🐀🚨Rats Review 🚨🐀
By Cameron Clarke

The Styrrup Rats FC 3-0 SFC Glasshouse
THREE GOALS. CLEAN SHEET. JOB DONE.

12/04/26 – Theglassstrawberry Championship

A belated post but the Rats were back in action last Sunday and delivered one of their most composed performances of the season, dominant, disciplined, and devastating on the break.

It didn't take long for the Rats to announce themselves. Owen picked out Kez with a perfectly weighted ball to the left, and cutting in from the right, Kez took his time, showed composure, and found the far corner with a stunning strike. 1-0, and the Rats were up and running.

The remainder of the first half was all Rats. Kez was a constant menace, finding pockets of space and threatening with every touch, while Mikey forced a brilliant stop from the Glasshouse keeper with a thumping volley that deserved a goal. The middle three linked up throughout, tidy, connected, and controlling the tempo.

Vinter then produced the moment that summed up the defensive effort, a goal line challenge that denied what looked like a certain equaliser and kept the clean sheet intact. There were periods where the Rats switched off and allowed Glasshouse back into it, but when it mattered, the backline held firm.

With ten minutes left on the clock, Gelder settled any nerves in style. A moment of individual brilliance, dribbling through on goal and finishing with confidence near post, made it 2-0 and put the game to bed.

The Rats weren't done. In the closing minutes, Nick spread it wide, Bask killed it dead with a perfect first touch and fed it inside to Mikey, who drove forward and finished low, the ball bobbling under the keeper and into the net. 3-0. Game over.

Three goals. A clean sheet. Solid from back to front. The Rats mean business 🐀⚽️

𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛: Patrick Slaven
A composed head throughout the game, delivering saves when needed in key moments. There could've been moments to switch off due to the Rats high possession but he kept cool, calm and collected. He was prepared when needed. Talked the team through the game from back to front, well played Pat.

🐀🚨Rats Review 🚨🐀

Shireoaks Sports FC 1 - 5 The Styrrup Rats FC

REDEMPTION, THREE POINTS, FIVE GOALS, THE RATS DELIVERED.

29/03/26 - Theglassstrawberry Championship

Having been knocked out of the cup by this very side in their last encounter, there was an edge to this one from the off, and the Rats made sure they sent a very clear message.

The opener arrived via set piece. Kez stepped up to whip in a pinpoint corner and skipper Stan, marshalling from centre back, rose to power a header home. Captain’s header. Exactly what you want from your leader.

The second came from Mikey, who showed real composure in the box, finding a pocket of space and tucking a cool finish into the bottom corner. Clinical.

But Owen might have saved the best for himself. With a first-time Cruyff turn right in front of the keeper, he left the stopper rooted to the spot and rolled the ball into an empty net. Pure class, and it’ll be talked about for a while.

Kez then capped off a man of the match display with a powerful strike from around 12 yards, rounding off a performance that touched every corner of the pitch.

Watson wrapped it up in style, reacting sharply to a Bask cross that dropped kindly at his feet and tapping home the fifth. Bask with another assist, a real thorn in Shireoaks’ side all game.

A dominant, well-rounded performance and three more crucial points in the championship push.

𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛: Kieren Edwards
Relentless from start to finish, constant threat running at their defence, whipping balls in the box, making life tough for defenders, and a well earned goal from his performance too.

𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦 ⚽: Luke Stannard, Mikey Hannan, Owen Greenall, Kieren Edwards, Luke Alexander Watson
𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦 💁‍♂️: Kieren Edwards, Kieran Baskerville x2, Mikey Hannan
