Felixstowe took the lead in the 4^th minute when Burton was pulled down in the box and Harrison converted the penalty.  In the 18^th minute West Bergholt drew level when Barnstom had a fine shot giving Algar in the Felixstowe goal no chance.  Almost immediately after this West Bergholt went 2-1 up when Wyard put in a challenge but unfortunately the loose ball went to McLwaine whose snap shot again gave Algar no chance.  Although we were 2-1 down Felixstowe were not playing too bad and for the remainder of the half we had the better chances to equalise, Rogowski having a shot just wide, Elwood having a shot just over the bar and Gabriel having a shot which the keeper saved.

 The second half started with Felixstowe having the better exchanges.  Unfortunately West Bergholt went further ahead in the 65^th minute, making it 3-1. Shortly after this Felixstowe pulled one back through Gabriel when Millbourne put him away and he calmly shot the ball past the advancing keeper – 3-2.   West Bergholt went further ahead when they caught Felixstowe’s defence a bit square and McLwaine again went through to score.  4-2. For the last 20 minutes Felixstowe went down to 10 men when Millbourne came off injured and with no subs available we had to cope.  We did have a couple of chances to reduce the deficit with Burton having a shot just over the bar and Harrison in the dying minutes had a header at the far post which went into the side netting.

Felixstowe & Walton United Res. 1- 1 Severalls  (0-1)
Felixstowe: - Rogowski, Parry, (Burton), Stiff, Jacobs, (Harrison), Wyard, Anderson, Morgan, Gray, Mathews, (Ellwood), Felgate and Gabriel.
With four first team players in the squad and no goalkeeper it was all change again for this evening’s game with Severalls. Rogowski who normally plays up front or in midfield pulled on the No 1 jersey for tonight’s game.

Felixstowe  kicked off  but came under pressure straight away, but a good challenge from Wyard cleared the danger. Severalls were awarded a free kick midway in Felixstowe’s half  and the shot come cross but was comfortably dealt with by Rogowski in the home goal. Wyard had a shot for Felixstowe that went wide. A free kick for Severalls just outside the box went wide. Both sides were battling in midfield to gain advantage with Felixstowe just coming out on top.
Felixstowe had a corner that Wyard headed towards goal but it deflected off a defender for another corner. Against the run of play Severalls took the lead, the Felixstowe’s defence were pushing up, looking for offside, when Taylor for the visitors ran through the defence and coolly shot over the advancing Rogowski for a well taken goal. Felixstowe were pushing hard for the equaliser with Stiff going closest with a shot that was cleared. H.T 0.1

Felixstowe came out for the second half in determined mood and put Severalls under pressure for almost the entire second half with shots from Mathews, Wyard, Stiff, Fellgate, Harrison and Morgan. Then in the 60^th minute Harrison for Felixstowe crossed, after a good move down the left, and Morgan was on hand at the near post to slot the ball home. Felixstowe, who deserved all 3 points, continued to press the visitors but their defence held firm and in the end had to settle for a draw.

Bures United  1 - 0  Felixstowe & Walton United Res.  (1-1)
Felixstowe:-Algar, Wyard, (Ellwood), Jacobs,(Gabreil), Burton, Millbourne, Anderson, Felgate, Gray, Ingham,(Harrison), Rogowski ,and Mathews.
This was another narrow defeat by second in the league Bures.   Bures kicked off and forced a corner that Farrugia shot over the bar. Bures had  two more corners  that came to nothing. Felixstowe were awarded a free kick that Wyard floated into the box, Mathews rose highest only to see his header tipped over the bar by Lee in the home goal. From the resulting corner Mathews again won the header this time it went over the bar. Adams for Bures had a shot just over the bar, then Rogowski for Felixstowe saw his shot also go over the bar. Bures took the lead when Algar in the Felixstowe goal could only parry the shot and Bird had a simple tap in to put them ahead. 
Jacobs for Felixstowe had to come off through injury and was replaced by Gabriel and for the rest of the half Felixstowe were put under a lot of pressure by Bures, who had several shots on goal.  Notably Adams for the home team was very effective having had two good shots, one which the Felixstowe keeper saved and the other from a corner that Gray for Felixstowe cleared off the line.

