Bashley 3 AFC Stoneham 0 Southampton Senior Cup Bashley completed a laudable double over high-flying AFC Stoneham by following up Saturday’s 3-2 league win with a midweek Groundhog Day, this time by three clear goals. Both teams put out strong sides for this cup encounter and it was the visitors who struck first with a header just past the post; quick retaliation by Bashley was foiled when keeper Matt Fredericks blocked a Conor Whiteley shot. Whiteley was also on hand to set up Bashley’s opener; his cross into to the box was half-cleared and picked up by Ollie Smith [...]

Bashley 3 AFC Stoneham 2 Wessex Premier Bashley, without the injured Jason Collins and Morgan Browning, gave first team starts to goalkeeper Harry Gravett and Centre Back Matt Crowe with the last season’s top scorer Dan Munday, now residing in the Midlands, making a surprise first appearance on the bench. The opening minutes were scrappy with both teams lacking purpose; this all changed in the thirtieth minute when a forward movement by Bashley came to a full stop with the ball loose in the box when, as if teleported, midfielder Lewis Ross strode through a hesitant Stoneham defence and [...]

Bashley 3 Hamworthy Utd 1 Wessex Premier Bashley reverted to form after late September doldrums with three heart-warming goals. Manager Paul Morris’s ploy of giving attacking midfielder Conor Whitely the number nine shirt with Harry McGrath and Harry Bunce as wide attackers brought a new energy to the frontline which was evident straight from the kick-off. It was however ex-Bash striker Cameron Beard who left the first mark, but this was on the back legs of Lewis Ross allowing Conor Whiteley a chance from the resultant free kick to test Hammer keeper Ollie King. Bashley were back to their [...]

Bashley 1 Solent University 2 Wessex Premier Any thoughts of easy pickings were soon discounted when bottom club Solent University started strongly and dominated the first ten minutes. Bashley’s best chance fell to Jamie Webber when he sliced wide following a Conor Whiteley attempt that came back off the crossbar whilst at the other end a high bouncing ball almost surprised the Bash defence as it landed just past the post. Bash pressed forward and Harry Bunce, after leaving his defender cold, was denied a successful finish by the alertness of Solent keeper Alex Londors. Then a turning point, [...]

Bashley 5 Milford 0 Bournemouth Senior Cup Round 2 (Sutton 25'og Ross 51' Bunce 34' 49' Webber 86') Att: 104 This, a first ever meeting of two local neighbours, was a celebration of good, clean, competitive football with little consideration given to league difference and the heavy rain. Despite resting a few key players, Bashley fielded a strong side with Morgan Browning making his home debut in central defence alongside Matt Crow. Milford were unfazed by the occasion and during the first twenty-five minutes there was little difference in class between the teams. Bashley then went ahead when a scorching [...]
