Jan Anderson Trophy Arlesey Town 3 Stotfold 0
A faily evenly matched first half ended with the home team finishing the stronger after Ashley Townsend turned in a cross from the left on 17 mins. but the fate of this years trophy was decided in a 5 minute spell at the start of the second half. Lee Allinson headed a well driven corner off the underside of the bar and although Louis Lee volleyed the rebound back at goal it was deflected over. the resulting corner was headed in by Tawhid Juneja but then dissallowed, for a push, by the referee, a swift break on the right and a low cross was turned past Clive Weatherall by Colin Shambrook sliding towards goal on 49 mins. Less than two mins later and the home team were 3 goals up, after Ryan Nicholl's back pass was hurriedly cleared by Weatherall only as far as Paul Donnelly's back sending the ball up into the air and into the back of the net. Paul Garrett was denied another good opportunity by the blues keeper after having a excellent chance saved in the first few minutes and Joel Mason had a good header tipped over a few mins from the end.

After last seasons dismal 7-0 defeat in the rain at Occupation road, this result was very welcome.
S&L Corby 1 Stotfold 3.
The first goal came on 6 mins, after Lee Allinson had already missed 2 good opportunities to put Stotfold ahead and Joel Mason had his shot parried off the line by the Corby keeper, Ryan Nicholl started a great move from the halfway line picking out Allinson who rose on the edge of the box to head forward for Louis Lee to run onto and fire in from the right. The celebrations were short lived when 6 mins later Mark Forbes' superb freekick over the wall from the edge of the D levelled the scoreline. Callum Donnelly pounced on a ball forward beating keeper Richard Lavin and defender Paul Djeviracovic to the ball knocking it past them and passing into an empty net on 22 mins. Two good saves kept the scoreline the same up to the break, the first from Brad Gillham parrying Matty O'Neil's shot as far as Domnic Johnson who shot wide from close range on 24 mins, the second after Joel Mason's run down the left and ball in picked out Callum, Lavin got down and stole the ball off his feet when it looked as if he'd already gone past him. The second half should have started with a goal but Mason somehow managed to send Allinsons chipped ball in from the right high over the bar. Garrett had his shot from the right parried wide before Juneja finally ran into the box and headed in a corner from the right to make it 3-1 on 49 mins. Good chances still continued to follow for both teams with Johnson heading over, Louis Lee having a shot cleared off the line and Mason having his shot, from Garretts parried strike, saved. All in all a good opening game for the season ahead.

Raunds 3 Stotfold 5
The first 45 mins of tonights game only saw a handful of chances, a couple for Lee Allinson heading wide and shooting at the keeper and probably the best for Raunds' Adam Taylor who somehow managed to shoot wide from close range on 36 mins. But at the start of the second half the home team were at the wrong end of a Stotfold rampage finding themselves 3 goals down within a 6 minute spell. Paul Garrett slid in to meet a cross from the right but the good block from the keeper came out to Callum Donnelly who rifled the ball in from the edge of the box on 53 mins. Paul Garrett took advantage of keeper Mike Hearn advancing from the goalmouth to meet him by lofting the ball over him with the outside of his boot from the left hand side 4 mins later and Callum provided the perfect ball across goal from the right for Lee Allinson to dive onto and head in on 59 mins. Raunds pulled one back on 65 mins after Brad had appeared to make a good save on the line from Danny Frid, heading James Willmotts free kick, but after the referee had waved the game on the linesman flagged for his attention and after a brief discussion the goal was given. An absolute belter of a volley through the box from Ian Morrison restored the 3 goal advantage after Tawhid Juneja's header was deflected out to him on 77 mins but goals from Callum Ridgeway 87 and Frid's second on 89 put the home team within reach of a point with about 5 mins of stoppage time to go. Fortunately Paul Garrett buried any chances of a come back blasting in from the left squeezing the ball between the keeper and the upright on 91 mins.

FA CUP EX PRELIMINARY ROUND LEVERSTOCK GREEN 0 STOTFOLD 3
Another first half of few opportunities with Stotfold having a few shots wide, Lee Allinson sliding into the box to miss Paul Garretts cross on 13 mins and Leverstock's James Armstrong shooting a cross from the right straight at Brad Gillham on the half hour. Juneja was replaced, late in the first half due to injury, by Tommy Hull who filled Ian Morrisons place as he dropped back. A good reaction tip over the bar from Graham Milner kept out Louis Lee's touch at far post 5 mins into the second half but the best stop of the match was undoubtedly Brad Gillhams tip over from Dale Sears fierce dipping strike from distance on 60 mins. A header over from Louis and a Garrett strike at the keeper were closely followed by the home teams best chance when a low ball in was met by James Armstrong who's touch was blocked as far as Frank Jowle who shot wide on 65 mins. Leverstock were made to pay for this miss as 2 mins later a freekick from the left from Allinson was met by Joel Mason, to get his first of the season, side footing the ball in at the far post. A great opportunity after a break down the right for the home teams sub Paul Bradley to level the scoreline was put wide 6 mins from time but Mason made it 2-0 from a corner firing through the keeper from inside the D on 88 mins. Despite the late goal there was still time for James Armstong to force a good tip wide from Gillham and, after a foul on Louis Lee on the left hand side of the box, Lee Allinsons blasted freekick through the box from the left to be met by Wes Byrne heading in at the far post. This slightly flattering win sets up a great home tie against Potton on Saturday 1st of September.

NEWPORT PAGNELL 2 STOTFOLD 0
A great move involving Louis Lee and Callum Donnelly working the ball swiftly from the left to the right should have finished in a goal but the flying volley from Joel Mason was blocked just in front of the keeper on 12 mins. A good parry from Brad kept Drew Mitten's low shot out a minute later and Masons header into the ground from Callum's cross , on 18 mins, was comfortably collected by James Howarth in the Newport goal. Mason did hit the target on 24 mins but after good control getting the ball down and creating some space his shot lacked the power to beat Howarth. The first goal came from a free kick conceded wide on the left. Rowland Gavin delivered a ball to the far post where captain John Thorpe headed in from a tight angle on 28 mins. A defensive slip gave the ball to Mitten in front of goal but he could only stub his shot at Gillham on 34 mins. The second half seemed to have more possession for Stotfold and less opportunities. Paul Garrett and Louis Lee both headed balls over and Callums blasted shot through the box was blocked on 78mins. Pagnells 2nd came 8 mins from the end after a ball forward for Shrieves was parried in front of goal but knocked in at the second attempt. 2 mins from time and Allinson's free kick produced a good low parry wide from Howarth and his resulting low corner flew through the box untouched.

STOTFOLD 2 DEEPING 1
The last time Stotfold met Deeping Rangers the resulting 10-0 drubbing saw Allinson & Donnelly reinstated as the managment team to steer Stotfold away from Division One whilst todays opponents went on to win the league. Paul Garrett missed out on two early opportunities, a free kick parried by the keeper and a low strike skimming the outside of the upright, before giving Stotfold the lead on 20 mins after he placed Joel Masons cross from the right hand side past Danny Bircham in the Deeping goal. Joel had a good chance to double the lead from Ryan Nicholl's cross 8 mins later, but didn't react quick enough as his header was spilled by Bircham. A minute later amid shouts of offside David Cobb ran clean through into the box from the left and was brought down by Brad Gillham. Lee Ellison stepped up and shot low to Gillhams right for the equaliser on 29 mins. A precise ball forward on 38 mins was brought down and away from the last defender in one touch from Lee Allinson and his low strike from just inside the box to the keepers left restored the deserved lead. A good strike from the right at the near post by Andy Ellis, 50 mins, and powerful header from a corner by Lee Howarth, 70 mins, were both well stopped and held by Gillham but the best chance of the second half came a minute from time as the visitors were pushing forward. 1 of the 4 players who played in the 10-0 defeat last December, Tommy Hull, was put clean through on the right and after lifting the ball over the keeper watched painfully as it bounced just wide of the far post.

STOTFOLD 7 POTTON 2
When both teams went in 1 all at half time this kind of scoreline didn't seem possible, but after the visitors went 3-1 down players heads dropped and individual errors made this goalscoring business a doddle! Potton took an early lead when Shiblu Miah ran into the box and volleyed in a loose ball on 7 mins, the advantage was short lived when some neat passing and a nice chip forward allowed Joel Mason to flick the ball in from close range on 15 mins. Good chances to take the lead were missed by Allinson and Mason, with Pottons' Miah forcing a good stop from Gillham just before the break. The first goal of the second half came after a foul on Callum Donnelly on the edge of the D allowed Paul Garrett to blast the free kick into the top corner on 49 mins. A short corner and a low ball into the box gave Ian Morrison the chance to help the ball over the line on 57 mins and Joel Mason got his by second on 69 mins punishing an indecisive Neil Walton in the Potton goal as he tried to shield the ball into his penalty area. Garrett also got his second knocking the ball past Walton on the edge of the box to shoot into an empty net from the left hand side 3 mins later. Bobby Dance came off the bench to flick Garretts ball in with his first touch on 76 mins with the visitors getting their second on 85 mins through Tom Beech side footing into the roof of the net from close range. Not being one to miss out on the goals Lee Allinson popped up to head in Ryan Nicholl's cross on 90 mins. this win sets up another home tie against Stansted in 2 weeks time after they beat St. Margaretsbury 4 - 1 on Friday.

