Cove prove too strong for Trams

A goal in each half sunk the Trams to their sixth straight defeat..
A poor game all round saw poor decisions and bad finishing. Coves first goal owed more to luck than skill and their second was pretty much the same. Wearing the Yellow shirt of Cove is former Tram Nathan Woodbridge.
Final Score: Croydon 0 - Cove 2.
Website Man of the Match: Martin Smith.

Sandhurst come good second half

First half the Trams were good. Sadly a blatant professional foul was met with not even a card, truely one of lifes mysteries.
Gladwin's goal was superb with a looping shot everyone expected to go over. Even the keeper looked amazed it sail into the net.
Seconds into the second half Sanhurst drew level. For there three goals killed any chance the Trams had. Two further goals made the scoreline look good. Trams face Chessington & Hook Tuesday away.
Final Score:Croydon 1 - Sandhurst Town 5
Website Man of the Match: John Gladwin.

Tense win after a long break.

A fantasic game at the Arena saw Croydon nick a goal in the final minute to beat Ash United 3-2
The game sprung to life when Ash's keeper was sent off and Dabronwa converted the penalty. Gyimah scored two of the finest goals to be seen at the arena in a long while. Debuts today for Adrian Jones (in goal), Craig Phelps (in defence), Danny Clayton and Robert Winfield in Midfield. Final Score:Croydon 3 - Ash United 2
Website Man of the Match: Craig Phelps and Junior Gyimah.

Saturday 24th October 2009

Guildford City (H)
A dull first half only saw three incidents. Chincharo was subbed after 11 minutes with a facial injury. In the 40th minute Dean Culpit was injured with what appeared to be a rather bad groin strain. Rob Bartley took over in goal and had gave a fine performance between the posts. Then on the stroke of half time Ikocodo scored. The second half was a btter performance with Gyimah going close a few times.

Webmasters Man of the Match: Rob Bartley for taking over and almost scoring with a freekick.
Final Score :Croydon 1 - Guildford City 0

Trams draw with Chicks !

Dorking (H)
Chinchouro put the Trams ahead after 10 minutes, and within seconds Dorking levelled. Davis scored a class goal after a sything pass from Goddard in the 18th minute. A quite dodgy penalty in the second half saw Dorking level again, but in the final seconds of the game Jensen Grant hit the post from the spot. Debut's today for Dean Cupit in goal, Mohammed Shuga, Tchoudteu Ritpeden, Jake Pitt, Dexter Babaloa and Asa Colbourne.
Steve McNamara is now with Chertsey Town. Other players have left the club.

Statement from Croydon FC.
It is with great sadness that Croydon Football Club announce that they have parted ways with 1st team manager Mike Robbins.
Mike joined late in the summer after the unexpected departure of Tony Beckingham and had very little time to rebuild the team.
He brought silverware to the club when his side beat VCD Athletic in the Kent League Shield and he will always be remembered fondly for that victory, however, a very poor start to the league campaign and early defeat in the FA Cup has made his position untenable.
Croydon football club would like to thank Mr Robbins for all his efforts on their behalf and to wish him every success in his future endeavours.
First team coach Matt Longhurst will be in charge of team affairs on Saturday (22 August) and the club hope to regularise matters as soon as possible thereafter.
On behalf of Croydon Football Club
Trams out of the FA Cup.
Mike shook up the team for this FA Cup game at home to Shoreham. The visitors only took 10 minutes to open the scoring. They doubled the score on 22 minutes. From a corner Shoreham nodded in an own goal then they increased the lead to 1-3 four minutes later. The first half was not the best Trams perofromance, but the second half they go got back into the game. Sadly Agyeman came off with a leg injury. Late on Zim Lelo scored his first for the club. The Trams fought back with both Westerman and McNamara having shots on goal. Shoreham hit two late goals to put the tie out of the Trams reach. PHOTOS NOW ONLINE
Webmasters Man of the Match: Steve McNamara.
Final Score 2 - 5.
First Home Game.
Midweek action at the Arena, saw rain, poor performances, a plethora of bookings and two dismissals.
Chessington hit the net first with a peach of a goal in the 25th minute with a long range lob. This was followed up with a penalty in the 32nd minute. The referee Gavin Collins started his evening with three bookings of Croydon players in the first half. Cunningham scored the Trams first goal in the Combinded Counties League in the 33rd minute. Strangely not one Chessington player was booked although it was an even contest for rash or poor tackles. Collins went to town in the second half booking five more Croydon players in cluding the sending off of two Trams. Aaron Agyeman shone throughout the second half and earnt his goal on 88th minute. This leaves the Trams in 14th place.
Webmasters Man of the Match: Aaron Agyeman.
Final Score 2 - 3. 2009/2010 Club Captain.
At training tonight, the Trams annonced their new Club Captain in the shape of Aaron Smith. Aaron was at the club last season and despite injuries managed to compete well. The vice captains are Croydon's Tim Murdoch and Aaron Agyeman.
A couple of new faces at the ground included Nana Agyei and Louis Claigh. Nana was previously with Merstham and Chipstead, and Louis comes in from Weymouth.
