Dagenham United C 1
Wadham 3
U9 Challenge Cup Round 2

William H came off the bench to record the U9's first Cup goal and was rewarded with Man of the Match as he ran onto a through ball to ram his shot in the bottom corner of the net.

Previously the home side enjoyed the better exchanges until the first goal. Kristian T found a gap in a crowded penalty area to increase the lead.

Wadham were without regular keeper Matthew M it was left to James C to keep goal in the first half who was very commending and confident with Ross W taking over for the second half.

Dagenham pulled one back early in the second half with the visitors having to weather the storm for part of it until an unfortunate own goal eased the pressure for Wadham and recorded their first win of the season in their first competitive Cup match.

Team: James C, Ross W, Conor M, Tom H, Daniel P, Kristian T, Toby M, William H, Brandon Z.

Wadham 5
Bealonians 0
AFA Cup Round 1

Wadham made hard work of this Round 1 Cup match having taken the lead within the first two minutes through Jamie G.

It was pretty much one way traffic but for the visiting keeper who was quite outstanding and some poor finishing kept the score down to the one goal advantage.

Jack C hit the post when it looked easier to score.

The second half continued in the same vain but the Bealonians keeper again was equal to anything Wadham throw at him. Pressure was eased as the home team introduced Goksal R who began to run the midfield as Marcelo T-M made it two quickly followed by a third through Naill J-H. A double strike by Jack C completed the scoring.

Wadham kept a clean sheet for a second week with steady performances from keeper Joe C, James D, Cameron F-N, Srinivass B and Man of the Match Thomas H.

Team: Joe C, Thomas H, James D, Cameron F-N, Srinivass B, Naill J-H Jamie G, Johnny, Jack C, Marcelo T-M, Jack S, Goksal R, James W, Jack D.
