Our first win in the Southern League Premier against fellow promoted Farnborough. Very pleasing in as much that in my opinion they will be up amongst the front runners in this League so to take all three points was extremely satisfying. I’ll be the first to admit that the game wasn’t blessed with great quality […]

Not the start all of us wanted today with a loss at home to a organised Stratford team but valuable lessons to be learned from in what is a higher level than we have played thus far. Lesson 1 – Not to give opportunities/goals away cheaply! This one I feel has been a carry on […]

Our first competitive match of the season resulting in a narrow 3-2 win to us. A close contest that in our opinion should not have become as close as the score suggests. A great start with us going into a 2-0 lead but then for some reason, we took the foot off the throttle and […]

Apologies for the lack of blogs throughout pre-season but to partially placate you guys, three game assessments in one. Firstly our longest journey of the preseason. A match against Peterborough Sports. With them recently been promoted again, we were expecting a tough match. We had to make certain changes due to lads arriving late. In […]

Hi! A blog tonight reporting on the days events from a rather bemused manager who after seeing the 1st half of this pre season fixture was reasonably satisfied by what he had seen only to be totally shocked in enduring the 2nd 45 where all major principals of what we as a group are all […]

The second match played in our pre-season schedule yesterday. This time against Histon Who unfortunately have found themselves in Step 5. Lance Key our old goalkeeping coach has been in charge for a while now and all of us at Royston wish them all the best for the campaign. A 2-0 win for us, could […]

Our first pre-season match tonight against strong League 2 opposition in our near neighbours, Cambridge United. A 4-1 loss sounds on paper a resounding loss but with all the variables taken into account probably a true reflection on where both teams are at in their respective preparations. We, having only three sessions together are in […]

[Editor’s Note: Steve Castle wrote this Blog entry prior to the news of Will Norris’ well deserved move to Wolverhampton Wanderers broke – well done Will – all the best from all Crows!] Hello and welcome back to all “Crows” fans and tonight everyone connected to Cambridge United Football Club. I know first hand what […]

A great end to a very successful season by us today. The boys have had four games where they have already won the League and to keep them “At it” has been very hard. A little easier today because starting places were at stake for the next match but still motivation had to come from […]

An unusual situation to report on today. A loss for the crows in a local derby against Arlesey Town. Plenty of changes made by me including a few new faces in Romelle Alomenu, Tom Canham and young Michael Baulk. Romelle starting and Tom and Michael on the bench. Now obviously changes are scrutinised after the […]
