The game started just like our last game which was also against Oakhill Tigers but was 4 weeks ago, the panthers were totally dominant in the first half attacking at will down both flanks with H Flesch running riot on the right wing but they didn't have their shooting boots on, Every time Oakhill pushed forward the defence stood strong won the ball back and passed their way up the pitch to mount another attack, but it wasn't until H Flesch was brought down in the box after another great run that the Panthers went ahead with D Farrell converting the penalty at the second attempt. They were unable to add anymore in the first half with A Gran not having to make a single save. The second half started much differently with Oakhill pressing forward for the equaliser and A Gran having to make 4 fantastic saves, but it wasn't long before the Panthers got the ball down and started passing their way out of trouble and a great cross by D Farrell was met at the far post by H Flesch to smash in. Oakhill kept pushing forward and were repelled time and again by the Defence and J Noyes rapped it up tapping in after another great move down the right. Final score 3-0, Man of the match was H Flesch but all the boys performed brilliantly this was our best all-round performance of the season.

You wouldn't of thought that the boys hadn't played for a couple of weeks as they totally dominated the first half against Oakhill who are 2nd in the league. Time after time H Flesch roasted both the midfielder and defender down the right wing putting in some great crosses and also great interplay with J Noyes, but it was a move down the left starting with D Farrell who put G Payne in down the wing who in turn fed J Noyes, his shot rebounded off the inside of the post and fell to H Flesch and he smashed it in to make it 1 nil. Then Against the run of play Oakhill scored on the break, this didn't stop the panthers as soon H Flesch got his second after another great run and they could easily had half a dozen more at half time but could only add 1 more from R Shodeinde . The second half was much closer as the panthers seemed to lose the confidence they had in the first half and Oakhill pulled 1 back. Still pushing forward and carving out chances in particular K Demetriou's shot went just wide and M Stanley's lob was kept out by the keepers fingertips, then with there last attack of the game Oakhill got the equaliser which was unfair on the boys as they were the better team in particular H Flesch and D Farrell who was man of the match with his outstanding defending.

Having had 3 tough cup games it was good to get back to playing a league game
and the panthers started well, controlling the game with H Flesch excelling on
the right of midfield but it was a through ball on left which J Noyes ran onto
and slotted past the on rushing keeper. They didn't keep the lead long after a
poor clearance was punished to make it 1 all, the panthers kept playing football
and a sweeping move was finished off by R Shodeinde made it 2-1, but again
Pinner levelled the score to make it 2-2 at half time. The Second half started
like the first with H Flesch attacking down the right and J Noyes a constant
threat up front, R Shodeinde was running the game and seemed to be everywhere
and it wasn't a surprise when he smacked in a great shot to make it 3-2. The
defending was much better in the second half and every time Pinner came forward
the were dispossessed and the panthers were on the attack again and it wasn't
long before R Shodeinde got his hat rick saving the best till last unleashing a
unstoppable volley into the roof of the goal. The panthers were in total control
and never looked in danger and were unlucky not to add to the score line, it was
a much improved performance by all the boys but in particular H Flesh and Man of
the match R Shodeinde.

The 3rd followed just before half time but in the second half they were a different team wining the ball and driving forward coming close on various occasions. They pulled one back from a fantastic free kick by R. Shodeinde and kept pressing right up to the final whistle but could not find the net. Man of the match was R Howard for the second week running .

The Panthers needed to transfer there cup form into the league, they started well with G Payne attacking down the right. The first half was very open with the play switching from end to end, A Gran made a couple of excellent saves especially when Gadeside's quick forward was through on goal he dived bravely at his feet to deny him a goal. Gadeside took the lead soon after but the Panthers didn't let there heads drop and were soon level when another move down the right saw R Shodeinde pick the ball up on the edge of the area and fire a shot into the top corner. The Panthers pressed for a second but were continually denied by Gadeside's keeper until a cross from D Farrell found its way through to inform J Noyes to slot in from close range to make 2-1 to the panthers at half time. In the second half it was the defence that showed great desire and passion to keep out gadeside, T May headed off the line to save a goal and D Farrell also blocked a goal bound shot. The Panthers also had there chances the best coming to H Flesch whose shot went just the wrong side of the post, they held out for a 2-1 victory with the defence playing excellently particularly man of the match B Gomm.

After the last couple of games it was important that the Panthers started well, they had watford youth on the back foot right from the start and when D. Farrell found himself with time out on the left, he delivered a great cross which was flicked on by P. Curran to G. Payne who was unmarked at the far post and he fired in from close range. The Panthers kept up the pressure and were nearly rewarded when H. Flesch hit a long range shot which the keeper managed to tip onto the crossbar and bounce down onto the line before being cleared. Just before half time G. Payne got his second goal after a goal kick by R. Shodeinde cleared everyone on the small pitch and he ran through to shoot past the keeper.
The second half started like the first with the Panthers running the game, they soon put the game beyond doubt with goals from H. Flesch, P. Curran, J. Noyes, M. Stanley, K. Demetriou and an own goal. It was a great all round performance by all the boys making man of the match a tuff choice, with G. Payne taking it with his 2 goals and great wing play.

Following on from the last 2 weeks performances the panthers gave their opponents no time on the ball and were soon in a commanding position after some fantastic inter play from the midfield and forward line and goals from H Flesch, R shodeinde and a first Goal for R Thompson. HMH couldn't get out of their half and 3 soon became 4 when R shodeinde scored his 2nd. J noyes came on and it wasn't long before his pace was troubling HMH and by half time he had netted twice and H Flesch another to make it 7-nil at half time. The second half started like the first with the Panthers pushing forward but they pushed to many players forward and were caught on the break and HMH pulled 1 back. This woke the Panthers up and after that the rest of the game was played in the HMH half with goals from T May ,G Payne, K Demetrio and P Curran making the final score 11-1, recording the Panthers Best ever score. It was a very one sided game in which the boys applied themselves from start to finish with last weeks MOM A Gran having very little to do and midfielder H Flesch Starring .

After a

keeper A. Gran the Panthers were 2 nil down at half time. The second half
performance was much better making it an even game, but as the boys pushed
forward to score they were caught on the break with a ball over the top of the
defence to make it 3 nil. They kept pushing forward trying to play football on a
terrible pitch and were rewarded when J. Noyes shot appeared to cross the line
only for the keeper to parry to the edge of the box and D. Petty drill a shot
into the bottom corner. Unfortunately the Panthers couldn't add to this and
Enfield added another before the end to make the final score 4-1. MOM was R.