 Ellwood came on for the injured Wyard for Felixstowe.  Felixstowe started the second half the livelier of the two teams with Felgate having a shot which the keeper saved.  Harrison then came on for Ingham. Gabriel had a cross which the keeper could only fumble which went for a corner and the same player had another shot saved.  This was good pressure from Felixstowe.  Unfortunately we could not sustain it and Bures came back at Felixstowe with Farrugia and Lillie shooting wide and then Ockmore had a shot which was kicked off the line by Millbourne.  Lillie then crossed again and the ball was headed against his own post by Felixstowe’s Millbourne who was under pressure.  Just as the game was coming to a close Algar in the Felixstowe goal saved well at the feet of Ockmore, seconds later Baalham had a shot that was also saved by Algar.

Wednesday 30th March 2005 - Tommy Thompson Cup
Felixstowe & Walton United Res. 0 - 1 Brightlingsea  (0-1)
Felixstowe:- Algar, Wyard, Jacobs, Anderson, Millbourne, Mathews, Gabreil, Gray, Inham, Rogowski, Burton, (Ellwood), Subs: Harrison, and Rodwell.
Felixstowe went out of the cup sadly though an own goal in the 8^th minute, in what was an entertaining game.   Brightlingsea scored with a long ball into the Felixstowe box. Algar in the home goal, tried to collect the ball just under the crossbar but it slipped through his hands and into the net giving the visitors a surprise lead.
 Burton had a shot in the 16^th minute that went wide. Felixstowe’s Gray took a long throw that was flicked on at the near post, Gabriel knocked the ball back across the face of the goal which beat the visiting keeper but was cleared by a defender.
Burton had a good chance to level. After a good pass from Rogowski but his shot went the wrong side of the post. As half time approached, Felixstowe were pushing for the equalizer.  Wyard had a shot well wide and Ingham shot over the bar. Half time 0.1

 The second half started the same as the first finished with Felixstowe having the lion’s share of the possession but could not turn this into goals.  Rogowski had a shot wide, and a rare attack by Brightlingsea was cut short by a fine tackle by Jacobs. Then probably the best chance of the game fell to Felixstowe’s Mathews as he was put clean through by Rogowski  with only the keeper to beat, but shot wide. Both Ingham and Gabriel for Felixstowe both had shots that were off target. In the end it was the own goal that settled the game on a night when Felixstowe had most of the possession.
 Good luck to Brightlingsea  in the next round.

Mersea Island  2 - 1  Felixstowe & Walton United Res.  (1-1)
Felixstowe:- Algar, Millbourne, (Wiggins), Jacobs, Dickerson, Anderson, Wyard, Mathews, Grey, Rogowski, Harrison,  and  Donnally, (Rodwell). 

Mersea Island kicked off and had the first attack when they were awarded a free kick about 25 yards out that fell to Huggins who shot over the bar.  In the 11^th minute Felixstowe had the ball in the Mersea net when Harrison floated a free kick into the box and Wyard scored what looked like a perfectly good headed goal only for the referee to disallow it for an infringement. 
Mersea beat the offside trap but Algar in the Felixstowe goal was equal to it and responded to save at the feet of the Mersea player. In the 22^nd minute, Hammond for Mersea headed home to put the home team in front.  1-0.  Felixstowe responded with Rogowski shooting over the bar and in the 33^rd minute a good clearance from Wyard put Rogowski through with only the keeper to beat.  As the keeper advanced Rogowski lobbed the ball to score a fine goal.  1-1. Almost immediately Felixstowe possibly should have gone ahead when again, but this time Millbourne, put Matthews away whose lob this time landed on the roof of the net unfortunately the wrong side of the bar.
Rogowski was in the action again when he took a free kick just outside the box which went just wide.  There was a let off for Felixstowe when Curtis for Mersea should have put Mersea in front but his header went just past the post.  With almost the last kick of the half, Mersea sent a good ball into the Felixstowe area but was thwarted with a fine header from Anderson.  Felixstowe had a free kick which Harrison shot over the bar. Half time 1-1. 

