Chobham Burymead 1-6 CPR All Stars
CPR played their second successive away game, with this week CPR pitting their wits against Chobham Burymead; who managed to hold CPR to their only dropped points earlier on in the season in a 4-4 draw.
But there was never any real doubt that CPR were going to walk away with the points from the offset, and they managed to hit Chobham for 6 in a very dominant display.
Chobham had just come off the back off a very good 1-1 draw against CPR's title rivals, Hartley Whitney, and in addition to holding CPR to a 4-4 draw earlier on in the year, meant they could put a huge dent in CPR's title aspirations.
The team lined up as follows:
GK: Kevany LB: Goggin CB: Nott CB:Hastings Dunnage ST
Subs: Ross, Marsh, Morris, Parslow, Barby
The only absentees were last week’s 5 goal hero McMillan, who was unavailable for family reasons, and Lloyd-Bisley, who was still out with a broken foot.
The game started off with a little bit of a stale mate, with neither team able to get a foothold with proceedings.
But as time went on, CPR began to hold a bigger influence on the game, and aided by the tireless work of lone striker Rice up front; were beginning to show signs of the quality they possess.
And soon it was 1-0 to the team in black and orange stripes. Honeywood, who was playing in an unfamiliar role at right midfield, crossed the ball perfectly straight intp the path of Adolphous who met the ball perfectly to head the ball beyond the keeper and into the net.
CPR were well worth their 1 goal lead, and made it 2 roughly 5 minutes later. A break from a corner saw Rice pick the ball up in a dangerous position, and he slotted the ball through to Stroud, who found himself one on one with the keeper. Despite a weak first effort, he picked up the ball and managed to squeeze the ball in from a tight angle at the second time of asking.
CPR were repelling all Chobham had, with the opposition being limited to a number of long range efforts that were comfortably saved by Kevany.
But the CPR defence, who conceded 5 against a weak Tongham outfit last week, were performing with assurance and constant ease, with Finlay and Hastings in particular keeping Chobham at bay.
And with the defence performing so well, this eased the pressure on the CPR attack who were now starting to enjoy their football.
They extended the deficit to 3 goals about 10 minutes before the half time break; with the goal coming from a corner. A weak Dunnage corner was not entirely cleared, and Rolt prodded the ball towards goal and on hand to turn it in was Hastings, who tapped the ball into the net to score.
There were no further action for the rest of the half, and CPR went into the break with a 3 goal lead. CPR were dominant in every aspect in the first half, and they aimed to keep up this level of performance and record a comfortable win.
But things did not go according to plan early on in the second half, with Chobham pulling a goal back. The Chobham player picked the ball up on the edge of the box and unleashed a wonder strike from the that arrowed into the top corner, bamboozling a hapless Kevany who could only watch as it nestled in the back of the net.
There was another nervy moment when Nott attempted to hack the ball clear after a scramble in the box, but his clearance was shanked backwards over his own crossbar and out for a corner, cueing relief from Nott and the rest of the CPR players.
But CPR weathered the mini storm and commenced to play the football that saw them take a 3 goal lead going into the break. Having said that, CPR were getting increasingly frustrated with the referee, who seemed to wave away some obvious fouls on the CPR players.
This included what appeared to be a blatant penalty after Rice was cynically taken down in the box, but the referee waved away CPR's protests, with the decision even bemusing the Chobham coaching staff.
But CPR kept applying the pressure and were searching hard for a 4th goal that would kill off the tie. And that 4th goal came from the boot of Rolt, who took advantage of a rare CPR free kick after Rice was taken down just outside the box. Rolt stepped up and he struck the resulting free kick sweetly, with the trajectory of the ball deceiving the keeper, and the ball squirmed underneath his grasp and into the corner.
The 4th goal had killed off the tie and this was evident to everyone watching the game. But instead of being gracious in defeat, Chobham began to react angrily and took their anger out on the CPR players.
Rice, Parslow and Rolt were all on the end of nasty looking challenges, but this did not faze the CPR players who redoubled their efforts to inflict even more misery on their opponents.
It was soon 5 and again it came from the head of Adolphous. Honeywood again picked up the ball on the right, and managed to seek out Adolphous, who had made another direct run into the box. Adolphous timed his run to perfection, and his header was perfectly guided into the bottom corner to bring up CPR's 5th goal of the game and his 2nd.
There was a 6th goal, and again it was Honeywood and Adolphous who combined to put gloss on CPR's over powering performance. Honeywood crossed for Adolphous for a third time, and the latter dived to head the ball into the corner and attain a well deserved hat trick.
That's the way it finished, and the Bagshot based team walked away extremely satisfied that they were able to get revenge on the team that had caused them to drop points in the return fixture earlier on in the year.
It was a very convincing CPR performance, who bounced back well from a poor performance last week to crush a dangerous Chobham side.
There were 2 man of the match awards this week, with Rice and Adolphous both picking up the accolade.
Adolphous put in a Gerrard-esc type performance in the middle of the park. He controlled the midfield by putting in a shift both in attack and defence; whilst also bagging himself a hat trick of headers in the process.
Rice also put in a massive shift up front, taking the fight to the Chobham attack. Although he did not score, his unselfish play and good hold up play was a highlight of his performance, and his effort up front epitomised the effort put in by each and every CPR player.
