Story from Peterborough Today The curse of Cogenhoe struck again as Peterborough Northern Star saw their 100 per cent start to the new season came to an abrupt end. The Northamptonshire side took advantage of an error-strewn Star display to claim a 4-3 success at Chestnut Avenue in the United Counties League Premier League Premier Division today (September 1). Cogenhoe are becoming a frequent irritiation for the city side. They ruined a 19-match Star unbeaten run last season and returned today to bring a fine four-match winning streak to an end. But Star boss Jamie Weston insisted his players only had themselves to blame after some appalling defending gave the visitors a huge helping hand. Weston said: This was a real eye-opener after a good start to the season. It showed that we cannot expect to cruise through games when only performing at anywhere near our best for 20 minutes. And we certainly can't afford to make the sort of basic defensive errors we did today. They got punished in this game and will continue to get punished unless we cut them out. Midfield debutant Callum Reed announced his arrival from Wisbech Town with a goal and an assist for Star. Reed delivered the corner from which captain Wayne Morris headed Star ahead after 10 minutes but the goalscorer then conceded the penalty from which Cogenhoe levelled. Morris was left in a hopeless position by a suicidal pass from full-back Matt Cook inside his own penalty area but worse was to follow as Star conceded again inside three minutes. That's the way it stayed until a frantic spell just after the hour. Reed lashed Star level after a Nick Davey shot had been parried before substitute Denny Escorcio rifled in at the back post to make it 3-2. But the drama was far from over. Cogenhoe levelled with 20 minutes to go and then claimed maximum points from a needlessly conceded corner 10 minutes later as goalkeeper Nick Conroy was beaten for a fourth time during a miserable return to Star. Weston added: It looked like we had got ourselves out of jail in the second half but we quickly put ourselves back in trouble when we should have seen the game out. Admittedly Star weren't helped by the loss of influential midfielders Liam Hook and Adam Weston to injuries early in the second half. Both those players are now major doubts for a Tuesday night date against Deeping. Rangers warmed up for that derby showdown by claiming victory in another one at Yaxley. They did trail to an Ondre Odain goal but recovered to win 4-1 as Alex Beck stole the show with a hat-trick. Defender Simon Ashton hit the other goal. |

Cooks Land former Cobblers Hitman The Cooks are delighted to welcome former Northampton Town forward Courtney Herbert to Compton Park. Herbert joins the Cooks from Evo-Stik Southern League Premier side Banbury United where he has spent this season following his release from Northampton Town at the end of last season. Courtney joined Northampton Town from Long Buckby after a successful trial in September 2009, making his Football League debut away to Shrewsbury Town on 26th September 2009 and went on to make a total of 23 appearances that season for the Cobblers, of which 8 were in the starting 11, and scored 2 goals. Courtney made a further 15 league appearances last season, albeit all but one was as a substitute, though did not score and with playing opportunities limited he joined Conference side Cambridge United on loan in March 2011 Almost a year to the day Herbert was part of the Cobblers side who did the unthinkable and beat Liverpool in the Carling Cup Third Round at Anfield. Courney is a real handful for defenders with his pace and movement and were very pleased he's decided to join us here at Cogenhoe as we build on our recent run of results. |

Cooks well beaten in first friendly With manager Andy Marks away on holiday the Cooks were left in the charge of Assistants Mick Donnelly and James Alger for our opening pre-season fixture. The Cooks welcomed Leighton Town FC to Compton Park on Tuesday and were promptly made aware that there needs to be a massive improvement before the season starts. Our visitors were hungrier and worked twice as hard throughout the game and that was clearly reflected in the full time score. But it was the number of individual errors that eventually was our undoing in a humbling 6-0 home defeat. The Cooks started the game with almost the same team that finished last season but with the exception of a makeshift defensive duo of recent recruits Bobby Leah and Robbie Bushell who both were out run by the lively front two of Leighton Town. There were plenty of cobwebs out there as touches were poor and the Cooks could not keep control of the ball and gave away possession far to many times in the opening encounters, putting ourselves on the back foot and we soon found ourselves 1-0 down after Keeper Anthony O'Connor could only punch away a cross as far as the edge of the area and Neil Lazarus drove his header home into an empty net. By half time the score line was 3-0 to our visitors as again slack marking and the inability to clear our lines gifted the reds two more goals. The second half saw an almost entirely different team play as Alger and Donno rang the changes in order for them to see some of the trialists on offer but there was little improvement as again our visitors pressed on. Returning keeper George McClellan was lobbed from 20 yards for the reds fourth and was left rooted to the spot as a cracking free kick made the score 5-0, to compound his nightmare of a night he was beaten from a close range header following good work from Leighton's right winger whipping in a cross for one of their substitutes to nod home. One of the only positives was an appearance for Kieran Tarry at right back, the young full back who has come out of the Rushden & Diamonds academy looked assured and in 30 minutes showed more drive and determination than we had showed in the whole game, linking up well with Dan Thomason on the right flank and forcing Leighton's backline to turn. The Cooks have to pick themselves up now as we face another tough game on Thursday night against a Histon XI and then on Saturday a double header away to Burton Park Wanderers. |

