BTFC went to Towerhil Stars and produced a very below form performance.
The game had started brightly for Moretonville

Moretonville conceded an early goal.
Towerhill grew stronger and went ahead after the
Moretonville defence failed to deal with a through ball.
With less than a minute to go, Mortonville were
awarded a corner kick and from that a Towerhill player put into his own net 3-3.
Extra time and Moretonville had chances to win
the tie but failed to do so.
Penalties
With so much pressure, 5 lads lead by captain
Lee Callingaham volunteered to take the penalties Richard Evans Jamie Hartnett
Chris Brunning and Jamie Doyle.
After two penalties it was 2-2 then keeper Spike

With all Moretonville players having scored it
was left to substitute Jamie Doyle to clinch the tie for Moretonville, which he
did with a well struck penalty.

Moretonville BTFC 3 V Towerhill 0
Moretonville BTFC put the disappointment of last weekends defeat behind them
and played this week with much more commitment and strength.

could have been one up in the first minute when the Towerhill Keeper pulled down
Craig Caldwell in the box.
Mark Wescott stepped up and missed the spot kick.
Moretonville BTFC dominated all the play and soon they were one up with a
goal from in form striker Craig Caldwell.
It was not long later when he scored his second and at half time the score
was 2-0
The second half saw Moretonville BTFC dominate and concentrate on playing

Moretonville BTFC carried on there
winning ways this week with a great display of football against Bloxham Rangers
away.
Moretonvilles problem was finishing in
the first half and they came close on several occasions striking the goal post
and having balls cleared of the line. Moretonville continued to play some
attractive football and Bloxham were chasing shadows for big periods of the
game. In form Craig Caldwell Smith scored the first goal from an individual
piece of work.
It was again against the run of play
that a moments lack of concentration let Bloxham in and they scored with a
looping shot from their center forward.
Half time 1-1
The second half saw Moretonville turn
up the heat and they slowly took control of the game but still found it hard to
score. Then in a mad 10 minutes 5 goals came from Craig Caldwell Smith 1, Jamie

"CALDWELL HATRICK, AS MORETONVILLE CRUISE THROUGH TO LAST
EIGHT OF BERKS & BUCKS"
Moretonville BTFC cruised through to the last 8 of the Berks & Bucks
Under 16 cup.
A fantastic achievement for the in form side when they travelled to Binfield
youth FC Bracknell Berkshire.
Mark Odell
and Lee Callingham in white
On a very soft pitch Moretonville BTFC showed great class and out played a
very good Binfield side that had been used to winning and not conceding many
goals.
From the kick off Moretonville BTFC did not let the opposition settle and
played a high tempo game that Binfield could not get to grips with. Even in the
first few minutes in form striker Craig Caldwell-Smith came close and he proved
to be a handful all the game.
With non stop running Moretonville BTFC took control of the game and the
defence four of Bates, Cripps, Wescott, Hartnett, & Cooper never looked
worried.
The deadlock was broken after 20 minutes with a great individual goal from
Caldwell-Smith who bent the ball round a floundering keeper.
Just before half time he got his second with a great side foot volley which
started in the midfield with Callingham and ODell.
The midfield of Evans, Callingham, Odell, Beattie, never stopped working and
never let Binfield Play.
Half time 0-2
The second half saw Binfield attempt to mount a challenge but this was soon
stopped with countless good attacking play from Moretonville BTFC spearheaded by
Mark Odell who worked tirelessly.
With ten minutes to go Caldwell-Smith got his third from a great piece of
individual play to seal the game.
A change of three substitutes Newham, Brunning, & Doyle saw Moretonville
BTFC continue the pressure but unable to score.
Managers Steve Pedder and Colin Callingham were delighted with the result and
the spirit the lads showed in this fantastic all round performance.

TowerHill 0 v Moretonville BTFC 6
Moretonville BTFC returned with their first game after the
Christmas break looking as confident as they were in 2001.
The opposition Towerhill had supplied Moretonville BTFC with a
hard game prior to Christmas so it was no surprise when the Towerhill players
came out all guns blazing and tried to break up Moretonville BTFC rhythm. The
only way they knew with foul play. The referee was the assistant coach from the
Towerhill side and had a hard job containing his players.
Moretonville soon got the pace of the game and the opposition
tactics and began to carve them open with some great passing play. The deadlock
was broken with three very quick goals from Richard Evans and in form striker
Graig Caldwell-Smith.
Half time 3-0 to Moretonville BTFC
The second started as much as the first with some very serious
foul play being dealt out from the opposition, this ended with the right back
for Towerhill being sent off for violent conduct.
Moretonville BTFC made some changes and took total control of
the game as Towerhill chased shadows as Moretonville BTFC passed the ball around
with a further goal from Caldwell Smith and two well taken goals from
substitutes Chris Brunning and Jamie Doyle.
A bad tempered game on the part of Towerhill. The Moretonville
BTFC players showed great reserve and let the football do the talking.