Within 25 seconds of the restart Mersea went ahead with a long ball into the Felixstowe box which Algar could only parry, it fell to Mersea and Kerry planted it into the roof of the net. Wiggins came on for the injured Millbourne and Rodwell for Donnally. Mathews making his debut for Felixstowe possibly should have done better with a shot from about 12 yards out but it went wide. Felixstowe did have some useful attacks but could not reproduce the first half performance and went down to a team that have won 9 out of their last 10 games.

Saturday 19th March 2005 - ESBL
Woodbridge Town Res.  2 - 2  Felixstowe & Walton United Res.  (1-2)
Felixstowe:- Pitts, Millbourne, (Dickerson) Willett, R.Hunn, Anderson, Wyard, Jacobs, Grey, Ingham, (Donnally), (Rodwell) Rogowski and Burton.

In what was an entertaining game of football, on a warm sunny day, the points were shared. Although Woodbridge played some good football it was Felixstowe who took the lead through Ingham when in the 8^th minute Rogowski  flicked the ball on and Ingham scored to put Felixstowe in front.  
Woodbridge levelled in the 24^th minute when Heathcote was left unmarked in the box and made no mistake from about 3 yards out. Felixstowe regained the lead in the 30^th minute when they were awarded a free kick just outside the box and Rogowski gave the home keeper no chance with a fine shot into the top right corner of the net. Then Gray for Felixstowe sent in a long ball that fell to Millbourne on the edge of the box but his shot was well wide. Felixstowe continued to press but could not add to the score and went in at half time with a deserved lead.  

The seconded half started  with Felixstowe being forced to make two changes, Dickerson and Donnally came on for Millbourne and Ingham who both went off injured.  This had an  instant impact and Woodbridge levelled the score again when Laidlaw scored with a close range header 2.2. Woodbridge were now putting Felixstowe under pressure. Bales for Woodbridge had a free kick that went wide, Laidlaw had a header wide and Spencer hit the bar. Rogowski crossed and Jacobs for Felixstowe saw his header saved  by Garnham in the home goal. A clever back heal by Hunn found Jacobs who shot over the bar. In the final attack Woodbridge were unlucky not to take the lead but for a good save by Pitts in the Felixstowe goal. A drew was probably a fair result.

Saturday 12th March 2005 - ESBL
Felixstowe & Walton United Res.  1 -1  Weeley Athletic  (0-1)
Felixstowe;- Algar, Wiggins, Jacobs, Millbourne, Anderson, Wyard, R. Hunn, Grey, Djan,(Ingham), Rogowski, and Harrison.
Felixstowe got a well earned point after coming from behind after Rouse had given the visitors the lead in the 13^th minute. Weeley kicked off but it was Felixstowe that had the first attack, Harrison sent over a cross but Gillmore in the Weeley  goal came smartly off his line to just beat Hunn to the ball to clear the danger. Weeley went ahead in the 13^th minute when Rouse picked up the ball on the edge of the area and shot to Algar’s left.
Harrison had a chance to level for Felixstowe but shot wide after a good pass from Millbourne. Just before half time Algar  made two good saves in quick succession  from Brunt for Weeley, it was a poor half from Felixstowe and Weeley deserved their lead.

 Felixstowe  kicked off the second half when Ingham, replacing Djan,  had an immediate impact,  he crossed from the right across the face of the goal but no Felixstowe player could get on the end of it.  The same player had a good shot that Gillmore in the visitors goal could only parry round the post for a corner. Down the other end Felixstowe had a lucky escape when a corner was whipped in from the right and Wyard for Felixstowe cleared off the line, By now Felixstowe were putting the visitors under a lot of pressure but could not produce the equaliser. Harrison took a free kick just outside the box but his shot just went over the bar, then what was probably Felixstowe’s best move of the game Millbourne sent a long ball into the visitor’s box and Rogowski flicked it on and Gray hit it on the volley from the edge of the box only to see his shot shave the wrong side of the post with the keeper well beaten this move deserved a goal.
Weeley had a couple of shots both by Rouse who was looking lively for Weeley. Down the other end Jacobs for Felixstowe had a shot charged down and Harrison picked up the loose ball only to see Gillmore pull of another fine save, it did not look as if it was going to be Felixstowe’s day when in the 89th minute Felixstowe were awarded a free kick just outside of the box. Up stepped Rogowski whose shot hit the underside of the bar and came down in what looked like being over the line, but Wiggins followed up to put the ball in the net making absolutely sure giving Felixstowe a well deserved point.

