Match Reports 20018/19

Sat 10th August Capenhurst Villa  2  v  1  Ashville ..... Cape kicked off with a great start to the Division 1 campaign, and came out worthy winners, against a decent Ashville side. In an entertaining, end to end game, we were 0-1 down after 25 mins, after a defensive slip up. But we were awarded a penalty 10 mins later, when Ellis Williams was upended in the Ashville box. Danny Page smashed home the spot kick to level at 1-1. The second half was just as open, with chances at either end, and Danny Page grabbed his second goal to put us 2-1 up on 53 minutes. It was a great team effort, but Cape keeper Andrew Millington, deserves a mention, after an outstanding day, keeping numerous Ashville efforts out, but John Wainwright took the Cape MoM vote, with another decent performance. Well in lads. Marshalls FC Res   8  v  0   Capenhurst Villa Res ..... Well this wasn't a great opening game for the ressies, as we went 1-0 down in less than a minute, and were 6-0 down at half time. There was no coming back from such a bad start, but nevertheless, there was a marked improvement in the second half. Eric Gilmore was Capes stand out man today, taking the Cape MoM, as most of the team collectively, had an off day. Heads up boys. 'Back To Results'

Tues 13th August Capenhurst Villa Res   2   v  1   Willaston FC..... This was a vast improvement on Saturday, as the Ressies took all three points, in an exciting encounter, playing host to local rivals Willaston. It turned out to be the John Britton show on the night. As he bagged a smart double either side of a Willaston equaliser, to seal a great 2-1 win, whilst also picking up the Cape MoM. Well done lads. 'Back To Results'

Sat 17th August Maghull FC  4   v  1  Capenhurst Villa ..... Well this was a strange game, as Cape took an early lead through Ellis Williams, with a well worked goal on 17 mins 1-0. Cape had Maghull chasing shadows, and were well on top. Maghull scored a 25 yard screamer, shortly before half time, to make it a flattering 1-1. But we never came out in the second half, and were a completely different team. Maghull took full advantage, taking the lead on 53 mins with a thundering header, then added another two goals, to send us back home with a 4-1 loss. It was bewildering how our form dropped in the second half, after a very good first half, which was as good as i've seen from Cape. Phil Jones picked up the Cape MoM. Capenhurst Villa Res   5  v  1   Ellesmere Port Town Res ..... The ressies are picking up nicely now, after our opening day loss. And in this local derby, we came out convincing 5-1 winners. Louis Phelan claimed a double, along with the in-form John Britton who claimed another brace. Matty Hickman also registered, in what was really a stroll for Cape. The visitors claimed a consolation goal late on, but Cape were just too good on the day. A well deserved Cape MoM was James Sheridan. 'Back To Results'

Tues 20th August Capenhurst Villa Res  3   v  1   West Kirby FC Res ..... We left it late, but another fine win, means three on the spin, for the runaway Ressies. Cape were doing most of the pressing, and Eric Gilmore fired us ahead, on 34 mins 1-0. But the seasiders caught us on the back foot, and levelled just before half time 1-1. The game see-sawed a bit from end to end, but when it looked like the spoils would be shared, up popped Ben Marray, on 81 mins, to rifle in a rocket, 2-1 to Cape. That left Cape MoM on the night, Louis Phelan to cap off a great performance with a cracking goal, direct from a free kick on 84 mins, to wrap up the points 3-1. Get in !! To Results'

Sat 24th August Capenhurst Villa Res   2   v   4   Marine FC Res ..... We did the very same thing as in our opening game, giving away early goals then chasing the game. We were 0-2 down after 6 mins. 4-0 down at half time, before we even began to play. A better second half saw Alan Locke score on 55 mins, 4-1, and also hit the bar with a header on 67mins, and Louis Phelan, bagged another goal on 78 mins 4-2, but we gave ourselves far too much to do. Eventually going down 4-2. Cape keeper George Williams picked up the MoM, after a busy first half. 'To Results'