One in one out for the Cooks Cogenhoe manager Andy Marks has been busy in the transfer market this week as he looks to strengthen his Cogenhoe outfit for our two up coming Semi-Finals and league run in. Following Jamie Wrights departure to near neighbours Irchester United this week Marks was quick to fill the gap by adding Matt Gearing to the Cooks line up. The former Northampton Town youngster is equally as comfortable wide right as he is upfront and Marks believes Gearing is just what the Cooks are looking for. Marks said "Matty is a quick winger who's come to us after playing in the Zamaretto Premier for Rugby Town, hes been schooled well from Northampton and were lucky to have him at Cogenhoe" he added "Matty is the perfect fit for us as hes got pace and can deliver a great cross from the wing, that's something we have been missing and hopefully he will gel well with our young squad and move us onwards and upwards" Matt started his footballing career at Northampton Town and spent time out on loan to Aldershot Town in the Conference and had further Southern League experience with Bedford Town, Rugby Town & Hemel Hempstead Town. Matt will go straight into Saturdays squad and will face an Irchester team looking to put right their 4-2 loss to St Ives last weekend |

Buckingham Charity Cup Banbury United 4 Cogenhoe United 4 Tuesday, 14 December 2010 Cogenhoe claimed the scalp of holders Banbury in a penalty shootout after an exciring encounter. Alfie Taylor's 23rd minute goal had Cogenhoe ahead at the break. A Liam Hynes double after 79 and 81 minutes nudged the Zamaretto Premier side in front but with a minute remaining Elliott Sandy levelled for the Cooks. Jed Ainge gave the visitors the lead two minutes into extra time , firing home from 20 yards, and Taylor's second goal of the night after 108 minutes put Cogenhoe in charge. Banbury fought back and a double strike from Malachi Farquharson after 115 and 118 minutes took the tie to penalties. In the shootout Danny Frid, Lewis Leslie, Taylor and Sam Heavey all scored their kicks. For Banbury Joe Coleman and Ben Naylor netted but Hynes missed their second kick and the fourth from Farquharson was saved by George McClellan. Cogenhoe: George McClellan, Dan Thomason, Damon Herbert (Jamie Wright), Jed Ainge, Dan Chilton, Danny Frid, Elliott Sandy, Tom McGowan (Sam Heavey), Karl Bates, Alfie Taylor, Dustin Fitzgerald (Lewis Leslie). |

Cooks Maintain Unbeaten Run The Cooks maintained their unbeaten start to the 2010/11 season with a comprehensive 5-1 away win over Rothwell Corinthians Tuesday night. The Cooks started brightly and could have been in front within the first two minutes after good work from wide man Steve Blackwood opened up an opportunity for Karl Bates to fire a shot past the advancing Corinths keeper only to see his effort hacked off the line by a last ditch defensive tackle. Two minutes later the Cooks opened the scoring. Steve Blackwood who was a threat all game was hauled down on the right hand side of the area, where Jamie Wright swung in the free kick to Damon Herbert who tapped home off the far post. The Cooks continued to press home their advantage and created numerous opportunities failing to add to their lead as a result of some gritty defending. The first half saw the hosts restricted to only half chances and George McLelland was rarely troubled in goal. The second half continued in the same vain with the Cooks reverting to their passing game. A second goal looked on the cards and in the 74th minute Alfie Taylor latched on to a Steve Blackwood cross and coolly found the net. This seemed to deflate Corinthians and following the introduction of substitutes Sam Heavey, Dan Thomason and Joey Evans three further goals came in the last 15 minutes. A fierce shot from Karl Bates gave the keeper no chance, a far post tap in from Steve Blackwood and a scrambled effort from Joey Evans completed the scoring. Corinthians did get a consolation goal when a handling error from the largely redundant George McClellan resulted in an easy tap in. The hosts were also denied what looked a clear penalty and probably summed up their night. A good result for the Cooks who now take on St Ives Town on Saturday in the Extra Preliminary round of the FA Cup.

