Season 1 Round-Up

A good season for the Wrighty Boys saw them jump to the top of the table for the first game and no one could knock them off. They dominated the Conference South from start to finish, only drawing 3 games and winning the rest. The fans of the Isle of Wright FC were ecstatic when they came through the season unbeaten and winning the title along the way. A big 10-0 win against Bishop's Stortford was one of the highlights of the seaosn, as well as beating Newport Co. 8-0!

However that was not the case in the FA Trophy when they were knocked out by Oxford in the Semi final after SWP missed a penalty in the 94th minute that would have earned them a reply!

During the business end of the season, several major injuries to BWP, Billy Sharpe, Paul Peschisolido, Matt Bloomfield and Denes Rosa ruled them out for months, as well as minor ones to SWP, Nalis, Ricketts and Grabban meant that the team was down to its bear bones, and with most of them tiring, it meant that the winning streak was ended in mid-March, however they troops rallied and they won the league by the end of March.

Several more signing were mad thoughout the year, with a recosigning being made in the name of Billy Sharpe for £2.4m. He proved money well spent when he banged in 39 goals in 29 games.

Also there was: Ian Breckin (Nottm Frst) 300k, Steve Foster (Scthpe)50k, Lewis Grabban (C Palace) 300k, Lilian Nalis (Plymth) 1k, James O'Connor (Burnley)350k and Lukas Jutkiewicz (Swdn) 28k.

Goals - BWP 50,
Assists - SWP 26,
MOM - SWP 16
Ave. Rating - Billy Sharpe 8.24

Season 2 - Pre-Season

Another very successful pre season saw Isle Of Wright FC make bigger and better signings for the upcoming year in the Conference National.

Transfers In

Currently there have been no transfers out, however manager James Brookes is hoping to shift some of the backup players out if they gain promotion to the Football League.

Pre Season Results.

This years matches saw IOW FC face hard oppostition, but not as hard as the year before.

v Wycombe (A) 0 - 4 (O'Connor,Sharpe (2),Own Goal)
v Leyton Orient (A) 0 - 2 (Own Goal,Kazim Richards)
v Crawley (A) 2 - 6 (SWP,BWP,Kazim-R(2),Quinn, Sanneh)
v Woking (A) 2 - 4 (Sharpe,Grabban,Priskin,Kazim R)
v Southend (H) 2 - 0 (Herring,Grabban)
v Soton (H) 1 - 1 (Kazim R)

So... an unbeaten pre season for the Wrighty Boys means that the season looks bright, and with the bookies tipping up for promotion at 7-2, it might prove to be a great year!

Season 3 - Pre-Season Report

With the promotion to the Football League now achieved, this pre-season saw some quality new players being brought in to strengthen what was already a very strong side. Paul Peschisolido was signed up as a coach following his retirement, alongside Gary Speed.

Transfers In (Typing it because imageshack seems to have crashed!)

Zesh Rehman (Crewe) - £700,000
Abdoulaye Meite (Bolton) - £1.3M
Hameur Bouazza (Watford) - £1.5M
Ali Al-Habsi (unattached)

The Matches

v Tottenham Reserves (H) 1-1 (Haynes)
v Fenerbahce (H) 6-2 (Reid, Garvan, BWP 3, Haynes)
v Hitchin (A) 6-0 (SWP 2, Haynes 3, Wilbraham)
v Hull (H) 3-2 (Scowcroft 2, Haynes)
v Bridlington (H) 10-1 (Reid, Garvan, Haynes 6, Bouazza 2)

Future looking bright with Haynes starting this season like he finished the last, with 12 goals scored in just 5 games!

One major warning for all players - SAVE REGULARLY! as Ian Wright has just tried to offload SWP over the top of my head! I am currently trying to stop this by setting my asking price low enough for chairman not to intervene, and just rejecting them all! Hope that helps!!
