Euro 2021

The oldest rivalry in international football … At 8pm on ITV this evening, England play Scotland in their 2nd match of the UEFA EURO Cup at Wembley Stadium.  The teams have not faced each other since a pulsating 2-2 draw at Hampden Park in 2017, a match which saw three goals in the final six minutes!

Gareth Southgate, his team and the English fans are all confident of victory having beat Croatia 1-0 last Sunday with a goal scored by Manchester City Forward, Raheem Sterling. At their 10th attempt, this was the first time England have ever won their opening match.
England are hoping that it will be a repeat of the classic encounter between England and Scotland at Euro 96. England won that day 2-0 with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Gascoigne.

The Scots however, their first appearance in a major tournament in 23 years last week, were reminded of the disappointment of watching Scotland at the World Cup in Argentina 43 years ago as Patrik Schick from the Czech Republic put two goals in the back of Scotland’s net – one of them extraordinary from the halfway line.  Steve Clarke and his team have a lot to do!

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 đź’š
