MATCH REPORTS
06 November 2010: CK ANDOVER 4 - 2 Fordingbridge
It was Fordingbridge who settled into the game first and took the lead with a good passing move. A corner provided CK with a chance to equalise and Owen Trapnell's header found the back of the net to draw level. Fordingbridge still attacked and earned a penalty to put them back in the lead until another corner allowed Brendon Bennett to force the ball over the line and put CK level again going into half-time. Substitutions gave CK some fresh legs and they began to take control of the game and created far more chances. Strong defending kept CK at bay until the last fifteen minutes and as Fordingbridge tired Brendon Bennett's hard work earned him a second goal to put CK ahead and then George Appleton was rewarded with CK's fourth to secure the win.
30 October 2010: Vernham Dean U16 1 - 1 CK ANDOVER (Friendly)
CK took the game to the Under 16s in the early stages and were unfortunate not to have taken the lead. Vernham Dean got into their stride and began to create more chances of their own. CK were guilty of ball-watching towards the end of the first half and allowed Vernham Dean to score. CK started the second half under pressure but some great saves from Tom Smith kept them in the game and then a long range free kick from Owen Trapnell put the sides level. In the last twenty minutes CK came alive and began to create most of the chances but failed to convert any of them.
23 October 2010: CK ANDOVER 1 - 6 Hatchwarren Saints
CK were caught napping and conceded two very early goals in what was always going to be a tough game against last season's League Champions. We settled down and began to claw our way back into the game when our efforts were rewarded as a free kick was forced over their line as an own goal. Further pressure earned CK a penalty and the chance to draw level, but it bounced off the inside of the post and we went into half-time still one down. CK were slow to restart and Saints took advantage to score four of the easiest goals within just ten minutes. The game was dead and buried but CK started playing football again and began to create chances but failed to convert any of them while Saints cruised through to the end of the game.
16 October 2010: Lyndhurst 2 - 3 CK ANDOVER
There was a sense of deja vu as CK started well only to relinquish their lead. With much of the early possession we created a number of chances and forced some corners. Tom Stacey was first to score, having taken a corner the ball eventually came back out to him and he forced it home. Soon after Dan Andrews ran on to Andre Coelho's fine through ball to lob the keeper and make it two-nil. CK's concentration dipped and we allowed Lyndhurst to pull one back from a scramble in the goalmouth following one of many free-kicks they were awarded. The second half couldn't have started worse as we allowed Lyndhurst to nod in a soft goal to draw level. It took a while for CK to get back on top of their game, but after some quick and simple passing Tom Stacey was able to tap in from close range to retake the lead and secure three away points for CK.
09 October 2010: Hillcrest Youth 1 - 13 CK ANDOVER
CK created plenty of early chances in this second round tie of the Hampshire Cup, but it was Hillcrest who scored first in what was probably their only opportunity in seventeen minutes. Going behind seemed to spur CK on, within two minutes Brendon Bennet had equalised and in the next three minutes goals from Kieran Odey, Will Haighton and another for Brendon made it 4-1. Tom Smith made it five before half time. The second half was similarly one-sided but credit to Hillcrest who didn't ever throw in the towel. Brendon secured his hat-trick and a second half hat-trick in just ten minutes for Kieran took his tally to four. An own goal, two for Luke Bourner and one for Owen Trapnell took the final score to 13-1 and saw CK through to the Third Round.
02 October 2010: CK ANDOVER 3 - 3 Lyndhurst
CK started well and created a good number of chances but also looked a little vulnerable under attack. Neither side took their chances in open play but a long range free kick from Owen Trapnell broke the deadlock after fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes later, Dan Andrews got on the end of a corner to volley home and make it two for CK. Lyndhurst still proved to be a danger and pulled one back after they were awarded a penalty. Just before half time another penalty saw Lyndhurst draw level. Fast and flowing football saw plenty of chances for each side throughout the second half until CK's Dan Andrews scored his second of the game to restore their lead, but it was short-lived as Lyndhurst's effort was ultimately rewarded with a late equaliser.
