AFC DRONFIELD 6 - 4 ECCLESALL RANGERS
The lads got off to a really slow start and quickly found themselves 3 – 0 down in the first game. However after half time in that match Edward Marsden came off the bench to score a superb hat trick. Those goals and Charlie Benn’s strike ensured we were 4 – 3 up at the end of the first match – an incredible performance from the lads.
In the second match 2 close range Jack Leversidge goals after fluent approach play and one in reply from Ecclesall saw us take another 3 points. Well done again boys.

Ecclesall Rangers 3 - 8 AFC Dronfield
The
lads turned out for the second time in a weekend and put in yet another
stunning display with some of the best football played all season. The
opposition management were extremely complimentary of the standard of
our play that saw us take an overall 8 – 3 victory.
However
we did go a goal behind in the first game and but for some outstanding
saves from our goalkeepers Jack Wilson and Jack Sanderson it could have
been different.
The
first game finished 4 – 1 , Alex Burke scoring twice, with goals also
from Jack Roy and Will Roberts. The second game finished 4 – 2 with
Bradley Thompson scoring twice and goals from Charlie Benn and Ross
Martin .

Killamarsh Dynamo's 4 - 5 AFC Dronfield
Historically
the games against Killamarsh have always been tight and this one was no
different. AFC Dronfield conceded an early goal but reacted very well
and took hold of the game better after going behind. The first game
finished 2 – 2 with Lawson Staley grabbing both goals to continue his
scoring run.
In
the second game 3 brilliantly taken goals from Jack Roy, Will Roberts
and a long range Sam Woods free kick plus 2 in reply from Killamarsh
set up a tense finish with around 5 minutes injury time played. AFC
Dronfield were superb all match and held on amongst late pressure for a
5 – 4 win.

Millhouses 2 - 2 AFC Dronfield
This
was a game that looking back we should have won. The lads put in a
great performance and were well on top for most of the game but “one of
those days” in front of goal saw us eventually draw 2 – 2. Edward
Marsden and Lawson Staley took their goals very well indeed. On another
day and but for the Millhouses goalkeepers it would have been 3 points
not one.

Chesterfield Town FC 2 - 1 AFC Dronfield

Greasborough 5- AFC Dronfield 3
1st game
On a blustery day AFC suffered their 2nd defeat of the season, albeit not through their hard work and at times good football.
All the pressure was with AFC but could not make it count which saw the teams level at half time. With the wind at their backs AFC put the opposition on the back foot but could not find a goal and a breakaway by Greasborugh saw them take the lead with a good passing movement, within 5 minutes creative football by AFC they got the goal they deserved through J Leversidge. This then spurred on Greasborough who made it 2-1 but AFC bounced back with a finely struck shot by J Roy ending in a 2-2 draw that the opposition was flattered by.
2nd game
From the off both teams looked equal with good football by both sides, but a great shot by a Greasborough midfielder gave them a 1-0 half time lead. Afc fought back well and got the equaliser through good football and a good shot by B Thompson. Afc then seemed to tire and the midfield got over ran resulting in them conceding 2 goals to lose the match 3-1 and fall 10 points behind them in the league
Better luck next week boys

AFC Dronfield 4 - 2 Brunsmeer AFC
1st game 1-1
This was a tight game with both sides battling to get the 1st goal. This went to Brunsmeer after some good work down the left,a cross, then a scrambled goal resulted. Afc fought back well and a fine effort by B Thompson into the top corner saw the final result end as a draw
.
2nd game 3-1
AFC were more dominate in the first half and some good interpassing saw J Roy open his account for the season. The second half was much of the same from Afc and a tap in for A Burke saw him score his 7th of the season after a W Roberts shot was dropped by the keeper. A lapse in defence saw Brunsmeer get a goal back but a few minutes later Afc restored their cushion after some good football between W Roberts J Levesidge and C B enn with the latter scoring
Well done to all the boys for a good game