STOTFOLD 0 HOLBEACH 0
The first half started with the visitors having the first good chance with Ian Dunn firing a ball across the face of goal from the left just missing the outstretched boot of Liam Nimmo running into the box, then shooting wide himself from distance on 10 mins. Bobby Dance, getting his first start since breaking his leg at the end of last season, worked himself some space in the box and forced a good low save from Holbeach's Nick Conroy on 23 mins. Unfortunately the main talking point of the game was Paul Donnellys sending off 5 mins from the end of the first half. After tangling with Andrew Stanhope and stamping on him he gave ref Shaun Barry no choice but to show him a straight red card. In the second half Stotfold performed as if they didn't have a shortage in players, having the better of the possesion and passing and moving the ball well. The best opportunity to take all 3 points came for Bobby Dance whose shot was parried from as far a Lee Allinson whose header was cleared off the line by Dean Elston.

STOTFOLD 4 AFC KEMPSTON 1
Tonights visitors brought a strengthened side to this local derby with many new faces surprising their followers, making this one of the most exciting games of the season so far. For what looked to be nothing more than the coming together of Tommy Hull and Tony Fontenelle, Referee Richard Sidlin awarded Rovers a penalty. A superb save from the legs of Brad Gillham and then a comfortable collection of the rebounded header denied Leon Gutzmore a chance to open the scoring on 15 mins. This was done by Lee Allinson, who got his 4th of this season 4 mins later after he met Ryan Nicholl's cross from the left with a strong challenge on keeper Kevin Higby and a neat side foot into the net. Despite the neat swift passing Stotfold were producing, the second goal came from free kick just in front of the halfway line on the left, Mark Bryant's deep ball into the box on 30 mins deceiving Higby as he left the ball to dip into the net at the far corner. Good chances for Allinson, Dance and Louis Lee all went begging before a second penalty was awarded again for Hulls challenge on Fontenelle. The discussion with the referee that followed saw Ian Morrison receive 2 yellow cards in swift succession, leaving the remaining Rokermen to play the remainder of the match, as on Saturday, 1 man short. Fontenelle stepped up and tucked this penalty away on 44 mins. Good work down the right from Allinson and Dance allowed Paul Garrett the opportunity to get a right footed shot past the keeper to make it 3-1 on 67 mins with Brad Gillham producing an outstanding save from Mark Boyles shot from the right 6 mins later. After forcing a good low parry from the keeper, Allinson then flicked the resulting corner onto the top of the bar on 75 mins but Bobby Dance showed him how its done glancing a corner from the same side into the back of the net on 80 mins.

FA CUP 1ST ROUND QUALIFYING STOTFOLD 4 STANSTED 2
Mason treble secures a place in the next round and away tie against Chesham United.
There's nothing like an early goal to get a cup tie off to a flying start and thats exactly what we got from Stansteads Sam McCarthy on 4 mins when he found himself with some space in the middle of the box and shot low to Brad Gillhams right. Injury forced McCarthy to be replaced by Greig Taylor 6 mins later. A great shot on the turn from Louis Lee forced an even better save from keeper Matt Cope tipping the ball over the bar with the resulting well worked corner being curled wide from Allinson on the half hour. The equaliser came on 32mins after Bobby Dance forced an error from Ross Crabtree on the left allowing Paul Garrett to fire a ball across the goal from the byline with Lee Allinson stuning the ball into the net at the far post. Luke Donnelly put Garretts deflected shot over the bar just before Joel Mason put Stotfold ahead on 42 mins tucking Allinsons superbly weighted chip forward, low past Matt Cope. Masons second came after some good work from Luke Donnelly on the left hand side of the halfway line shielding the ball then launching a diagonal ball forward to the right for Mason to chest down taking it away from his marker and then lob the approaching keeper on 56 mins. After a poor challenge on Ryan Nicholl and some pushing and shoving, Ref Shaun Barry showed Captain Michael Palmieri a straight red on 62 mins. Danny Dow forced a good low stop from Gillham after breaking down the right before he pulled one back on 84 mins, after a poor clearance on the left, firing low to the far post. Any talk of a comeback was quickly laid to rest when Mason completed his hat trick on 85 mins, taking his goal tally to 7 in this competition so far, Allinsons ball in from the right corner was redirected towards goal by Bobby Dance with Mason poaching the at the far post.The time added on for the earlier dismissal meant there was still time for Stanstead to create 2 good chances with Mark Bryant clearing Paul Seymours overhead kick off the line and Greig Taylors low shot comming off the bottom of the upright.

FA VASE 2ND QUALIFYING ROUND, RAUNDS 0 STOTFOLD 5.
Despite this scoreline the home team had the better of the chances in the first half with Danny Frid having a free header at Brad Gillham on 4 mins and David Coales header and shot cleared off the line by Ryan Nicholl on 22 mins. The first goal came on 35 mins when Lee Allinson headed Paul Garretts corner between keeper Shaun Allen and the near post. The remainder of the half saw Raunds create the better chances but Joe Rich headed over and Ashley Bradshaw shot wide from just inside the box 3 mins from time. Good chances came for Allinson, shot blocked by Coales on the line, and Louis Lee whose shot was deflected wide from close range after Allen spilled a ball in, before Tawhid Juneja headed down from corner to double the lead on 51 mins. Some very neat passing from Louis Lee and Allinson on the right set up Garrett in the middle to place the ball into the back of the net 4 mins later. Louis Lee put a great opportunity wide after taking the ball past 2 defenders in the middle of the box and rounding the keeper on 56 mins. Mason and Dance combined well on the right to set up Garrett for what should have been his second but Dan Ridgeway blocked the ball on the line with his upper arm giving the referee no option other than send him off, leaving Garrett to get his eighth goal of the season from the penalty spot on 64 mins. Allinson wrapped up the scoring on 77 mins with a well placed free kick round the wall into the far bottom corner from the left taking his tally for the season to seven.This result sets up a home tie against Tring on the 6th of Oct, after they beat Bedford United 3-0.

ST NEOTS 1 STOTFOLD 2
The first 2 chances came to St Neots With Stuart Beevors freekick from the left clipping the wall and going wide on 11 mins and Ryan Francis' free kick from the right curling wide on 15 mins. A Stotfold corner on 20 mins lead to the first goal Juneja flicked the ball forward it was cleared at the far post out to Callum Donnelly just outside the box whose powerful dipping shot was parried over the bar by Ivan Finch. Unfortunately for St Neots Ivan Finch was not their goalkeeper and after the referee had sent him off Garrett blasted in from the penalty spot on 20 mins. The next goal came from a corner from the other side, Garrett firing the ball across the face of goal for Joel Mason to tap in at the far post on 27 mins. The remainder of time should have been a matter of killiing the game off with the extra man but some strange refereeing decisions and poor tackles meant the second half was a bit messy. Lee Allinson had probably the best chance on 68 mins heading Callum Donnelly's cross straight at keeper Martyn Patching with the home team getting a goal back a minute later through Ryan Francis' strike after Ashley Deverall's free kick was knocked onto him in the box.Francis followed this by putting the ball over the bar from about 6 yds out. 2 superb saves from Gillham, Francis' free kick tipped over and John Coleys flick tipped wide, ensured the points went to Stotfold despite the 16 minutes of stoppage time.

FA CUP 2ND RND QUALIFYING CHESHAM UNITED 1 STOTFOLD 1
Both sides had last minute replacement goalkeepers with Cheshams Richard Hayward being replaced by Luke Blackmore from Hendon and Scott Waters stepping in for Brad Gillham after badly bruising his chest at St Neots on Tuesday. Two early shots from distance both went wide for Richard Howard and Carl Bruce, before Joel Mason headed just wide of the bottom of the far upright from a quickly taken corner on 10 mins. Cheshams goal came on 27 mins when Richard Howard put Mark Lambert through to slot the ball under Waters. Up until this point neither side were playing very well with the home team having a good spell after the goal without troubling Waters in the goal. The second half started with one of the quickest goals I can remember from a kick off with Louis Lee passing to Mason who took the ball to the left hand side of the box, past the last defender and curled a great shot round the keeper and in off the bottom of the upright. The rest of the half seemed dull in comparison to this goal and other than Waters parrying Carl Bruces low shot, and Blackmore stealing the ball from Louis's feet chances were few and far between. The winners of Tuesdays replay at Roker Park will have a home tie against Tonbridge Angels in the next round.

