Report: Men’s 5th XI vs Droitwich 3s – February 01, 2025

Another cracker of a draw for Hampton 5s against Droitwich 3s, currently second in the topsy turvey table (Harborne played 11, Bloss played 8). A full on highly competitive game saw us 0-0 at half time, before falling behind to a well taken goal on the break. But with JD driving us on we carried on attacking and managed to win a flick. Cooly slotted by Craig, a reward for his hard work, we saw Read more…

Report: Men’s 5th XI vs Harborne 6s – December 07, 2024

On the day the goalposts were moved – Strange day with storm Darragh causing a bit of chaos, it was game on as far as Harborne and the M5 were concerned. In the warm up a gust blew the goalposts back about 3ft behind the line, luckily the weather calmed as the game started. As with our last few weeks Hampton started well and were soon creating chances and restricting Harborne to break aways. As Read more…

Report: Men’s 5th XI vs Old Sills 6 – November 30, 2024

Further progress this week with our first clean sheet of the season. Sills created few clear opportunities due the the quality of our defensive 5 with MOTM Mark Hiles playing exceptionally well, stepping in to tackle and intercept and driving us up the right. We were the dominant side and created opportunities. Thankfully Siddarth Sailesh in his second competitive game ghosted onto the far post and cooly tucked away the cross from our other 13 Read more…

Report: Men’s 5th XI vs Worcester 7s – November 23, 2024

A tale of 2 weekends, last Saturday we ran the right process but could not buy a goal, this week, same process, different outcome, and a 3-1 win. Credit all over the pitch, the team were excellent, there is room to improve but our progression is clear. Stand outs were Joe Dunne who stepped in to keep for us with only a couple of hours notice (the writer having stuffed his back earlier that day). Read more…

Report: Men’s 5th XI vs Blossomfield 3s – November 16, 2024

A tale of what might have been. The bad part – they scored two and won. The second a two man break, Hampton need that not to happen again. Now the good and there is lots of it. Our play from the back featuring Henry and dad Dom with Eshan through to Ollie, Joe and Jack was excellent including lots of triangles and give and go. Phils one touch passing was excelent in creating space. Read more…