Cooks Shock Cross Town Rivals The Cooks wrapped up their pre-season campaign with a convincing 2-1 victory over Zamaretto Premier side Brackley Town at Compton Park. The Cooks were again struggling with injuries with Dean Lukeman, new signing Mark Hewitt, Jamie Wright, Scott Goodacre and Steve Blackwood all missing out while there was more positive news as Dan Thomason returned to the fold after missing the whole of pre-season through injury. While our visitors showed us a great deal of respect by fielding their entire first team squad which included former football league players, Steve Basham, Chris Wilmott, Marcus Bignall, Simon Travis, Michael Blackwood, and Francis Green. In a very similar game to Bedworth last week the visitors sprung out of the blocks and took the game to the Cooks, looking to dictate their authority on the game and look to take an early lead. Their speed and dive took the Cooks by surprise and it took some time for Andy Marks men to get into the game. Once settled the Cooks re-grouped and started to play some really neat football and outworked our visitors. Wes Emery opened the scoring for the Cooks darting into the box and slotting home a left footed shot past the flailing Brackley keeper. The Cooks then doubled the lead just before halftime when new signing Dan Chilton found himself unmarked from a corner and powered his header past the stunned Brackley backline. The second half was much the same affair with the Cooks outworking the Saints and restricting them to very few opportunities of note. The score remained 2-0 until injury time where our visitors did manage an effort on target and Jon Challinor nodded home from close range. Another really positive display from the Cooks and a result that very few would of picked before kick off looking at the two sides that lined up. |

Another Spirited Performance See's The Cooks Beat Higher Grade Opposition Tuesday evening saw the visit of Zamaretto Central side Bedworth United to Compton Park in our penultimate pre-season game leading up to the start of the 2010/11 season. New manager Andy Marks had a few selection headaches ahead of this game as he was missing upwards of 7 players unavailable through injury but his makeshift side including a South African trialist worked wonders in an impressive 1-0 win over Bedworth United. After some early Bedworth pressure the Cooks slowly got into the game and started to get behind the Bedworth backline. It wasn't long before the pace of Blackwood caused problems for the back four of Bedworth and he was hauled down for a spot kick, which on form frontman Alfie Taylor dispatched with some force to send the Cooks into a well deserved first half lead. Further chances fell to Blackwood, Karl Bates and Wes Emery before half time but the score remained 1-0 to the Cooks. The second half saw Bedworth again start the half brightly but hardly make our goal keeper make a save in the 90 minutes. Another improved performance from the Cooks although Brackley will prove much tougher opposition this Saturday at Compton Park. Team Trialist Jed Ainge (Joe Rich) Damon Herbert Daniel Chilton Trialist (Lee Gotch) Dan Burke (Joe Evans) Lewis Leslie Steve Blackwood Wes Emery Alfie Taylor Karl Bates (Sam Hevey) |

