Rayleigh Boys Youth FC Present the U18 B Team
The U18 B Team so far……… Following 2008’s season the lads left school and started college and work. The original team split with players leaving to pastures new. Some of the original players, Ryan and Sam had received awards for their long standing service and commitment. Two seasons ago Luke Vincent, Matt Taylor and Jared Sims joined the team. This years new players joining include Tom Lambert, Josh Mann, Mike Wright, Cullen Chitty, Will Cooper and Bobby. Paul Sims (Coach) and Steve Taylor (Manager) are also new to their roles. Together we are Rayleigh FC.

The season so far……. Rayleigh B have been denied the league for the last 2 seasons. The beginning of the season saw us lose many original players. We were playing matches with only 9 men until the end of November. However, with only 9 players Rayleigh have lost some games . However we did beat FC Dedman 4-2 with 9 men and likewise drew with Canvey Island 3-3. We now have 11 players (no subs) but this side shows 100% commitment. They never give up and with such determination and drive, Rayleigh should get some results this season. Come on Rayleigh!
First Game of the season18.10.09 Shore Athletic 4 Rayleigh 3 This was an unfortunate loss, however the boys did battle with 10 men. A crucial penalty made it difficult to catch up and time ran out. We hope to do better with a full squad at our home game.
Second game of the season18.10.09 Wickford Town 5 Rayleigh 3 This was an unfortunate loss with the 9 men. We hope to do better with a full squad away later on this season.
Cup Game 3rd game of the season27.10.09 FC Dedman 2 Rayleigh 4 This was a breath taking game. With 30 minutes of the second half left Rayleigh lost their player captain and was down to 9 men. The boys held on to finish the game 2-2. They played an additional 30 minutes extra time and held the game. They won on penalties 4-2. A well deserved score which shows what the lads are made of. Sheer determination and team spirit!
4th Game of the season08.11.09 Ashingdon Youth 9 Rayleigh 0 The results did not really show the efforts during this game. 9 men against 11 proved difficult against Ashingdon, who score most of their goals as headers from corners. We look forward to meeting Ashingdon with 11 men on 29th November in a cup game. Look out for this result as it should prove a different game.
5th Game of the season15.11.09 Canvey Island 3 Rayleigh 3 This was another win for us. The game was a draw, through battling tooth a nail. The equalising goal was scored in the dying minute by Tom Lambert. 9 men against 11 again. Everyone was run ragged, but they thoroughly deserved the result. We look forward playing Canvey with 11 men and taking away a result next time!
6th Game of the season22.11.09 Catholic United 8 Rayleigh 1 This was a tough game and Catholic played well. Again with 9 men it was going to be another hard game and the players were suffering from fatigue and an uphill struggle. We take the result gracefully and look forward playing Catholic with 11 men and a result next time!
7th Game of the season Cup Match28.11.09 Ashingdon Athletic Rayleigh This was a reunion to test our confidence and self belief. This time we had 11 men (no subs) but were positive about getting a result this time. And we did 1-1, however the referee called stop to the game due to adverse weather. A rematch is being drawn up.
