SEASON 23rd SEPTEMBER 2007 - MIDDLEFIELD WASPS VERSUS
DONSIDE BULLS. |
|
Our first home
match of the season v DONSIDE BULLS kicks off in near
perfect
conditions.
THE WASPS are forced into making 2 changes with
BRANDON HUNTER and LEWIS
ROSS replacing MATTHEW FRASER and LEWIS
STEPHENS.
THE WASPS kick off and immediately take the game to
DONSIDE BULLS.Most of
the early play is coming down THE WASPS left hand
side with REECE MATTHEWS
causing the THE DONSIDE defence problems.DOM BURNS is
playing up front today and he is
also causing THE DONSIDE defence problems.
It is no surprise when the WASPS take the lead with a
well worked goal. BEN
GARRETT picks the ball up in the middle of the park
before releasing to REECE
MATTHEWS down the left wing, REECE beats his man
before firing a tempting
cross into the box which DOM BURNS beats the DONSIDE
keeper to and knocks
into the empty net to give THE WASPS the lead.
DONSIDE to their credit are trying to play some nice
football but their last
pass is letting them down.THE WASPS continue to try
and increase their lead
before halftime but THE DONSIDE defence hold out to
keep the score at 1 - 0
to THE WASPS.
HALF TIME THE WASPS 1 DONSIDE BULLS 0
The second half kicks off with JAKE DUNCAN replacing
BRANDON HUNTER. THE
WASPS are pushing forward early in the second half
and a few long range
efforts from LEWIS ROSS are well dealt with by the
DONSIDE keeper.Both teams
are working hard and playing some nice football. THE
WASPS then bring BLAIR
CONACHER on for LEWIS ROSS. THE WASPS defence are
being stretched by their
opponents but luckily for THE WASPS they managed to
hold out. BEN GARRETT
and DOM BURNS are now beginning to come back into the
game as THE WASPS go
looking to increase their lead.The best move of the
second half sees the
DONSIDE KEEPER pull off a great save to prevent JAKE
DUNCAN from scoring his
first goal for THE WASPS. The DONSIDE keeper dives
low to his right to
produce an excellent save from a well struck shot.THE
WASPS continue to push
forward but cannot add to to their lead due to some
good defending from a
well organised DONSIDE team. THE WASPS hold on to
record a narrow 1 - 0
victory against a spirited DONSIDE BULLS.
FULL TIME THE WASPS 1
DONSIDE BULLS O
GOALSCORER DOM BURNS.
After last weeks performance, THE WASPS produce a
disappointing performance
today but on the plus side still manage to win.
A disjointed performance with poor work rate,
commitment and lots of slack
passing.
On the plus side a well taken goal by DOM BURNS was
enough to give THE WASPS
another victory to remain undefeated.
GOOD RESULT but must work a lot
harder.

