Hethersett ‘B’ 0  Brandon Lads 6
Brandon started of well with Harvey Robertson  and Chris Wilson linking up well at the front supported by Tommy Greenacre playing his roving midfield/defensive position very well. Brandon struggled to find the back of the net with numerous chances being well saved by the Heatherset goalkeeper. Brandon had to defend strongly on occasions due to a lapse in concentration at times .Josh west making some excellent saves to deny Heatherset, 9 minutes in and Brandon got the break they deserved Tommy passing the ball through to Chris who crossed the ball to Harvey who found the back of the net.  Brandon started to dominate the game now which gave the team confidence, Chris and Kia now up front causing Heatherset problems with some good football ,Josh had to make a fantastic save when Heatherset broke through on goal.
Another change up front saw Harvey and Reece now attacking Heatherset and it wasn’t long before Harvey got his second and some good link up saw Reece get a deserved goal.  Brandon were now getting all the ball on the field with Tommy seeming to be everywhere on the pitch soon enabled Harvey to bag 2 more goals making his tally of four for the game and kia scoring a well taken goal at the end made the final score 6 .0 to Brandon a good way to end the season for the boys.  mom Josh West.

Brandon Lads 1  Litcham 6
The League runners-up and trophy finalists Litcham visited the rec today and Brandon done a good defensive display in the first quarter only conceding the one goal, with Harvey Robertson and Chris Wilson squandering opportunities to score.  The second quarter saw Litcham add one more goal before Chris Wilson scored one for Brandon from a long goal kick taken by Tommy greenacre.  The much superior Litcham then added four more in the last two quarters as Brandon went into a defensive meltdown.  Brandon played some nice passing at times but against this sort of opposition the team needs to compete for the whole match. Well done to Litcham and we wish them well in the trophy final.  MOM Harvey Robertson.

Brandon Lads 3  Hethersett ‘B’ 1
The game started with Brandon attacking from the offset with little defending to be done.  Harvey Robertson and Ollie Gritty combining well to give Hethersett some early problems.  It was half way through the first Quarter that saw Tommy Geenacre unleash a venomous bullet like shot from halfway that the keeper could only get his fingertips on before finding the back of the net.  Brandon had found some momentum now and Harvey Robertson soon made it two with a well taken goal. Liam Miller was having a good game putting in some good last man clearances.  Hethersett got a goal back when their midfielder lobbed the ball goal wards and the bounce deceived Josh West in goal to go over his head.  Lewis Kent, Jack Hills and Liam Miller then had to defend to keep Hethersett out.  Reece Goetsch came on and Brandon regained control of the game again.  In the third quarter Harvey Robertson took on three players before firing a ball across the goal mouth for Ollie Gritty to slide in for goal number three.  The game became a midfield battle in the last quarter and Brandon hung onto the win. Brandon were still not at their best today and will need to improve for the visit of the league leaders next week.  MOM Harvey Robertson

Scole 2  Brandon Lads 2
Brandon were hoping to reverse the home defeat by Scole as they have been in good form. Midway through the first quarter Lewis Kent’s long throw put Kier Leech through on goal and he squeezed the ball through the keepers hands to make it 0-1.  Brandon were struggling up the hill and a poor goal kick resulted in the equalizer.  Josh West made a great save from an in swinging corner to keep the scores level.  Harvey Robertson and Tommy Greenacre were brought on to liven things up but it was the home team who took the lead after Josh West had made two more good saves.  Chris Wilson found himself one on one with the keeper but blasted the ball over the bar.  Chris had another chance superbly saved by the Scole keeper.  Shannon Odebrecht was called on to defend which she done well.  In the fourth quarter both teams neutralised each other as the game went into stalemate until the Scole keeper took a poor goal kick which Harvey Robertson latched onto before firing a beckhamess shot past the keeper for the equaliser and his 27^th goal of the season.  Liam Miller who didn’t get on was superb in encouraging the team.  The team didn’t play very well today after previous performances of recent weeks, but they say a good team picks up points even if not playing well so we cannot complain.  Well done to the ref for a good game.  MOM Kier Leech.