FA CUP 2ND RND QUALIFYING REPLAY STOTFOLD 2 CHESHAM UNITED 1
Mason and Garrett strikes seal win in thrilling replay.
Compared to Saturdays tie this was a much faster paced game with Stotfolds initial worries over injuries carried over from the weekend not affecting the line up with the only change being Mark Bryant replacing the suspended Ian Morrison. Chesham's Danny Burnell started the first half off forcing a good tip wide from Waters as he tried to curl the ball round him from the edge of the box on 12 mins. An equally good save, from the visitors keeper Luke Blackmore, denied Mason from the same position he finished from on Saturday 5 mins later. Michael Sharman managed to shoot just wide after Matt Skinners initial shot was blocked by Ryan Nicholl, shortly followed by Mark Lamberts shot from the right bouncing back across goal off the inside of the bar on 20 mins. The opening goal came on 37mins with Joel Mason being put through on the right and shooting low to the far post, taking his FA Cup goal tally this season to nine. 10 mins into the second half and Masons low cross through the box was met at the far post by Garrett who stuck his shot into the side netting from a tight angle. The Chesham equaliser came on 59 mins after a low kicked clearance from Scott Waters deflected off Tawhid Juneja and fell for Lambert on the right who squared the ball into the middle for Burnell to side foot in. What turned out to be the winner came on 76 mins as Lee Allinsons free kick, from wide on the left into the box, was only headed clear as far as Paul Garrett on the edge of the box to perfectly volley into the back of the net. The remaining 15mins plus stoppage time saw a hotly contested dissallowed goal for Chesham, a good parry wide from sub Dom Marsalas strike, a shot cleared acrobatically off the Stotfold goalline and a glaring miss by Richard Howard sliding in and putting the ball over the bar from inside the 6yd box. All this sets up another home tie on the 13th of October at 12.30 against Isthmian Premier side Tonbridge Angels after they beat Maldon Town 3-0 in extra time.Scott Waters, Ryan Nicholl, Mark Bryant, Colin Shambrook, Tawhid Juneja, Luke Donnelly, Callum Donnelly (Bobby Dance), Louis Lee (Tommy Hull), Joel Mason, Lee Allinson, Paul Garrett .

FA VASE 1st ROUND STOTFOLD 0 TRING ATHLETIC 1
After Tuesdays action Tring drop Stotfold back down to earth and deservedly progress to the next round.
Stotfold had the better of the first half posession but few real chances for either side with Lee Allinsons flicked header from a corner at the near post cleared off the line on 10 mins, and Tye Norths low shot from the left well parried wide by Scott Waters on 20 mins being the only real opportunities of the half. Trings Vinnie Iannone hit a good ball across the face of goal which Waters could only parry away from danger on 48 mins, this was shortly followed by a good strike by Phil Otum which Waters blocked again with the reboung headed over the bar by North. Allinson almost punished Trings keeper Michael Lavender, after he spilled a ball into the box, but he but the ball wide on 52 mins. Stotfolds best chances of the half came on 63 mins from a corner with Allinsons header being parried on the line only as far as Louis Lee who headed over. Ty North put a ball in from the right over the bar at the near post and as the game went on the SML side looked the more likely to score which they did with a little good fortune on 83 mins when Greg Shaws strike from outside the box deflected off the rear of Ian Wilkinson to send Waters the wrong way and Tring into the next round.

HINCHINGBROOKE CUP STOTFOLD 0 NORTHAMPTON SPENCER 2
It wasn't the best warm up for this Saturdays game but with a few players rested after the FA Vase exit it was an opportunity to see a bit more of the team on the sidelines. The first half took a little while to get going but a well worked ball, from Morrison to Freddie Morris then Bobby Dance, should have finished with a goal but Callum Donnellys low shot from the edge of the box went just wide on 22 mins. Spencers Kevin Slinn thought he had scored 5 mins later when he was put through and scored but the ref pulled play back for a free kick which the visitors took quickly but was comfortably cleared. Keith Coughlins run towards goal was abruptly halted on the edge of the box with Dances' curling free kick forcing a good low save from keeper Shaun Markie. Steve Jelly missed a great opportunity when he recieved the ball on the edge of the box with space around him and shot wide just after the half hour and Masons low ball across goal flew just behind Morris in the middle of the box. The visitors took the lead a minute before the break when Karl Bates put Phil Cassidy through on the right to fire low past Scott Walters with the ball going in off the far post. Mason forcing a good low reation save heading down from a corner just after the break was about the best chance of the half for Stotfold with Spencer getting their second after winning a loose ball in the middle of the park Kevin Slinn fired in low from the right hand side on 76 mins.

FA CUP 3RD RND QUALIFYING STOTFOLD 0 TONBRIDGE ANGELS 5
No big cup upset at Roker Park as Tonbridge Angels put 5 past Stotfold.
Todays early kick off dodging the England game attracted one of the biggest crowds at Roker park in recent times with the travelling supporters enjoying their day out more than the Bedfordshire side. After the inital tentative start from both sides Hamid Barr was given a little too much space on the edge of the box and chipped Stotfolds Scott Waters with the ball going in off the underside of the bar after 9 mins. Hamid got his and the visitors second heading down Jon Mains cross from the left on 23 mins with the United Counties side hardly troubling visiting keeper Matt Read. When Stotfold did go forward the bit of space created at the back allowed a Main to break down the left from shooting low to the far post with Waters fingertips on the ball not enough to stop the visitors getting their third on 30 mins. The only real chance for the home side in the first half fell for the FA Cup's top scorer Joel Mason, but his stabbed shot from a loose free kick was comfortably collected by Matt Read 10 mins from the break. A good strong wall denied Barr getting his free kick close to goal and Walters managed to get his hand to Mains shot tipping it onto the upright to keep the half time score 0-3. The second half saw Ian Morrison come close to pulling one back with his strike through the box being blocked and Paul Garretts free kick going just wide, while Walters kept the away supporters entertained clearing the ball skywards back across goal then collecting on the other side after being put under pressure from Ryan Martin. Stotfolds better possession in the second half was possibly down to the Isthmian side taking their foot off the gas after the triple substitutions for Stotfold failed to produce any more than Bobby Dance's header over the bar, Jon Main added two more on 84 and 86 minutes knocking a corner in at the post and a superb shot from the right to the far upright to complete his hat trick.

STOTFOLD 4 RAUNDS 2
Mason hat trick signals return to winning ways.
Raunds couldn't have fancied the journey down the A1 tonight, after the two previous meetings this season and the driving rain, but the side at the bottom of the league reminded us that there are no guaranteed points in this league. Mason forced 2 good saves from the visiting keeper Chris Jones before knocking the ball over the line from Garretts corner on 15 mins, some loose marking allowed Raunds' Jamie Russell to level the scoreline after he fired in a ball chipped into the box 4 mins later. Ian Morrison had two good opportunities to nod Stotfold back in front from free kicks but a goaline clearance and a misplaced header meant that it was Mason who put the Rokermen ahead with a superbly weighted pass from Bobby Dance enticing Jones to come off his line with Joel winning the race to the ball, knocking it past him and into the back of the net 3 mins before the break. Mason completed his hat trick 10 mins into the second half, after his header from Garretts cross from the left was tipped onto the bar, he beat the defender to the rebound while the keeper was still on the floor. The 2 goal cushion however was short lived, after Josh Davies punished some napping at the back shooting low to the far post from the right hand side 1 minute after the restart. A good tip wide from substitute Joe Rich's shot by Stotfolds reserve keeper Clive Weatherall on 88 mins, kept the lead intact with Lee Allinson punishing a poor clearance firing through the box a minute before full time.

LONG BUCKBY 3 STOTFOLD 3
After leading 2-0 at half time Bucks peg Stotfold back to take share of points.
The first good chances of the game came for the hosts, but a good double save from close range by Clive Weatherall denied Long Buckby the opener 8 mins in. Paul Garrett had a great opportunity to start the scoring, heading Masons filicked on cross down at keeper Martyn Margason, which he collected at the second attempt a few mins later. On 21 mins, while Buckby Captain Darren Harmon was appealing to the Referee, Juneja's quickly taken throw in was flicked onto Mason who made a little space for himself with the first touch and fired in from around the penalty spot. 5 mins later, after a foul on Callum Donnelly, Paul Garretts free kick from the right was curled towards the keeper and after he had stooped to collect it the ball bounced up and Lee Allinson pounced to head in from close range. The home team didn't trouble the Stotfold goal for the rest of the half with a couple of shots from distance and a handball shout just before the break. The second half saw a sharper Long Buckby side and after Bobby Dance headed Garretts pinpoint cross from the left over the bar 2 mins in, the better chances started to come their way. Just as Stotfold had done in the first half, the Bucks pulled 2 goals back in 5 mins with Ben Foster slipping in behind the last defender on the left and shooting low to the far post on 55 mins and Andreas Kattos volleying in a flicked forward free kick from close range shortly after. The lead was quickly restored 4 mins later after ball forward for Mason to chase was met by keeper Margason but his clearance fell short of the halfway line and Garrett smartly curled the ball into the empty net from just inside the oppositions half. A good low save from Weatherall stopped Kattos from getting his second but a lack of concentration at the back allowed Ben Foster in to fire his second in from the right to the far post on 84 mins.

