October 28th
In the absence of any details from
Southall Football Club the following match report is taken from
the Merstham web site:
Merstham bounce back from their
disappointing exit from the Surrey Senior Cup with a deserved
win over current title challengers Southall. Both teams were
unbeaten up until this fixture and after a very close first half
it looked as though that may continue. The half time team 'talk'
seemed to make the difference however as Merstham played the
second 45 with much more determination. In fact it took just 10
minutes for Merstham to take the lead as Shane Franklin headed
the ball home from a Rob Hill cross. More chances fell to
Merstham as they took confidence from the lead whilst Southall
looked somewhat up against it. In the end, lucky to have not
conceded more goals, a frustrated Southall, became more physical
as a card-happy ref went into double figures with bookings. The
visitors saw 2 players dismissed, including their keeper with
2nd yellows during this scrappy last 15 but Merstham could not
take advantage of numbers and increase their lead. A 1-0 win for
Merstham as they remain the last unbeaten team in this league.
The following is taken from the Farnham Town web site:
Farnham lost 5 - 1 to Southall. Farnham played good football in
the first 25 minutes with Dave Ocquay scoring the goal. But then
Southall hit 5 to pick up three points.

Kick off at The Warren will be at 7.45 pm.

October 15th
Southall moved into second place in the
Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League with a worthy 3-0
win over third placed Godalming Town.
There seemed little to choose between the two sides in the
first quarter of the match with the visitors perhaps looking
slightly more threatening than Southall. The deadlock was broken
after 28 minutes with a superb move that showed how effective a
quick counter attack can be.
Southall won possession on the left hand side of their own
penalty area. Shane O'Sullivan released the ball to Darren
Wallace who began to attack down the left hand side before
releasing a superb cross field ball to Donal O'Sullivan. The
Southall leading scorer then crossed from the right to the far
post where Leon Fisher was at hand to head home past Andy
Brookes.
Six minutes later Southall went two ahead. Fine individual
skill from Leon Fisher took the ball from 25 yards out before
slotting home from ten yards.
Southall began to look very comfortable and under little
pressure from the visitors but were unable to add to their
tally before half time.
After the interval the game began to lose its vitality and at
times the play became scrappy and unadventurous. However,
Southall created enough chances in the half to put the game well
beyond the reach of Godalming Town.
On the hour Southall had a goal ruled out for offside by
referee Mr Wright and with a quarter of an hour to go Byron
Glasgow fed the ball to Donal O'Sullivan whose ferocious strike
smashed against the Godalming cross bar and to safety.
With one minute of normal time remaining Southall scored their
third and final goal of the game. Once again the potent
partnership of Leon Fisher and Donal O'Sullivan was involved.
This time it was the turn of Fisher to find O'Sullivan who had
the relatively easy task to tap home from six yards.
As the game went into injury time Donal O'Sullivan came within
inches of making it four and Jason Hartles was called into rare
serious action with a fine save from James Blasson.
This was a good performance by the whole team with a resolute
steady defence and a hard working skilful midfield adding to the
potent fire power of Fisher and O'Sullivan.
October 11th
Southall won through to Round Three of
the E1 Records Premier Challenge Cup with a 2-1 win over Horley
Town.
Southall soon found themselves behind against a strong Horley
side but prevented the home side from adding further to their
score in the first half. After the interval Southall quickly
equalised with a goal from Donal O'Sullivan after 46 minutes.
Pressure on the Horley goal was rewarded with a second goal from
Donal O'Sullivan ten minutes from time.
Southall are now at home to Sandhurst Town in Round Three of
the competition.
The Middlesex Senior Cup First Round match away to Enfield Town
has been arranged for Tuesday November 15th, kick off at 7.45
pm.
October 4th
Southall lost their 100% record when they
drew 2-2 away to Cove.
Traffic delays meant that the Southall team arrived shortly
before kick off and as a result the team was unprepared and
disorganised for the first part of the match. Cove took full
advantage of this and sped into a 2-0 lead by the interval.
The second half saw Southall take the upper hand and press for
a breakthrough. This came after 65 minutes when Leon Fisher was
upended in the penalty area. A penalty was awarded and Leon
Dussard made no mistake from the spot. Ten minutes later the
score was level. Fisher was again fouled in the box and as
before Leon Dussard successfully converted the penalty.
The match saw no further scoring and the record breaking run of
victories at the start of a league season came to an end.
October 2nd
Donal O'Sullivan has been named as the
Southall Player of the Month for September.
October 1st
Two goals from the O'Sullivan brothers
helped Southall maintain their record breaking 100% start to
this season's league campaign with a 2-1 win away to North
Greenford United.
Southall were again weakened without Steve Macenzie, Byron
Glasgow, Chris Barrett, Craig Worrall and Alan Johnson but
welcomed back Jason Hartles in goal. Leon Dussard had to be
utilised as centre back.
The game was only three minutes old when Leon Fisher was fouled
in the penalty area. Shane O'Sullivan made no mistake with the
resultant penalty to give Southall an early lead. Southall began
to take control of the game and despite good possession the
visitors were unable to add to their tally.
The second half continued in much the same vein as the first.
Southall were again guilty of that one pass too many when a shot
at goal may well have proved fruitful. A two goal cushion was
achieved after 72 minutes when Donal O'Sullivan rounded off a
first class move. Good one touch football saw the ball worked
from Andre Robinson to Shane O'Sullivan and then to Leon Fisher
who produced a superb cross for Donal O'Sullivan to head firmly
home.
Six minutes later North Greenford were right back in it. with
Lukeman heading the ball past Hartles. Encouraged by this
success the home side pressed very hard for an equaliser but the
Southall team remained resolute and the game ended without any
further score.
