Drimpton FC Thrash Ilminster FC, 8-1

Drimpton have moved into the semi finals of the Jack Venn Cup after an emphatic performance and result against Ilminster.
Match report:
The Greens wasted no time in getting their passing football going. Some of the passing was exquisite causing the visitors numerous problems early on. Adam Cody Boucher gave the hosts an early lead but were soon pegged back when the ball took a nasty bounce catching out the home defence and the Ilminster No 9 ran on to the ball poking home.
Drimpton then went up another gear and effectively finished the game with 2 further goals in the first half.
3 – 1 Drimpton half time.
The second half was a dominant performance with Drimpton playing some of their best football of the season. The one time passing and the movement off the ball was a joy to watch. Further goals were added by Adam Cody Boucher who got himself another hat trick, Pawel Ciereszko 2, OG, Josh Cousins and Frank Symonds completing the scoring.
Manager Andy Loudon added ” That was a very pleasing performance with us playing some lovely football. We were very ruthless in front of goal tonight and progress into the semi finals of the cup “
The club have a very important fixture coming up this Saturday (9th April) when they host Shepton Beauchamp, the Greens will be hoping to get the point needed that will crown them champions of Divison 2.

Kick off is at 14.30 and they would love to see as many people as possible cheering the Greens on.

Good Luck Drimpton FC!

Drimpton FC – Need One Point For Championship Title

The Perry Street & District League Division Two title is almost over and after drawing with Charmouth 1-1 on Saturday, 26th February, Drimpton FC now need just one point from their final two games to take the title.

Match Report:

In what was a very close cut contest this afternoon, Drimpton & Charmouth came away with 1 point each and the result leaves us needing just 1 point from our final 2 games to solidify us as Division 2 champions in the Perry Street League.
The game started with both teams enjoying spells of possession before Frank Symonds unleashed a shot from range which was comfortably saved before Charmouth tried a shot from distance which flew harmlessly over.
The first major chance fell to Drimpton after Adam Cody-Boutcher won the ball in the air and perfectly flicked it on for Adam Chant who shot just over when bearing down on goal.
The first half concluded with both teams scrapping for possession and the rest of the chances were shots from distance which left both ‘keepers relatively untroubled.
The second half began with a half chance for Drimpton after Tom Franklin cut out a pass which allowed Pawel Ciereszko to challenge for the ball in the air with the Charmouth ‘keeper but he just missed out on capitalising.
Charmouth then had a very good chance of their own after a good cross which saw a first time volley go over the bar.
Drimpton then got a bit of control of the game and the opening goal came from Frank Symonds who chased down a through ball which Charmouth’s ‘keeper came out for but then got caught in no man’s land which ultimately gave Symonds the time to pick out a perfectly lobbed finish.
Drimpton carried on with the same second half intensity from last week’s game against Charmouth but this was a game of few chances and this was largely in part to both teams defences playing very well throughout, however, there was nothing the Drimpton defenders could do as Charmouth equalised thanks to a stunning long range strike.
The equaliser took the sting out of the game and both teams finished an even match with a point apiece.
Drimpton now head into a 2 week break knowing that our destiny is in our own hands and only needing 1 point from the remaining 2 games to end the season as champions.
Manager, Andy Loudon, had the following to say: “On another day if we took our chances we’d have come away with all 3 points but I’m happy with 1 point and we know we only need 1 more to confirm ourselves as champions.”
Scorer: Frank Symonds

FootballAt their earlier game last month, they took 3 points after beating Charmouth 3-5

Drimpton FC Into The Final

This report issued on social media yesterday:

What a mammoth performance!
Drimpton FC have booked their place in the Final after a huge effort against a very good side from Lytchett.
The visitors started the brighter and played some neat passing football and seemed to like the ball over the top for their fast wide men to run on to. This caused The Greens some early problems. But a mixture of poor finishing and last ditch defending kept the ball out of the net. However Lytchett took the lead on the 30 minute mark when a through ball was crossed across the 6 yard box for an easy finish. Based on the early exchanges Lytchett deserved this.
Drimpton were not creating much but took note from the fact the Lychett defence were struggling dealing with high balls.
A free kick to Drimpton with 5 minutes left of the first half was awarded on the edge of the 18 yard box. The resulting free kick was curled home by Chris Whitburn to give the Greens a life line. Just before half time Lychett went through on goal with just the goalie to beat and the ball came back off the post.

FootballHalf time 1-1

Attacking down the slope in the second half proved yet again to be many visiting teams downfall. Good early pressure resulted in a corner to Drimpton. A lovely delivery by John Kingston was met by a towering Ryan Gay header which flew in the net. Drimpton’s confidence grew and they started winning the little battles, the defence handled the away teams attacks and gave the midfield and forward line something to build on. Another free kick was awarded wide on the left and this time the prolific Tim Hussey curled in a beauty to give the Greens a fantastic win and give them a cup final to look forward to in their first season of reformation.

Full time 3-1

Manager Andy Loudon added “Before the game today we spoke about not wanting our season to end today. In the second half especially the players certainly repaid us. That was a very good team we were up against. The second half yet again was so strong. Closing Lychett down and they didn’t like our players in their faces. Such a great performance which makes the whole club, players and officials so proud.
The whole team put in a man of match performance.”

Congratulations Drimpton FC

Drimpton Football Club (aka The Greens) were victorious today winning 3-2 against FC Barolo in the Quarter Finals of the Dorset Minor Cup.

Described by their manager, Andy Loudon as “a true game of 2 halves“, he summarised:
“A well below par first 45 minutes left the Greens with hard work to do against a strong Barolo team. A penalty and loose defending left Drimpton 2-0 down at half time.
FootballA slight tactical change at half time and the Greens were soon back in the game after a surging run from Pav ended with a smart finish under the goalie. Throughout the game it was noted that the home goalie liked to stay high in his area and it would finally be exploited when Tim Hussey ran through and finished well from a tight angle. The home side ran out of ideas and didn’t like the Drimpton players snapping into tackles. The decisive goal came on the 75th minute mark. A goal ward shot from Adam Chant took a slight deflection pass the keeper. Despite some late pressure Drimpton held on to book their semi final slot.
Their manager continued- First half was a poor performance. We weren’t quick enough to the ball and were very slow when in possession. Second half we done everything right. Closed them down and got in their faces. A very, very good win against a very strong team who didn’t seem to know each other names! A very proud manager indeed. One of the best wins as a manager. Thank you all 💚 ”
