Anchor Chiefs v Northside Atlantic
League Match 03
Posted 01/09/2010
Well not the best of starts for the Chiefs, Northside scoring in the 9th minute from a set piece. Rest of the first half its was backwards and forwards with both teams having a few moments to score. Northside Keeper making 2 top draw saves in the first half keep the score line in favour of Northside. Then in the 43rd minute another set piece undone the Chiefs again. Half Time Score 0 - 2
2nd Half the Chiefs started well but again could not make any of their chances stick. It became an end to end game but with Northside out muscling and winning everything in the air it was never going to be the Chiefs night. Again a few chances either way with neither team scoring in the 2nd half.
Chiefs Manager " Fair play to Northside Atlantic this evening, they were worthy winners and I for one am not disappointed to lose to this team. Northside are a vast improvement to the side of last season and I take my hat off to them, They were stronger than we were and won 99% of everything in the air. We did not play the game how we were supposed too and was punished. Northside's keeper was outstanding and the 2 top draws saves kept their 3 points as it could have been a draw. Well done Northside and Great Effort Chiefs"
Full Time Score 0- 2
Anchor Chiefs v Bratton Flemming Res
League Match 02
Posted 25/08/2010
A great start with a goal from Birthday Boy Shaun Hastings in the 2nd minute. Few chances came and went before Ali Davidson opened his season account in the 22nd minute. Hastings bagged his 2nd goal in the 37th minute. Although Chiefs were winning we still was not playing how we should. Half Time Score 3 - 0
First 20 minutes started very sloppy with the Chiefs not taking the bull by the horn and finishing this game in style but in the 21st Minute Chiefs Left Back Mick Harrison opened his season account followed 8 minutes later with a fantasic strike from the edge of the area leaving the keeper no chance by Trevor May to open his account. We had finally started to play some decent football. Shaun Hastings then caped off his Birthday Hat-Trick in style with a goal in the 36th Minute but he still was not finished bagging his 4th 2 minutes later. Not the best performance by the Chiefs but we shown we can still put them goals away.
Chiefs Manager " Firstly well done Shaun for bagging 4 goals on his 26th Birthday and well done to Ali, Mick and Trevor for opening their Chiefs Scoring Account. We are very pleased to see a great result on the board and just as pleased to see we kept that clean sheet too. We shown we can play very good football but we need to stay switched on all the way through the game, Challenging for every ball and especially the 2nd balls. Well done lads another great result and 3 points in the bag"
Final Score 7 - 0 ( Shaun Hastings 2, 37, 81 & 83 Ali Davidson 22, Mick Harrison 66 & Trevor May 74)

Hartland Res v Anchor Chiefs
League Match 01
Posted 21/08/2010
Well its our first game of the season as a Saturday League team and we are away to Hartland Res. Everyone warned me what the conditions out at Hartland can be like and Oh Boy was they not wrong. The driving rain made this a very hard game for both teams to be fair. We started very well and pushed Hartland back straight from the whistle. Some good passing movements by the Chiefs then on 16 minutes Chiefs leading scorer from last season Shaun Hastings opened his account and within 6 minutes made it 2. In the 41st minute up popped 16 year old Chris Stockton hitting his 1st League goal off many for the young centre midfield player. A great first half under some seriously hard rain conditions. Half Time Score 0 - 3
Second half shown no let off with the rain but we kept battling few it. A blatant foul was waved away by the referee which caused us to switch of for a minute but that is all it took for Hartland to slip one in the net in the 18th Minute. A penalty call by Hartland paid off although we thought it was outside the box of a poorly marked pitch made worse by rain. A well stuck kick by hartland was well saved by Chiefs Keeper Mark Tattersall, his 6 foot 4 frame blocking the shot. Some very loose challenges came in and to be fair it was from both sides, nothing bad just poor conditions but it was not until the 39th minute when sub Brandon Neal-Reidy, another up and coming 16 year old, got himself involved in the game, the ball was in the back of the net, some confusion as to what happened but some say OG, we say Brandon's goal. Without doubt one of the worst conditions we have played in, especially with the driving rain.
Chiefs Manager Mick Tattersall "What a start to the season, rain and wind like I have never seen in a long time and certainly not when out playing football. Even in those conditions I felt we looked very strong and comfortable on the ball. 1 or 2 silly mistakes but the weather did not help. Individually and as a team, we could not have asked for a better performance. I would like to point out that we took 6 lads that were 16 year old, 4 started and 2 on the bench and with a mix of more experienced players, we did a great job today. Well done lads"
Final Score 1 - 4 (Shaun Hastings 16 & 21, Chris Stockton 41 & Brandon Neal-Reidy 84)

Great result for us against a team a division above us. We effectively played 25 players in total in that game and what a shock at half time to see a fresh 11 players warming up, but our fitness levels were very good and we played strong until the end. Well done lads