Cooks Power Past Langford A new look Cogenhoe outfit powered to a 4-1 home win over Langford on Saturday. New manager Andy Marks fielded a strong looking starting XI as he looked to build on our midweek victory over Whitworths. Although his preparations were hampered by midfielder Scott Goodacre not making it through the warm up and Jamie Wright & a trialist both pulling up injured after only 5 minutes. None the less the Cooks made their attacking intent by starting with a 4-3-3 formation with Karl Bates, Alfie Taylor & Damon Herbert starting up top for the Cooks, and that paid dividends as all three of the forwards chipped in with goals in a comfortable victory for Andy Marks men. Karl Bates opened the scoring for the Cooks with a 25 yard volley that thundered past the Langford keeper early on and then Damon Herbert doubled the lead with a volley of his own from inside the area. Bates then made it 3-0 following a corner from the left and Alfie Taylor continued his goal scoring touch in front of goal in the second half. George McClellan played extremely well again in goal saving a well struck spot kick follow a dubiously awarded penalty decision late on. All in all it was a good work out for the Cooks who now entertain higher opposition in their final two pre-season friendlies, Tuesday (27th July) see's the Cooks face Zamaretto Midlands side Bedworth United in a 7.45pm kick off and on Saturday (31st July) the Cooks face Zamaretto Premier Brackley Town again here at Compton Park with a 3.00pm kick off. Team: George McClellan Jed Ainge Dan Chilton (Lewis Leslie) Trialist (Gotch) Jamie Wright (Lukeman) Dan Burke Trialist Wes Emery Damon Herbert (Steve Blackwood) Karl Bates Alfie Taylor Saturday also saw the Cooks Reserves take on Alconbury FC in their first pre-season game of the 20010/11 season. New look management duo of James Alger & Lloyd Conlon saw their side come away with a comfortable 3-0 away win over the Peterborough League Premier Division side. |

Cogenhoe United have unveiled Andy Marks as their new manager. The 28 year old becomes the youngest boss in the Premier Division. Nonetheless he has plenty of managerial experience under his belt already, joining the Cooks after three years at the helm of ON Chenecks who he led to their first ever Northants Junior Cup triumph last year along with back to back top four finishes in Division One. Club chairman Derek Wright commented "Andy made a big impression with the club in an interview three years ago when he applied for the manager's position when Darren Collins was appointed. We asked him to go and get some experience and come and see us again and true to his word he was one of the first to apply for the position. Andy's local knowledge of players is second to none and he has tremendous enthusiasm for the game. We are delighted at our capture. Andy knows he is joining a very well run club and is excited at being given the chance to make the step up at Cogenhoe, a club he has long held ambitions to manage." |

Leading marksman Alfie Taylor took his season's tally to twenty with the first two goals after seven and nineteen minutes. A 25th minute Dan Burke effort had the outcome all but settled. Ben Baines outjumped the Corinthians defence and steered his powerful header just inside the post to complete the win Cogenhoe: George McClellan, Luke Pritchard, Jamie Russell, Dan Burke, Danny Frid, Lee Gotch, Dan Thomason (Dean Lukeman), Wes Emery (Scott Goodacre), Ben Baines, Alfie Taylor, Damon Herbert. |

Youngsters lead the way in Cooks fight back A second half fight back from the Cooks saw us claim an impressive 1-1 home draw with Southern League Premier outfit Brackley Town last night. The Cooks started the game playing 3-5-2 with pretty much a regular team line up bar Tom McGowan who was unavailable so Wes Emery filled the breach in midfield and had an excellent game. The Cooks started with George McClellan in goal, three centre halves of Nick Ashby, Danny Frid who was again impressive and Lee Gotch, two wing backs of Danny Thomason and Jamie Russell, a midfield trio of Jed Ainge, Dan Burke and Wes Emery, while new signing Karl Bates partnered Alfie Taylor upfront. The Cooks fell behind to an early Jamie Kearns strike and looked as if they were struggling against the pace and movement of our higher grade opposition. But the Cooks quickly settled and played some neat football and quickly got back into the game. Alfie Taylor spurned the Cooks best chance of the half when he fired over from inside the area. After halftime Darren Collins switched his Cooks line up around reverting back to our usual 4-4-2 formation with Jamie Wright at Left back, midfield man Jed Ainge at right back and Lee Gotch and Danny Frid in the centre, a midfield quartet of Damon Herbert, Wes Emery, Carl Jays Jnr and youth team graduate Danny Mortimer, while upfront was the Under 18 strike force of Dustin Fitzgerald and Sean Nicholson who both proved again that they are on the doorstep of a first team call up after causing major headaches to the Brackley backline. The Cooks dominated the second half with Damon Herbert on the right causing problems to the Brackley left back all half. But it was Daniel Mortimer on the left who undid the Brackley backline as has drilled cross from the left was turned into his own net by one of the Saints centre backs. Lewis Leslie replaced Wes Emery for his first team debut and did extremely well against a well drilled Saints midfield. Darren was extremely pleased with how the game went and was equally impressed with the players who are making strides in the reserves and looking for a first team call ups. |