STOTFOLD 1 BOSTON TOWN 3
Two chances went begging for both sides in the first 5 mins with Bostons Paul Goodhand dragging a shot wide and Joel Mason taking Lee Allinsons ball forward too close to keeper Bart Griemink allowing him to get a hand to the ball. The first goal came after Stotfold failed to clear the ball effectively, with the ricocheted clearance falling kindly for Gareth Pritchard on the right allowing him to fire the ball low in off the far post on 8 mins. The visitors could have doubled their lead 2 mins later after a slip at the back let Gary Bull in, but his curling shot was well parried by Clive Weatherall. An equaliser looked on the cards after Ollier Pinner wrestled Callum Donnelly to the floor and ref Ian Turner pointed to the spot on 19 mins. But after missing a penalty midweek Paul Garrett again was denied, this time by the feet of Bostons Griemink. On 32 mins, after little more than pushing and shoving between Mark Bryant and Ollie Pinner, the Referee decided the only way to deal with the situation was to issue red cards to both players. The officials were again in the spotlight, this time for the second goal after loud appeals for offside when Captain Gary Bull was put through on the left. His low ball across goal being flicked in by Paul Goodhand on the stroke of half time. The second half was dominated by Stotfold with Lee Allinsons shot blocked by the keepers knees on 50 mins and his corner headed down cleared off the line with Mason firing over the rebound 10 mins later. Boston got their 3rd on 67mins after a break down the left from Neal Spafford, Weatherhall getting a hand to the low shot but only enough to push it onto the post and in. 2 of the 3 substitutes combined to get the Stotfold goal on 90 mins, Bobby Dance passing in Louis Lee's cut back ball from the byline.

STOTFOLD 2 NEWPORT PAGNELL 2
After losing two previous games against Newport Pagnell this season, Stotfold made their intentions clear from the kick off with Callum Donnelly having a shot cleared off the line and Ian Morison heading a corner just over the bar in the first 10 mins. The first goal however went to tonights visitors after Referee Gary Colby awarded a penalty after a shot driven through the box struck Paul Garretts hand. Martin Kelly stepped up and tucked the spot kick under Scott Waters on 14 mins. Stotfolds equaliser came on 36 mins after Ian Morrison headed a corner back across goal for Joel Mason to head in at the post. As on Saturday Stotfold conceded another goal late in the first half when Pagnell broke down the left and Kelly fired in his second from just inside the D on 45 mins. Mason forced the first save of the second half when his deflected cross from the left was punched clear by James Howarth but there was not many keepers that would have stopped Lee Allinsons equaliser on 53 mins. With the wall lined up just inside the box Allinson lifted his free kick over the players and into the very top corner of the goal. Although a majority of the rest of the game was played in the visitors half Stotfold failed to convert their many chances and possesion into shots at goal, with Allinson coming closest on 85 mins from a free kick in a similar position as the goal this time Howarth parrying the ball wide.

STOTFOLD 5 BOURNE 0
A goal each for Garrett & Mason, with Callum Donnellys hat trick completing this comfortable victory. The first goal came 10 mins into the game after a good run down the right and ball into the box from Louis Lee, dropped to Paul Garrett who, under no pressure from any defenders, comfortably headed the ball in. A ball through the middle for Joel Mason to run onto was unselfishly squared to Callum Donnelly who had time to take a touch and place his shot past keeper Ben Derbyshire on 23 mins. Good chances for Tawhid Juneja, with a header off the upright and Callum Donnelly with a header over the bar came and went before Clive Weatherall was finally called into action. A long throw into the box was flicked onto Chris Hutchcraft whose header down from close range was well held by Weatherall on on 42 mins. Lee Allinson's set up the 3rd goal 2 mins into first half stoppage time with a ball forward for Callum Donnelly to run onto take a touch and drive the ball under Derbyshire to the far post. The second half started with Garrett and Mason both putting shots wide before Mason got the 4th after coliding with Bourne's keeper in the air and managing to stab the ball goalwards on 58 mins, Captain Aaron Rideout unable to get to the ball in time to clear off the line. A goaline clearance from John Currall denied Mason another goal on 70 mins but this was going to be Donnellys day after Paul Garrett broke down the left and crossed low, Callum placed the ball back to the far post to complete his hat trick on 90 mins. Unfortunately Stotfold will lose Ian Morrison for at least 4 months after he broke his ankle landing awkwardly in the first half.

DESBOROUGH 2 STOTFOLD 1
Tommy Hull was unlucky not open the scoring 5 mins into the game when he flicked the ball towards goal from a corner and it was cleared off the line. Joel Mason put a unchallenged header over the bar from a free kick on 18 mins with Jamie O'Neil blasting a chance from the right over the bar for the home team 7 mins later. Desborough's first came from Jamie Gilsenan on the left squeezing his shot under Brad Gillham at the near post on 30 mins. Mason put another header wide of the goal 5 mins later from Allinsons free kick but the ball was flicked onto him and he didn't have time to react properly, Louis Lee also had a half chance but his shot, from close range shortly after, had the sting taken out of it by the defender and keeper Michael Evans collected the ball comfortably.The last good chance of the half parried by Gillham keeping O'Neils effort out 5 mins before the break. The start of the second half saw Stotfold bombard the home teams goal with a succession of corners and shots for the first 15 mins amazing not producing any goals, Allinson having 3 good chances to level the scoreline each time finding Evans blocking the goal. Desborough doubled their lead on the break through Michael Byrne on the right with Brad getting not enough of a hand to his shot to the far post on 63 mins. A couple of chances followed for Ricky case and Mason but it was sub Wayne Mulloolly that pulled the 1 goal back knocking the ball past the keeper as he came out of his area to clear a ball forward but with the seven minutes that remained the equaliser couldn't be found.

KEMPSTON 0 STOTFOLD 9. Match abandoned on 65 mins.
It took a short while for Stotfold to find the back of the net, hitting most shots wide of the mark, until Colin Shambrook bundled a spilt corner over the line on 14 mins the goals rained in. Two for Mason on 19 and 26 with Garrett shooting low to the far post from the left on 30 before Mason completed his hat trick on 36 mins. A sweet 25 yard strike from Allinson into the top corner on 40 mins was shortly followed by Garrett repeating his earlier goal on 42 to make it 7-0 at half time. Louis Lee set up both the second half goals allowing Callum Donnelly to side foot the ball in on 52 mins and Mason to dribble the ball round the keeper 3 mins later. On 65 mins the ground was plunged into darkness and Referee D. Jarrett abandoned the game shortly after putting Stotfold further behind in their league fixtures.

WOOTTON 2 STOTFOLD 4
With Mark Bryant, Callum Donnelly, Tommy Hull suspended and Joel Mason away, Paul Garrett and Louis Lee got the opportunity to start up front in this local derby. But the first goal came from Luke Donnelly, himself returning from injury on 8 mins. Ricky Case was brought down on the left hand side and the resulting free kick was floated by Lee Allinson onto Donnellys head for him to glance the ball down and off the keepers feet and in. A goaline clearance from Paul Donnelly on 16 mins after a bit of panic in the box kept the lead safe before Stotfold added a second on 29 mins. A good break down the left and low powerful strike fromPaul Garrett was parried by Woottons Piotr Karpuik but only as far as Rick Case running into the middle of the box to tap the ball over the line. The 2 goal lead was short lived however, after Wootton pulled 1 back when Krystof Matyszkiewi calmly rounded Brad Gillham and picked his spot past the 2 defenders on the line on 35 mins. The home team came very close to equalising at the end of the first half but Gillham did well to stop Ktrytof Karpuiks shot with his feet as he was put clean through. Wootton came out with a bit more purpose in the second half but were knocked back on 57 mins when Ricky Case received a ball from the right in the box, took a little touch to take it away from his marker, and fired it past the defenders on the line. This 2 goal advantage was even shorter lived than first when Wootton were awarded a free kick on the left which was crossed to the far post then headed back for Tom Francis to head over the line a minute later. This should have encouraged the home team to push for a share of the points but it was Stotfold that came closest with Louis Lee's cross glancing the crossbar and Allinsons shot clipping the corner of the post. Paul Garrett finally secured the points when Allinson put him through on the left and he knocked the ball past the last defender and shot low past Karpuik on 80 mins.

STOTFOLD 4 BLACKSTONES 2
Superb Stotfold performance ends Stones' 15 match winning run.
With the wind behind them in the first half Stotfold took the lead early on when Ricky Case on the left, took a little touch to give himself some space then fired low to the far post on 8 mins. There was little in the way of action for both teams until the half hour mark when Stotfold started to create some chances without troubling keeper Ian Flavell too much. Louis Lee missed out on a tap in at the far post after Case's cross from the left was flapped at by Flavell, Case dragged his low shot wide after some good work on the right from Louis Lee and Paul Garrett. Stotfold had looked much the better team in the first half but only had 1 goal up on Blackstones, a narrow lead taking into account the visitors recent form. Louis Lee won a corner after some good battling on the right with the resulting kick being flicked onto Joel Mason at the far post who swiftly chested the ball and knocked it over the line on 56 mins to double the lead. Shortly after Brad Gillham did well to parry wide Phil Stebbings shot after he worked his way through on the right but Blackstones were gifted their first goal when Colin Shambrook misjudged Flavells goal kick, heading the ball onwards past Gillham as he ran back towards goal on 70 mins. This piece of good fortune breathed life into the visitors and 2 minutes later they had drawn level when Phil Stebbing stunned Ash Stevens low cross over the line. Stones' jubilant celebrations were short lived however, after Paul Garrett showed good strength in the D, by powering forward and releasing Tawhid Juneja to knock the ball past Flavell on 75 mins. Luke Kennedy thought he had grabbed a point for Blackstones with 4 mins to go but was given offside, the last goal of the game went to Garrett after running through on the left fired the ball under the keeper to seal the win on 87 mins.