THE WASPS V WESTDYKE at
Aultons 7th October 2007.
Todays game kicks off today in near perfect
conditions.
THE WASPS kick off and try to take the game to
WESTDYKE. THE WASPS and
WESTDYKE are both working hard in the early
exchanges,
but both seem to be cancelling one another out. The
game is being played at
a frantic pace with passing from both teams being
misplaced with very little
goal mouth action at either end.
THE WASPS are rewarded towards the end of the
half with a well taken goal
from MATTHEW FRASER, the ball breaks to MATTHEW in the
WESTDYKE
box and he drives home a powerful shot inside the
keepers near post to give
THE WASPS the lead.
END OF FIRST PERIOD; THE WASPS 1 WESTDYKE
O
The second period kicks off and THE WASPS are now
pushing forward to
increase their lead. BEN GARRETT is now beginning to
control the match with
some nice passing and strong challenges to win back the
ball for THE WASPS.
THE WASPS increase their lead with a great piece of
skill from DOM BURNS,
DOM
picks up a clearance from a WESTDYKE corner just inside
his own half before
racing the length of the pitch, rounding the WESTDYKE
keeper and rolling the
ball into the empty net to give THE WASPS a 2 - 0 lead.
A great individual
goal from DOM, his 5th goal in 4 games. All
credit to WESTDYKE as they
continue to try and force themselves back into the game
despite the
scoreline.
END OF SECOND PERIOD THE WASPS 2 WESTDYKE 0
The third period kicks off and the WASPS are now
being put under a bit of
pressure.WESTDYKE are pushing THE WASPS back but some
good defending and
a good save by HARRY SMITH prevents WESTDYKE getting
back into the match. As
the half continues THE WASPS begin to get on top and it
is no surprise when
they increase their lead. BEN GARRETT wins the ball in
midfield and drives at
the WESTDYKE defence before unleashing a 25 yard shot
into the WESTDYKE net
to give THE WASPS a 3 - 0 lead. THE WASPS continue to
push forward until the
final whistle but are unable to add to their
tally.
END OF THIRD PERIOD THE WASPS 3 WESTDYKE
0
GOALSCORERS : MATTHEW FRASER, DOM BURNS, BEN
GARRETT
A patchy performance from THE WASPS against a spirited
and well organised
WESTDYKE team.
THE WASPS were made to work hard by their
opponents today to record a 4th
straight win.
3 well taken goals from MATTHEW, DOM, BEN. The defence
continue to look
quite solid.
Work rate is beginning to improve week by week.
WELL PLAYED LADS.
Another excellent report from; Paul Paton.

GLENTANAR
strike the post to the relief of THE WASPS .
FINAL SCORE GLENTANAR 2 THE WASPS 2
GOALSCORERS BEN GARRETT LEWIS PATON
After last weeks performance a very disappointing performance
from THE
WASPS.
Must put the ball in the back of the net and kill teams off
when making as
much chances as we had.
Defensively we didn't look as solid as recent weeks. Must
learn to stay
focussed.
On the plus side A TERRIFIC performance from
BEN GARRETT full of energy and
endeavour.
Very good corner kicks and free kicks, well worked but must
react to the
ball when breaking in the box.
Must work harder to keep making progress.

SUNDAY 4th NOVEMBER
ABERDEEN V THE WASPS
at KAIMHILL
MIDDLEFIELD WASPS under 11's travel to Kaimhill today to
play ABERDEEN for the first time.
The game kicks off in perfect conditions.MATTHEW FRASER and
DOM BURNS return to
THE WASPS starting line up. THE WASPS are
being forced back in the early stages of the match
by ABERDEEN. ABERDEEN's movement and good
use of the ball is making THE WASPS work
very hard, but credit to THE WASPS for
keeping their shape and closing down ABERDEEN.
THE WASPS are beginning to find their
passing range with BEN GARRETT, LEWIS STEPHEN and
REECE MATTHEW beginning to impose themselves on the game.
BEN GARRETT is unlucky on
a few occassions as he begins to play
more in ABERDEEN'S half being well supported by
MATTHEW FRASER. ABERDEEN continue to push
the ball around at every opportunity but
are finding THE WASPS a tough nut to
crack. ABERDEEN take the lead at the end of the first
period
with a well worked set piece.A well taken
corner is met by an ABERDEEN forward who bullets a
header
into the top corner to give ABERDEEN the
lead.The half ends with both teams continuing to play
good
football.
END OF FIRST PERIOD ABERDEEN 1 THE WASPS 0
The second period begins and THE WASPS take the game to
ABERDEEN. THE WASPS defence
is looking strong with RYAN, DOM and
DECLAN keeping the ABERDEEN forwards at bay.
HARRY SMITH in THE WASPS goal is looking
the part and it seems to be giving THE WASPS
the belief that they can take something
from the game. The hardworking MATTHEW FRASER
is replaced by LEWIS ROSS and LEWIS is
immediately involved when he is put clean through
on goal by BEN GARRETT. BEN wins the ball in the middle of
the park and slides a great ball through
the ABERDEEN defence for the onrushing
LEWIS ROSS who knocks the ball into the net to make the
score 1 - 1.THE WASPS with their tails up
continue to push forward but are denied by some good
defending by ABERDEEN.
END OF SECOND PERIOD ABERDEEN 1 THE WASPS 1
The final period continues with both teams still trying to
play nice football, keeping the ball on the deck
whenever possible. The game is being
played in a terrific spirit with the action end to end.
HARRY SMITH
is forced to make a couple of decent saves to keep the
scoreline at 1- 1. THE WASPS continue to
push forward looking for the winning goal
but cannot seem to hit the target when required. With only
a few
minutes remaining
ABERDEEN win the game with a great individual goal. THE
ABERDEEN striker collects the ball 25 yards
out from THE WASPS goal and unleashes a
tremendous strike beyond the reach of HARRY SMITH
into the top corner of the net to give
ABERDEEN a 2 - 1 victory.
FINAL SCORE ABERDEEN 2 THE WASPS 1
A very entertaining game played in terrific spirit. Both
teams deserve
lots of credit for the way they went about their
business.
Credit to THE WASPS for another excellent performance.Every
single player
giving everything they had. THE WASPS had a very good shape
about them
today
and were very unlucky not to take anything
from the game.
Well played kids. Keep up the good
work!!!

