'TOWN' YOUTH WIN 5-2!

Wycombe Town FC Youth 5 v Taplow United Youth 2

With Wycombe Town FC without a game this week our Youth team took the headlines. ‘Town’ attacked straight from the kick off and dominated play which eventually led to a great move with Dan Mason threading the ball to Marvin Taylor to score, this was shortly followed by another from Taylor and 2 from Khalil Hogan who’s pace was a threat all match. Taplow then got a well taken goal from a rare breakaway; the first half finished 4-1 and could have been much more. The second half was more even; Taplow became a bit more physical and tried to break up the ‘Town’ play, this allowed them to get some good possession and eventually to score making it 4-2. This spurred ‘Town’ to put in a massive effort and with a more open game both teams had chances but Taylor struck and finally got his hat trick and settled the match beyond doubt, giving ‘Town’ a well deserved 5-2 win.

'YOUTH TEAM CUP WIN!'

With Wycombe Town FC's Premier league match with King George V frozen off, it was 'Towns' youth team who took center stage!

Wycombe Town AFC’s met old adversaries Blackstone Kites in a Cup Match on Sunday. ‘Kites’ were always going to provide stiff opposition and a competitive game, especially in the frosty conditions. With ‘Town’ improving as the season has progressed, they were still chasing that elusive first win, the game started well with ‘Town’ in full flow, moving the  ball quickly through the opposition with neat passing and dynamic wing  play. After intense pressure from ‘Town’ forcing six or seven corners and many scoring chances, Greg O’Hara finally popped up to powerfully head the first goal to make it 1-0 at half time.  Blackstone Kites were right back in the game as the second half started, scoring almost straight from the kick off to even the score. That seemed to create a spark for ‘Town’ and attack after attack followed, eventually the pressure counted and Dan Mason weaved through their defence and slid the ball left footed past the goalkeeper. ‘Town’ continued to press and it paid off again with O’Hara getting his second to make the final score 3-1 and book ‘Towns’ place in the next round with a well deserved win. Both teams should be congratulated on trying to play good football in difficult conditions

Result : Naphill Youth 1 v Wycombe Town AFC Youth 1

On Sunday with the majority of Wycombe Town AFC Youth still only 16, they came up against high flying Naphill, an experienced youth side of virtually all 6 ft plus 18 year olds and creditably came away with1-1 draw.

In the first half the boys passed the ball well and took the lead with a typical piece of intricate play allowing Greg O'Hara to coolly slot the ball past the Naphill keeper. The pitch was heavy and began to cut up but ‘Town’ stuck to their task and tried to play slick passing football. Naphill sent wave after wave of long balls over the top, but ‘Town’ defended resolutely and turned every defence into an attack. Naphill had a slight piece of luck which handed them an equaliser but a change of tactics allowed ‘Town’ to put pressure on the opposition goal and only their keeper kept the score at 1-1. Late on a closely called offside disallowed goal would have given ‘Town’ victory but they had to settle for a well-deserved draw.