Cooks Under 18's News Cogenhoe Uniteds Under 18s host Brackley Town tomorrow night (Wednesday 16th December) here at Compton Park with a 7.45pm kick off. This season the Cooks have already made two trips over to St James Park once on the opening week of the Senior Youth league season where we ran out 6-1 away winners thanks to debut strikes from Ashley Buchanan (1) Duston Fitzgerald (2) and a hatrick from the returning Sean Nicholson, which saw a blistering start to the Cooks league campaign. Both sides were then draw against each other in the first round of the league KO Cup last month, and it was the Cooks who again ran out winners, this time a 2-1 win saw the Cooks progress although that game was a lot tougher test than the opening game of the season so tomorrow nights game should be a real test of the Under18s metal. We hope you can join us for the game as we really do have a special Under 18s side this season, Jon Wright & James Alger have produced a side of real quality that like to play football in the right way. The team are looking to make it 11 wins from 11 league games. Please note that tomorrow nights match is subject to a pitch inspection as we await further poor weather overnight. |

Cooks hold out for 0-0 draw with table toppers Despite a barrage of late pressure the Cooks held on for a 0-0 home draw with top of the table St Neots Town on Saturday. Darren kept with the same side who beat Bourne Town last weekend with Nick Ashby & Danny Frid maintaining their places in the centre of defence allowing Ben Baines to partner top scorer Alfie Taylor up front. Match Report St Neots extended their unbeaten run to nine games, but missed the chance to open up a four point lead at the top of the Premier Division. They are two points clear of Daventry Town who have six matches in hand. Cogenhoe were close to taking an early lead when Luke McShane tipped a dipping Jamie Wright free kick over the bar. Michael Hyem rescued the Saints with a goalline clearance after McShane was beaten by a clearance from opposite number George McLellan. St Neots had the better of the second half with McLellan making the save of the match from a Rob Hughes volley and Josh Sozzo and Lim Harrold missing good openings.

Free scoring youth team; make it 8 out of 8 After the half term break the youth team re-grouped for this close encounter with a side they had beaten just 2 weeks earlier. Cranfield came into the game on the back of huge win to fellow league contenders Kempston and it was going to be clear they wanted to beat us after suffering the loss in our last game. The cooks came into the game with a fully strength side with the exception of left back Ellis Stockport who wasn't available due to illness. The game began at a frantic pace with Cranfield clearly setting the standards with there slick passing and wanting to create chances. Although with most of the possession it wasn't until 15 mins that George had to make his first save of the night. Again the half continued as the previous game did, plenty of fair tackles and some very neat inter play between both sets of players. The cooks did create there own fair share of chances with Dustin coming close and Jordan Richards forcing a couple of smart saves from the visiting keeper. On 30 mins, Cogenhoe drew 1st blood as they have done all season; a corner whipped in by Liam Tuck was headed in by the Cranfield centre half. 1-0. shortly after the cooks had another chance, the ever present George Barrett launched a throwing into the box which Cranfield failed to clear and the returning Sean Odonovan scored a tap In to make it 2-0. Cogenhoe then took the game to Cranfield but failed to increase there lead. And with the last 10 mins of the half left to play Cranfield counter attacked and somehow let a player take of 5 people before coolly smashing his shot into the bottom corner. 2-1...game on. Half time 2-1 After our poorest performance of the year it was clear we needed to up our game if we were going to remain in front and go on to win the game. With resilient defending and more fluent attacking play it was a much needed improvement to the first half, however after 10 minutes of the re start the Cranfield left winger flew past Tom Nicolson and was then bought down. Penalty to cranfiled. This was then scored Like the last game the scores became 2-2. Cranfield then had the momentum and began to load the box at every occasion and again George made another great save to keep the cooks in the game, after a 15 minute spell of both sides cancelling each other it was centre forward Dustin Fitzgerald who was able to use his strength and skill in the box and smash a volley home to the delight of the players and management, 3-2 cooks. From this point the Cognehoe boys didn't look back.. The introduction of Joe Jessop in place of Sean Odonovan on the right proved significant. Having not played due to injury Joe injected some pace down the right side and looked as sharp as ever. With 10 minutes left Lewis Lesley received the ball outside the box, cut in and unleashed a shot that came in off the bar..4-2 Cogenhoe. Liam tuck was then replaced for Lewis Thomas Now winning 4-2 the cooks still weren't finished. With minutes to play and cooks in full control another chance created fell to substitute Joe Jessop who like Lewis, struck a great shot and rippled the night. The celebrations began. 5-2 2 red cards at the end of the game did hamper proceedings, however the Cogenhoe Youth lads didn't let this affect them and were grateful for another massive 3 points as they look to better themselves from last years league position. Team George McLennan, Tom Nicolson, Alex Lowry, George Barrett, Dean Lukeman, Sean O Donovan, Liam Tuck, Lewis Lesley, Matty Ravine, Jordan Richards, Dustin Fitzgerald Subs Ashley Buchanan, Joe Jessop, Lewis Thomas, Sean Nicolson Next week see's last years champions Sileby visit Compton Park (wed 11th November) |