goals.Nice to see the boys have the confidence to pass the
ball around.
A very good performance despite all the changes made by
myself. Only thing
missing at times was our finishing in front of goal. Must
learn to kill
teams off.
WELL DONE, KEEP UP THE HARDWORK.
A special mention to DOM BURNS for a terrific all round
performance.

MIDDLEFIELD WASPS UNDER
11'sV WESTDYKE AT AULTONS.
THE WASPS entertain WESTDYKE as the second half of the season kicks off in
perfect playing conditions.The first period starts with both teams
determined to get off to a good start. WESTDYKE are taking the game to
THE WASPS and it is no surprise when they take the lead with a good
attack and finish from their striker to give them a 1-0 lead after
10mins. THE WASPS are finding it very difficult to get into their
strideand it is no surprise when WESTDYKE extend their lead with a
another good goal to give them a 2-0 advantage. WESTDYKE are playing
some lovely footballand look capable of adding to their lead. WESTDYKE
continue to push forward but only some good goalkeeping by HARRY SMITH
keeps THE WASPS in the game. As the half nears to its conclusion a mix
up in THE WASPS defence allows WESTDYKE to fire the ball into the net to
complete the first half scoring and give WESTDYKE a deserved 3 - 0 lead.
END OF FIRST PERIOD THE WASPS 0 WESTDYKE 3
THE WASPS ring the changes with LEWIS PATON, BRADLEY STRACHEN and LEWIS
ROSS being introduced.BEN GARRETT has dropped back into defence and THE
WASPS are now slowly coming back into the game. THE WASPS pull a goal
back when a long kick out by HARRY SMITH is flicked on by DOM BURNS
through to LEWIS PATON who keeps a cool head to place the ball past the
advancing keeper and into the WESTDYKE net to give THE WASPS hope. THE
WASPS are now beginning to believe they can get back into the game and
are rewarded with a well worked goal. BEN GARRETT passes the ball down
the line to DOM BURNS who beats his man before firing a cross into the
WESTDYKE area, LEWIS PATON is there to flick the ball into the WESTDYKE
net to make the scoreline THE WASPS 2 WESTDYKE 3. THE WASPS go looking
for an equaliser but to no avail. In the final minutes of the halfonly
good goalkeeping by HARRY SMITH keeps THE WASPS in it as WESTDYKE push
forward to increase their lead. END OF SECOND PERIOD THE WASPS 2
WESTDYKE 3 The final period kicks off with THE WASPS determined to get
an equaliser. THE WASPS are pushing forward and are denied on several
occassions.THE WASPS are looking dangerous from corner kicks. LEWIS ROSS
is delivering some nice corners and from one of these corners DOM BURNS
knocks the ball over from under the crossbar. With 8 minutes remaining
THE WASPS pull themselves level with a wonderful finish from DOM BURNS.
MATTHEW FRASER knocks the ball into DOM BURNS path and he slams the ball
low and hard past THE WESTDYKE keeper to give THE WASPS a hard earned 3
- 3 draw.
FINAL SCORE THE WASPS 3 WESTDYKE 3
GOALSCORERS LEWIS PATON(2) DOM BURNS. After Friday nights highs a very
disappointing performance from THE WASPS especially in the first
period.In the first period THE WASPS were not at the races, disappointed
by the workrate and commitment shown by everyone except HARRY SMITH and
DOM BURNS.Credit to THE WASPS though for forcing themselves back into
the game in the second and third periods.3 very well taken goals by the
LEWIS PATON and DOM BURNS. Good to see the strikers linking together.
Some very good corner kicks taken by LEWIS ROSS. A very good second half
performance by BEN GARRETT who looked very assured at the back and
tighten things up to get THE WASPS back into the game.Also another
assured performance from HARRY SMITH in THE WASPS goal.Must stop giving
teams a goal of start and learn to keep our shape even when things are
going against us.
Well Balanced report yet again
by Paul Paton. Comment by Aberdeen Website Design; great to see
the team are still solid. |