"Superior Moretonville into the Semi Finals of the Berks
& Buck Cup"
Moretonville BTFC went to Milton Keynes this week to face an in form Milton
Keynes City youth side.
Milton Keynes presently second in the Milton Keynes and Borders League had
knocked out a very good opposition in the previous round Chalfont Boys.
This was always going to be a hard game and the weather and pitch conditions
did not help. On a wind swept and rainy Council pitch Moretonville BTFC decided
to go with the wind 1st half.
As the game started it was apparent that the game would be won and lost in
the midfield. Moretonville set their stall out and Mark Odell and Lee Callingham
battled fiercely with good support play from Alex Beattie and Mark Newman on the
flanks.
The break came after 20 minutes from a corner kick by Alex Beattie that
bounced around in the six yard box and was half cleared by a MK player and went
to Striker Richard Evans on the edge of 18 yard box and he hit a stinging shot
that gave the keeper no chance.
Moretonville continued to dominate and the 5 minutes from half time conceded
a dubious free kick for hand ball near the edge of their box following the kick
their was a goalmouth scramble and a MK player fired home from short range.
Half Time 1-1
The second half saw Moretonville kicking into the wind but this seemed to
help Moretonville as it held the ball up and Moretonville looked stronger the
back four dealt with the long ball well and after a short period of pressure
again following a Corner Mark Odell fired Moretonville in front. From that point
Moretonville placed Mk under considerable pressure and scored again from a great
piece of play from Craig Caldwell-Smith who managed to get it to Richard Evans
who confidently looped it over the MK keeper.
Final score 1-3
Moretonville travel away to Reading Town or Marlow Youth in the semi Final. A
fantastic achievement having played all our games away.
Mortonville are now in the Semi Final B&B Cup, Semi Final

Moretonville BTfC started there 1st game of the new combination cup in fine

The cumnor minors team were no match for the strength and skill of the in
form Moretonville side and this showed from the start in a game that never
saw the home side in any difficulty it was a chance for Moretonville BTFC to
show how good they were. The build up play was at times great to watch but
the final product let them down with many chances being squandered.
The first half saw goals from Craig Caldwell, Alex Beattie & Captain Lee
Callingham.
The Second half was much as the first and Cumnor hardly managed to get out
of their half due to total Moretonville dominance. If not for the Cumnor keeper
who made several fantastic saves the score could have easily been double
figures.
Second half goals from again Craig Caldwell, Alex Beattie & Lee
Callingham saw them defeat much weaker opposition.

"CHAMPIONS"
MORETONVILLE BTFC 4 TOWERHILL STARS 2
Moretonville BTFC were crowned as Under 16 champions of the Witney &
District League last weekend with a fantastic display of football.
Moretonville BTFC had to play second place Towerhill Stars the only team to
defeat Moretonville this season.
The game was played at Stowe School under very wet conditions but this
dampen Moretonville desire to win and they turned on a fantastic display of
football that at times was a pleasure to watch.
Moretonville scored very quickly from a well-taken goal from Captain lee
Callingham.
Moretonville dominated the game but against the run of play did not deal
with an edge of the area ball and Towerhill equalised.
Moretonville soon got back on track and were awarded a free Kick just out
side the Towerhill box, Alex Beattie took a brilliant kick and bent into the
bottom corner.
The Second half saw Moretonville totally dominate the game and was unlucky
not to score more goals early on. The third goal came from a set piece corner
that was delivered by Beattie that was met by the head of centre half David
Barron.
With the game won Moretonville passed the ball well but it was during this
period that a defensive mistake let in the Towerhill forward and he took the
goal well.
Moretonville BTFC were stung in to action and they quickly replied, and
after a brilliant piece of passing play Jamie Hartnett finished well.
It has been a great season for the lads who leave Moretonville this season
and this championship was well deserved having conceded only 8 goals all
season.
They managed to get to the final of the league cup only to loose in extra
time to Carterton town. The reached the Semi-final of the Berks & Bucks

