Dunmow Rhodes v Onley Arms Match Preview

PREVIEW   As the December fixtures are soon to be underway, Dunmow Rhodes host Onley Arms in the league at the High Easter Ground as the two square up for the first time this season. With Dunmow Rhodes coming into the game off the back of an 8-0 demolition of Witham Nomads and Onley Arms losing 6-1 the previous week at home, it was fair to say the odds were in favour of the home side who would be looking for another 3 points to add to the 14 they have already acquired. As for Onley Arms, they knew they were in for a tough game especially as they have only won once all season as they sit in the drop zone with just 4 points and a goal difference of -25. A promising sign for the visitors is the injuries to 2 starters for Dunmow Rhodes from their last game in   Joshua Breeze and the tricky Spaniard Emilio Caceres – Sola who both limped away from last weeks game.

Dunmow Rhodes v Witham Nomads Match Report

MATCH REPORT Whitham Nomads FC (0) Dunmow Rhodes FC (8) After a one sided game in the league earlier on the season Witham’s fait was repeated once more as Rhodes ran riot with their slick passing football proved all too much for the home side once more. The round of 16 tie in the Malcom Foy Memorial Trophy was an entertaining one where 8 goals were scored in a very one sided affair. With both teams looking thin due to a number of injuries problems it was expected to be a tight game however this game was not with Dunmow Rhodes blowing away Witham Nomads with a great attacking performance despite their defensive formation of a 5-3-2. Sharp from the get go, Rhodes scored twice inside the first 15 minutes with George Hamill (7 mins) scoring his second goal in as many games who rounded off a great passing move. A well worked free kick shortly found Kennie Irving (14 mins) in the box who doubled the visitors advantage. The game continued to be played in Nomads half and Dunmo...

POST MATCH “The way in which the players played today made my job an easy one especially after picking up two injuries in the warm up for the game” said Dunmow Rhodes Manager George Alexander after he was questioned on the his players performed in the game. He further added “Witham have had some decent results this season and have been involved in some close games so to play them twice and win 8-0 twice it is some achievement and sends out a strong statement to the rest of the teams in the competition”. Speaking to a rather deflated Witham Nomads manager Phil Baker after the game he showed his appreciation for the away side by saying “they are a young side and they move the ball around today. We were chasing shadows for 90 minutes and the score line probably reflects that however we have a lot to work and we will look to bounce back next week”.  A picture of the Dunmow Rhodes goal scorers from right to left (Sam Hockley, Jake Sutton, George Hamill, Joshua Breeze, Kennie ...
