decisions.

03/03/10: Chichester City 3 Shoreham 1 |
|
|
A battling performance from Shoreham ended with them going down 3-1 to Chichester, who are determined to challenge big spending Whitehawk in the race for the league title. Shoreham started with a 5-4-1 formation, the plan being to defend well and try to score on the counter-attack. Simon Lockwood, lately of Horsham YMCA deputised in goal for Michael Hunter and was solid throughout. In a makeshift defence, joint-manager, Mark Burt started for the first time and rolled away the years with an outstanding performance before coming off in the second half. Full Report

27/02/10: Chichester City 4 Lingfield 0 |
|
|
Chichester City moved back to the top of the Sussex County League with a comfortable 4-0 victory over visiting Lingfield on Saturday. City now have a three point advantage over closest rivals, Whitehawk. The Brighton side have five games in hand but they face a considerable fixture backlog and a two leg FA Vase semi-final in the last few weeks of the season that may yet influence the outcome of the Title race. Assistant manager, Dave Kelly commented “we’re back on top, now we just have to keep going and see what happens.” To their credit the visitors made a lively start and there were several close squeaks for the City defence before the home side went ahead on 24 minutes. James Temple burst down the left leaving a stream of defenders in his wake before setting up Callum Cutler (pictured above) to drive the ball into the bottom right hand corner of the net. Ben Hitchman in the City goal then made a point blank save at the other end to deny Pani Oritis an equaliser and preserve the City advantage to the half time interval. Lingfield seemed suitably energised by their half time refreshments and pep talk and stretched the City defence before their challenge crumbled in a disasterous ten minute spell around the hour mark. Shawn Benjamin started City’s goal rush by stooping low to head home a Joe Briggs cross and then provided the through pass that enabled Ben Vassallo to set up the third for Cutler. With Lingfield now in disarray Temple blasted in a fourth from close range and it was all over. Cutler then saw a curling free kick beaten away by Adam Woodward in the Lingfield goal that would have completed his hat-trick and substitute Michael Long toe ended a decent chance just past the post. Hitchman also frustrated any hope of a Lingfield consolation with a flying save to turn a dipping shot from Ansell around the post. CCFC: Hitchman, Minton, Ford, Bryan, Benjamin, Archer, Briggs, Cutler, Temple, Vassallo & Brockway. Subs used; Maddison, Long & James. Sub not used; Searle. |