BEDS SENIOR CUP 1st Rnd STOTFOLD 3 BIGGLESWADE UTD 0
Tonights visitors have had their fair share of victories over Stotfold in recent times and for the first 15 mins had the better chances twice through Martin Russell, forcing a spectacular parry from Brad Gillham from a long range volley, and a good run down the left and a shot at Gillham from close range, which could have been cut back for other players arriving in the box. The first goal came on 21 mins after Tommy Hull won a corner on the right and Paul Garretts kick was headed straight in by Luke Donnelly from the middle of the 6 yard box. Joel Mason had 2 good strikes comfortably stopped by keeper Adam Lawrence before the break with Uniteds best chance coming for David Parker on 65 mins, firing over the bar from close range after Gillham spilled a cross from the right. Paul Garrett got his 17th goal of the season as he was running forward and a defender was trying to force him wide around the box, he unleashed a superb left footed strike that flew over the keepers outstretched palm and dipped under the bar on 72 mins. Biggleswades only other chance came from sub Daniel Gaskin who shot over the bar 5 mins later with Joel Mason securing a place in the next round heading in Paul Garretts corner at the near post on 89mins.

STOTFOLD 4 DESBOROUGH 1
Todays game started in torrential rain with both sides struggling get the ball under control, The visitors, who had beaten Stotfold 2-1 less than a month ago at the Waterworks, had the earlier chances with Tom Mills and Michael Byrne both shooting wide. Joel Mason had a good chance to open the scoring after he took the ball away from the last defender with his first touch but shot straight at keeper Michael Evans from close range. The games turning point came a minute later on 15 mins when Callum Donnelly barged Danny Pownall after the ball had gone. Donnelly received a yellow card from Ref Wayne Chalmers for his poorly timed challenge but it was a straight red for Pownall after he got up and head butted Callum. 2 Mins later and the supporters that had braved the weather were treated to the other side of Callum Donnelly, a fantastic strike from outside the box on the right hand side into the far top corner to open the scoring. The other 2 Donnellys were involved in the second goal 9 mins later after Luke was fouled on the edge of the box Paul's sweetly struck free kick was glanced in off Lee Allinsons head. Desborough were struggling to adjust to being a man down and were put further behind on 37 minutes after Stotfold broke quickly from a rare attack from the visitors. Jamie Taylor set Callum Donnelly off on the right who played the ball across for Mason who was just beaten to the ball by keeper Evans smothering the ball. Somehow the ball popped out from under his arm as he slid across the box and Mason was alert and on hand to knock the ball away from him to prevent him from collecting it and into the net before any defenders could get back to clear. The second half started with Jamie Taylor missing a great chance sliding in at the far post and putting Masons low cross wide, with Mason and Callum both put further chances the wrong side of the woodwork. The 4th goal came after Mark Bryant's strike was palmed down by Robbie Maddox and, with Garrett missing through suspension, Allinson increased his seasons goal tally firing in from the spot on 80 mins. Desboroughs consolation came after a bit of pressure and a ball back into the middle of the box was taken down by Tom Mills round Brad Gillham and tapped in on 86 mins.

YAXLEY 0 STOTFOLD 5
Saturdays game at leading Leading Drove was 1 of only 5 games to get started in UCL this weekend giving Stotfold the opportunity to catch up on their games in hand. Paul Donnelly was almost the first scorer on 15 mins after his cross from the right deceived keeper John Feetham and bounced off the line then away to safety. Paul Garrett struck his first opportunity straight at Feetham on 21 mins with the opening goal coming 4 mins later after Luke Donnellys diving header from a corner was blocked by the arm of Chris Lenton. Lee Allinson calmly tucked the penalty away after the referee had pointed to the spot and booked Lenton for his response to the decision. A couple of mins later and Lenton came very close to getting his head onto Mark Pauls long ball forward from the right for an equaliser but the second goal came after a corner from the right was flicked in by Allinsons head then cleared by a defender from behind the line and then bundled back over by Mason to make sure on 34 mins. Again the home team had another good opportunity to pull one back after the goal but Lee Blewett put a ball in from the left wide of the mark. Callum Donnelly buried a loose ball from a corner in the back of the net on 37 mins only to have it dissallowed for Mason being offside. Donnelly only had to wait another 3 mins to get his goal after Garrett broke through the middle and set Mason off on the left. His low cross for Callum on the edge of the box was hit first time at the keeper but the rebound flew straight back to Callums feet who confidently lifted the ball over the grounded keeper. A double substitution at halftime almost had an instant effect for the home team when Jimmy Dean headed onto the bar on 48 mins, and only a brave sliding block from Brad Gillham denied the prolific Mark Paul a goal after he was put through the middle on 68 mins. Callum Donnelly's cross from near the right hand corner flag set up the 4th goal on 70 mins after the ball sailed over Mason in the box Garrett was at the far post to head in. Allinson and Garrett both tried chiping the keeper from distance when he strayed off his line, with Allinsons effort coming closest when it bounced off the crossbar. The final goal came 5 mins from the end as Yaxley were pushing forward, Mason took advantage on the left hand side and unselfishly squared the ball for Callum Donnelly running into the box who again had a little 1-2 with the keeper before putting the ball in the back of the net.

COGENHOE 1 STOTFOLD 3
On another day the home team could easily have been 3 goals up within the first 20 mins. Rob Foster had 4 clean sights of goal with Brad Gillham stopping the first from the right, parrying wide the next two attempts and then chipping the 4th over the bar. Stotfold didn't trouble Cogenhoe keeper Ricky Hughes until he had stop 2 Joel Mason efforts, the first pushing wide a low shot on the turn from Callum Donnellys reverse pass on 25 mins and the second holding onto his point blank header 6 mins later. As the first half progressed better chances came Stotfolds way with Lee Allinson heading a corner inches wide at the near post and Luke Donnelly having his shot saved. The opening goal came three minutes before the break when Allinson dropped a corner into the crowded 6yd box for Tawhid Juneja to muscle the ball over the line. Cogenhoe equalised 4 mins into the second half after several failed attempts to effectively clear the ball were punished by Neil Champlovier passing a parried shot from the left into the back of the net. The Cooks celebrations were however short lived after Stotfold restored the lead on 53 mins with one of their best goals of the season so far. Louis Lee pushed through the middle and played the ball to the left for Mason, his first touch taking the ball past the defender to the byline, where he cut the ball back for Paul Garrett to hit first time curling it round Ricky Hughes. For the next 25 mins Stotfold were much the better side with Garrett adding his second on 70 mins with a superb curler from the edge of the box going in off the underside of the bar. A vital block from Cogenhoe's Adam Knight kept Louis Lees name off the scoresheet on 75 mins with Brad Gillham holding onto Champloviers strike late in the half to make safe all 3 points.

STOTFOLD 6 S&L CORBY 0.
With Luke Donnelly and Lee Allinson both missing through suspension and the visitors having a better season than normal, 3 points was never guaranteed. The first 30 mins consisted of a few half chances for both sides with Stotfolds Joel Mason and Paul Garrett both having shots well held by Corby's Richard Lavin and the visitors missing the target. The opener came after a Paul Garrett free kick wide on the left was headed as far as Callum Donnelly, on the edge of the box, whose sweetly hit volley flew into the back of the net on 30 mins. The rest of the action and goals came in the second half with S & L's Lee Garvie attempting to loft the ball over Brad while he was off his line and Tawhid Juneja getting a vital block on Bobby Drains shot. Joel Mason had a good shot on the turn blocked wide just before the second goal on 60 mins when Ricky Case's well weighted diagonal pass set Callum Donnelly free on the right to fire in his second, low to the far post. A corner won and taken by Garrett was headed back across and into the middle of the box by Juneja for Louis Lee to volley in his 2nd goal of this campaign on 63 mins. His first was also against Corby at the start of the season. A rare long ball forward was well chested down by Case taking him into the penalty area where he was clumsily challenged from behind by Paul Djeverelovic. Referee D. Jarrett pointed to the spot and Callum Donnelly fired the ball into the roof of the net to complete second hat trick of the season on 69 mins. Joel Mason should have made it four on 72 mins after Lavin could only parry Garretts shot but Mason put the rebound over the bar. S & L's Paul Djeverelovic's afternoon was took a turn for the worse on 78 mins when his outstretched boot looped Ricky Case's shot past his own keeper. Good defending Tommy Hull and Louis Lee cleared any danger of Corby sub Derek Simmons getting on the scoresheet with the last word coming from 2 of Stotfolds subs, newly signed Aaron Fehmi providing a rapid ball across the face of goal for Sam Gittings to side foot in on 83 mins.

