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 11th January Litherland REMYCA FC Res   2   v   5  Capenhurst Villa FC ..... Cape travelled to Litherland and returned with a three point haul. After a topsy-turvy first half, Cape finally took control in the second period. And goals from Danny Page, Steve Rowlands, Liam Wall, Corey Beavan, and Cape MoM on the day, Eamonn Ryan, secured a 5-2 win, and made the long trip home a bit more enjoyable. Well in boys. 'Back To Results'

Sat 18th January Capenhurst Villa FC   2    v   1   Ashville FC Res ..... With still no electricity at Capenhurst, we played the game on the Astroturf at Vauxhall. Steve Rowlands put Cape 1-0 up on 35 mins, and Corey Beavan doubled Capes lead on 72 mins, 2-0. The game looked to be all over, But Ashville immediately pulled a goal back on 74 mins 2-1, to make it a nervy finish, but we hung on for another win. Phil Jones was our stand out man today, taking the Cape MoM. Poulton Royal FC   1   v   1  Capenhurst Villa FC Res ..... Unfortunately this game was abandoned after 30 mins, with the scoreline at 1-1, with Carl Wellsbury netting a cracker for Cape. A Poulton player had a bad leg break on the half hour, so the referee decided to call time on the game. Our best wishes go to the Poulton player concerned. We hope he has a quick recovery.

Sat 16th February  Capenhurst Villa FC   3   v   2   Heswall FC ..... A great three points, against 2nd placed rivals Heswall, which keeps us seven points clear of our visitors, who now drop into third place. Cape took a first half 1-0 lead on 27 mins, with an 18 yard strike from Steve Rowlands. We bossed most of the half, but after the re-start Heswall levelled on 49 mins 1-1. It was a tight affair now but in a 3 minute spell on 60 mins, Steve Rowlands bagged his 2nd goal, with a smart volley. And on 63 mins, todays Cape MoM Ian Mitchell thundered home a bullet header from a corner, 3-1. That wrapped up the points. The referee somehow found 12 mins of added on time, when Heswall netted a 2nd 3-2 on 98 mins. Gladly the lads held out for the win. 'Back To Results'

Sat 2nd March  Mallaby FC  2   v  3   Capenhurst Villa FC .... Cape bagged a Cup final spot, but nerves were jangling a bit in the last few minutes. Cape took a 2-0 first half lead, Danny Page heading home from a corner on 8 mins 1-0. And Andy Henry scored with another header, after a Danny Page effort rattled off the cross bar, Andy was on hand to head home the rebound, 2-0 on 32 mins. We were looking really comfortable, but Mallaby pulled a goal back right on half time 2-1 HT. Then after Cape dominating the first half, Mallaby took control of matters, and levelled on 79 mins, 2-2. But it was to be Capes day, as Andy Henry broke away, and was scythed down for a penalty on 82 mins. Top scorer Danny Page stepped up and smashed home the spot kick, to give us a 3-2 win. Billy Nixon was our stand out man today, picking up the Cape MoM with a great performance. Capenhurst Villa FC Res  0   v   2   Ellesmere Port Town fc.... A really disappointing day for the stiffs in their Semi-final, as they couldn't quite reproduce their recent form. Port bagged a goal in each half to break Capenhurst hearts. But nevertheless, still a big achievement, with this young side. So heads up lads, Onwards and Upwards. 'Back To Results'

Sat 16th March Capenhurst Villa FC   1   v   3   Maghull FC Res.... Well Cape never really showed up for this one. We were 0-2 down after 56 mins, and hadn't mustered a shot on target. Lewis Cooper did pull a goal back on the hour 1-2, but Maghull soon restored their two goal advantage 1-3, on 70 mins, and unfortunately that's how it stayed. A disappointing day for Cape. The ever consistent Phil Jones took the Cape Mom. 'Back To Results'

