Game 1 — Taunton Town – 4-0 (Loss)

The first game we have faced without defender Emma Plummer, and the coaches bear some responsibility for the result. We needed to adapt the team in her absence and the solution we chose failed. Against one of the league’s strongest sides, the reshuffle never settled, and we spent most of the match firefighting. Not much to celebrate here, but plenty to learn from

Game 2 — Wellington – 3-0 (Win)

Our bogey team returned — the only side we’d never beaten. That changed quickly.

A smart switch saw Lee Edwards drop into defence alongside the ever-reliable Jason Hicks, instantly giving us balance and confidence. From there, the football flowed. Quick counters, sharp passing, and a team finally playing like itself again.
Every goal came from a proper team move:
– Two clinical finishes from top scorer Will Osborne
– And a beautifully unselfish assist to gift Rob McSweeney a debut-tournament goal
A dominant win against a side who usually cause us headaches.

Game 3 — Bristol City CP – 2-0 (Win)

As always, games against Bristol City CP delivered quality football from both sides. It was end-to-end, technical, and great to watch.
Our attack buzzed again, with Will Osborne and Rob McSweeney both scoring excellent individual goals. We could’ve had more if not for some superb saves from the City keeper.
At the back, the Lee–Jason partnership continued to shine, keeping a lively attack quiet. Behind them, Nino Genua collected his second clean sheet of the day — not bad for a three‑match tournament.

Game 1 — Park Knowle – 5-0 (Win)

A dominant start to the tournament saw Keynsham control the match from the first whistle. Slick passing carved Park Knowle open repeatedly, with Lee Edwards assisting three of Will Osborne’s goals. Emma Plummer added another assist with a pinpoint goal kick, and Osborne later turned provider for Edwards. The control was so complete that Keynsham chose to finish with only four outfield players on the pitch.

Game 2 — Wellington – 1–2 (Loss)

Despite dictating much of the play, Keynsham were undone again by our bogey team. Wellington scored early on the break and sat deep to protect their lead. A neat move through midfield allowed Edwards to set up Osborne for the equaliser, but a late long throw caused problems and Wellington snatched the winner.

Game 3 — Weston Crusaders – 1-1 (Draw)

A tight, physical contest between two strong sides. Weston, bolstered by Taunton players due to injuries, took the lead when a long throw fell kindly for their striker. Keynsham responded well, continuing to press until Edwards once again supplied Osborne for the leveller.

Game 4 — Bristol City CP – 1-0 (Win)

Both teams produced attractive passing football, but Keynsham’s attacking intent paid off. With defenders drawn to Osborne, space opened for Daryll Fox to advance and set up Edwards for his second goal of the day. In goal, Nino Genua delivered another assured performance, securing his second clean sheet.

Game 5 — Taunton Town – 1-0 (Loss)

A demanding final match between two evenly matched sides. While the attacking trio of Edwards, Fox and Osborne continued to threaten, this game was defined by defensive excellence. Plummer and Jason Hicks shut down wave after wave of Taunton attacks, and Genua remained unbeatable when called upon. Late pressure finally told, with a ricochet falling to Taunton’s danger man, who finished clinically to seal the points.

Game 1 — Wellington AFC – 0–1 (Loss)

Keynsham dominated possession and created several clear chances throughout the entire game but conceded from a chaotic goalmouth scramble following a long throw.

Despite hitting the post and a late one-on-one denied by an outstanding save, the team couldn’t find an equaliser.

Game 2 — Park Knowle Disability – 1–0 (Win)

A dominant performance produced many opportunities but only resulted in a single goal. After a cleared corner, defender Jason Hicks unleashed a stunning long-range strike that found the bottom corner. The team controlled the game, dominating both possession and territory so never looked like conceding, seeing out a convincing win.

Game 3 — Weston Ability Crusaders – 1–1 (Draw)

A physical, well-contested match between two strong sides. Weston opened the scoring from a goalmouth scramble after a corner; Keynsham then regrouped and pressed continuously. The pressure finally told when a handball on the line presented a penalty, which Will Osborne calmly converted to level the game just before the final whistle.

Game 4 — Bristol City CP – 4–0 (Win)

An emphatic win featuring fluent passing and energetic attacking play that outclassed the previous tournament winners. Will Osborne scored all four goals but was also heavily involved in creating chances for team-mates; Daryl and Lee both came close after clever assists.

Game 5 — Taunton Town – 3–0 (Win)

The team prepared well for Taunton’s key threat. Carey Cottle tracked the danger man effectively and, when beaten, Emma Plummer stepped in to neutralise him. The forward trio — Lee Edwards, Daryll Fox and Will Osborne — combined well, with Will taking all three goals to finish a commanding game and tournament performance.

A message from the Managers :

“Thank you to all players, families, and support staff who made the tournament possible.  The next tournament is in February — enjoy the break, and we’ll return ready to build on this progress”
