CASUALS 1 Bedfont 1

It was certainly a case of two dropped points at home to Bedfont on Saturday, having taken the lead when Greg Ball headed home his first goal for the club from Emerson Barrs-James cross on 24 minutes, we then regularly squandered chance after chance. The same pattern followed in the second half, Lee Stevenson in the Bedfont denying Ball, Gale and Barrs-James in close succession.

But as in past seasons Bedfont had a sting in the tail and claimed a last minute equaliser, after Lawrence Ennis , who was making his 200th appearance was dismissed along with a Bedfont player for apparently lashing out just minutes before.

Westfield 2 CASUALS 0

Some sloppy first half defending cost us dear at Wesfield on Tuesday, we found ourselves two down inside 25 minutes and were unable to recover.Pink saved well from Luke Dowling's free kick. We turned the heat up a little in the second half having a lot of possesion and forcing many corners but we never looked like scoring all night, Dave D'Rozario had the best chance latching onto a weak header but Pink saved well again. One note of good was the return from injury of Adam Fennel who came on for the final 30 minutes and showed some excellent toches and should have been awarded a penalty when he was tackled around the waist.

Butall credit to Westfield who worked hard and looked very sharp on the counter attack, and deserved the points.

Ash United 0 CASUALS 3

An excellent result following our recent poor run of form, and sweet revenage for our 0-4 malling earlier in the month in the Surrey senior cup tie. And the first time we have ever taken maximum points from Shaws Drive

We took the lead on 32 minutes when Grant Keywood latched onto Greg Ball's throw and hammered home a right foot shot low to Juke's right. We doubled our lead after 66 minutes when Niall Wynne was bought down and Scott Harris stpped up and slotted home the penalty. We were awarded another penalty with 16 minutes remaining when Greg Ball tempted Phillips into tackling him from behind, Greg picked himself up and smashed home to Juke's left.

On the plus side Luke Dowling returns from his suspension for Wednesday, but Vernon Nelson is still two weeks away from returning, Spencer is hopeful of signing a striker by the end of the week.

AFC Wimbledon 5 CASUALS 4 ( League Cup )

Well where do you start, we had raced into a 3-0 lead within 27 minutes with a brace from Niall Wynne and Luke Dowling heading home Anthony Gale's free kick. We were looking very comfortable working hard and playing some neat first time football, then from out of the blue the referee awarded the hosts a penalty to the amazement of everyone and without a single appeal from any Wimbledon player 1 -3.

Disaster struck early in the second half when following a mix up between Lawrence Ennis and Danny Wheeler the ball ended up in our net off 2 -3, Anthony Gale then fired home from close range to restore our 2 goal cushion and we looked on course to inflict Wimbledons first home defeat of the season. However following the forced substitutions of Michael Cayford and Luke Dowling and the emergence of Cooper from the bench we suddenly looked vulnerable and conceded another. Lawrence Ennis was forced out of the game with an eye injury before Everard leveled with a trademark header from a corner and had time to add the winner in the final minutes

Chipstead 1 CASUALS 2

We finally beat Chipsted away at the 10th time of asking, and all the action came in the final 16 minutes, Niall Wynne had a first half goal disallowed for offside.

But Chipstead took a 74th minute lead when Danny Wheeler spilled a shot from Chad Heuston, which allowed substitute Wayne Robinson to score. A minute later and we were level when substitute Craig Carley latched onto Danny Wheeler's long kick to chip home. With a draw looking immanent Adam Fennell headed home Scott Harris's ring wing cross on the stroke of full time to spark off mass celebrations on the pitch.

ReadingTown 1 CASUALS 1

An unbelievable climax to this game, the referee had blown the final whistle and shaken hands with players and indeed players had left the pitch, however the assistant referee stood with flag aloft and it transpired that he had awarded Reading a penalty and Danny Andrews, standing in for the injured Danny Wheeler was forced back on the pitch to face a penalty which he saved, a Reading player forced home the rebound but the spot kick had to be the final kick of the match and we had salvaged a point.

Reading took the lead on 59 minutes, but Greg Ball headed us level, seven minutes later from a Craig Carley cross.