Brandon Lads 3  East Harling 3
This Game was end to end for the first two quarters with Kier Leech and Chris Wilson causing the Harling defence some problems, likewise East Harling’s Number 10 was causing Brandon ’s defence problems with Josh West in goal making several great saves. Lewis Kent and Shannon Odebrecht were defending well when they were called on.  Into the third quarter and this is where all the action happened.  Harvey Robertson and Ollie Gritty were introduced to the game and it wasn’t long before they made an impact.  Lewis Kent took one of his legendary long throws over the defence for Harvey Robertson to control the ball and put over the keeper for goal number one. Two minutes later Ollie Gritty passed to Harvey Robertson who done a quick one two with Lewis Kent and was in on goal with just the keeper to beat.  The clubs leading marksman made no mistake and we were two up.  As with all games there is defending to be done and Brandon relented in this department for five minutes to find themselves 3-2 down with the Harling number 10 bagging two well taken goals.  Into the last minute of the third period and there was a scramble in the Harling area before Lewis Kent poked in his first league goal and Brandon ’s third.  The last quarter saw chances at both ends go begging and Josh West make two more superb saves before the final whistle and a 3-3 draw.  A great game of football by two evenly matched teams made it a delight to watch.  MOM Lewis Kent.

Brandon Lads 4  New Buckenham 1
Brandon started slowly, but still applied good pressure on an eager New Buckenham side.Some good chances were missed as Brandon found their feet, made possible by the brilliant midfield play by Tommy Greenacre who has now found his niche on the field.Tommy slotted numerous passes through to Oliver Gritty and Harvey Robertson and in the last few seconds of the first half Harvey finally slotted the ball into the back of the net . 
The second half started with a change for Brandon upfront Chris Wilson and Kier Leech now in control of the Brandon attacks.New buckenham came at Brandon but were stopped by some good saves from Josh West and great defending by Shannon Odebrecht but a lapse in concentration let New Buckenham score a very well taken goal. Brandon came back straight away, once again Tommy was the provider of the ball into the Brandon attack and Chris Wilson had no hesitation in slamming the ball into the net which now settled the team.  All the team were now playing good flowing football and Chris soon netted his second.Some more tactical changes by Mick Miller led to Harvey and Chris now linking up to create some good chances allowing Chris to get his hat trick.It was nice to see the side playing so well with Liam miller now being solid in defence and josh saving the shots which got through to him. Kier leech and Oliver were now attacking and were unfortunate not to net a few goals each.  MOM Harvey Robertson ,but the whole team deserved this honour today especially Tommy for his non stop commitment , Chris for his Hat trick and the rest of the team for their spirit.

Hethersett 'B' 1  Brandon Lads 9
What a great start, Hethersett kicked off, Harvey Robertson won the ball, went on a run before passing to Ollie Gritty who fired in for the first goal.  It took all of 15 seconds.  Brandon were soon two up when the same pair passed their way through the defence for Harvey to score.  Hethersett were not lying down and a shot had Josh West in the goal beaten but luckily hit the post and out for a corner.  Shannon Odebrecht then cleared off the line with Josh being beaten. Harvey Robertson then went on his now famous mazy runs before slotting past the keeper. It was Brandon’s kick off for the second period and Harvey Robertson chose to shoot and blow me down a bullet shot in the back off the net.  The inspirational midfield figure off Tommy Greenacre then rifled one in to make it 5-0.  Chris Wilson who had only been on for a couple of minutes then scored just before half time.  Lewis Kent was brought on for the second half bolstering the midfield and making use of his excellent long throws.  It was business as usual for Brandon as Harvey Robertson went on another run before squeezing a shot past the keeper. Hethersett who had a never say die attitude then scored from a mix up in defence.  Liam Miller who was on in defence then put in three brilliant tackles to deny Hethersett.  Brandon won a free kick 20 yards out and captain Robertson curled a delightful goal in the far top corner for his fifth of the match.  Not to let the travelling fans down Harvey again had a free kick 25 yards out, this time he took a ferocious shot which was like an exorcet missile too strong for the keeper to hold and completed his double hat trick.  Hethersett came back again and had another shot hit the post before the final whistle was blown.  A mention to the home referee who had a great game.  MOM Harvey Robertson ( who else could it be ).

Brandon Lads 2  Lakenheath 5
Brandon entertained lakenheath who have only lost one game all season and the size of the crowd reflected this.  The match started with Brandon defending deep and by the end of the first quarter they had done their job as the match was all square.  The second quarter saw lakenheath apply pressure and despite good defending by Lewis, Shannon and great saves by Josh in the goal, lakenheath took a three goal lead. The third quarter saw chances missed at both ends before Ollie and Harvey passed there way through the lakenheath defence and Ollie screamed one in to make it 3-1. The fourth quarter saw Brandon defending again with Jack, Lewis and Joseph all putting in some great tackles but lakenheath added two more goals to make it five.  Harvey made one of his mazy runs and pile-drived one in  to score a consolation goal late on to make it 5-2.  It was nice to see ex pre-season player Sam Buckley score two for lakenheath.  The team should take heart from this game as their opponents are a class act and if chances were taken it could easily have been 5-5.  MOM Lewis Kent

