U10 Match Report
U10 Cup – Quarter Final 22nd Feb 2009
Melksham Park 0 (0) : F.C Chippenham 0 (1) (after penalties).
F.C Chippenham and Melksham Park met for the second time this year but this time to battle for a place in the semi-final of the cup. The weather was perfect for football but the ground still very soft.
The tension was high and predictably the match was very tight. Melksham had a good spell in the first five minutes but Chippenham settled down and started to apply some pressure. A good shot from Marcus Fenton went just wide after a clever layback from Harry Vickers. A free kick from outside the box followed after a foul on Kieran Fitzwater but the shot was blocked by the wall.
In the second half Melksham started well and had several corners in the first five minutes which Chippenham defended well. The rest of the half was a tight midfield battle with Chippenham creating the most chances. Will Summers was very strong on the left mid field and Sam Fieldhouse was involved in a very tough duel in defence. Substitutes Sam Costain and Alex Bowers added some fresh legs to a tiring midfield but at full time it was still nil-nil.
Ten minutes of extra time saw both teams have chances but inevitably the referee who had a great game blew the final whistle for the match to be settled on penalties.
Melksham took the first penalty which was neatly saved by Chippenham keeper Tadgh Feerick. After four penalties from Melksham and three penalties from Chippenham the score was still nil-nil. Matthew Kirtley stepped up for Chippenhams fourth attempt and powered it into the net to the delight of his team mates and the Chippenham crowd.
After more than an hour after kick off Chippenham had finally done it and are now eagerly waiting to see who they will meet in the Semi-final.

U10 Match Report
FC Chippenham 4 : AFC Corsham 3.
Fixture backlog and a cup match postponement lead to a last minute arrangement to hold this match. With Stanley park closed the two teams agreed to hold the match at a very cold and windy Leafy Lane ground in Corsham.
FC Chippenham started brightly and netted 3 goals by the half way point – Harry Vickers with the first, The second started with a fine save from keeper Tadgh Feerick at the Chippenham end , 2 passes later it was with Harry Vickers who passed it through to the box for Will Summers to finish off the move. Kieran Fitzwater found the net again before half time to wrap up a great half for Chippenham
In the second half Corsham started determined and put some pressure on the Chippenham goal. One of these attacks broke down when Alex Bowers made a vital tackle, broke down the left wing and slid the ball through the centre for Kieran Fitzwater to run onto and make a brilliant solo finish. Four nil up and Chippenham looked to be home and dry. Concentration lapsed however and from the restart Corsham ran through the Chippenham half unchallenged and made it 4 – 1. Minutes later another attack from Corsham put a great ball into the centre and suddenly it was 4-2. Corsham sensing they could get something out of the game pushed on and Chippenham defended very deeply. A shot at point blank brought another save from the Chippenham keeper. From the corner the ball looked to be going out on the far side. Corsham kept it in and broke through into the box to make it 4-3 with 2 minutes left.
In the end however the deficit was too much for Corsham to overcome and Chippenham dug deep to hang on for the win and the 3 points. Credit to both sides for a very entertaining match in what were very tough conditions.

U10 Match Report
Melksham Park 1 : FC Chippenham 0.
18-01-2009
Lying 3rd and 4th in the league table the first encounter of the season for these two teams promised to be a very tight contest and that was how it turned out. Both teams had chances in the first half , Chippenham with a free kick on the edge of the area but after 20 minutes neither team was able to make the breakthrough and they went in at the break nil nil.
After the break Chippenham had a good spell of pressure and looked like scoring particularly on corners, but ten minutes into the half a lapse of concentration at the back let Melksham through and they took their chance with a good strike.
Chippenham responded well and created opportunities but unfortunately could not get the reward and it was not to be their day.
The two sides are set to meet again in 2 weeks in the quarter final of the cup and promises to be a thrilling game.
