Match Reports
Sun 8th Nov - Triumph 5 - 2 Rugby Town
Today’s game started in wet conditions but that didn’t deter the boys from giving one of the best performances of the campaign. The game started equally and for the first 10mins both sides were checking each other out with chances coming at both ends.
It was
The midfield were monumental de Vos and P McInally began to dictate and put their mark on the game. De Vos was like a man possessed here there and everywhere an unrestrained force with McInally the steadying influence.
Defensively we no longer look jittery J McInally and Stock marshalling the defence in such a manner that you always expect them to come away with the ball. This then gives the full backs time and room to drive forward. Both Grant and Howarth today were exceptional especially Howarth who has had little game time.
But it was
A riposte before half time was needed and indeed it came on the stroke of half time. There are times when a lot needs to be said in the team talks especially at half time, lately though that hasn’t been the case, a few words here and there a pointer or two and let them get on with it.
The second half was Triumph
through and through the game was taken by the scruff of the neck and
dictated by Triumph. The inevitable
equaliser
came and with it the full rewards of the day.
The game was won by goals from Miller 2, Wood 2 opening his account for the season and de Vos 1 also opening his account.
Fiander came on and stepped
straight into left back doggedly tackling and venturing forward to give
support to the others. In all this we sometimes forget
Unbeaten in 4 not a bad run bring on Leamington Brakes next week.

Sun 27th Sept - Warwick Jrs 0 - 0 Triumph
With half the team lost some where in Warwick with 5 minutes to go, it wasn't the best preparation for a tough away leg, but boy, were the lads up for it! Other than two points lost, we were again the better side as we have been in all of our games so far this season, unfortunately we just could not finish.
From the first whistle we were sharper with the ball and in the tackle and there were some tackles! All over the pitch we won our own battles and after the first five minutes we were on top, with some slick football. The first half was end to end at times, with Jack and Jordan keeping both Warwick strikers quiet, sniffing out any danger, Daniel and Charlie were on top of their game using the ball, after winning it and allowing us to break forward.
Phillip is starting to pull the strings in midfield with Kyle always looking for a forward pass to get us on the attack, with James returning on the right and Jacob down the left we were a constant threat from midfield. Thomas and Jake held the ball up well and worked their back four with their movement, but unfortunately didn’t get any joy with Warwick's goal keeper pulling of some good saves.
The second half started much the same as the first half with Triumph having most of the play and creating chances, Scott was again solid with some quality saves and quick distribution starting the attacks, Adam had a bright half up front and just needs to get a goal and then I'm sure more will follow. For the last 10 minutes we were camped in their half, creating chance after chance but just could not get the winner, I was pleased with yet another fine performance from the squad and the lads should be proud of themselves for the effort they have been putting into their games so far.
I therefore look forward to this weekend's game, with the confidence of getting our first victory – Well done lads.
PS Could you all bring your shooting boots to training on Wednesday please :o)

Sun 20th Sept - Rugby Town Jrs 4 - 2 Triumph (Cup)
What can I say about Sunday’s performance
other than we did ourselves proud against higher league opposition, in
my opinion there wasn’t a lot between the two team's, football wise and
regarding the effort put in by both teams.
We started brightly with a solid first 20 minutes as the half unfolded
we were put under some pressure from Rugby Town’s midfield and forward's
with Scott being called into action more than once, with a bit of
pressure building Scott made absolute top draw save, low
down to his right hand side, flicking the ball over the bar from
ground level. Unfortunately Scott couldn’t
do anything about the first goal which was put in after a bit of a
scramble in the box, our defence worked as a unit keeping Rugby Town to
a minimum of chance's, going in at half time 1-0 and playing without
fear the boy’s were more than still in the game.
In the second half Rugby Town got the rub of the green and put their
chance's away making it 3-0 in the first 10 mins, but we dug in and
started to turn the game with a few chance's coming in quick succession,
with some nice midfield play by Phillip, Kyle and Adam the ball was
released for Jacob to run on to and was challenged inside the box, all I
will say is that if he had gone down instead of trying to stay on his
feet the referee would of have had to given a penalty, but he was honest
and got no reward. A few minute's later we did get a penalty and after a
brief debate between the player's Kyle stepped up and tucked it away in
the bottom corner. The whole
team were now lifted by the first goal of the season and the lads went
about their task with new
vigour, putting pressure on the ball and giving
The game finished 4-2 but all of our boys could hold there head's up
high having put in such a gritty TEAM performance. Scott got M.O.M after
making some fine saves and one Petr Cech would have been proud of.
Jordan and Jack seem to be forming a solid partnership at the back with
Charlie and Alex sorting the wide players in the first half. Josh came
on in the second and had a very good 35 mins, also the midfield looked
strong with Phillip, Kyle, Jake and Jacob moving the ball well and
interchanging nicely. I
changed the team around a bit so all of the players got some part of the
game with Adam getting better each game he play's.
So we move on to the next game against Warwick
Juniors with confidence and hope of collecting three point's.... Well
done lad's see you all at training.

Sun 13th Sept - Rugby Town 1 - 0 Triumph
Mugged,
robbed put whatever adjective you like to today's result but whichever
way you look at it the result was not a true reflection of the game.
I defy anyone to tell me that you deserve to loose when you've had the
ball in the net twice, hit the bar once and been denied a stone
wall penalty.
Decisions they say always level themselves out across a game or season
that can only happen when it involves the referee alone, you
cannot legislate for the opposition linesman's decisions. Admittedly we
were clearly offside on half a dozen
occasions but they were obvious, it is painful to be adjudged
offside when your not interfering with play - referees should learn to
over rule.
Enough of the moaning I don't want to detract from the boys remarkable
performance today.
We lifted ourselves from last week and set about our task well. The
early exchanges were equal but from about halfway through the first half
Triumph began to play good attacking football stringing a series of
passes together resulting in Miller hitting the cross bar. Defensively
we looked sound, positionally we worked well together with
each of the back four either pushing forward with confidence or
delivering telling passes to release the wide men.
The midfield developed throughout the game taking a grip upon it, which
then allowed freedom for others.
For the second week running we created chances this time, however, we
crafted them with hard work and skill. The forward line is one that I
consider is made up of two front runners being supported by two wide men
and the central midfielders when that combines you get results, it
did combine today and that is where the chances came from unfortunately
we didn't get the result we wanted.
You can never forget your goalkeeper and in ours we have a solid team
member. With that position safe it begins to give confidence to others.
We are
still blending with each other I still
say that it will take a couple more games to fully settle down
but be assured we will settle down.
The results will come so let's not get down beat.
MOM - Miller
Well done boys.
Sun 6th Sept - Warwick Jrs 2 - 0 Triumph
The opening game of the season ended with a disappointing result losing
2-0 to Warwick Juniors.
With a new squad in place and virtually at full strength Triumph started
the game having played two friendlies, winning one and losing the other,
but today would suggest that we need more time to bed in and become a
unit.
At times we were all at sea in midfield and in defence looking like
strangers and creating our own problems.
We looked sluggish in areas and the team's fitness was second to
Warwick's.
BUT
The positive side is that we created something like 10 chances from
attacking play. The chances were spread across a variety of players,
which is another positive as we did not rely upon one individual.
We continued to persevere and worked hard at times.
The result does not reflect the overall game but suggests that there was
a great difference between the sides, that was not the case, we have
work to do to put things right but with the standard of the personnel on
board we can do it.
It is only the first game of the season DON'T GET DOWN HEARTED BE
POSITIVE and let's put this behind us.