LANGFORD 1 STOTFOLD 3
Stotfold progress to next round after 2 early goals stun Langford. A weighted chip into the box from Lee Allinson was well controlled by Ricky Case as he held off the last defender then twisted away and struck the ball past Steve Young on 4 mins. A fierce Paul Garrett shot from the left could only be parried wide by Steve Young, narrowly missing Allinson running into the box. But the ball was quickly put back in the area to Allinsons feet who turned and stabbed the ball low under Youngs right hand side on 14 mins. Langford started to come into the tie later into the half with a couple of Rob Groves' efforts going wide but most attacks for the home side were quickly halted for offside. A vital block from Mark Bryant prevented Rob Groves' shot from the edge of the box getting through early in the second half with Young shortly after holding onto Joel Mason's low strike. But the next goal came on 58mins from a good Mason run through the middle and pass wide out to the right. Louis Lee superbly blasted the ball low to the far post getting his name on the scoresheet again after Saturdays rare goal. A free kick on 64 mins was knocked down for Wes Byrne but he could only poke the ball wide, with Lee Pateman's curling shot also wide 4 mins later. The home teams goal came after a ball into the area was met by Brad Gillham and Gary Walker coliding in the 6yd box with Walker kicking the ball in whilst lying on the ground 5 mins from the end.

DEEPING 1 STOTFOLD 1
The top two played out a scrappy stalemate at Outgang Road, an outcome of more benefit to the Eagles who have four games in hand over the reigning champions.Lee Ellison and Richard Thompson failed to hit the target for Deeping early on while Lee Allinson volleyed narrowly wide for Stotfold.Visiting keeper Brad Gillham distinguished himself with two fine saves, first turning away Tawhid Juneja's misplaced clearance from a John-Paul Duncliffe free kick and then spreading himself well to thwart David Cobb after the winger cut inside.Deeping made the breakthrough after 34 minutes when Ellison played the ball in behind the visiting defence for Cobb to run clear and cut inside before slotting home. On resumption Cobb threatened to increase the home advantage with a solo run, but Paul Donnelly's vital block kept Stotfold in the game. The visitors improved as the game progressed and Allinson's volley from a Louis Lee knock down was narrowly too high. A fingertip save from Gillham kept out a Michael Stevenson free kick curled around the defensive wall, and the Eagles levelled after 74 minutes. Joel Mason raced past his marker on the right and his cross picked out Paul Garrett who squeezed a shot just inside Danny Bircham's right hand post. Three minutes later Mason had the chance to win the contest for the Eagles after collecting a Garrett pass, but Bircham blocked his first effort and the striker fired over from the rebound.

POTTON 0 STOTFOLD 3. Three second half goals return Stotfold to the top of the top of the table.
As in previous years this seasonal fixture was a bit of a non event, with few chances for both sides in the first half. Marlon Jones almost got an early opening goal on 8 mins when put through but a good parry wide from Gillham and clearance from Mark Bryant saw off the danger. Stotfold didn't start to create any chances until the half hour mark when a couple of Louis Lee crosses from the right were put over the bar by Mark Bryant and fired at keeper Joe Purcell by Paul Garrett. The opening goal came 4 mins into the second half after Ricky Case forced Purcell into pushing his shot from the left wide Case headed down the resulting corner and after a slight deflection it fell into the back of the net. The second came much later in the half with Stotfold breaking from a Potton corner. Juneja's clearance was worked down the left for Garrett to cross into Lee Allinson who's touch then low shot to the keepers right extended the lead on 82 mins. The all important 3rd goal that puts us at the top of the league on goals scored, came 2 mins from the end when Juneja put Garrett through on the right to strike low past Joe Purcell.

WELLINGBOROUGH TOWN 2 STOTFOLD 1
Another poor performance results in Rokermen being bumped off the top of the table.
The first half saw few opportunities for both sides with Brad Gillham pushing David Glass's shot from outside the box wide on 20 mins with Stotfolds best chance 4 mins later when Louis lee headed a freekick from the left onto Joel Mason who's touch and shot forced a good save from Alex Malone. At the end of the half Jed Ainge put Jon Mitchells cut back ball from the left wide and after a touch off the defenders back, Joel Mason shot low and wide. Apart from a Paul Garrett strike wide at the start of the second half the home team created the better openings with Jon Mitchell denied twice by Gillham before sliding in to meet a cross from the right and open the scoring on 56 mins. This did spark a bit of life into Stotfold with Louis Lee pushing his way through the defence a couple of times, His pass to Allinson put over the bar and his own shot from the right curling wide of the far post. The Wellingborough keeper almost put the ball over the line himself after Allinsons free kick from the left was fired at the near post on 69 mins but on 76 mins the home side got their second with a ball through the middle for Mitchell to run onto, his low shot sending Brad the wrong way. A few mins later in the other goal Malong looked confident letting Allisons free kick go wide as it hit the bottom of the upright but was later caught out as substitute Arin Fehmi curled a free kick from the edge of the D, round the wall and into the bottom corner on 87 mins. Stotfold only chance to salvage a point came in stoppage time when Ricky Case's shot through a crowded box was deflected towards Mason but Malong got down well to see off the danger.

Stotfold started the match the brighter of the two sides with Joel Mason forcing a strong parry wide from Bark Gremink after Ricky Case put him clean through on 5 mins. Case, 10 mins later put in a cross from wide on the right which was met in the box by Paul Garrett whose 1st time volley went wide. Gary Bull headed down a cross from the right down into the arms of Brad Gillham on 20 mins before a poor goal kick from Gremink was very nearly punished after Garrrett won the ball from the last defender but Mason could only stab the ball wide. Just as the home team started to come into the game with Liam Ogden forcing Gillham to parry wide a shot from the right, Stotfold took the lead on 39 mins. Louis Lee headed the ball forward on the left for Joel Mason to run onto, and as Gremink advanced Mason deftly lifted the ball over him into the back of the net. Colin Shambrook got back to keep Gary Bulls shot past Gillham out as the home team applied more pressure and Stotfold conceded too many free kicks around the area. The equaliser came on the stroke of half time when Paul Goodhands free kick inside the D was floated over the wall with Brad getting a hand to it but unable to keep it out. Stotfold had 2 great chances at the start of the second half to restore their lead with Mason, Garrett, Case, passing the ball round the box only for Allinson to blast over from the right, and Garrett heading Louis Lee's cross from the right back down for Mason to fire over. A great block from Juneja kept Gary Bulls powerful strike at bay on 70 mins but a cross from wide on the right 3 mins later was bundled over the line at the far post by Gary Bull. Just as the home team had dominated the end of the first 45, Stotfold did the same in the second half. Shots went wide from Luke Donnelly, Joel Mason and Lee Allinson with the battling until the final whistle paying off deep into stoppage time. A corner, which even saw Brad Gillham make an apperance in the oppositions box, was headed back out to Paul Garrett who fired the ball back into the box onto the head of Lee Allinson with his back to goal, and with the slightest of touches looped the ball over Gremink and into the far corner.

STOTFOLD 7 WOOTTON 1. It's raining goals at Roker Park!
New signing Dan Douglas got the scoring going nice and early, volleying Ricky Case's cross from the right into the roof of the net after 5 mins. Luke Donnelly added a second four minutes later with a low scuffed shot from just inside the box on the right. Douglas' flicked header set up Ricky Case who stabbed the ball in after his first shot was blocked by keeper Dan Rogers on 14 mins with Case returning the assist 3 mins later by supplying the cross from the right for Douglas to comfortably head in his second. Luke Donnelly popped up and headed in his second from a corner to make it 5-0 on 25 mins. Paul Garrett got back for a timely tackle to deny Ben Bains a shot a few minutes later with Mo Banda forcing a good push over the bar from Gillham after he was put through on the left. Banda did get himself on the scoresheet however, putting the resulting corner away from close range after it was flicked onto him through the crowded box. The second half started as the first with a couple of early goals, Joel Mason putting Lee Allinson through on the right to chip the keeper for what should have been the 6th, but Jack Sibbons got back to clear off the line only as far as Ricky Case running into the box who side footed in his second on 47 mins. The last goal of this wet afternoon came 6 mins later, Luke Donnelly headed down Garretts corner onto the feet of Lee Allinson for him to flick over the line sealing this comfortable win.

AFC KEMPSTON 0 STOTFOLD 8
The replay of November's abandoned midweek match, again finished with a bundle of goals.
Paul Garrett blasted in the first goal on four minutes after Ricky Case's cross from the right flew over Joel Mason in the middle and was met on the left hand side by Garrett running into the box. Ricky Case and Lee Allinson both had good chances stopped by Chris Williscroft (Yes.... son of Physio Ian Williscroft) in the Kempston goal before Tawhid Juneja picked out Case running into the box from the right, who placed his shot under the keeper for the second on 24 mins. Ian Aspins clumsy challenge on Paul Donnelly as he run towards the box was punished by a free kick in the D, which Lee Allinson expertly curled round the wall and into the back of the net on 27mins. After miss hitting a great 1 on 1 opportunity a few minutes earlier Dan Douglas made up for it by getting the last goal of the half on 42 mins. Ricky Case hooked the ball back into the box from the byline, and with Garrett and Allinson both jumping for it in the middle, it fell to Douglas to head in from close range at the post. The first 20 mins of the second half saw Allinson scuff a shot wide, Case's blasted volley deflected wide and Brad Gillham stop Keith Brady's shot from distance. Paul Garrett knocked in his his second on 67 mins after Douglas headed down Allinsons cross from the right at the far post, and Juneja was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet shortly after when his header down was cleared off the line by Neil Chance. After coming on a few mins earlier Callum Donnelly made it 6-0 on 75 mins, squeezing his low shot in after being put through on the right. Dan Douglas calmly side footed in the 7th after Allinson was put through by Callum Donnelly and his shot at the keeper fell for Douglas at the far post. Joel Mason finally got himself a goal after having a good strike a few mins ealier pushed wide, he headed in Callum Donnellys corner on 83 mins to make todays scoreline just one less than the 60 minutes played in November.

