Joseph Bennett

HT 1-1

Heyford scored as early as the 5th minute when the Heyford winger cross suddenly became a shot that evaded the keeper to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
This setback rather than dent Khalsa actually galvanised them when a flowing move involving Miller and Carvalho saw Joe Bennett get ahead of the defender to steer the ball home with the outside of his boot to level the scores.

Khalsa Reserves 2 Weldon Reserves 1
Jamie Mclellan
Cliff Milne

HT 0-1

Khalsa made the short trip to tackle unbeaten Weldon Reserves for there 1st fixture since 5th December.

This goal did little to dent Khalsa confidence as they poured forward on many occasions with Dennis Plamer & Jamie Mclellan both going close again.
The game stayed 1-0 to Weldon at the break though Khalsa had enough possession and chances to at least be level at the break.
The second half saw a galvanised khalsa come out and within 15 minutes of the re-start deservedly draw level with a good turn and strike from Jamie mclellan to make it 1-1.
Khalsa then produced further chances from set pieces and neat play but just couldn't find the winner.

Weldon then pressed khalsa back as they went for the win but in the last minute khalsa broke out and sub Cliff Milne out-muscled the Weldon defender before rolling the ball into the bottom right corner.
This proved to be the last action of the game as Khalsa netted a well deserved and earned win.

Andrew Cox (2) 1 pen

HT 1-0

Khalsa arrived at Kislingbury looking to complete a league double over 3rd placed side.

Good chances were spurned in the early exchanges with Cox, Carvalho and Miller all going close.

The second half immediately saw Kislingbury put Khalsa on the back foot and in the 48th minute they drew level with a header from the corner.

Up stepped the Kislingbury forward who managed to sky the effort to leave the scores deadlocked.
Khalsa replaced midfielder Dean King with Paul Britton who made a valuable contribution with some neat touches and passes.
Khalsa missed further chances with Cox, Carvalho going close in the second half.
Khalsa with ten minutes to go replaced Stephen Miller with Mark Watson to change things.
A late chance for Kislingbury was well held by Shaun Allen who in turn sent Victor Carvalho clear, Carvalho beat the man with pace and just as he was about to put the cross in he was bought down leaving the referee no alternative but to give Khalsa a penalty.
Striker Andrew Cox stepped up to send the keeper the wrong way and give Khalsa a 2-1 win and immediately the referee blew the final whistle.
A great win as Khalsa move out of the bottom two for the first time this season.

COUNTY CUP DREAM ENDS IN EXTRA TIME FOR KHALSA RESERVES

2009-12-04T14:00:00.003Z

Khalsa Reserves 0 Irchester Town Reserves 1 (After Extra Time)

HT 0-0

A match played under the floodlights in the county cup ended with an undeserved loss for Khalsa.
The match started closely with both teams canceling each other out with very few opportunities for either team with an early injury to Liam Bradley and a horrible head injury to Joe Bennett disrupting Khalsa's flow.
This soon changed when both teams settled and it became an end-to-end contest.
Some good chances were missed by both teams and half time came with no score.
The second half was again an end-to-end affair with no goals to show for it before the Irchester captain was sent off for a potential leg breaking tackle on Tony Duncan.
Extra time was forced and Khalsa were looking for the all important goal when Craig Loughran was sent off for a second bookable offence.
This was then made even worse when the Irchester forward unleashed an unstoppable 25 yard strike into the top corner.
Khalsa then pressed for the equaliser but just couldn't manage to get themselves back into the game.

Team:- Murray, Mcpherson, Duncan McCabe, Bradley, Hall, Britton, Loughran, King, Walker, Bennett. (subs Watson on for Bennett; Forsyth on for Bradley)

Khalsa Man Of The Match - Craig Hall, brilliant debut from the skillful winger.

KEY DECISIONS DENY KHALSA

2009-12-04T13:52:00.003Z

Khalsa 0 Weldon United 1

HT 0-1

Khalsa despite falling behind in the 4th minute of this tight contest felt they deserved to take something out of this tight game.
Two penalty appeals one in each half somehow went against Khalsa but the main talking point was the Andrew Cox chip that hit the net and was then hooked by the defender, which was somehow not given by the referee and the less from convincing linesman.
Weldon held on to take the points and continue to lead the way.

