17The season so far.
- Rayleigh B have been denied the league for the
last 2 seasons. The beginning of the season saw
us lose many original players. We were playing
matches with only 9 men until the end of
November. However, with only 9 players Rayleigh
have lost some games . However we did beat FC
Dedman 4-2 with 9 men and likewise drew with
Canvey Island 3-3. We now have 11 players (no
subs) but this side shows 100 commitment. They
never give up and with such determination and
drive, Rayleigh should get some results this
season. Come on Rayleigh!
18First Game of the season18.10.09
- Shore Athletic 4 Rayleigh 3
- This was an unfortunate loss, however the boys
did battle with 10 men. A crucial penalty made it
difficult to catch up and time ran out. We hope
to do better with a full squad at our home game.
19Second game of the season18.10.09
- Wickford Town 5 Rayleigh 3
- This was an unfortunate loss with the 9 men. We
hope to do better with a full squad away later on
this season.
20Cup Game 3rd game of the season27.10.09
- FC Dedman 2 Rayleigh 4
- This was a breath taking game. With 30 minutes of
the second half left Rayleigh lost their player
captain and was down to 9 men. The boys held on
to finish the game 2-2. They played an additional
30 minutes extra time and held the game. They won
on penalties 4-2. A well deserved score which
shows what the lads are made of. Sheer
determination and team spirit!
214th Game of the season08.11.09
- Ashingdon Youth 9 Rayleigh 0
- The results did not really show the efforts
during this game. 9 men against 11 proved
difficult against Ashingdon, who score most of
their goals as headers from corners. We look
forward to meeting Ashingdon with 11 men on 29th
November in a cup game. Look out for this result
as it should prove a different game.
225th Game of the season15.11.09
- Canvey Island 3 Rayleigh 3
- This was another win for us. The game was a draw,
through battling tooth a nail. The equalising
goal was scored in the dying minute by Tom
Lambert. 9 men against 11 again. Everyone was run
ragged, but they thoroughly deserved the result.
We look forward playing Canvey with 11 men and
taking away a result next time!
236th Game of the season22.11.09
- Catholic United 8 Rayleigh 1
- This was a tough game and Catholic played well.
Again with 9 men it was going to be another hard
game and the players were suffering from fatigue
and an uphill struggle. We take the result
gracefully and look forward playing Catholic with
11 men and a result next time!
247th Game of the season Cup Match28.11.09
- Ashingdon Athletic Rayleigh
- This was a reunion to test our confidence and
self belief. This time we had 11 men (no subs)
but were positive about getting a result this
time. And we did 1-1, however the referee called
stop to the game due to adverse weather. A
rematch is being drawn up.
