SEASON 2008/09
Queen Eleanor’s fourth season in the Combination saw us finish 11th out of fourteen with a playing record of
P26,W6,D3,L17,F38,A63,Pts 21.
Out of a possible 28 first team matches Paul Long played all 28 games, followed by Greg Jolley 24 and David Sibley on 19. The first teams top scorer was Marc Ansell and Charlie Wixon who both scored 6 goals followed by Lee Cotton with 5 and Gareth Errington and Dave Nottage both on 4.
The Reserves finished 10th out of 14 with a playing record of;-
P26,W8,D4,L14,F47,A85,Pts 28.
Stuart Schofield played 18 times out of a possible 31 Reserve games with Andy Myers playing 17 games followed by Nikki Mistry on 14. Stuart Schofield also led the scoring for the Reserves with 9 strikes with Steve Kimber next on 6 goals and Shaun Miller with 5.
It was another bad season for disciplinary, as the balance sheet shows. The first team finished bottom but one out of 103 teams in the Bad Team table with 27 yellow cards and 12 red cards. Not something to be proud of. The Reserves received 7 yellow cards and 3 red cards finishing in 41st place. We must improve vastly for next season.
We finished 3rd in the hospitality award and top of the the facilities league. In the linesman league Clive Ashton finished 17th out of 75 and Paul Rideout 55th.
Mick Holmes resigned as treasurer during the season.
In closing I would like to thank all the committee, players and members for all their hard work during the season and hope that the coming season will be more successful.
