Grangetown 2 - 7 Velocity The Royalty

What a beautiful day, 7-2 and our first win of the season. We started strong , an absolute peach by Andy McIntyre from the edge to the top right corner to open the scoring and was doubled by the one and only Jack Murphy. Harry Woodward flicked the ball back to Murphy who headed the ball off the crossbar to distract the goalkeeper and then slotted home.

The game stayed at 2-0 for the rest of the half, with Grangetown getting chances. Woodward couldn’t ‘do nowt’ all first half. Velo should’ve scored more in the first half, murphy never pulling the ball back for Bannister didn’t help. Danny cairns nearly scored his first goal for the velo with a rocket heading in the top corner, but it was deflected.

Second half started very well, Wayne Haley scored the third with a very composed finish after great build up play in midfield. Woodward then made it 4-0 , saving his sofascore rating, but then shortly after, brought it back down after missing from 2 yards.

The back line were solid throughout the game, baba smillie and Cam looked like a pair of Van Dijks. Bannister went off injured and then gave captaincy to Ryan Abba, who spoke more in the 90 minutes than anyone.

Haley scored his second of the game before Murphy scored his, making it 6-0, a well timed run into the box, slotted it past the last defender on the line. Then proceeding to Shamelessly run to the camera.

Haley scored his third of the game after Grangetown made it 6-1, cutting in from the left wing curling into the far right corner. Game finished 7-2.

Highlight of the game was Joe Harland running onto the ball, on the edge of the box, with the whole bench screaming ‘SHOOT’ but sliced it out for a throw in.

Great win on a cold morning. Up the velo!

Velocity The Royalty 2 - 3 Washington AFC

A tough one to take tonight, but a lot of good run outs for lads and a few new faces trying out gives us a lot of options should they fancy a new challenge this season.

1st half was very tight with both teams having chances, but we probably had the better of them. Ended 0-0.

2nd half we made a lot of changes and gave some new lads a run out and rested some tired legs from Sundays match. They took the lead through a big punt forward off their keeper which we didn't read, we equalised quickly with Jack 'Irish' Murphy having hit the keeper with a shot, the rebound hit him and trickled in, 1-1.

We went 2-1 up with a penalty nicely slotted home by Alpine. Again another lump forward, their forward gambled, it hit Hutchy in goal and bounced straight back at his feet to slot home in an empty net, 2-2.

We then survived a penalty scare but minutes later, their winger wad tripped in the box to give them a penalty which was confidently slotted into the bottom corner.

We missed a chance to equalise with the final kick of the game, when a low driven cross was put wide from 5 yards out.

Another good performance and a lot learnt from our final preseason friendly. We wish Washington the best of luck in the season ahead.

Hendon FC 2 - 0 Velocity The Royalty

A big test today against a strong Division 1 team, and with late drop outs, we had 11 men to start, with an extra turning up 10 mins in to give us one sub.

1st half was mainly Hendon and they took the lead through a well timed through ball which was saved by 'baba' Smilie in goal but we were caught watching as their forward netted the rebound. Both teams created a number chances but the 1st half ended 1-0.

2nd half we played a lot more decent football and created a few more half chances which we failed to take. Hendon got their 2nd as we pushed forward to try get an equaliser, making an easy square for their forward to slot home.

Happy with the performance today, as we held our own against a strong team, and some of the lads being forced into playing the full 90. We wish Hendon the best of luck for the upcoming season.

Man of the Match - Chris Taylor (just because of the tackle in the 1st half which was outstanding 😂).

Wearmouth FC 3 v 5 Velocity The Royalty

An annual preseason fixture and as usual good game tonight with plenty of minutes in the legs for our players, including some new and 'old' lads turning out.

A tight 1st half saw us 2-2 with a much improved 2nd half performance from the lads seeing out the game as winners. We scored 7 of the 8 goals tonight, as on 2 occasions our defence forgot which end we were shooting at and put it past Hutchy in our goal!

We wish Wearmouth all the best for the upcoming season and hope to have some new transfer announcements in the next few days.

Velocity Street Bar 1 - 4 Lambton Lions

A disappointing day today where we were beaten by the better team. We took an early lead through Jack 'Irish' Murphy after a brilliant cross in by Scott was blasted past the keeper at close range. We then went on to miss a few chances before Lambton started turning the screw and played some of the best keep ball football we have saw this season.

Fair play to Lambton and we wish them the best for their final few games of the season.

Velocity Street Bar 6 v 1 Wear United

Another brilliant performance today where we didn't let the opposition play the football they wanted to, which showed in the 1st 5 minutes when our press led to a breakaway and Scott had a simple tap in after the keeper saved Wayne's shot.

The 2nd goal was practically a carbon copy with the same outcome.

Wear tried to mount a comeback and got a goal with a lovely shot from their striker hitting the post and rebounding out for a simple tap in to make it 2-1.

Wayne 'The lip' should have added a 3rd but a dubious offside decision ruled out his goal where he leaped like a salmon and headed it home. But not long after Wayne slipped a lovely through ball through to set Bannister on his way to slot home bottom corner, 3-1 at half time.

The 2nd half was mostly all Velo, with Wayne smashing a left foot cross for Scott to add to his impressive goal tally, seal a hat trick and make it 4-1.

The 5th earned Wayne his 3rd different nickname in 3 weeks when a through ball saw him collide with keeper, just nicking in to knock it past him, but in the process biting through his bottom lip and being a bloody mess.

We finished the scoring late on with a well taken corner by Abba finding Harry 'the dancing queen' Woodward at the back post who thundered in a header.

That's 3 games unbeaten in a row now and we are happy with the way our season is finishing, and hope to keep up the momentum and give us a positive end to what has been a difficult season. No game next week with it being Easter Sunday.

Velocity Street Bar 4 v 4 Victory Club

A good game yesterday, as always, with the 2 teams never have a boring fixture, but a tough one to take. Both teams matched each other in the opening of the game but we managed to take the lead through the leagues top goal scorer, Scott. They equalised soon after and the half ended 1-1.

2nd half we had plenty of chances again, but didn't take as many as we should. We took another lead with Wayne'Finally took a chance' Haley scoring from close range from a cross fired in low. Again they equalised.

We then went on to score 2 more with Jack 'Irish' Murphy slotting home a penalty and Scott adding to his impressive goal tally with a well taken solo goal after dribbling around their defenders and scoring with the outside of his boot.

5 minutes to go and Victory got their tails up, and fair play to them they didn't stop pressing and probing. They got their 3rd and with practically the last kick of the game their player scored a header from a poorly defended cross.

Another point on the board, Onto Wear United next week @ Ford Hub, 1120am ko.

Velocity Street Bar 8 - 0 Doxy Athletic

A great game for us today. A Convincing performance from the off taking an early lead, which is unusual for us. 3 of our goals were penalties but to be honest their defender was more interested in the legs of our players than the ball.

With doxy probably lucky to have 1 shot on target the victory didn't flatter us at all and in all honestly it could have been a lot more if we had took all of our chances.

The highlight of the game being Lewis holding the ball up on the halfway after their corner and Harry tearing forward screaming "I'm coming BABA!!"

Our season has had some up and downs, a lot more downs recently, however the crack is back and the lads are finally showing what they can do and hopefully finishing with a Bang!