Sat 23rd March    Capenhurst Villa FC   2   v   3   CheshireLines FC .... We started off 100% better than last week, and we were 1-0 up through a Danny Page header on 6 mins, but it was all square just 5 mins later 1-1 on 11 mins. Cape were well on top, when Danny Page was dragged down for a penalty on 27 mins, and he picked himself up and duly despatched the spot kick, for his and Capes 2nd, 2-1 and Half time. The second half was nothing like the first, and we dropped off the pace. The Lines pushed and pushed, and eventually levelled on 80 mins 2-2, and with their tails up, added a winner on 85 mins 2-3. Our second half showing was nowhere near our first half, and we probably got what we deserved in the end. Cape Mom today, was centre back Charlie Thomas. 'Back To Results'

Sat 30th March  South Liverpool FC Res  1   v   1 Capenhurst Villa FC .... Cape took a welcome point, after a run of two defeats on the spin. On the whole we played a lot better today, and after going a goal down 0-1, early in the second half, we fought back well, to snatch a point on 71 mins. It was Cape MoM on the day, Eamonn Ryan, who surged forward, went past 2 or three challenges, and toe poked home the deserved equaliser 1-1. Capenhurst Villa FC Res  3   v   1   Marshalls FC Res .... Cape more or less secured a top five finish, with a comfortable win over Marshalls. MoM on the day, Carl Wellesbury and Phil Jones put Cape 2-0 by half time, and youngster Rowan Whelan put the result beyond doubt on 73 mins, 3-0. The visitors did claim a consolation goal late on, to make it 3-1 to Cape, but it was another three points for the lads, with a very steady performance. 'Back To Results'

Sat 6th April Mersey Royal  4  v  0 Capenhurst Villa FC Res .... Cape were undone by a youthful, and  decent, Mersey Royal outfit. Two goals in each half, gave the home side a deserved 4-0 victory. Young Capenhurst goalkeeper, George Williams picked up the Cape MoM, with a fautless performance in nets. Back To Results'

Sat 13th April  Capenhurst Villa FC Res   2  v  1   Heswall FC Res ..... The Ressies signed off their final home game with a fine win. After a goalless first half, the game eventually sprung into life on 50 mins, as Capes Carl Wellesbury took his personal goal tally into double figures, and made it 1-0. Unfortunately we were still celebrating, when Heswall levelled on 51 mins, 1-1. It was even stevens from thereon, but it was Capenhurst who claimed the winner, and all three points in the 90th minute, via Cape MoM on the day Mike Mitchell, 2-1. Leaving the visitors no time to reply. Well in boys. 'Back To Results'

Sat 20th April  Maghull FC Res  1  v  2  Capenhurst Villa FC ..... Cape just needed a win to get promotion, and remain in 2nd place in the league, but yes you guessed it. We went a goal down after 28 mins. But the lads never bottled it, and on 50 mins, Danny Wainwright played a smart 1-2 with Cape MoM on the day, Mitch Bailey, and smashed home from 18 yards, 1-1. And maybe it was fitting, that Capes leading scorer, Danny Page, should bag the winner on 58 mins, 2-1, with a neat lob over the oncoming keeper, after good work from Ashley Wardle. Division one here we come. Congrats to all Cape Staff: Daz, Damian, Pidge, Swainy, and of course, all the players. 'Well in boys'. 'Back To Results'

Sat 27th April  Poulton Royal FC  A   v   A  Capenhurst Villa FC Res  ..... Game abandoned on 20 mins, due to bad weather, with score at 1-1. 'Back To Results'

Thur 2nd May     Capenhurst Villa FC  0   v  1  Page Celtic   .....WEST CHESHIRE BOWL FINAL..... Cape fell at the last hurdle, with a 1-0 defeat in the Bowl final. But we were never second best in the whole 90 mins. Cape bossed most of the game, with territorial advantage throughout, but we couldn't find that all important goal. Page Celtic played with a strong rearguard action as soon as they scored, with somewhat of a fluke, on 37 mins. Sometimes getting 9 or 10 men behind the ball. And we eventually went down 1-0, unable to find a reply. We did hit the post with a Danny Page effort, and had a couple of really good chances that went begging. And although the lads fought admirably, we just couldn't peg Celtic back. The Capenhurst team left the field with their heads held high, after giving it their all. Unlucky boys, Good Effort.                                          'Back To Results'
