Match Report - COGGESHALL BLUES - 30 Nov 2025

Colchester Villa faced Coggeshall Blues at Marks Tey Village Hall on 30 November 2025, with kick-off at 11:45am in a tightly contested five-a-side encounter. The match lasted 40 minutes plus injury time, concluding with Coggeshall Blues securing a 3-0 victory over Colchester Villa in front of a sizeable crowd of 15,890 spectators.

Colchester Villa lined up in a 1-2-1 formation, a setup that typically features one goalkeeper, a single defensive player, and three attacking players spread across the front line. This formation demands a disciplined defensive presence to shield the goal, while the trio upfront are expected to combine creativity, width, and goal threat. The solitary defensive player would have been tasked with breaking up opposition attacks and initiating forward play, while the goalkeeper’s role was crucial in organising the backline and making key saves.

Colchester Villa’s efforts to respond to Coggeshall's early lead were hindered by the Blues’ organised defence and clinical finishing.

Teddy 20 was named Player of the Match, a testament to his influential performance, whether battling performance in midfield or as goalkeeper including one outstanding save, a true captain's performance.

In summary, despite a valiant effort from Colchester Villa, Coggeshall Blues proved the stronger side on the day, utilising their attacking prowess and tactical discipline to claim a slightly flattering 3-0 triumph in this competitive, fast-paced fixture at Marks Tey Village Hall.
