Roebuck And Club Koyla Draw 2-2 At Brown West Head Park

Roebuck hosted Club Koyla at Brown West Head Park on 19 October 2025, with kick-off at 10:45am in a keenly contested league fixture. The match ended in a 2-2 draw after a pulsating 90 minutes of football under the watchful eye of referee Joshua Hyde.

Roebuck lined up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation, deploying Chris Hubball in goal. The defensive line featured Lewis Perry at right back, Kevin Burns and Jack Wentworth as central defenders, and Bradley Hackett on the left. In midfield, Grahame Street operated on the right flank, James Beddard and Dan Lees occupied the central midfield roles, while Michael Woodall took up the left midfield position. Up front, Christopher Hunt led the line on the right with Cameron Cramer partnering him on the left. This setup was designed to provide balance across the pitch, with full-backs expected to support both defence and attack, central midfielders tasked with controlling the tempo, and forwards looking to exploit spaces and convert chances. The substitutes named were Jamie Hyde, Kyle Glaze, Oliver Parkes, and Luke Boden.

The match burst into life early on when Roebuck took the lead in the 14th minute. Michael Woodall delivered a precise free kick into the box, finding Cameron Cramer who was perfectly positioned to tap in from close range. This early goal set the tone for an open and competitive encounter.

However, Club Koyla responded strongly and levelled the score in the 26th minute with a composed tap-in, signalling their intent to challenge for all three points. The visitors then took the lead before half-time, scoring another tap-in in the 36th minute, leaving Roebuck trailing as the teams approached the break.

At the interval, Roebuck made two immediate changes. Jamie Hyde replaced Christopher Hunt up front, while Kyle Glaze came on for Grahame Street on the right wing. These substitutions aimed to inject fresh energy and sharpen the attacking threat as Roebuck sought to claw back the deficit.

The second half saw Roebuck quickly restore parity. In the 52nd minute, Lewis Perry delivered a well-measured cross into the box, which Jamie Hyde converted with a neat tap-in, bringing the score to 2-2. This goal revitalised the home side and set up a tense remainder of the match.

Further changes followed as Roebuck looked to maintain their momentum. Oliver Parkes came on for Jack Wentworth in defence in the 68th minute, and Luke Boden replaced Bradley Hackett on the left side of defence three minutes later. These tactical adjustments aimed to shore up the backline and provide greater stability.

In the 75th minute, Roebuck made a double substitution, bringing back Christopher Hunt for Michael Woodall and reintroducing James Beddard in place of Grahame Street. These moves sought to refresh the midfield and attacking options as Roebuck pushed for a winner.

Despite these efforts, neither side could find a decisive goal, and the match concluded in a hard-fought 2-2 draw. The referee, Joshua Hyde, officiated with authority and consistency throughout, ensuring a fair contest.

Roebuck will reflect on a game where they showed resilience to come from behind twice, while Club Koyla demonstrated their quality by taking the lead on two occasions. Both teams shared the spoils in what was an entertaining and evenly matched league encounter at Brown West Head Park.