Cooks maintain 100% record Cogenhoe Uniteds Under 18s maintained their 100% record in the senior youth league last night with a comfortable 3-0 home win over Buckingham Town. In an even first half the Cooks took the lead through top scorer Sean Nicholson following a parry from the Robins keeper. The Cooks then created some great chances to double their lead before half time but were thwarted by Buckinghams back line. The second half was much more one sided affair and it wasnt long before the young Cooks made it 2-0, Sean Nicholson tapped in his second of the night from a rebounded Dustin Fitzgerald effort from close range and then it was Fitzgerald who made it 3-0 thanks to a great finish from an acute angle. There was a cameo appearance in the second half from new signing Jordan Richards, the lively frontman looks to be a real capture for Jon & Alger and caused the tiring Robins centre halves plenty of trouble, Richards had two great chances to net on his debut but was thwarted by Buckinghams keeper when he went through one on one and then his cleaver chip went just over from 25 yards in the final minute. Both Sean Nicholson and Dustin Fitzgerald have now netted an impressive 19 goals between them in just 5 games. Sean is now on 10 and Dustin is one behind with 9 both strikers look set to fight it out for the Senior Youth Leagues Top Goal Scorer Trophy which in previous years has been held by Conference North player and former Cooks frontman Steve Diggin. Following last nights result there are two other sides on a 100% record in the West Division of the Senior Youth League, Both Cranfield and Kempston are looking strong and should push the Cooks all the way this season. Team George McClellan Tom Nicholson Ellis Stockport George Barrett Alex Lowrey Liam Tuck Ashley Buchanan Lewis Leslie Dustin Fitzgerald Sean Nicholson Mathew Revine Subs Dean Lukeman Jordan Richards Jordan Goldswain Lewis Thomas Sean O Donovan |

Cooks Leave it late but make it two out of two Despite another thunderous start to the game the Cooks struggled to breakdown a resolute and regimented Rushden & Higham back line at Compton Park last night. The Cooks dominated proceedings thought the game and home keeper George McClellan was only called into action once in the 90 minutes. Early Cooks pressure resulted in Dean Lukemans shot rebounding off the post and wide from the left hand side after a neat through ball from front man Sean Nicholson. But it was midfield man Liam Tuck who got the ball rolling for young Cooks after 8 minutes, following a clearance from a corner Liam rattled an unstoppable half volley from 20 yards into the top left hand corner giving the Rushden & Higham keeper no chance. The scores were level on 19 minutes when Rushden & Higham were awarded a free kick on the edge of the area, Jacob Hendrickson duly despatched the free kick with a powerful drive that crashed in off George McClellans left hand post. The second half saw wave after wave of Cooks attacks with Dustin Fitzgerald seeing his cross shot come back off the Rushden & Higham post and Dean Lukemans looping effort landing on the roof of the net. But it wasnt until the 89th minute before the Cooks got the all important breakthrough when Dustin Fitzgerald had his legs taken from under him in the area and the Cooks were rewarded with a penalty. In form front man Sean Nicholson stepped up and fired the Cooks infront and took the wind out of Rushden & Highams sails. An injury time strike from Dustin Fitzgerald wrapped up the points from the Cooks in injury time. George McClellan Jordan Goldswain Ellis Stockport George Barrett Alex Lowrey Mathew Revine Ashley Buchanan Liam Tuck Dustin Fitzgerald Sean Nicholson Dean Lukeman Subs: Tom Nicholson (Mathew Revine) Luke Robinson (Ashley Buchanan) Leon Gavin |

