Camberley Boys Royals 0 Aldershot Whites 3
A better performance from CBR against a strong Aldershot side.
A tight first half of few chances saw Aldershot take a 1 nil lead before half time when Camberley failed to deal with a high cross.
In the 2nd half Aldershot's extra possesion started to tell and with CBR failing to create much going forward, the pressure told with Aldershot scoring 2 good goals.
This was an improved performance from CBR with particularly good efforts from Patrick Ryan and Joe Scott and, with easier games to come, let's hope that Camberley's first win is not far away.

Camberley Boys Royals 6 Manor Colts Black 7
Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory would sum up this performance. On a day when the Royals had finally found their scoring boots, a determined Manor Colts came back and won.
Manager Hayden re-organised a scratch Camberley side with a new up-front pairing of Joseph Barnett and Oliver Leatherdale and, a new look defence including Patrick Ryan and Joe Scott. The Royals pressed forward scoring first, and then twice more in the first half. However, after each goal, Manor Colts came back hard, lifting the ball over the Camberley defence, and enabling their swift-footed striker to score. Half Time 3-2.The Royals tightened up at the back and bossed the midfield in the first 10 minutes after the break, and managed to open up a three goal lead over their opponents. The result appeared sealed (or it would for most teams) but Manor are not the kind of side to give up, as we know from bitter experience last season. They continually broke through to level the score, and then eventually hitting a final winning goal in the few remaining minutes. Camberley had gifted Manor Colts their first points of the season, leaving the home side scratching their heads, and the Manager wishing he could bang a few together.
The result should not detract from a fantastic hatrick from Joseph Barnett in only his fourth match with the Royals, a brace from Oliver Grumley (including a stunning strike from well outside the box) and a first of the season from Oliver Leatherdale. All on an afternoon when Camberley actually started capitalising on their goal scoring opportunities. Long may it continue….but quickly please.

Milford Pumas Typhoons 3 Camberley Boys Royals 0
The Royals arrived at Milford to complete a one hour warm-up, with the intent of being ready to put in an improved first half performance. It worked - they started very brightly, winning the midfield and pinning the Typhoons into their half for much of the time, as well as creating numerous chances to score. However, Milford’s defense held firm and unfortunately their one lucky break resulted in the ball hitting the back of the net.
Camberley again came out strongly in the second half and when the ball was played out to the wings, produced some good football and even more chances that agonisingly did not get converted. Milford held tight and produced two further goals from their limited opportunities. This was a game that the Royals effectively won in all but the score line, and departed still looking for their first points of the season.

Headley Hornets 3 Camberley Boys Royals 2
Playing Headley away is always a bit of tense fixture and this one proved no different. In the tight confines of the sloping pitch, the Royals came up against a physical and determined Headley side. However, it was Camberley who scored first early into the game following a break away by Patrick Ryan. This possibly resulted in some complacency, as the Royals then struggled to contain the opposition in both the midfield and defense, and it was not long before Headley equalized and then bossed the remainder of the half, scoring two more in the process.
A motivational talk at the break saw the Royals come into the second half much stronger and not content to play victim to Headley’s bullying, nor the inconsistency of the official decisions. They were finally rewarded with a well taken penalty by Oliver Grumley. Some great play from Matthew Price and Stephen O’Brian in particular, meant there were few chances for the opposition, and in fact it was Camberley who had most of the scoring opportunities, but frustratingly did not quite make them stick.
The Royals won the second half convincingly, but unfortunately, not the game. The return fixture will provide an opportunity to do so and we look forward to that.
Goalscorer: Patrick Ryan

Camberley Boys Royals 0 Mytchett Athletic Falcons 5
The first game of the new season saw an exact reversal of the result from the last league fixture against Mytchett. A much changed and strengthened opposition proved too strong for the Royals in every department and coupled with Camberley using the first half as their warm up, they came in three goals down at half time. Whilst more grit was shown after the break, the Royals conceded two further goals and were well beaten. So, a change of fortune compared to previous starts to the season but there is time and many matches to improve and to put things right.