Team:- Everitt, Spencer, Carr, Park, Saini, Caine, Gasson, Morgan, Carvalho, Cox, Miller
(subs Birk for Everitt)

Stephen McCabe then had a header cleared off of the line before latching on the end of a quality Dean King delivery at the back post for the equaliser.
Half time then came at a bad time as Khalsa were piling on the pressure only to concede in the first minute of the second half from a fortunate 25 yard strike.
Another quickfire goal from the home side then extended their advantage to 3-1.A spirited spell from Khalsa brought them back to 3-3 with goals from Liam Bradley and Paul Britton.

2009-11-17T16:11:00.002Z

Khalsa 1 Heyford Athletic 2
Andy Wilson

HT 1-0

A game dominated by blustery windy and rainy conditions did little to help both sides before Khalsa fell to defeat at the death of the game.

The second half saw Khalsa squander two good opportunities before Heyford were awarded a penalty on 75 minutes.
The game looked like ending in a draw but somehow the referees 6 minutes of injury time denied Khalsa when Heyford nicked a winner.

Tony Walker

HT 0-0

Khalsa produced a stunning performance to end Kislingbury's unbeaten league run with a great 2-0 win.

KHALSA FAIL TO PUT MILTON RESERVES TO THE SWORD

2009-09-30T14:25:00.003Z

Khalsa Reserves 0 Milton Reserves 0

FC Khalsa Reserves entertained Milton Reserves and came up short after missing a flurry of opportunities.
Khalsa started the match with real fire in there belly after having lost there last game and they looked like they might get an early breakthrough, but missed a handful of chances with Victor Carvalho going close and then Geordie forcing the keeper into another sharp save from the rebound.
Shortly after Geordie latched onto a pass after Victor Carvalho showed a little bit of magic down the wing and crossed for Geordie but he couldn't get his shot off quick enough and the keeper was forced into another save. Khalsa were playing some great stuff with Dean King, Paul Britton and Craig Loughran bossing the central midfield area and it nearly paid off after a Craig Loughran shot hit the bar.
Although Khalsa had all of the possession, Milton did have a few chances of there own but were denied by an inspired Dave Singh who was forced to play in goals for the day.
Into the second half and Khalsa kept up with relentless attack and were denied a goal after Dean King was caught offside before lobbing the keeper. The chances kept on coming for Khalsa and Jerry Burns hit a sweet left footed shot which went narrowly wide and Paul Britton had a few efforts from range but they never really troubled the keeper.
Victor Carvalho had the best chance of the game when he was one-on-one with the Milton keeper and tried to go around the keeper only to run the ball out of play. Then in the dying seconds Victor Carvalho latched onto a through pass from Dean King only to be caught by the defender as he looked to get his shot off.A great performance from the lads but lacked clinical finishing.

Team:- Singh, Taylor, McCabe, Park, Bradley, Burns, Britton, King(c), Loughran, Carvalho, Watson (subs:- Burke for Burns & Mcpherson for Watson)
Man Of The Match:- Craig Loughran - A great performance in midfield and upfront.

From the restart Young striker David Sheridan received a throw in from Jazz Saini to turn and lash a stunning 30 yard strike into the top right hand corner to give Khalsa a deserved lead.

From there Andrew Cox missed a hat trick of chances and Callum Muir fired wide to extend the lead.

Khalsa for the first time this season had gone in front and were determined not to let things slip, but were punished right on half time as a long ball was turned in by Roade to level matters at the break.

Khalsa came out in the second half and went back in front when Andrew Noble teed up David Sheridan to smash home from the edge of the box for 2-1.

Andrew Noble then turned provider again with a clever ball into Andrew Cox who fired home to make it 3-1

Striker Stephen Miller then lifted a nice ball into Andrew Cox who controlled the ball rounded the defender and curled the ball into the right hand corner for 4-1 and his 2nd of the game.

Andrew Noble should have made it 5-1 but his nice chip dropped the other side of the crossbar.

Roade had the last word with a late consolation but the day belonged to Khalsa and a performance and win dedicated to Dean Clark.