few changes with LEWIS ROSS replacing goalkeeper HARRY SMITH and
BRADLEY STRACHAN replacing DECLAN MCGUNNIGLE. THE WASPS kick off and
take
the game to their opponents.Both teams are working hard and trying to

nice football in the early stages but both defences are keeping the
strikers at bay. Mid way through the first half Donside take the lead

DONSIDE
players behind before passing to LEWIS STEPHEN who thunders home from
the
edge of the DONSIDE area to make the scoreline 2 - 1 to THE WASPS.
Within
minutes DONSIDE are back on level terms when poor defending by THE WASPS
allows THE DONSIDE striker to run through unchallenged and knock the
ball
into THE WASPS net to make the score 2 each. THE WASPS continue to push
forward and are rewarded when a long ball is played over THE DONSIDE
defence and DOM BURNS reacts first to knock the ball past the DONSIDE
keeper and into the net to put THE WASPS 3 - 2 in front.THE WASPS add a
fourth when great play by DOM BURNS releases REECE MATTHEW through on
goal
, REECE makes no mistake with a great finish to increase THE WASPS lead.

THE WASPS replace REECE MATTHEW with LEWIS PATON at the start of the
third
period. THE WASPS continue to push forward and some good play by BEN
GARRETT nearly produces a fifth goal. DOM BURNS is having a very good
game
and is linking very well with LEWIS PATON and MATTHEW FRASER. LEWIS
PATON
is put through from a nice touch by DOM BURNS but is denied by the
DONSIDE
keeper who turns the ball out for a corner.
From the corner THE WASPS add to their tally when DOM BURNS is there to
knock the ball into the DONSIDE net to make the score 5 - 2 to THE
WASPS.
THE WASPS continue to push forward and score a sixth goal when a good
cross from LEWIS STEPHEN is knock into the net by LEWIS PATON for
another
well worked goal. DONSIDE to their credit are still working hard and are
rewarded with the goal of the game.Some nice passing leaves THE WASPS
defence stranded and the DONSIDE striker makes no mistake from the edge
of
the area to make the final score THE WASPS 6 DONSIDE 3.

LEWIS STEPHEN back amongst the goals.
THE WASPS worked hard today and played some nice football at times.Some
very good performances from DOM BURNS, MATTHEW FRASER and in the latter
stages of the game BEN GARRETT. Good to see DOM BURNS and LEWIS PATON
both
scoring goals on a regular basis. A mention also for LEWIS ROSS who did
well in goals and also to DECLAN MCGUNNIGLE for coming on and showing a
very good attitude.

