ENGLAND C
Grahame Rowley has kindly sent some a brief report on the England C game against the East of Scotland last weekend, in which Alty's Shaun Densmore played.

East of Scotland 0 England C 1

"A tightly contested game on a swelteringly hot afternoon saw England C go into their game against Ireland on Wednesday with a narrow 1-0 win behind them. In truth, the East of Scotland side had the better chances and were unlucky to lose the game to a 90th minute deflected shot from Max Porter (Rushden & Diamonds).

The starting line up was:-

Josh Mimms – competent display. Dominated box.
Curtis Obeng – Very fast on the overlap – caused the Scotland defence a few problems.
Sean Newton – Worked hard down the left . Nothing fancy.
Brian Saah – Solid display at the back.
Steven Gregory – Sprayed ball around from just in front of back four.
Kyle McFadzean (Capt) – Had the first real shot on goal after 38 minutes.
Amari Morgan-Smith – Very tricky winger who had the beating of his man.
Andrew Fleming – Improved as the game progressed especially when further forward.
Alex Rodman – Tried hard but first touch could be improved.
Sam Deering – My Man of the Match – never stopped running.
Ryan Hall – Average performance, tried very hard.
In the second half:-

Scott Garner replaced Brian Saah – Took over as captain with a very solid display
Rossi Jarvis replaced Steven Gregory – Not as competent as Gregory in this role
Shaun Densmore replaced Curtis Obeng – Biased view but played well & cleared shot off line.
Matthew Barnes-Homer replaced Rodman – Worked hard but well contained by centre backs
Max Porter replaced Amari Morgan-Smith – Good shot for goal
Dale Roberts replaced Josh Mimms - didn't like being crowded out at corners
Tom Cadmore replaced Kyle McFadzean – Strong at the back".

Ireland 1-2 England C

England C beat Ireland 2-1 last night. Andy Fleming and Max Porter were the scorers. Before the match, the FA reported that "Two players from outside the Conference top flight make the starting line-up. Alfreton's Kyle McFadzean retains the captain's armband after an impressive performance last Saturday in Edinburgh and he is joined by Ilkeston Town's Amari Morgan-Smith, a late call-up to the squad following the withdrawal of Matt Green who picked up a knock in the Conference Promotion Final.

England C Squad: Roberts (Rushden & Diamonds), Densmore (Altrincham), Newton (AFC Telford United), Cadmore (Hayes & Yeading United), Gregory (AFC Wimbledon), McFadzean (C) (Alfreton Town), Morgan-Smith (Ilkeston Town), Fleming (Wrexham) Barnes-Homer (Luton Town), Deering (Oxford United), Porter (Rushden & Diamonds) - Substitutes Garner (Mansfield Town), Mimms (York City), Hall (Bromley), Rodman (Tamworth), Jarvis (Luton Town) Saah (Cambridge United), Obeng (Wrexham)".

After the game, the FA Ireland reported that "England got the upperhand over the Republic of Ireland in tonight's match at the Waterford RSC thanks to a goal in each half. The visitors were two goals to the good by the time substitute Paddy Madden replied for the Irish. That goal on 67 minutes sparked a revival by Paul Doolin's side but they were unable to capitalise on their territorial advantage".
