The Gallery 2005/06

An array of (mainly) action shots from the past season, with many thanks to contributions from The Worthing Herald (WH), The West Sussex County Times (CT), and of course the splendid Terry Buckman (TB). Highly recommended is a visit to Terry's own site, a veritable treasure trove of Sussex soccer action - click the link below to get there.

Storrington v St Aubin Le Cloud

Players from both sides line-up before Swans inaugural European match, against some old friends and some new ones from France. The vin rouge the opposition tucked into before the game surely had nothing to do with the scoreline, which ended 7-2 to the Swans...

The teams line up for the national anthems. No doubt which group sung the more heartily.

These two jokers showed everybody the beautiful game. Rumours that Messrs Hyde and McKaig had also laid into the plonk were surely unfounded.

Reserve Cup Final (TB)

'The Little Chap' Andy Beaumont shows how a low centre of gravity can assist one's balance.

MOM Chewy Gledhill punches clear while Matt palmer makes a silly face and plays with an invisible skipping rope.

Matt Bridle tries to get the Hokey-Cokey started...

The Streak

Superboy Watton leaves the defence in his wake and prepares to curl home the winner!

Shoreham 0 Storrington 1 - The heroes celebrate!

3rd XI lift the Tony Kopp Cup

Rob Adsett shows off the trophy after the thrilling shoot-out - more pics on the 3rd team page.

Littlehampton v Swans, Brighton Charity Cup (TB)

Matt Bridle cleanly wins the ball

Rico and Golds' Darren Akmenkalns hold hands. Ahh.

Pickford continues with his mid-match popmobility as another Golds forward scoots by.

"YIDS!! STICK IT IN!!"

"Oh bugger"

0 - 0 with five minutes left, the ball bobbles against Longy's shin in the area....

"oh bugger"

Home & Away v Broadbridge Heath (CT)

Nozza in typical action during the home win...

Davis admires another perfectly timed Pickford tackle

While Simmo bravely repels an ambush by a flying blue ninja. We lost 3-0.

Swans v St Francis Rangers (TB)

One For The Ladies... and Saints' Chris Maynard looks equally impressed with Griff's six-pack.

A colectors item this - Longy outsprints Saints' fleet-of-foot forward Sam Jeremiah

Jeremiah again, losing out to Simmo. How often does Yids sneak into the background of these shots?

Griffin's glancing header flies wide. Should have left it to the skip. Oh look theres Yids again.

Whitey lets fly. A fiver says it didn't go in.

Cooky gets above Phil Gault, the County League's leading goalscorer

Griff thinks he's scored after sliding on to Blakey's cross.... (And who is that lurking on the right wing?)

....but the ball hits the inside of the post, and the game ends goalless.

The front side pose for the press before the 3-1 home win over Sidlesham - probably their best performance of the season.