the wind
swirling around and dry conditions overhead.
Banchory kick off and straight away go on the offensive. THE WASPS
to there
credit hold firm and begin to get themselves into the game with
some nice
football
despite the conditions. Both teams are trying to play football and the
game
is going from end to end with chances at both ends. Near the end of the
half
Banchory
take the lead when THE WASPS defence fail to clear their lines, The
Banchory
striker runs through on goal after a slip by DECLAN MCGUNNIGLE and
coolly
slots the ball into THE WASPS net to give Banchory a 1 - 0 lead.
END OF FIRST PERIOD THE WASPS 0 BANCHORY 1
The second period kicks off and THE WASPS take the game to their
opponents.BEN GARRETT is now controlling the game with his strength and
ability to run and take people on.THE WASPS are unlucky on several
occassion
not to score but good goalkeeping and bad finishing by THE WASPS
means the
score stays at 1-0 to Banchory. The game is now being played in the
Banchory
half with DOM BURNS, MATTHEW FRASER, LEWIS STEPHEN and the impressive
BEN
GARRETT dominating proceedings. It is no surprise when THE WASPS
equalise
and what a goal it is. BEN GARRETT wins possession of the ball inside
THE
WASPS half , he plays a neat one-two with DOM BURNS and is clean through
on
the Banchory goal with the Banchory defenders chasing. BEN drives
towards
the Banchory goal and thunders home from 25 yards into the top corner to
give the Banchory goalkeeper no chance to make the score 1 - 1. THE
WASPS
with their tails up continue to push forward and on several occassions
are
unlucky not to take the lead.
END OF SECOND PERIOD THE WASPS 1 BANCHORY 1
The final period kicks off and THE WASPS introduce LEWIS ROSS and LEWIS
PATON , both teams are pushing forward with the game going from end to
end.
BEN GARRETT is having a terrific game and he looks the most likely
matchwinner for THE WASPS.With about 12mins remaining Banchory take the
lead
with another bad mistake by DECLAN MCGUNNIGLE , he allows the Banchory
attacker a clear route to goal and the Banchory attacker makes no
mistake to
give Banchory a 2-1 lead. DECLAN is then replaced and BEN GARRETT moves
back
into defence.Banchory are awarded a corner and THE WASPS RYAN
STEPHENSON
fails to clear, he clears the ball straight to a Banchory player only 5
yards from goal and he knocks the ball into the net to give Banchory a
3-1
lead in the dying minutes. Credit to THE WASPS who keep working till the
end
with DOM BURNS striking the crossbar. The final whistle goes and THE
WASPS
taste defeat for the first time in weeks.
FINAL SCORE THE WASPS 1 BANCHORY
3
GOALSCORER BEN GARRETT.
A very entertaining match served up by the kids from both teams.
THE WASPS worked very hard and played nice football at times against a
very
good Banchory team.
Defence must learn to clear our lines when the last man is under
pressure.
Another first class display from BEN GARRETT.
Great to see him have the confidence and ability to control the match in
the
manner that he did capping it off with a tremendous individual goal.
Well played lads but we must start believing in ourselves, we must start
believing that we can beat the top teams and if we do
I am pretty sure we
will soon.
Another very encouraging performance. Well played THE WASPS.
Keep working
hard.

The Wasps match v
Stonehaven was cancelled this week so THE WASPS took the
opportunity to organise a match between themselves.
|
|
In a very entertaining match, The Wasps kids in both teams played
some nice
football. The final score was 5-2 with goals from BEN GARRETT (3) LEWIS
PATON (2) LEWIS STEPHEN (1) and a trailist.
It turned out to be a very good exercise, it gave 2 or 3 players who
have
not played recently a good 60 minutes workout.It was good to see the
kids
show as much commitment and effort as they did. It also gave us the
chance
to try 1 or 2 things out and also see the new players who have been
training
with us recently.
I would just like to thank the players for their efforts once again.
Well Played.

teammates forward.BEN GARRETT then runs the length of the pitch and is
denied again by THE COLONY goalkeeper.JASON DAVIE is then denied by the

A very good performance from THE WASPS today despite the result.A very
entertaining match served up today by both teams.
Lots of good football played and lots of chances created.Must tighten up
at
the back.
Lots of good performances today, LEWIS ROSS and BRANDON HUNTER did well
at
the back,
BEN GARRETT was full of running and unlucky not to score 3 or 4 goals
today.DOM BURNS worked hard and took his goals well.
Well played every one, but must learn to kill teams off when dominating
play
the same as we did today.