Cooks make dream start Cogenhoe United Under 18s made to a dream start to their 20090/10 Senior Youth League season with a resounding 6-1 away win at Brackley Town on Wednesday Night. The Cooks were without defender Sean ODonovan, midfielders Todd Jenner, Lewis Leslie and first teamer Dean Lukeman for the Brackley clash but Jon Wright & James Algers men flew into a 5-0 half time lead. Dustin Fitzgerald opened the scoring after only 4 minutes tapping in from close range following Alex Lowreys header crashing off the crossbar from a corner. Six minutes later fellow front man Sean Nicholson volleyed in from 12 yards as the Cooks stomped their authority on proceedings. On the half hour striker Sean Nicholson doubled his tally on the night and sent the young Cooks 3-0 up with a low powerful drive from 20 yards which gave the home keeper no chance. Things got worse for the young Saints as on 34 minutes following some great interplay down the left wing between Mathew Revine and full back Ellis Stockport it was Stockport who drove in a low cross for Fitzgerald to fire home his second of the evening making it 4-0, a minute later Mathew Revine produced a neat finish for the Cooks 5th following a fumble from the Brackley stopper. The second half was a much more subdued affair with Brackley looking to salvage some respect following their 1st half collapse, and duly responded by calling the Cooks keeper George McClellan into a string of fine saves through the second period. Although it was the Cooks who extended their lead even further with forward Sean Nicholson heading in for his hatrick and sending the Cooks 6-0 in front. The game ended 6-1 following a late Brackley strike but the hard work had already been done and the Cooks now sit at the top of the Senior Youth League following the 1st round of games. Team: George McClellan Jordan Goldswain Ellis Stockport George Barrett Alex Lowrey Joe Jessup Ashley Buchanan Liam Tuck Dustin Fitzgerald Sean Nicholson Mathew Revine Subs: Tom Nicholson (Jordan Goldswain) Luke Robinson (Ashley Buchanan) Leon Gavin |

1st Team & Reserves have midweek Wins Both Cogenhoe's 1st team and Reserves had wins on Tuesday night to set them up for their first league games of the 2009/10 season. The 1st team ran out 1-0 home winners over Thrapston on Tuesday night thanks to a solitary strike from front man Dan Holman. After that first half goal it looked like the flood gates would open as the Cooks dominated but were thwarted by Thrapston's back line all evening. Following the game the Cooks signed on Ben Baines from Wootton Blue Cross. Baines was Wootton's top goal scorer last term and has impressed Darren Collins enough over pre season with his work ethic and determination to sign the lively front man on for the 2009/10 campaign. Following on from the reserves two impressive victories over Roade and Friar Lane & Epworth Reserves, Mick Nash's lads travelled to Rushden & Higham and came away with another impressive 7-1 win. The Cooks scorers were Sean Nicholson (2), Ozzy Njai (2), Luke Norry (2) and another spectacular goal from Ashley Simpson. |

Cogenhoe Res 8 v 3 Roade The Cooks reserve team opened up their preseason account with an impressive 8-3 home victory over Roade FC last night. The result was really was a true reflection of the game with the young Cogenhoe side out working their cross town rivals and were 4-1 up at the break. Roade have played two UCL Division one sides in preseason so far loosing 1-0 away at Whitworths and more recently a 2-1 loss against Rushden & Higham, so to put our result against theirs it shows how well our lads have come on from last season and hopefully will be a sign of things to come. Ashley Simpson opened the scoring and a Josh Melling penalty soon made it 2-0. The Cooks then stretched their lead even further when front man Sean Nicholson rounded the helpless Roade keeper to slot home his first goal of the campaign. A defensive laps let in McGaffery for Roade's first but parity was restored when debutant Lewis Leslie fired home an unstoppable free kick just before the break. The second half then saw strikes from Ozzy Njai, Joe Jessup, Dustin Fitzgerald and wide man Dan Brockwell while there were consolation goals from Ellis and Cowley from a shocked Roade side. Cooks team: George McClellan Liam Clarke Jason Rose Josh Melling (Capt) George Barrett Adam Goodacre Ashley Simpson Lewis Leslie Damon Herbert Sean Nicholson Ozzy Njai Subs From: Jez McGowan Dan Brockwell Lloyd Conlon Dustin Fitzgerald Joe Jessup Carl Jays Jnr Tom Nicholson Wayne Earl |

