SUNDAY 19th FEBRUARY

This week, all the attention for Wycombe Town FC was aimed at the Reserves, as the First Teams opponents Italia Unita FC, failed to turn up being unable to field a team.

Downley Albion 1 v 3 Wycombe Town Reserves
Away to Downley Albion, the game started well with Wycombe Town Reserves playing some neat passing football on a sticky pitch and with Downley tending to rely on hitting 'Town' on the counter attack. With the defence holding solid at the back and the midfield working hard creating chances, 'Town' were controling the game but needed to score. Forward Liam Holder broke through the Downley defence and was brought down for a penalty, James Hall stepped up and cooly slotted the ball into the net to make it 1-0. After a couple of scares, 'Town' continued to keep up the pressure and Mike Morrisey scored to make it 2-0, Downley responed and got one back to make it 2-1 but Town stepped up the pace of the game and Morrisey got another towards the end to make the final score 3-1 and to go top of the division.

TOWN UPSET THE ODDS!

Dee Road Rangers 2 – 3 Wycombe Town FC. Wycombe Town FC travelled to Reading to play high flying Dee Road Rangers, in their quarter final, Berks & Bucks Intermediate Cup match, with a bare eleven, due to late injury calls on key players. Town were on the offensive from the start and after 25 minutes Vinny Cuva fired in to make it 1-0, The powerful Andy Nicol and Michael Butcher combination up front caused Dee Road Rangers all sorts of problems and 5 minutes later Andy Nicol slotted the ball into the net to make it 2-0 at half time. After 60 minutes Rangers got one back but shortly after, Cuva cut in from the wing to see his shot parried away but Nicol slammed it into the net to make it 3-1. With Town tiring, Rangers got one back to make the final score 3-2 . Town defended the remainder of the game resolutely with Alan McKie & Alister Nicol solid at the back and captain Darren Crane driving the midfield, the whole team deserved the ‘Man of the Match’ award for this Cup upset!
Wycombe Town FC Reserves 4-1 Hithercroft FC. A great 4-1 win for Wycombe Town Reserves over Hithercroft on Sunday propelled them to the top spot in Division two; goals were scored by James Hall 2, Blake George and Steve Perry 1 each.

TWO GREAT WINS FOR 'TOWN' !

KING GEORGE V 0 v WYCOMBE TOWN FC 3
Wycombe Town deservedly progressed to the Semi Finals of the League Challenge Cup with a good 3-0 win away to King George V on the Rye. With a sticky pitch and difficult cross wind conditions, it was hard to control the ball on occasions and this made the first half an even contest with the teams ending the half at 0-0. The second half 'Town' began to master the conditions and quickly began to dominate the game by playing the ball around and linking up play well and were rewarded with three goals from Darren Crane, Alan McKie and a penalty from Micheal 'Butch' Butcher to book their place in the semi-finals. 

LACEY GREEN FC 2 v WYCOMBE TOWN RESERVES 4
Wycombe Town Reserves visited division 2 leaders Lacey Green FC and came away with a well deserved win to propel them to second place in the division. Lacey Green were quick off the mark and went 1-0 early on but 'Town' dug in well and started to out play their opponents with a good passing game to go in at half time 2-1 up. Second half 'Town added to their tally to go 4-1 up but Lacey Green got one back late on to make the final score 4-2. Blake George scored 2 and James Hall and Wayne 'Rooney' Norris got one each.

CUP UP'S AND DOWN'S!

This Sunday the 8th January, Wycombe Town FC travelled to Old Amersham to play Magpies 91 FC in the Berks & Bucks Intermediate Cup. The game started well for 'Town' and they put pressure on Magpies from the start, most of the game was played in the Magpies half with them attacking mainly on the break. 'Town' went two up in the first half with well taken goals by Delroy Howell and Andy 'Boxer' Nicol, the second half continued as the first with 'Town' dominating the play with neat passing football and scoring two  more well deserved goals through Paul Shone and Vinny Cuva but midway through the second half, keeper Jason DeGelas took a boot in the face and had to go off for stiches. Micheal Butcher put on the gloves and went in goal for the last twenty minutes to retain the clean sheet and for 'Town' progress to the last eight!

'Town' Reserves travelled to Seer Green FC in the Berks and Bucks Junior Cup and disapointingly lost 3-2. Going 3-0 down early on, 'Town' forced their way back into the game with two well taken goals  and were well on top in the later stages of the game but could could not find the goals to even up the tie!