Mundford 2  Brandon Lads 2
Brandon visited Munford and played out an exciting match. After the previous weeks performance against swaffham the team were keen to impress again, with some great attacking and defensive play. Brandon took the lead when a flighted corner kick from Harvey Robertson found the feet of Tommy Greenacre who had no hesitation in firing the ball into the back of the net. Munford were soon on level terms and the game was very evenly matched with both teams playing good passing football. The partnership of Oliver gritty and Harvey Robertson was working well, with the rest of the team following suit. Great defending play from Tommy and jack along with some great saves by josh west keeping the score level. Munford edged ahead but Brandon kept their heads. In the last ten minutes Brandon were awarded a free kick which was coolly taken by Harvey who slotted the ball into the back of the net. Final score was 2.2, which was a fair reflection on an evenly matched game. A good all round team performance from Brandon.  MOM Harvey Robertson.

Brandon Lads 6  Swaffham 0
Brandon eagerly awaited this return match after losing 5-3 in the away fixture.  The lads started the better and it was plain to see were up for this game.  The first goal was soon to come in the first quarter, Lewis kents throw in was flicked on by Harvey Robertson to Chris Wilson who slotted home from close range.  A few moments later the same trio combined again for a simple tap in for Chris.  Swaffham had breakaway chances but the great defending and goalkeeping from Shannon Odebrecht and Josh West kept them firmly out.  In the second quarter Harvey Robertson took a fierce corner which the Swaffham keeper could not hold and we scored again.  Brandon made changes at half time bringing on Ollie Gritty and Tommy Greenacre and both these players got stuck in with some grunt to keep the game at stalemate through the third period.  Kier Leech came on for the last quarter and this is when Brandon really upped the pace.  From an Ollie Gritty corner, Kier Leech got on the end of the ball and coolly chipped the keeper with his left foot in to the far corner. 4-0 up and the home fans couldn’t believe it. The game was to get better after Harvey Robertson dispossessed a defender and clinically slotted past the keeper. Straight from the kick-off Harvey again applied good pressure, got the ball and rifled a shot in the net for his hatrick and Brandon’s sixth.  Brandon then ushered the game to the end for a great win.  The squad played great today and should gain great confidence from this victory against one of the better teams in this league.  Thanks also to the referee who didn’t have a lot to do but did it brilliantly.  MOM Josh West

Harling 1  Brandon Lads 0
Brandon visited East Harling and played out a very tight match.  Brandon had their chances to score but were unable to finish well and with the game at deadlock Kier Leech was brought on as an additional attacker to win the game.  With Brandon now pushing for the win they were caught on the break by Harling who made them pay with a well-taken goal.   Although Brandon lost this closely matched game they will feel that their performance was first class.

Brandon Lads 3  New Buckenham 1
Brandon hosted New Buckenham and put in a fine display of teamwork, led by their inspirational captain Harvey Robertson.  Robertson would go on to claim Man of the Match for his performance that saw him grab a hatrick of goals.  Kier Leech and Reece Goestch went close to scoring with their efforts and at the back Brandon looked solid with Shannon Odebrecht being a rock in defence.  Josh West in goal for the home team also performed well and Brandon will look to build upon this performance next week at Harling.

Brandon Lads 1  Hethersett 'B' 0
Brandon put in an improved performance at home to Hethersett 'B'.  The good passing link ups between Ollie Gritty and Harvey Robertson resulted in Brandon taking the lead after a goalless first half when Gritty's pass found an open Robertson who needed no further invitation to score.  Kier came on for the last ten minutes and had a couple of chances to extend the lead for Brandon but was denied by the post.  Defensively Brandon were rock solid at the back, Shannon Odebrecht getting stuck in and winning challenges and Josh West in goal put in a fine performance too.  Credit to the visiting 'keeper who pulled off some fine saves which prevented Brandon capitalising on their one goal lead which made for a tense finale.  MoM Harvey Robertson.

Brandon Lads 2  Toftwood 1
The Brandon Lads Under 8 squad, in their first competitive match, hosted Toftwood and came from behind to win 2-1.
They conceded a rather scruffy goal to the visitors when the ball was not cleared from their defence and gifted Toftwood a free shot which they tucked away easily against a static ‘keeper.  Going behind was the shock that Brandon needed and Josh West, in goal for Brandon, twice made heroic saves to keep the game close going into half time.
After the break Brandon equalised through a well-taken goal from Harvey Robertson.  Brandon were now in top gear and were creating good chances with Harvey twice hitting the crossbar and Lewis Kent putting just wide into the side netting.  Man of the match Ollie Gritty controlled a pass from Harvey to score and put Brandon ahead.  It was a lead that they were to keep to the end, assisted by Jack Hills clearing off his goal line more than once.