BEDS SENIOR CUP STOTFOLD 4 LANGFORD 0
Stotfold book a Semi final place after dominant performance from start to finish kept local rivals Langford at bay.
Calum Donnelly almost got the opening goal with his outstretched boot putting Joel Masons cross from the left, just wide on 7mins. A free kick on the right was droppped into the box by Paul Garrett on 14mins, for Luke Donnelly to bundle the ball over the line at the near post, coliding with the upright in the process. A strong finish towards the end of the half effectively sealed the win. After Luke Donnelly had headed Masons ball in from the right onto the upright, some great close control from Louis Lee dribbling the ball through the box enabled him to pick out Lee Allinson for him pass the ball in from close range on 44 mins. Lee's second came 2 mins later in stoppage time after Masons smartly headed the ball forward picked him out unmarked in the middle where he had time to pick his spot and volley in. Juneja was the only player awake at the start of the second half for a free kick from the right which he put across the face of goal but no one reacted to. A great cross from Louis Lee found Mason in the box but his header was straight at Steve Young and a good touch forward from Mason to Callum Donnelly in space on the right should have finished in a goal but Donnelly put his low shot into the side netting. A break down the right for the visitors and cross from Dave Brown almost found Mark Wright as he ran into the box on 66 mins while shortly after Callum Donnelly nicked the ball from Steve Young on edge of the area, and after the ball rolled to the byline, again stuck the ball into side netting. Allinson grabbed his third, taking his goals total this season to 24, with Callum providing the ball into the box from the right for him to turn and fire in low past Young on 71 mins.

STOTFOLD 1 COGENHOE 0
Louis Lee had the first good chance of the afternoon with his glancing header, from Lee Allinsons free kick on the left, just going wide of the bottom of the far post and Rob Foster should have done better for the visitors shortly after putting his free kick from the corner of the box wide. Paul Donnellys superb cross from the left was well headed, but put wide by Callum Donnelly on the right of the box on 10 mins, with Joel Mason also striking over and Luke Donnellys ball driven across the face of goal cleared by Adam Knight before it could be turned in. What turned out to be the winning goal came on 26 mins, Paul Donnellys first goal of the season and one to remember came from a short corner that was put into the box by Paul Garrett but only cleared as far as Donnelly. From 25 yds out in the middle of the pitch the sweetest of strikes rocketed through the box and into the back of the net leaving keeper Darren Watts stunned. Mason came closest to doubling the lead at the end of the half from Allinsons header forward, quickly turning goalwards and shooting across the face of goal in one swift movement. The start of the second half saw a couple of Paul Garrett free kicks from good positions the first comfortably collected by Watts and the second going over the bar. Cogenhoe seemed to push more players forward in the second half but lacked any real conviction, a deflected cross from Dan Thomason and Ben Holley's low shot wide from distance the only worthy opportunities. Lee Allinsons shot from a Cogenhoe clearance was almost deflected into the top corner and with a few minutes to go Allinsons free kick from the touchline was touched into the goalkeepers chest at the near post. This solid allround performance may not have the glamorous sounding scoreline we have had recently but 3 points against a team like Cogenhoe are always well earned.

NORTH BEDS CHARITY CUP WOOTTON 1 STOTFOLD 3
This result is can largely be put down to Goalkeeper Brad Gillham, a handful of fine saves throughout the game from the man who has been a onlooker in recent games, reminded us what a top goalkeeper we have. Krysztof Matieskiewicz forced a good close range stop from Gillham 8 mins in after being put through on the right with Wayne Mulloolly missing a good chance to turn the ball in at the near post from a corner shortly after. The home team scored first on 16 mins after Adam Marsh's free kick from the right bounced in the box, and when it looked as if no one was going to clear it, Nick Love placed his shot in under Gillham. Dan Douglas had his touch forward cleared off the line from a corner and Stuart Richardson thought he could catch Gillham out taking his free kick on the edge of the D early but the ball was comfortably collected. Another good stop with his feet on the half hour kept Craig Daniels shot away after he had a clear sight of goal and after parrying a shot from Matieskiewicz shortly after Colin Shambrook got back on the line to stop Nick Love scoring from the rebound. Wootton kept the pressure on into the second half, Love again beating the back line on the right with Brad this time parrying his low shot then quickly collecting the ball before Ben Baines could follow in. A handball from a corner by Matieskiewicz gave Stotfold a route back into the game, with Arin Fehmi tucking in from the spot on 58 mins. Less than 2 mins later and Stotfold had taken the lead after Mulloolly picked out Callum Donnellys run on the right and picked him out his superb shot from outside the box flew over Dan Rogers and dipped in at the far post. a second yellow card for Matieskiewicz on 63 mins for another challenge on Tommy Hull made it even harder for the home team to get back into the game with Callum heading onto the bar on 76 mins and Douglas unable to turn a loose ball in the third came direct from Paul Garretts corner on 85 mins, the ball bouncing in the box over Lee Allinson and in at the far post.

STOTFOLD 6 WELLINGBOROUGH TOWN 0
In the first 20 mins of this game the result, let alone scoreline, didn't look possible with the visitors having the better possession and chances with John Mitchell blazing a good chance in front of goal over the bar on 10 mins and Dan Grainger puting his low shot from the right wide shortly after. But after weathering the opening storm Stotfold struck first on 27 mins, Joel Mason making himself some room inside the 6 yd box and stooping to head in Paul Garretts corner at the near post. Mason played a big part in the second goal after he was put through on the left hand side of the box, his shot was blocked by Luke Dowling with Garrett picking up the rebound and curling it past keeper Alex Malong on 36 mins. Malong may have wished he stayed at home for the third goal on 46 mins after coming off his line for Lee Allinsons free kick from the halfway line Tawhid Juneja rose just inside the box and looped his header over the keeper and into the net to silence the visiting supporters. Wellingborough did push forward in the second half but looked no where near as threatening in the second half, sub Alfie Taylors pass to Brad Gillham from a corner the only half chance. Louis Lee should have got himself on the scoresheet after controling and taking Masons cross from the right into the box, but his good footwork only resulted in a dragged shot wide. A foul on Louis on 65 mins about 25 yds from goal allowed Lee Allinson to fire in the fourth, a superb curling kick into the top corner. The 5th goal was a solo effort for sub Ricky Case, a winding run from the right to the left hand side of the box then a shot back across goal into the top of the net. A clumsy challenge from Dan Grainger on Arin Fehmi in the last minute of the game allowed Allinson to grab his second tucking the ball in from the spot.

BOURNE 0 STOTFOLD 2
An early goal could have killed this game off and Paul Garrett was given a good chance 6 mins in, when put through on the left his shot was pushed up onto the crossbar by keeper Arran Bellairs. Joel Mason tried a chip from the edge of the box but put the ball wide with Luke Donnellys shot from the edge of the box being comfortably stopped by Bellairs. The home teams chances were limited to a couple of shots with John Curralls strike well held by Brad Gillham on 18 mins. 2 good chances near the end of the first half could have opened the scoring, Luke Donnellys flicked on header from a corner just skipped away from Tawhid Juneja at the far post on 38 mins and Mason with his back to goal had his shot on the turn blocked by Billy Sparks 2 mins later. Ricky Case came on at the end of the first half after Paul Bryant twisted his ankle pushing Luke Donnelly into defence for the rest of the match. A good 1-2 between Garrett and Louis Lee on the left at the start of the second half was delivered into the box but Ricky Case was just beaten to the ball by some good defending, Callum Donnelly also missed a good opportunity when Allinson sent him on his way down the right but his shot flew over the bar. Paul Garrett broke the deadlock after Joel Masons work down the right and ball into the box picked him out to stab the ball in past Arran Bellairs on 65 mins. Ricky Case should have effectively finished the game of 2 mins later when his good run into the box resulted in a poor shot wide, this missed chance was almost punished when Alex Robinson beat the back line but fired shooting wide of the target shortly after. Masons heavy touch from Garretts pass took the ball too close to the home keeper on 81 mins before Ricky Case sealed all 3 points on 89 mins his shot from Dan Douglas's cross from the left taking a slight deflection off Jason Gough.