Saturday 26th February 2005 - ESBL
Alresford Res.  1 - 0  Felixstowe & Walton United Res.   (1-0)
Felixstowe:- Algar, Burton, Jacobs, Morgan, Stiff, Wyard, Beddoes, Gray (Orford), Pugh, Rogowski, Harrison (Wiggins)
Adam Auger's goal from eight yards, three minutes before the interval, was all that separated the sides on a cold wet afternoon in Essex.
Felixstowe left the field at half time wondering how they had failed to score. The Seasiders had posed the greater threat to that point with Rogowski the first to test Pilkinton in the home goal, producing a good save after six minutes, and Pilkinton was again equal to the task when he palmed Pugh's shot away for a corner shortly after.
Wyard's header cleared the danger posed by Auger, at the expense of a corner, as Alresford built their attacks through the influential Burgess without testing Algar in the visitors goal. Polley broke through the Felixstowe defence on twenty minutes shooting wide under pressure from Burton.
Perry produced a fine tackle to deny Pugh with Pilkinton making a double save to block shots from Pugh and Morgan as the Seasiders gained the upper hand. Baker cleared Morgan's header, from Rogowski's corner, off the Alresford goal line with the interval approaching and a goalless half in prospect before Auger struck. Deeny and Burgess had linked well on the edge of the Felixstowe area but the danger looked to have been cleared before the ball ran to the unmarked Adam Auger who drilled the ball home from eight yards.

Beddoes switched to midfield in the second period with Burton and Harrison pushing forward in search of an equaliser. Harrison came closest, shooting over the home goal when well placed following a free kick on the edge of the area. Jacobs, Gray and Wyard all battled hard for possession but the final telling ball was absent and Alresford maintained a clean sheet to claim all three points.

An ambulance was required for Arlesford's Phil Whitting following a painful shoulder injury and we wish Phil a speedy recovery.

Saturday 19th February 2005 - Tommy Thompson Cup 2nd Round
Felixstowe & Walton United Res. 2 - 0  St. Osyth Res.  (0-0)
Felixstowe:- Pitts, Wiggins (Orford), Jacobs, Anderson, Wyard, Rowgowski, Milbourn, Grey, Ingham, Harrison, Rodwell (R. Hunn).
Felixstowe took to the field with injuries and call ups to the 1^st 11 dictating the team today with James Rodwell coming into the side from the under 18’s. St. Osyth kicked off with a very strong wind at their backs, it was obvious from the start their intention was to use the wind to get the ball forward as early as possible.  For the first few minutes St Osyth put Felixstowe under pressure but never threatened the goal.  Their forwards were caught offside a couple of times trying to use the long ball but poor finishing and good defending from Felixstowe kept the score sheet clean up to half time.  Felixstowe had a couple of chances both falling to Harrison but on both occasions he shot wide.  A well timed tackle by Wyard when a St Osyth forward was clean through cleared the danger.  It must be said that this was a poor half from Felixstowe but fortunately we survived with a clean sheet.  Half-time 0-0.