Just a dozen ever presents in 2008-09 It seems to be getting harder for players to complete ever present campaigns for their clubs by the season, with just a dozen players boasting 100% records in domestic football for their clubs during the 2008-09 campaign. Just one club had more than one ever present player in their side – Premier Division outfit Blackstones who had goalkeeper Ian Flavell, defender Richard Jones and midfielder Matty Doyle in all 44 League and League Knockout Cup line ups during the season. Stewarts & Lloyds defender Paul Malone was ever present in the Corby club’s 46 domestic matches, Rob Tapp featured in all 43 Newport Pagnell outings while there was a maximum 42 appearances for Boston Town’s goalscoring midfielder Paul Goodhand and Daventry Town goalkeeper Joe Mellings. Completing the eight top flight ever presents was Matt Holland with 41 appearances for Yaxley. Despite the reduced level of matches played Division One had just four ever presents in domestic football. Peterborough Northern Star midfielder Chris Garwell made 33 league and Knockout Cup appearances for the lower grade champions, while the only ever present goalkeeper was Eynesbury’s Dave Beeny with 32 appearances, a tally matched by Sileby front runner Lewis Haycock. The last maximum man in the division was Ben Baines of Wootton with 31 appearances. A handful of additional players appeared in all of their club’s league games, but missed some Knockout Cup action. The Premier Division’s joint leading goalscorer Ryan Semple of Deeping lined up in all 40 of Rangers’ Premier Division matches but missed out on their solitary cup game, while Stewarts & Lloyds midfielder Mark Forbes played all 40 of the Foundrymen’s matches in their title campaign but was an absentee for two of their six Knockout Cup tie. Ian Edge featured in all of Peterborough Northern Star’s thirty Division One matches but only lined up in two of their three cup ties. There were no ever presents in domestic football at reserve level but Bourne defender Tom Cardall featured in all 32 league games for the Wakes second string only to miss one of their two Reserve Knockout Cup matches. |

Keeble Ends Speculation about his Future Shaun Keeble has ended speculation about his future by confirming that he will be Eagle Bitter United Counties League Premier Division club Holbeach United's manager next season. The long-serving player boss had hinted that he was prepared to step aside following a disappointing season. But following a meeting with the Tigers' committee, Keble (pictured) has stated that he is still the best man for the job - and is already looking forward to his sixth season in the hot seat. He said: "Two people approached me about taking over my role, and I must admit that I was open to the idea. "I took the proposal to the committee, who told me that they were happy with whatever decision I came to. "But after a lot of thought, I didn't feel it was the right time to leave. "It was never a case of me wanting to quit and nobody here was putting pressure on me to step aside." One of the contenders to succeed Keeble was the Tigers` chief scout John Chand, who is highly thought of at Carter's Park. The former Bourne Town assistant boss has a wealth of contacts in the UCL, and is tipped by many to be a success as a future number one. Keeble subscribes to that theory, but feels the club needs stability ahead of what promises to be a tough season for a host of teams in the division. Keeble added: "John was keen on the role and I'm sure he'd do a good job. "We're definitely keeping him on as our chief scout. "I wouldn't want to drop anybody in at the deep end though, next season is going to be a tricky one financially. "A lot of clubs will feel the pinch and stability is crucial." With that in mind, the Tigers supremo has already spoken individually to all of his players and staff about what lies ahead. Phil Barnes and club captain Dean Elston will continue in the roles on the management team, while Keeble is hopeful that he will hang on to the majority of his squad. He continued: "A lot of the lads seem keen to stay. "I asked them what they want from me and the club next season, and the feedback was positive. "Obviously one or two may decide to move on which is normal, but we'll also be adding to the squad." |
