Six Of The Best
Ventnor FC were at their awesome best last night slipping "SIX" goals past a hapless Brightstone side at Watcombe Bottom !!
With confidence in abundance after Saturday's demolition of Cowes Sports (Res) we set about a weakened Brightstone side from the opening whistle, eventually earning a 6-1 victory.

Reserves Back On Course
Ventnor FC (Res) overcame a dogged St Helens BS (Res) side tonight by a hard fought one goal to nothing. Struggling to make any notable impression on the game neither team made any decent chances in the first twenty minutes !!
With both teams pushing forward looking to open the scoring it was St Helens who had the first goalward opportunity. There to make sure nobody was scoring tonight was "Timmy D", in my opinion probably the best keeper in the league right now.
Out for the second half and frustration looked to be setting in to both sides. We looked exposed in certain areas that St Helens were exploiting on a more regular basis. End to end play ensued until Sam May, who was having the game of his life, was taken-out by a vicious looking tackle. Only to be replaced by on-form, first team scorer on Saturday, Gray Parsons.
The difference was almost instantanious as the midfield maestro grabbed the ball some 30 yards out and stuck a superb shot that hit the back of the net without the St Helens keeper virtually moving. Without doubt a candidate for goal of the season if ever ive seen one. Get in there "my Son" !! 1-0 and match win now firmly in our sights !!
St Helens did fight it out for the final ten minutes with constant pressure on the Ventnor back-line. But "Aff" & "Co" were more than capable of dealing with the onslaught.
Players to take heart from this match include Saturday rezzie scorer Chris Mursell who played top-notch for the first half. Billy Creighton who has talent in abundance. Jamie Treadwell, a class act.......AFF & Dave Sampson mega-strong at the back along with my man of the match "Milkers" in the centre of the park.
Well done to all the reserve team for a much deserved, hard-fought victory. The season has now started, lets keep up the momentum now boys !!
Well done "AK".
Reserves Look To Hit Back
Ventnor FC (Res) will look to hit back "Hard" tonight when we host St Helens BS (Res) at Watcombe Bottom.

The match tonight "WILL" be covered by VentnorFC.com with full match report with photos to be uploaded after the game !!
Be sure to check back this evening to see how we get on. Good luck lads !!

Goal Crazy Weekend !!
The whole football league went goal crazy it seems this weekend !! After our 5-0 drubbing of Cowes Sports (Res) other teams notably "On Fire" were Niton who beat Wakes 7-3, Sandown who took down Yarmouth & Calbourne 10-0 and Shanklin VYCC who beat Osborne Coburg 12-0 !!
East Cowes Vics (Res) travelled to lowly Kyngs Towne and hit em for a dozen goals. Over in Combination 2 Wakes were rocked 8-0 by Niton as were Seaview shipping seven in their clash at home to Osborne Coburg !! While in Combination 1 Ventnor's arch-rivals Brading Town's "A" side smashed 14 past a pitiful looking St Helens !!
With Brightstone to play mid-week thoughts are beginning to drift to next weekend and the away game at Alton Town !! Bring em on......
Five Alive For Unbeaten Ventnor
Ventnor FC went goal crazy this afternoon slipping the odd goal in five past first division rivals Cowes Sports (Res). Following up last weeks 3-0 "ass-kickin" of Newchurch an identical team was rampant from the opening whistle battering Cowes from start to finish !!
Jake Balantyne smashed in the first to open the scoring. Gray Parsons was next on the scoresheet followed by a blinder from Mr Urry. Not to be outdone Harry Mulholland got one, with Charlie getting his second late on !!
Well done to everyone. This is what football is all about. We took them to pieces bit by bit. Congratulations to all todays goalscorers who all earned "A Fiver A Goal" for their efforts !! Check back later for a full match write-up with photos etc etc.....and also see who picks up the £10 prize for "Website" Man Of The Match" !!
