REPORT

The Reserves were not so lucky against Burgess Hill. The visitors took the lead only for Graham Townsend, returning from injury, to level things just before half time.

In a very close tussle which could have gone either way, Camberley had Alex Jeffers to thank as he struck six minutes from time to secure a 1-0 win. Ash had the better of the first half chances but neither side could break the deadlock in the first half. With moments to go before the break Ash had Chris Rose sent off for what was deemed by the referee to be a punch. Tom McGarry took the penalty which was saved by former Krooner Chris Andrews. The second half saw Camberley take advantage of the extra man. Dan Ker hit the post with a free kick before Alex Jeffers fired home the winner.

Camberley ten match unbeaten run came too an end at Raynes Park Vale this evening.

Raynes Park Vale struck twice through Greg Levene and Gary Knowelden in the space of eight minutes midway through the second half to take a 3-1 lead. A Mitch While strike on 84 minutes saw an exciting finish but Camberley could not breach the Vale defence again.

Hadley Paine levelled things on the night and then David Clarke struck again to give Camberley the lead.

Saturday, March 10th 2007

It looked as if Camberley would hold out for the win by Sills popped up on 88 minutes to volley home and clinch a point for the hosts.

It was a good day for the Reserves who took on Lewes who were just below them in the table and clinched a 1-0 win thanks to a strike from Rob Lance. The win keeps Camberley in the top five for the time being but the clubs below do have games in hand

A poor start to each half cost Camberley dear as they crashed to a 4-0 defeat at Merstham. The opening goal came after just 91 seconds when Kevin Lock slotted the ball past Clayton. Kwabana Agyei added a second after 6 minutes. Camberley came more into the match during the remainder of the first half but another slow start in the second half saw Mark Simmons score in the 47th minute and Joe Hill add a fourth two minutes later.

A double strike by Alex Jeffers made sure that Camberley left Bedfont with all three points. Camberley had by far the better of the first half but were unable to hit the target. John Finneston almost marked his debut with a goal on 63 minutes but for a fine save from former Camberley youth keeper Gary Phillips. Alex Jeffers, following up, made sure that Camberley had the lead by forcing the ball home from close range. On 88 minutes Camberley added the second. Tom McGarry's cross from the right was superbly taken down and controlled by Jeffers before he planted the ball past Phillips. Paul Reed reduced the deficit in the 90th minute, firing home a free kick and thus gave Camberley a nervous 7 minutes of stoppage time

An outstanding performance by goalkeeper Chris Foster gained Camberley a point against high flyers Tooting & Mitcham United. Camberley went into the break at 1-1 thanks to a well taken goal from Dean Frampton. Tooting & Mitcham pressed forward looking for the win but keeper Chris Foster played a 'blinder', making at least six excellent saves to keep the visitors at bay

Camberley have been looking to add to their first team squad with a number of players set to leave for foreign lands. Sam Rafique is on his way to Poland this week. Hopefully his suspension due from his sending off last week will not hamper his football too much. Adam Galvin will shortly be on his way to Australia and Chris Bazen is on his way to the United States on a 2 year football scholarship, we wish them all the best. As a result, Manager Paul Barry has been scouring the transfer market. Dan Tilson has signed from Reading Town but injury may keep him out of the squad for Bedfont this weekend. John Finneston looks set to sign from neighbours Cove in time to make the squad for Saturday. John won't be the first member of his family to play in a Camberley shirt. Father Steve, the ex-Chelsea player, appeared and scored in a pre-season friendly for the Krooners back in the early 90's. Paul has also got his eyes set on a couple of other players ... details to follow another day.

Camberley suffered an agonising defeat at the hands of North Greenford United in the El Records Premier Cup. Camberley took an early lead through Rob Lance after just 5 minutes but North Greenford fought back to level the scores through Jon Hill on 19 minutes. Two quick goals on 34 minutes and 36 minutes saw Camberley go 3-1 up. The first coming via a Scott Raper own goal and the other from Martyn Williams. As so often this season, a two goal  margin was not enough Ryan Newton reduced the deficit on 39 minutes. Camberley kept their shape in the second half and looked to be on their way into the fourth round when in the 90th minute Jon Hill struck to send the game into extra time. The first goal in extra time was always going to be crucial and it went to North Greenford. Jon Hill completing his hat-trick on 105 minutes. Camberley had to push forward in the second period of extra time but were caught on the break on 116 minutes by Liam Chambers who made the game safe for North Greenford. Final Score 5-3

Camberley progressed to the 3rd Round of the Aldershot Senior Cup with a 3-1 win over Wrecclesham. Wrecclesham gave Camberley an early scare when they took a 7th minute lead through Kevin Annett's strike. Camberley hit back and levelled the scores through a well place Sam Broadbent shot on 16 minutes and then took the lead with an Adam Galvin free kick on 25 minutes. Camberley had the chances to extend the lead but could not take them. With Wrecclesham battling away, they were always in with a chance, especially following a sending off for Camberley's Samir Rafique. The game was put beyond doubt on 88 minutes when Chris Bazen ran on to a quickly taken Dan Ker free kick to send a dipping shot over the keeper. Camberley now meet Ashford Town (Middx) at home in the next round.

Hadley Paine, leading scorer David Clarke, Alex Jeffers and Alex Ridgbridger, with his first for the club, scored the goals

Despite very wet conditions, this was an excellent match with both teams trying to keep the ball down and it was played in good spirit. Both sets of players deserve to be credited for their effort. Unfortunately the rain kept coming down and the referee decided to called the match off at half time with the pitched waterlogged to the point that it would be dangerous to continue.
