Wed 8th Sep 10 FA Vase Pictures Vs Rothwell Town Tue 24th Aug 10 CUFC Team 2010 - 2011 Wed 11th Aug 10 Cooks Maintain Unbeaten Run The Cooks maintained their unbeaten start to the 2010/11 season with a comprehensive 5-1 away win over Rothwell Corinthians Tuesday night. The Cooks started brightly and could have been in front within the first two minutes after good work from wide man Steve Blackwood opened up an opportunity for Karl Bates to fire a shot past the advancing Corinths keeper only to see his effort hacked off the line by a last ditch defensive tackle. Two minutes later the Cooks opened the scoring. Steve Blackwood who was a threat all game was hauled down on the right hand side of the area, where Jamie Wright swung in the free kick to Damon Herbert who tapped home off the far post. The Cooks continued to press home their advantage and created numerous opportunities failing to add to their lead as a result of some gritty defending. The first half saw the hosts restricted to only half chances and George McLelland was rarely troubled in goal. The second half continued in the same vain with the Cooks reverting to their passing game. A second goal looked on the cards and in the 74th minute Alfie Taylor latched on to a Steve Blackwood cross and coolly found the net. This seemed to deflate Corinthians and following the introduction of substitutes Sam Heavey, Dan Thomason and Joey Evans three further goals came in the last 15 minutes. A fierce shot from Karl Bates gave the keeper no chance, a far post tap in from Steve Blackwood and a scrambled effort from Joey Evans completed the scoring. Corinthians did get a consolation goal when a handling error from the largely redundant George McClellan resulted in an easy tap in. The hosts were also denied what looked a clear penalty and probably summed up their night. A good result for the Cooks who now take on St Ives Town on Saturday in the Extra Preliminary round of the FA Cup.

The Cooks were again struggling with injuries with Dean Lukeman, new signing Mark Hewitt, Jamie Wright, Scott Goodacre and Steve Blackwood all missing out while there was more positive news as Dan Thomason returned to the fold after missing the whole of pre-season through injury. While our visitors showed us a great deal of respect by fielding their entire first team squad which included former football league players, Steve Basham, Chris Wilmott, Marcus Bignall, Simon Travis, Michael Blackwood, and Francis Green. In a very similar game to Bedworth last week the visitors sprung out of the blocks and took the game to the Cooks, looking to dictate their authority on the game and look to take an early lead. Their speed and dive took the Cooks by surprise and it took some time for Andy Marks men to get into the game. Once settled the Cooks re-grouped and started to play some really neat football and outworked our visitors. Wes Emery opened the scoring for the Cooks darting into the box and slotting home a left footed shot past the flailing Brackley keeper. The Cooks then doubled the lead just before halftime when new signing Dan Chilton found himself unmarked from a corner and powered his header past the stunned Brackley backline. The second half was much the same affair with the Cooks outworking the Saints and restricting them to very few opportunities of note. The score remained 2-0 until injury time where our visitors did manage an effort on target and Jon Challinor nodded home from close range. Another really positive display from the Cooks and a result that very few would of picked before kick off looking at the two sides that lined up. Wed 28th Jul 10 Another Spirited Performance See's The Cooks Beat Higher Grade Opposition Tuesday evening saw the visit of Zamaretto Central side Bedworth United to Compton Park in our penultimate pre-season game leading up to the start of the 2010/11 season. New manager Andy Marks had a few selection headaches ahead of this game as he was missing upwards of 7 players unavailable through injury but his makeshift side including a South African trialist worked wonders in an impressive 1-0 win over Bedworth United. After some early Bedworth pressure the Cooks slowly got into the game and started to get behind the Bedworth backline. It wasn't long before the pace of Blackwood caused problems for the back four of Bedworth and he was hauled down for a spot kick, which on form frontman Alfie Taylor dispatched with some force to send the Cooks into a well deserved first half lead. Further chances fell to Blackwood, Karl Bates and Wes Emery before half time but the score remained 1-0 to the Cooks. The second half saw Bedworth again start the half brightly but hardly make our goal keeper make a save in the 90 minutes. Another improved performance from the Cooks although Brackley will prove much tougher opposition this Saturday at Compton Park.

New manager Andy Marks fielded a strong looking starting XI as he looked to build on our midweek victory over Whitworths. Although his preparations were hampered by midfielder Scott Goodacre not making it through the warm up and Jamie Wright & a trialist both pulling up injured after only 5 minutes. None the less the Cooks made their attacking intent by starting with a 4-3-3 formation with Karl Bates, Alfie Taylor & Damon Herbert starting up top for the Cooks, and that paid dividends as all three of the forwards chipped in with goals in a comfortable victory for Andy Marks men. Karl Bates opened the scoring for the Cooks with a 25 yard volley that thundered past the Langford keeper early on and then Damon Herbert doubled the lead with a volley of his own from inside the area. Bates then made it 3-0 following a corner from the left and Alfie Taylor continued his goal scoring touch in front of goal in the second half. George McClellan played extremely well again in goal saving a well struck spot kick follow a dubiously awarded penalty decision late on. All in all it was a good work out for the Cooks who now entertain higher opposition in their final two pre-season friendlies, Tuesday (27th July) see's the Cooks face Zamaretto Midlands side Bedworth United in a 7.45pm kick off and on Saturday (31st July) the Cooks face Zamaretto Premier Brackley Town again here at Compton Park with a 3.00pm kick off. Team: George McClellan Jed Ainge Dan Chilton (Lewis Leslie) Trialist (Gotch) Jamie Wright (Lukeman) Dan Burke Trialist Wes Emery Damon Herbert (Steve Blackwood) Karl Bates Alfie Taylor Saturday also saw the Cooks Reserves take on Alconbury FC in their first pre-season game of the 20010/11 season. New look management duo of James Alger & Lloyd Conlon saw their side come away with a comfortable 3-0 away win over the Peterborough League Premier Division side. Fri 16th Jul 10 Cogenhoe United have unveiled Andy Marks as their new manager. The 28 year old becomes the youngest boss in the Premier Division. Nonetheless he has plenty of managerial experience under his belt already, joining the Cooks after three years at the helm of ON Chenecks who he led to their first ever Northants Junior Cup triumph last year along with back to back top four finishes in Division One. Club chairman Derek Wright commented "Andy made a big impression with the club in an interview three years ago when he applied for the manager's position when Darren Collins was appointed. We asked him to go and get some experience and come and see us again and true to his word he was one of the first to apply for the position. Andy's local knowledge of players is second to none and he has tremendous enthusiasm for the game. We are delighted at our capture. Andy knows he is joining a very well run club and is excited at being given the chance to make the step up at Cogenhoe, a club he has long held ambitions to manage."