2009-09-25T10:54:00.003Z

Khalsa Reserves 2 O.N Chenecks 3
Victor Carvalho
Mark Watson

HT 2-2

Khalsa reserves were shocked at home after being defeated 3-2 at home to O.N Chennecks.
Khalsa never really started the game and against the run of play, they took the lead after V. Carvalho slotted the ball home.However it never really kick started anything from the home team and O.N Chennecks drew level shortly after.
Chennecks then took the lead to make it 2-1 to the visitors and it seemed as though the game may be won with Khalsa still failing to wake up.But after a nice little piece of possession, they gradually started getting into the game and were rewarded when Mark Watson (Geordie) managed to poke home the ball after a scramble in the box to draw the side’s level.
Khalsa seemed to be doing more in the 2nd half but couldn’t make any of the chances pay, and were then dealt with a blow when captain Dean King was forced off due to injury.
After this, O.N Chennecks then took the initiative and then took the lead to make it 3-2.
The Khalsa heads went down and this time the boys couldn’t manage to raise there game and were dealt there first defeat of the season season.Poor game all-round from the home team and fully deserved the defeat. A lot of improvement is needed to kick start this team in the coming weeks.

Team:- Murray, Taylor, Park, McCabe, Bradley, Burke, Britton, King (c), Ofoshune, Carvalho, Watson.

2009-09-21T16:39:00.007Z

Khalsa 1 Milton 1

Andrew Cox

HT 0-1

Khalsa for the third game in a row had to come from behind to net a well earned away point versus Milton.

Khalsa for there early possession missed a host of chances with Noble, Sheridan going closest to breaking the deadlock.

Noble then unselfishly bought down an excellent cross from Dean Clark and elected to push the ball into Malone's path rather than go for goal which looked a better option.

However the home side took the lead after 40 minutes when an in swinging corner from the left was turned in by there frontman to make it 0-1 to Milton.

For all there early dominance Khalsa had fell to a sucker punch with half time approaching.

However a halftime change saw Andrew Cox replace David Sheridan and within five minutes of the re-start he fired home into the bottom left hand corner to give Khalsa a deserved equaliser.

Further chances created with Dean Clark pulling the strings and Darren Malone patrolling the centre midfield area.

The defensive unit so far this season has played well despite put under pressure at times.

However another point for Khalsa making it three straight draws in the league.

Team:- Mann, Mcluckie, Malone, Muir, Carr(c), Clark, Saini, Spencer, Sheridan, Noble, Walker.

2009-09-07T13:16:00.015Z

Khalsa 2 Harpole 2

David Sheridan

Andrew Cox

HT 1-2

Khalsa came away from Harpole with a well deserved point on Saturday as the new season kicked into gear.

Khalsa in the first half looked nervous and shaky with passes and clearances going all over the place.

Champions Harpole went in front when the winger converted to put them 1-0 up.

To be fair nothing less than the home side deserved after putting Khalsa rearguard under immense pressure.

Constant long throws and channel play giving them opportunities.

However just when it looked like Harpole had a firm grip on the game, Khalsa hit back when a lovely free kick from Calum Muir was headed on by Darren Malone and young winger David Sheridan half volleyed into the bottom corner to level matters at 1-1.

Though you would expect this to galvanise Khalsa it had an opposite effect almost immediately Harpole took the lead after a mix up in defence and the Harpole winger showed great composure to chip the ball over the advancing Lewis Everitt.

So at the break Khalsa were 2-1 down after a tactical re-shuffle Khalsa came flying out of the blocks to sting the Champions with a lovely goal within 32 seconds of the restart with David Sheridan beating two men playing a ball down the line to Dean Clark whose clever back heel fell into Sheridan who with his cross field pass to Andrew Cox gave him the chance to bring it down and strike into the bottom right corner for a well deserved equaliser.

This time though it did give Khalsa the belief they could snatch victory with chances going begging at both ends though in the end they had to settle for a 2-2 draw.

A good game and a well deserved point for Khalsa.
Team:- Everitt, Carr(c), Mcluckie, Saini, Spencer, Muir, Sheridan, Malone, Noble, Clark, Cox
