CHELMSFORD CITY F.C ELITE U13s  3 : 1 BUCKHURST HILL
E.L.S PREMIER LEAGUE
 
City's last game of the season, and although nothing to play for, its always nice to bow out with a win, and in the first 10 minutes they proved to their supporters thats exactly what they wanted to do by putting title chasing Hill under constant pressure. In the 12th minute they got the opening, Jack Nicholls volleyed home from the edge of the area, 1-0. City kept up the pressure with Hill only getting the odd chance, firstly a snap shot that Jack Calvin the City goal keeper managed to keep out and then against the run of play Hill equilised, 1-1. Just before half time Sam Little sent in a long shot that see the Hill goal keeper diving and pushing round the post and out for a corner.
HT 1-1
The second half carried on the same as the first with City having the bulk of the play but Hill looking dangerous on the break and keeping the City defence on their toes. In the 9th minute City won a corner and as the ball was cleared Alex Bowring hit the ball low and hard and although it did get a slight deflection it some how managed to go through all of the players and into the net, 2-1. Mid way through the half Tyler Robinson crossed and found Sam Little to tap home 3-1.Hill went all out to get back into the game and title race but apart from one attempted lob that George Bass the City goal keeper easily plucked out of the air, there was never any danger, in fact it was City that finished with a number of corners.
FT 3-1
I'm sure that Ian Fox the City manager drove home that night with mixed emotions, sad as it was his last game, but happy to see the lads put in a top draw performance.

CHELMSFORD CITY F.C ELITE U13s 1 : 2  REDBRIDGE
E.L.S LEAGUE CUP - SEMI FINAL

City travelled to Buckhurst Hill (neutral ground) to play Redbridge in the league cup semi final on a nice sunny evening. Redbridge started the game with some nice passing and movement and an early shot at goal to test the goal keepr, however as the game wore on City got alot more of the ball unfortunately this section of the game only produced one more shot, which was from City that the Redbridge goalkeeper comfortably watched go just past the post. Then on 18 minutes the game livened up, a long throw down the left found Sam Little who crossed the ball into the six yard box to find James Thomas to head home, while he cooly re arranged his hair the claret army started celebrating. The rest of the half produced no corners and only a couple of week shots from both teams with City going in at half time with a goal to the good.
HT 1-0
City knew they would be put under pressure and apart from City winning the first corner of the game on 2 minutes the first 25 minutes found Redbridge being very dominant, Redbridge got the equaliser in the 7th minute, 1-1. Redbridge won a free kick on the edge of the box however as the ball looked goal bound, Nick Robinson plucked it out of the air.Then, in the 20th minute disaster struck with some lack of comminication at the heart of the City defence and appeals for a foul, the Redbridge striker found the ball at his feet and calmly stroked the ball into the net to go 1-2 up.For the last 10 minutes City pushed hard for a goal, and in the last minute forced two corners and one long throw that see all the claret and white shirts in or around the box but it was not to be.
FT 1-2
In the pitch beside Snaresbrook beat Buckhurst Hill 2.0 to set up a Redbridge v Snaresbrook final.