 Steve Jacobs introduced both subs at half-time.  Hunn returning from injury replaced Rodwell and Orford came on for Wiggins.  This had the desired effect and almost from the start you could see Felixstowe play better football.  Early in the second half Aaron Ingham had a chance to put Felixstowe in front when his shot went just past the post.  A few minutes later the same player scored from a good shot giving Meeking-Hall the St Osyth’s keeper no chance.  1-0. Not long after Felixstowe went 2-0 up when the persistence of Ingham forced a bad back pass from the St Osyth defence which resulted in Ingham slotting the ball past the keeper to make it 2-0.  By now Felixstowe were putting St Osyths under a lot of pressure and they were rarely getting out of their own half.  Rowgowski should have made it three but a really brave save from the keeper kept it out. 
Rowgowski again causing trouble down the right sent a super ball across the face of the goal and Harrison coming in on the far post could only see his shot saved by the keeper which was put out for a corner.  Just before the final whistle Hunn for Felixstowe had a fine shot after a good run which went just over the bar.  Felixstowe performed much better in the second half and were unlucky not to add to the score line. Final score 2-0.
The Seasiders progress to the quarter finals where will play at Brightlingsea United at home.

Saturday 12th February 2005 - ESBL
Rowhedge United 4 - 3 Felixstowe & Walton United Res. (3-2)
Felixstowe :- Algar, Jacobs, Burton, Orford (Wiggins), Kyle, Morgan, Wyard (Anderson), Morgan, Harrison (Gray), Ingham, Pugh, Rogowski
With a strong wind to their backs Rowhedge scored three goals inside the first fifteen minutes before taking their foot off the pedal. Pugh replied twice for the Seasiders before the break but the visitors could not make the wind count in the second half and despite Pugh completing his hat-trick the home scored a fourth to claim the points.
Kyle returning from injury went into defence and Ingham making his first start was named in attack.
Rowhedge won the toss and elected to take wind advantage in the first half and were ahead after only three minutes when Alexis Jones rose unchallenged to head home from Robertson's corner. Felixstowe responded and Beeson in the home saved well at his near post at the expense of a corner. Rowhedge doubled their lead on eight minutes when once again poor marking enabled Daniel Fisher to have a clean strike at the ball following a long throw that was not adequately dealt with.
On fifteen minutes the game looked over as Joe Holland reacted first when Jones' shot came back off the post and fired the ball home from close range. The Seasiders dug deep and with Morgan's prompting from midfield slowly got their passing game together.
Shaun Pugh scored from distance on the left to reduce the arrears on the half hour and the discipline of the home side began to waiver from that point until the interval. Injury time before the break saw Morgan find Shaun Pugh with a precise pass from midfield and Pugh outpaced the home defence to score.

Despite territorial advantage scoring opportunities were scarce for the Seasiders after the break with Rogowski's corner, which nearly found the net at the far post, the closest to producing the equaliser. Rowhedge broke on 72 minutes and the ball reached Wayne Macklin in space on the edge of the area and his well placed shot found the back of the net despite the efforts of Orford to keep it out.
Rogowski saw his well placed free kick saved at the foot of a post before Shaun Pugh completed his hat-trick on ninety minutes as he used his paced once again to run on and score. Felixstowe went in search of a point but time ran out and Rowhedge held on for a deserved win.

Saturday 5th February 2005 - ESBL
Glemsford & Cavendish United 2 - 2 Felixstowe & Walton United  (1-1)
Felixstowe :- Pitts, Jacobs, Wiggins (Ingham), Milbourne, Burton, Orford, Morgan, Gray, Rogowski, Harrison, Pugh.
Bowes opened the scoring for Glemsford in the first minute of an entertaining game which saw both sides committed to attack. Three minutes later Pugh equalised and despite the game flowing end to end it was the seventy sixth minute before the home side scored again through Martin. A bullet header from Morgan brought the sides level with a minute remaining and Morgan saw a second header fly over the bar in injury time, with the draw a fair result on the day.
With Wyard injured in the warm up mid-week signing Milbourne was named in the starting eleven with Ingham on the bench.
The home side were first on the attack with the lively Bowes capitalising on a defensive error on the edge of the visitors area after only second sixty seconds to lift the ball over the stranded Pitts for the opening goal of the game.
Felixstowe were quick to counter and on four minutes it was all square. Rogowski captured the ball in midfield and found the willing Pugh with a telling pass. Pugh ran on to fire the ball under the diving Smith in the home goal.
A goal fest looked in prospect but both defences tightened with Milbourne and Burton solid at the back for the visitors and Adams and Curran keeping things tight for the home side. Pitts saved well to deny Wager and Milbourne blocked a fierce shot from Curran, at considerable personal pain (ouch!), as the home side pushed forward.
Felixstowe finished the half strongly with Pugh striking a post and Rogowski  also seeing his shot striking  an upright before Smith bravely dived at his feet to block the rebound.