Second half penalty 10 mins from time secures all 3 points in this closely fought match.
The first half was fired into action from the first minute when Paul Garrett won the ball closing down a clearance and passed to Joel Mason unmarked just inside the box, who after taking a touch shot straight at keeper James Jackson. A fierce shot from the right 8 mins later from Graham Thackery, curled away from the target and off the outside of the upright. Lee Allinsons ball forward set up Mason in the middle on 12 mins but his touch and low shot was again straight at the keeper. A clash followed by retaliation between Callum Donnelly and Dan Newman on the halfway line saw both sides reduced to 10 men. Referee Steve Beswick consulting with his linesman before issuing 2 straight red cards a quarter of an hour into the game. A good 15 minute spell from the home side followed with Tawhid Juneja and Tommy Hull both blocking shots in a goalmouth scramble, a good low stop from Brad Gillham to keep Dan Pilsworths stabbed shot from a freekick out and Jamie Blackwells header deflected onto the upright. Allinson put Garrett through on 35 mins only for him to shoot at the keeper with Allinson shortly after chesting Paul Donnellys cross down for Luke Donnelly to fire wide. Mason finished the half as he started, this time after working some space for a shot on the left he again found James Jackson blocking his shots path to the back of the net. The start of the second half saw a poor clearing header give Jamie Blackwell a shot at goal but his low shot was well held by Gillham. Some build up on the right teed up a shot for Scott Fielding to shoot wide and Gillhams feet denied Graham Thackerys shot from the right with Juneja blocking his overhead kick as he tried to follow it up. Tommy Hulls ball in was well chested down but volleyed over by Allinson on 63 mins and Brad Gillham saved any embarassment by punching clear Will Fordhams spilt shot before it could followed in. The deadlock was broken on 80 mins when Dan Pilsworths tackle halted Louis Lees run towards goal, Lee Allinson converting the penalty to join Paul Garrett on 19 league goals this season. The home teams final push only resulted in Scott Fieldings close range effort being blocked by Gillham secuing maximum points.

This 4th and final meeting between the 2 clubs was the closest of this season but again it finished in a Stotfold victory.
After chasing a ball forward Joel Mason won the ball from keeper Tom Kennard as he came to clear the ball outside his area but had his shot into an empty net blocked by Daniel O'Farrell on 10 mins. 2 mins later and a short free kick driven across the box by Lee Allinson was controlled and struck well by Mason but a good parry from Kennard forced the ball into the path of Allinson who volleyed into the side netting. Allinson made up for the miss shortly after, Masons well weighted ball through the middle allowing him to place the ball past the keeper on 14 mins. The visitors responded well with Shiblu Miah forcing a good low save from Brad Gillham and after Miah put a good cross in Craig Lanham draged his shot wide. Paul Garrett should have doubled the lead on the half hour after Masons cross from the right to the far post was side footed over the bar from close range. Two great saves from Gillham kept out Miah's strike on 36 mins and Lanham's free kick from inside the D after it was curled round the wall. An equally good stop at the other end by the keepers feet denied Garretts shot when he was put through just before half time. Although the second half was dominated by the home team, with Mason shooting at the keeper from the right, Callum Donnelly forcing a good parry wide with his shot through the box on 60 mins and Garretts curling free kick pushed wide, the lead couldn't be extended for a comfortable finish to the game.

HOLBEACH 0 STOTFOLD 4 The 10th successive League victory and the 100th league goal mark is passed at Carters Park.
Paul Garrett could have had the first goal 2 mins in when Lee Allinsons free kick dropped at his feet, but a poor connection with the ball made it a comfortable low save for Nick Conroy. The home keeper was almost made to pay for a poor clearance shortly after but Luke Donnelly lifted his strike high over the bar. Luke missed a better opportunity on 12 mins flicking Allinsons low ball into the box over the bar from 6 yds out. A low shot wide from Matthew Warfield on 20 mins was quickly followed by a good cross from Joel Mason on the byline that Nick Conroy palmed away from Luke Donnellys head. The opening goal came on 24 mins after Masons shot was deflected over for a corner Garretts kick was flicked in off the head of Allinson at the near post. The home team barely had time to reorganise when a minute later Masons ball through the middle put Louis Lee in to stab the ball under the keeper. Two chances near the end of the half could have brought Holbeach back into the game with Antonio Pascu, putting a free kick on the edge of the box well over the bar after Junejas foul, and a misjudged ball over the top put wide by Tommy Treacher when he had the goal in his sights. The Tigers half time team talk must have gone straight out of the window when Ricky Case was brought down twice in the box, the first challenge looking the more offensive, but referee Tony Sharrock blew up for the second and pointed to the spot allowing Allinson to fire in the 3rd goal a minute into the second half. The pressure continued througout the second half with Brad Gillham having very little to do, with Ricky Case unlucky not to have a goal when his shot came off the upright and along the goaline. The fourth goal came after a succession of corners Luke Donnellys header at the near post was blocked on the line, the ball then ricocheted off Donnelly and into the net on 67 mins. Louis Lee tried his luck with a low strike that was well held by the keeper on 88 mins with the last kick of the game coming from Omar Joof with a delayed challenge on Luke Donnelly bringing his second yellow card after an equally poor tackle on Paul Donnelly in the first half.

In the first couple of minutes the woodwork denied Joel Mason an opening goal after Garretts cross was cleared to him, with his low strike coming off the bottom of the upright and then keeper Rob Mackay palming away the following ball in. A big clearance from Mackay shortly after put Jamie Blackwell in behind the backline but the visiting forward volleyed wide. After a good spell of pressure from the visitors, with the only real threat coming from Scott Fieldings deflected shot that dipped onto the crossbar, Stotfold took the lead after Lee Allinsons free kick on the left missed its intended target and was knocked forward in the middle of the box for Luke Donnelly to slot the ball past the keeper on 34 mins. The first half finished with Barry Albone stooped to put a header wide of the near post from a free kick just in from the corner flag and Mason shooting over from close range after working and opening on the left. 3 good chances at the start of the second half should have extended the lead for Stotfold with Juneja shooting over at the far post after Mackay palmed a corner to him, followed by a great point blank save stopping Garrett turning in Masons cross from the left and Luke Donnelly striking over after Ricky Case teed the ball up for him. These misses were punished on 57 mins when a good ball in from the right was headed in at the far post by Jamie Blackwell running into the box. A Garrett strike from distance was well held on 66 mins with the winner coming on 74 mins, Blackwell again at the far post to side foot in a low ball across from the left. Despite the 2 substitutions the best chance for an equaliser came on 90 mins with a ball headed down to Allinson on the left his weak low shot was comfortably held by from the St. Ives keeper.

An exemplary all round performance bags all 3 points and sets up what could be the most exciting week in the clubs history. With the wind behind them in the first half Stotfold could easily have taken the lead in the first few minutes when Joel Masons header was cleared off the line by captain Ross Watson. Trevor Smiths blocked clearance from inside the box fell kindly to Mason who, despite his personal goal drought, squared the the ball for an unmarked Paul Garrett on the left for him to fire the ball past Ian Flavell on 8 mins. 2 mins later Dan Cotton beat the offside appeals on the right but his shot was straight at Brad Gillham. The second goal came on 27 mins after Paul Garretts corner was headed down by the unmarked Luke Donnelly. A minute later and the home team could have pulled one back from a free kick on the edge of box, Cotton first hitting the wall then sticking the rebound well wide. At the other end a good ball into the box from Louis Lee on the left was headed into the ground at the far post by Ricky Case, Flavell doing well to stretch and palm the ball over. Second half saw the home team have more possesion but failing to create any significant chances with Liam Harrold scuffing a low shot wide and Andy Boome heading over from a corner. Any chance of a comeback was snuffed out with the 3rd goal when Allinson broke down the right slipped the ball past the defender and crossed to Garrett, who was again not picked up and, stuck his shot under the Stones' keeper. This goal deflated the home side and Stotfold should have got another goal with Juneja's header from a free kick flicked over and Allinsons shot from distance and resulting corner cleared off the line. On Tuesday the first team are at home to Northampton Spencer with the FA's hearing into the St Ives match on Wednesday and then they are at home to Long Buckby on Saturday.

STOTFOLD 3 NORTHAMPTON SPENCER 2
Good pressure from the start brought about the first goal for Stotfold after a succession of corners and free kicks, Joel Masons shot was handled on 5 mins and Lee Allinson stepped up to fire in the penalty. A deflected ball across from the right fell to Ashley Bradshaw to put him clean through on goal, but Brad Gillham got down well to palm the ball away from his feet. A clumsy challenge on Bradshaw in the box put the visitors back on level terms when Kevin Slinn fired in from the spot on 15 mins. The lead however was restored 9 mins later when a ball driven across the face of goal by Mason was belted into the back of the net by Tawhid Juneja, with Ricky Case almost adding the third 10 mins later when his shot from close range was blocked on the line. Case set up the 3 Stotfold goal with a ball across from the right hand side of the box to the left for Mason to hit a curling shot first time into the far top corner of the net 2 mins into the second half. This 2 goal cushion was short lived when 4 mins later Ashley Bradshaw was put through on the left and cut the ball back for Steve Jelly to fire in the deflection and Brad's hand not enough to steer the ball wide. Bradshaws looping header was well palmed to safety by Gillham on 55 mins with the number 11 again causing problems heading a ball back across the face of goal shortly after. A strong finish from the home team should have brounght about another goal with Garrett and Allinson both having free kicks pushed wide by keeper Craig Neighbour and Mason and Allinson heading corners fractionally wide.