Moretonville BTFC ended their great season with the final accolade.
Having performed fantastically on Thursday night in the Semi final against
the Oxford Mail League winners Highworth from near Swindon, winning 3-0 with 2
goals from top striker Craig Caldwell and a penalty from Alex Beattie saw
Moretonville BTFC go into Sundays Oxfordshire FA Under 16 Combination Cup final
against Donnington Boys from Oxford full of confidence.
The weather was terrible and was always going to turn the final into a
monopoly, The game in the first half was all Moretonville BTFC, who piled on the
pressure and Donnington neither had the ability or strength to stop or slow down
the relentless pressure. It was during one of the spells that from a set piece a
Donnington defender handled the ball inside the penalty area. From the penalty
spot Alex Beattie calmly put Moretonville ahead. The Donnington keeper then made
a series of wonderful saves to keep Donnington in the game.
Half time 1-0
The second half saw a rejuvenated Donnington, start the second half much
brighter and attacked the Moretonville BTFC goal with passion. It was a lapse in
concentration that allowed a through ball to the Donnington striker who hit
fierce shot past keeper Spike Witney.
Moretonville BTFC got their rhythm back and had several chances to go ahead
but failed to finish. Donnington had also come close to winning but for some
sound defending.
Final Score 1-1
Extra time saw Moretonville BTFC make some changes and they looked more like
winning the game, but it was in the dying seconds that a well placed ball from
Beattie into the path of Caldwell saw him push agonisingly past the Donnington
post.
Penalties
Alex Beattie, Lee Callingham, Richard Cripps, Jamie Hartnett and Mark Wescott
bravely stepped forward to take the penalties.
Beattie scored with his first with ease and the Donnington player also
scored, Captain lee Callingham stepped up to tuck his away and the Donnington
player hit a fierce penalty but was no match for keeper Spike Witney and he
saved. The next penalty was Jamie Hartnet who hit a stinging penalty that hit
the cross bar and the Donnington Player scored.
2-2
Then up stepped Richard Cripps who took a great penalty, and this was then
followed by the Donnington Keeper electing to take a penalty and again he was no
match for Spike Witney who pulled of a Great save.
It only left Mark Wescott to step up and win the game for Moretonville BTFC
which he did a well taken penalty.

Buckingham Town commenced their Allied

With eleven under 16s in the squad,
supported by three under 18s, this game was always going to be hard. But the
team performed fantastically and took the lead with a well worked goal that
started with Josh Maison, across field to Graig Caldwell Smith who drilled it
across the penalty area and David Barrie finished. Half time 0-1
The second half saw Buckingham continue
to defend well but were eventually broken down by a set piece.
Almost immediately North Leigh scored
again.
But Buckingham continued to play good
football and pushed Northleigh back and after a sustained amount of pressure got
back on equal terms with another goal from Barrie.
From that point it was one way traffic
and captain Jamie Ocallaghan struck a stinging 30yd shot that left the keeper no
chance.
The game was won by David Barrie who
knocked home a goal mouth scramble.
For such a young side this was a

Buckingham Town V Oxford City
This was always going to be a tough
match against top of the table Oxford City, with a long injury list and players
unavailable, Buckingham were forced to play 9 of the under 16 squad, two who
were coming back from injury Alex Beattie and Lee Callingham.
Oxford started strong but the young
back four looked a match of what Oxford had to offer and coped brilliantly.
Buckingham kept Oxford scoreless until
a move on the left was drilled in and Spike Witney keeper was unable to hold it
for Oxfords first goal 37th minute.
From that point Buckingham still played
some good football and at half time the score remained 0-1. Alex Beattie was
unable to return in the second half due to injury.
Second half was much the same with
Buckingham defending well but unable to score although having chances.
Oxford then scored twice after a period
of sustained pressure when Buckingham failed to retain the ball.
Buckingham were reduced to ten men with
twenty minutes to go with Lee Callingham twisting his ankle.
This seemed to rally Buckingham with
ten men and they battled hard and were rewarded when Mark Odell scored the goal
of the night with a stinging 30 yard shot.

"First win for under

Buckingham Town 3 Flackwell Heath

Buckingham Town under 18s recorded their first
win at home on Wednesday night. The opposition Flackwell Heath had come of a
good result against Aylesbury United last week and were expecting and easy game
against a Buckingham who had yet to record their first win.
Buckingham have played some good football
recently and with the signing of several new players Phil Martin left side
midfield and Chris Broad still injured Buckingham are building a good side
around the younger players from Moretonville BTFC under 16s.
From the start Buckingham took control of the
game and after 20minutes went ahead from a Phil Martin shot that hit the post
and striker Niall Drysburgh tapped home.
Buckingham continued the pressure and totally
against the run of play conceded a soft goal from a goalmouth scramble.
Flackwell Heath took heart from this and for the period to half time placed
Buckingham under pressure.
Half time 1-1
The second half saw Buckingham slowly get
control of the game again and Phil Martin was unlucky from a stinging volley
that struck the bar. Shortly after from a goalmouth scramble Jamie OCallaghan
fired home from short range.
Flackwell Heath rallied for a while and the game
was killed of with a great finish from Niall Drysburgh who went one on one with
the keeper and finished well.
