Rydon vs Blackpool

Rydon's A and B Team both got their league matches underway against Blackpool School on Tuesday 29th November. Rydon had come up against Blackpool the night before in the Doel Cup which had seen Blackpool win 2-0. However, the A team started well and scored an early goal, this was then followed up by some excellent team play which saw a further two goals scored. The final result, Rydon 'A' 3, Blackpool 'A' 0. It was then the B teams go. All players worked hard and showed good team spirit after going down 1-0. Rydon continued to press but unfortunately due to a excellent Blackpool defence, the result remained 1-0 to Blackpool B. Thank you to Blackpool Primary School for two brilliant matches and also to all the spectators and supporters who cheered on all of the children.

Doel Cup

It was a very, very, very cold evening on Monday as Rydon played their first competitive football of the season at Coombeshead. There were sixteen teams entered for the first stage of the Doel Cup and Rydon were to play four matches. The first match was a tough game which saw Rydon narrowly defeated 2-0 by Blackpool, however this was followed by a victory against St Catherine's. Next was another close match with Ipplepen who won 1-0. Finally, Rydon finished the night with a performance which saw a 4-0 victory against Marldon. Thank you to all the parents who helped with transport and came and supported.