Adams blocked Rogowski's goal bound shot at the expense of a corner shortly after the restart as the game continued to flow from end to end with Jacob's coming to the aid of his keeper to clear off the line to deny the busy Martin.
With the fitness of the young Felixstowe side beginning to tell the Seasiders pushed forward in numbers but without testing Smith in the home goal. On 76 minutes Glemsford regained the lead after Felixstowe gave the ball away in midfield. Partridge broke away and despite Burton making a telling tackle Martin retrieved the loose ball and slotted home.
Ingham, Pugh and Rogowski all went close but the home side looked to be holding on until Morgan provided a moment of pure quality a minute from time.
Harrison's corner was driven in accurately from the left and Morgan met the ball in full flight at the near post to powerfully head home the equaliser.
The same combination nearly produced the winner seconds later but that would have been cruel on the hosts after an entertaining and evenly contested game.

The second half started as the first finished with both sides looking lively, Pitts saving from Barrett  and  Rogowski shooting over the bar down the other end.  Then D Grey for Bentley forced Pitts to parry a good shot. Then Oldhamstead for Bentley was clean through and just as he was about to shoot Jacob’s came in and made a suburb tackle to clear the danger. Felixstowe went ahead in the 59^th minute when Tomiak was fouled in the box and Harrison converted from the spot 1.0. Bentley made three quick substitutions and put Felixstowe under a lot of pressure but the defence and midfield held firm for 3 much needed points. This was a much improved performance against a very well organised side who have only conceded 15 goals this season. Full time 1.0

Saturday 15th January 2005 - ESBL
Felixstowe & Walton United Res. 0 - 6 Boxted Lodgers (0-3)
Felixstowe: - Algar, Gray, Anderson, Wyard, (Djan), Jacobs, Harrison, Fenn, (Ryan), Hudson, Tomiak, Burton and Pugh.
This must go down as one of the most disjointed performances I have seen by the reserves in my time with them. In the first half we found ourselves 1 0 down within the first five minutes.  Pugh for Felixstowe hit the post but almost from then you could see it was not going to be our day. A hotly disputed free kick to the visitors just outside the Felixstowe box put us 2 down. Just before half time a bad defensive error cost us another goal and we went in at half time 3 0 down. 

Steve Hall a regular in the reserves this year went into hospital on Friday for an operation on his ankle. I would like to wish him a speedy recovery from all at Felixstowe and Walton Football Club.

Felixstowe & Walton United Res.  1 - 0  Witham Town Reserves (1-0)
  Felixstowe:- Algar, Jacobs, Hall, Anderson, Wyard, Tomiak, Grey, Burton,(Leeson), Rogowski, Morgan, and Harrison.(Fenn)  Subs:-Leeson, Fenn, and Djan
It was good to be playing at home, as we had been on our travels for the last 7 weeks and what a game we had to look forward to. Felixstowe fourth from bottom after a couple of poor results, take on a free scoring Witham side who are sitting on top of the table, Witham started the stronger of the two sides as they passed the ball round  very well. But all their possession did not cause Algar in the Felixstowe goal any real problems as the Felixstowe defence held firm. It was not until the 25th minute that Felixstowe had their first shot by Rogowski, which Long in the Witham goal dealt with comfortably, Felixstowe started to get their game together and in the 35th minute took the lead a when well taken corner from the right by Harrison fell to Chris Rogowski and from about 18 yards gave Long in the Witham goal no chance with a low shot into the far corner of the net 1 . 0 to Felixstowe. Witham were awarded a free kick about 35 yards out, as the ball was knocked into the box they could only manage a tame shot well over the bar. Half time 1-0
