Tiptree Minors 1 Dunmow Rhodes 5
Tiptree started this match confidently and dominated the first fifteen minutes. Tiptree captain Nathan Kent was a force to be reckoned with in midfield. Tiptree won numerous corners in the first half and it was from one of these that Bradley King had a great shot just cleared of the line by the Dunmow goalie. Nathan Kent then continued to impress with a fantastic pass to Max Humphries who put Tiptree in the lead to the delight of the crowd! Dunmow then managed to score two goals before half time. Tiptree maintained the high standard in the second half with strong saves by Alex Goodridge and good play by Andy Waddingham. However Dunmow came back into form and scored a further three. All in all an impressive performance by Tiptree against a talented Dunmow side.

Focus Ferrers Tigers 3 Tiptree Minors 1
This was a tough game for Tiptree and although they started off well with a great goal from Matthew Griffin things soon turned round when Focus Ferrers scored the first of two goals in the first half. The game went from bad to worse in the second half with Focus Ferrers scoring their third and final goal.
There were some brave saves by Tiptree goalie Alex Goodridge and Matthew Griffins "never give up attitude" was rewarded with the man of the match award. Definitely not Tiptrees day today!
Man of the match - Matthew Griffin
Tiptree Minors 1 Mayland Village Tigers 3
Tiptree started the game with Matt Allum running rings around the opposition for the first five minutes but Mayland soon put the first goal in. Tiptree were quick to answer
with a lovely goal by Jim Harvey from a great pass by Matt Allum. The celebrations were short-lived as Mayland scored a second just before half time.
Despite some brave saves by goalie Bradley King and good play by the ever-enthusiastic Harry Hughes, Mayland scored the only goal of the second half.
Man of the match Matt Allum
Tiptree Minors 1 Boreham Youth 3
Boreham scored an early goal in the first half but Tiptree held it together well with great passing. Tiptree still stayed strong when Boreham scored a second and there were great shots on goal by Matt Allum and Brad King. Tiptree came out fighting for the second half with a long awaited goal from Matt Allum. The Tiptree defence (Nathan Kent and Tom Bellotti) were strong as usual and never gave up despite Boreham slipping in a third. Will Lofthouse was an outstanding man of the match for his brilliant passing throughout the game.

Coggeshall Town 1 Tiptree Minors 0
An excellent first half for Tiptree with all the play going their way, some superb passing between Will Lofthouse, Jamie Peachey, Jim Harvey and Matthew Griffin really had the Coggeshall defence on the run.
Tiptree had numerous shots but just couldn't get the ball in the net. Coggeshall came out fighting for the second half and scored very quickly, this was the only goal of the match although late attempts by Jim Harvey
and Matthew Griffin really kept the Coggeshall goalie on his toes. All in all another strong Tiptree performance.
Man of the match Will Lofthouse
Focus Ferrers Falcons 1 Tiptree Minors 0
Really solid first half for Tiptree with solid defending from captain Nathan Kent, aswell as some superb passing between Will Lofthouse and Max Humphries. Tiptree were just as solid in the second half with strong defending by Bradley King and numerous saves by goalie Alex Goodridge. Focus Ferrers finally broke through the strong Tiptree defence and scored the only goal of the match. All in all a strong Tiptree performance.

Heybridge Youth Hawks 6 Tiptree Minors 4
A great first half for Tiptree as Jim Harvey scored a superb hatrick helped by Max Humphries and Jamie Peachey who delivered the ball to Jim time and time again. Heybridge scored two goals in the first half but Tiptree brought their tally up to four with a super goal scored by Jamie Peachey.Sadly the second half didn't go so well for Tiptree and despite some brave saves by Alex Goodridge and tireless work by Andrew Green and Andy Waddingham they couldn't keep the momentum going and Heybridge came storming back with four more goals. Although it wasn't the result we'd hoped for it was a very exciting game to watch, definitely the one that got away!!
Man of the Match - Andrew Green
Boreham Youth 1 Tiptree Minors 0
After losing 3 - 0 in a league match against this team last week the boys were looking forward to this cup game. Tiptree dominated the game from the whistle. Great play from Harry Hughes up front kept the Boreham defence on their toes. Andrew Green showed off some good skillful play and Captain Nathan Kent was solid in defence with help from Andy Waddingham. The Boreham goalie was kept busy after a great corner by Jamie Peachey and numerous on target strikes by Will Lofthouse. Boreham scored the only goal of the match but Tiptree can be very proud as coach Mark Goodridge said "it was the performance of the season".

Tiptree Minors under 10s -0 Focus Ferrers Falcons - 0
A nervous start to this cup game by Tiptree after last weeks 5 - 2 defeat by the same team but they held up well. Goalie Alex Goodridge was well tested but once again proved his worth.
Great defending by Tom Bellotti and tireless work by Will Lofthouse gave Tiptree a well deserved draw against a tough team.
Man of the match Alex Goodridge
Tiptree Minors 0 Tollesbury Juniors 3
A new look for the under 10's with Harry Hughes, Matt Allum, Tom Bellotti and Matthew Greiffen all making their debuts. The team played with a lot of determination and managed to keep Tollesbury at bay until half time. But, as always, it was a strong Tollesbury team in the second half and they managed to snatch three goals.
Man of the match - Tom Bellotti
