9 Mar 2008: Grasshoppers 2:3 Crawley Devils March 10, 2008

Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a comment

By beating us, Crawley Devils went top of the league, so on paper perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised at the result.  But considering we totally outplayed them for two thirds of the game, you could well understand the disappointment of everyone after the match.

This performance underlined just how important confidence is to a team.  With three wins in the last four games, 13 goals scored and 4 conceded, we have developed a winning habit, together with the individual and collective confidence which comes with winning.  Crawley Panthers finished third in this league last year, but with a very similar squad this year, for whatever reason they have struggled much as we have.

This performance built on the excellent show put on by the bare 11 last week against

Worth

Park .  We finally seem to be hitting our stride and playing the way we know we can, with flair, confidence and commitment.

Worth Park 2 Uckfield Grasshoppers 5 February 18, 2008

This group of players never ceases to amaze me said Gordon Buckland manager after what can only be described as a completely disjointed unadventurous and lack luster performance last week this weeks performance was very committed ,honest, skilful and above all else played with passion. The Uckfield team only had a bare eleven and was soon down to ten in the second half (45th minute) when Ryan Gothard came off with a foot injury, of those missing three are regular starters but those coming in were determined to make it difficult for them to return automatically.

What a pleasure to be able to write a report about the team we had last year!  We have been threatening to put someone to the sword for a while and it finally all came together on Sunday against St Hill Blues.  We played as a team and overcame decent opponents in difficult conditions, with a mixture of skill and commitment which has been rarely seen this year.

This was always going to be a tough game against the top team, but for most of the game we did well and matched them in every part of the game.

This was the rematch of our first game of the season, when we didn’t exactly fire on all cylinders.  Haywards Heath have had some disciplinary problems this season, and it was easy to see why.  Some of the behaviour on show was choice and the use of Berstein’s Restrictive Code much in evidence.

This was most definitely a game of two halves.  In the first half, we created chances, worked hard and just about deserved our half time lead.  In the second half, we were insecure and hesitant and Burgess Hill looked like they could score at will.