Wed 28th August Chester Nomads FC   1  v  2  Capenhurst Villa     ..... Cape made the relatively short trip to Chester Nomads, and came home with a cracking three points. The first half was goalless, with Cape marginally having the upper hand, half time 0-0. But on 55 mins, Nomads took the lead, it has to be said, against the run of play 0-1. But Cape MoM on the night Ellis Williams levelled just 4 mins later 1-1. And it was goal of the night (maybe the season), on 63 mins, as Capes Ashley Wardle smashed home a free kick, from fully 30 yards, 2-1, an absolute cracker, and worthy of winning any game. Three points in the bag. Well in boys. 'Back To Results'

Sat 31st August   Vauxhall Motors FC  3   v  1  Capenhurst Villa ..... Cape came home empty handed, after a lack lustre performance, at local rivals Vauxhall. We were 1-0 down as early as the 6th minute, and 3-0 down at half time, with only one real effort of note, when Ellis Williams rattled the post. Capes Eamonn Ryan bagged a consolation late on 3-1, but it was too little too late. John Wainwright took the Cape MoM vote. Capenhurst Villa Res  2   v  1   Heswall FC Res ..... Another win for the ressies, but this one went right to the wire. Cape took the lead on 26 mins, a direct free kick from Louis Phelan 1-0. And it stayed that way until the 83rd minute, when it looked like we were coasting to three points, Heswall levelled 1-1. It seemed like two points going begging, after leading for so long, but Louis Phelan popped up again in the 89th minute, to claim his, and Capes 2nd goal, and secure another win. Phew!! Cape MoM was without question, Louis Phelan.  'Back To Results''

Sat 7th September  Capenhurst Villa   0  v  0    Poulton Royal ..... Poulton win 5-3 Penalties ..... Cape tumbled out of the Cheshire cup at the first hurdle, to 2nd division Poulton Royal. Cape had enough of the play to see off the visitors, but it wasn't to be, as we hit the woodwork twice, one in each half, and had 70% of the possession, but we couldn't make it tell, and it finished 0-0. The game then went straight to penalties, and Poulton scored all 5 pens, to go through 5-3, as Cape missed two spot kicks. ''Back To Results'

Sat 14th September  Capenhurst Villa   3   v  1   Heswall FC ..... Cape sailed into the next round of the Wirral Senior Cup, after a 3-1 result against division 2 high flyers, Heswall FC. The win came courtesy of a Dom Hoppe double, and an Ellis Williams effort, to secure our appearance in the next round, a home tie to Vauxhall Motors, on October 19th. Helsby FC  6   v  1 Capenhurst Villa FC Res ..... Cape Ressies had just a solitary Ross Cooper goal to show for their efforts, as we found high flying Helsby too good on the day, and were on the wrong end of a 6-1 result. Heads up boys.  'Back To Results'

Sat 21st September Capenhurst Villa   0   v  3   Chester Nomads ..... Shot shy Cape ship three points at home after a decent enough start. We started off playing keep ball, Nomads hardly touched the ball in the first 20 mins. Ashley Wardle rattled the post on 12 mins, and things were looking really positive. Unfortunately we conceded a goal in first half injury time, 0-1, and we never recovered. Nomads added further goals on 51 and 76 mins, to make it a 0-3 scoreline. Defender Phil Jones picked up the Cape MoM today. West Kirby FC Res  3   v  2  Capenhurst Villa Res  ..... Cape were really unlucky today, after battling back from 2-0 down, with two John Britton goals, 2-2, the home side scored with just 5 mins remaining 2-3. Not giving Cape enough time to reply. 2 goal John Britton took the Cape MoM. 'Back To Results'

Sat 28th September Aintree Villa FC Res  1   v   1  Capenhurst Villa Res  ..... Cape took, what looks like a decent point at Aintree but we were disappointed not to come home with all three. Despite being a goal behind at half time 0-1, the lads were well on top. John Britton levelled on 56 mins 1-1, and we peppered the Aintree goal from thereon, with their keeper having a blinder. The lads were disappointed with a solitary point, after pretty much controlling the match, and hopefully its onwards and upwards from here. The returning Shaun Weaver ran the show in midfield, and easily took the Cape MoM. 'Back To Results'