MIDDLEFIELD WASPS V PETERHEAD
AT
PETERHEAD
16TH
MARCH
THE WASPS travel to Peterhead for the third time this season.THE WASPS
are
forced into a few changes with LEWIS ROSS deputising in goals for the
ill
HARRY SMITH and MATTHEW FRASER replacing REECE MATTHEW.The game kicks
off in
terrible overhead conditions and with a strong wind blowing.
PETERHEAD kick off and take the game to THE WASPS. THE WASPS are
struggling
to get into the game. They are being closed down at every opportunity
by their hardworking opponents.THE WASPS are finding it very hard to
keep
hold of the ball and it is no surprise when PETERHEAD take the lead.A
long
ball is played forward by THE PETERHEAD defence and THE PETERHEAD
striker
nips in before THE WASPS defence to collect and finish to give PETERHEAD
a
1-0 lead.THE WASPS eventually put a move together at last , BEN GARRETT
picks the ball up and sends LEWIS PATON through on goal only to be
denied by
a good save from the PETERHEAD keeper.
END OF FIRST PERIOD PETERHEAD 1 THE WASPS 0.
THE WASPS bring on JASON DAVIE for LEWIS PATON at the start of the
second
period and change to 1 upfront with 4 in the middle of the park.
The change of formation has brought THE WASPS back into the game.BEN
GARRETT
and JASON DAVIE are now beginning to control the match, driving forward
at
every opportunity,DOM BURNS and LEWIS STEPHEN are also causing the
PETERHEAD
defence problems.THE WASPS are unlucky on a few occassions not to
equalise,
firstly through JASON DAVIE striking from close range only to be denied
by
the PETERHEAD keeper, and then a great save from the keeper again diving
low
to his left denies DOM BURNS.THE WASPS are then caught out on the break
when
PETERHEAD are first to a long ball upfield, THE PETERHEAD striker then
beats
THE WASPS last defender before knocking the ball past LEWIS ROSS to give
PETERHEAD a 2-0 advantage.THE WASPS continue to push forward but cannot
find
a way past the PETERHEAD goalkeeper.
END OF SECOND PERIOD PETERHEAD 2 THE WASPS 0
At the start of the third period THE WASPS bring on BRANDON HUNTER and
BRADLEY STRACHAN for DECLAN MCGUNNIGLE and MATTHEW FRASER. THE WASPS
continue to push forward trying to get themselves back into the
game.PETERHEAD are defending well and somehow manage to hold out THE
WASPS.
THE WASPS force corner after corner but still cannot find a way past THE
PETERHEAD keeper.BEN GARRETT and JASON DAVIE continue to drive THE WASPS
forward but still THE WASPS cannot find the final pass or strike when it
matters. In the last 5 minutes the tiring WASPS lose 2 more goals
against
the run of play to lose the game 4-0.
FINAL SCORE PETERHEAD 4 THE WASPS O
THE WASPS taste defeat for the first time today against a very strong,
physical PETERHEAD team.
In the first period THE WASPS put in their worst performance of the
season.THE WASPS allowed themselves to be bullied, pushed and knock out
of
their stride by PETERHEAD. After a few words at the interval, THE WASPS
then
go on and put in a very good performance in the second and third periods
despite the scoreline which i must say was very hard to take. THE WASPS
put
themselves about much more in the last 2 periods and played some nice
football at times despite the conditions.JASON DAVIE, BEN GARRETT,DOM
BURNS
and LEWIS STEPHEN all putting in a very good shift,THE WASPS made plenty
of
chances but today was one of those days, i think we could have played
all
day and not scored despite making plenty of chances.
WELL PLAYED lads, lots of commitment shown in last 2 periods, must learn
from todays game that sometimes you need more than football to win
matches.
Thank you Paul! for another fine report.
