Corinthian-Casuals 3-0 Ramsgate
Ryman League Division One South
Saturday 15th November 2014
Attendance: 127
Report and pics by Stuart Tree


Casual’s Boss Matt Howard praised his team for their 3-0 win and dominating performance over Ramsgate after a tough previous week.

Coming into the match, Casuals had won just once in eleven matches and lost 4-1 in successive matches to South Park and Folkestone in the past week.

Howard was able to choose from returning players Lee Hall, Carl Wilson-Denis and Jamie Byatt who had previously missed the encounter at South Park. Meddie Nsubuga came in at Right Back freeing up Danny Dudley to take his preferred position in central defence.

After a cagey start from both sides, it was left to Joe Hicks to break the deadlock on the half hour mark. The Captain rose high to head the ball past the Ram’s keeper and give the Casuals the lead.

Corinth were starting to impose themselves on the match more and Joe Hicks went close twice more in the first half, almost matching his first header from a corner and again going close in a near post flick.

The bright autumn sunshine of the first half was replaced by an ever thickening fog in the second. Ramsgate looked to get back into the match with only Danny Bracken and the Crossbar keeping the visitors from levelling.

But after a couple of good opportunities spurned by the ever attacking partnership of Byatt and Wilson-Denis, Byatt made it two on 68 minutes, finding himself free to pick his spot and double the lead.

Ten minutes later and it was three; Byatt grabbing a brace after the striker rose high above his defender to loop his header clear of the stranded Ramsgate keeper and into the net.

Casuals were dominant by this point and other chances went begging. Substitute Cisse Bamoussa found the target from an acute angle but was adjudged to have strayed offside. It didn’t matter. With Casuals back to their best, it was too much for the Kent seasiders who travelled back home in the now dense fog, without a point.

After the match, Matt Howard spoke to Stuart Tree.

“We needed that today. We could have scored five or six goals, but we’ve put away three and haven’t conceded and the result is we’ve got our second win on a Saturday.

“It was a stark contrast to the loss at South Park last week. I said to the lads after the match, that’s what happens when you put the effort in… something that was previously lacking.

“We have had a few walking wounded and they are coming back slowly but surely. This might be a bold statement but when we have everyone fully fit and available, we’re not a bad side and we’ll be there or there about come the end of the season. However, with 46 games in a season, we’re not going to have everyone available. We have 29 players signed on and we have to make best we can with them.

“Fifty points is our first target; that’ll pretty much ensure survival in the league. That was our initial target at the beginning of the season. After the start we had, did we get a little carried away? We probably did, but to have 30 points on the board in the middle of November, that’s not bad going.

“We’ve got twenty points to achieve that first target. Do I think we’ll beat that target? I’d like to think so. Last season we finished with 55 points so if we can top that, we’ve done well.

“It’s a cliché but one game at a time!”