Sat 5th October  Neston Nomads FC  1   v   3   Capenhurst Villa FC ..... This was a much better performance, as we took all three points at Neston Nomads. We were 1-0 up on 22 mins, John Wainwright heading home from a Andy Henry free kick. Cape did make several other chances but it stayed 1-0 at half time. The returning Danny Page made it 2-0 on 57 mins, arriving onto the pitch just a minute previous. Danny Walker put the game to bed on the hour, with our third 3-0. And although Nomads scored a consolation on 70 mins, 3-1, it was Capes day, and we were by far the better side. Danny Wainwright took the plaudits with the Cape MoM. Capenhurst Villa FC Res  6   v  0  Chester Nomads FC Res  ..... Cape went goal crazy, and put visitors Chester Nomads severely to the sword. 3-0 up at half time, with the opener from John Britton on 12 mins, a Charlie Bell effort on 38 mins, 2-0. And John Britton again just a minute later 3-0, Half time. The second half went much the same way, as John Britton completed his hat-trick on 47 min, 4-0. Carl Wellesbury added a 5th on 51 minutes 5-0. And veteran defender Phil Strapp got in on the act in the 74th minute. Capping off a fine team performance, tapping home to make it 6-0, and a comfortable three points. Leon Wall took the MoM, edging out goal hero John Britton. 'Back To Results'

Sat 12th October  Capenhurst Villa FC  0   v  3  Mossley Hill Athletic FC  ..... Cape came out second best, against one of the two remaining unbeaten sides in Division One. Mossley Hill showed why they have had an unbeaten start, and went in at half time with a 3-0 lead. The game was then over as a contest, but Cape did step up their game in the second period, albeit to no avail, as we couldn't find the back of the net. The final score stayed 3-0 to the visitors. Cape MoM today, was the tireless Billy Nixon. 'Back To Results'

Sat 26th October   Capenhurst Villa FC    P   v  P   Vauxhall Motors FC  .....  Rainford United FC   P  v  P   Capenhurst Villa FC Res  ..... 'Back To Results'

Sat 2nd November  FC Bootle St Edmunds   5  v  1   Capenhurst Villa FC Res ..... Cape started off well against top of the table St Edmunds. And our leading scorer, John Britton put us 1-0 up on 23 mins. But as we were still celebrating, the home side rattled in a leveller just 2 minutes later 1-1. They scored again, right on half time, to go in 2-1 up, undeservedly. But the unbeaten side, showed exactly why they were top of the table, in the second half, scoring 3 more goals without reply, to make it a flattering 5-1 scoreline. Ellis Williams took the Cape MoM, as Capes stand out performer. 'Back To Results'

Sat 9th November  Rainhill Town FC  1   v  2  Capenhurst Villa FC ..... Cape took a welcome three points, away at Rainhill Town FC. Although Cape had dominated most of the play in the first half, the sides went in 0-0 at half time. The second half sprung to life immediately, and on 49 mins Ellis Williams put cape 1-0 to the good. The home side picked up their game, and drew level on 65 mins 1-1. It was end to end now, and on 75 mins Danny Page slotted home, to give Cape a 2-1 lead, and subsequently the three points. Charlie Thomas took the Cape mom, with some stout defending. 'Back To Results'

Sat 16th November   Capenhurst Villa FC  Res  1   v  2  Ashville FC Res  ..... Cape exited the Wirral Amateur cup, after todays game was switched to Ashville, due to our pitch being unplayable. We started off fine, and went ahead, courtesy of an own goal on 24 mins, 1-0. But the lead didn't last long, as Ashville levelled on 26 mins, 1-1. In a tight affair, both sides had enough chances to win it in the second half, but it was Ashville who took theirs on 79 mins, to go through to the next round 2-1. Bad Luck boys. 'Back To Results'
