On Friday Emily and I put up my very first soccer goal!! I was tempted too but I decided it would be really cool if one of my players take the first shot on it! So my man Ashton Durham, in the short video above, slammed in a great first kick and then topped it off with an excellent goal celebration!

Stevenage will get home this evening and wonder how they didn't end up taking all 3 points after a dominant second half performance. Although Kettering had a couple of opportunities in added time, the second half was mostly at the other end as a host of Boro players missed chances to give the Hertfordshire side the victory.

Boro's good form continued on Saturday with a hard working win against Salisbury. Boro lined up with Bostwick one again at centre half and Yemi Odubade continuing up front alongside former Salisbury man Charlie Griffin. Once again Lee Boylan and Mitchell Cole missed out through injury and they were joined by Eddie Odhiambo who picked up a knock last week against Hayes & Yeading.

On the back of Boro's biggest win of the season so far last Saturday, we entertain in-form Salisbury at The Lamex Stadium tomorrow. It may prove to be a tough game however history is on our with 4 wins and one draw in our last 6 meetings. Our last defeat was back in March 2008 when Matt Tubbs scored a last gasp winner to deny Peter Taylor's team from going second in the league at the time.

Popular British comedian and actor Russell Brand recently shared his passion for West Ham United on the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show.

Brand sang a couple of West Ham United songs to amuse Fallon, the former Saturday Night Live star who played in the American version of the film, Fever Pitch, which bastardized the Nick Hornby novel and turned it into a baseball film.

Next up for Boro is a trip to Field Mill and Mansfield Town. Graham Westley's side are 3 matches unbeaten since the 2-1 defeat at the Kassam Stadium against leaders Oxford United on the 22nd August. Tomorrow's game will be a big test for the team. Down the years, Stevenage never seem to play well or get results at 'big' grounds and Mansfield will be no different.

Stevenage continued their recent improvement, brushing aside Eastbourne Borough 2-0 at Broadhall Way. Boro dominated the game throughout and could of won by more had the 3 strikers of Boylan, Cole and Beardsley had their shooting boots on.

Westley named a 4-3-3 formation with Michael Bostwick, Joel Byrom and Stacy Long all starting in midfield.

Boro returned to action at Histon just 2 days after the victory over Rushden on Saturday. Graham Westley named a strange side and formation to try and counter the strong, physical Histon threat. Mark Albrighton started alongside Mark Roberts and Jon Ashton while Laird and Henry were given freedom as wing backs.

.Back in January the odds on Burnley beating both Manchester United and Everton by one goal to nil would have been significantly high. The town of Burnley only is only home to around 73,000 residents (the smallest in the division), they have the smallest wage bill in the Premier League and their transfer funds are [.

Three goals, three points, a clean sheet and a good performance to go with it as Boro crushed Ebbsfleet 3-0 tonight at Broadhall Way. Graham Westley's side continued their steady improvement and showed a clinical edge in front of goal this evening to win the game and install some confidence into the side ahead of the trip to Oxford on Saturday.

Today was another game where Stevenage were held by opposition you would expect to be beating if your side are serious challengers for promotion. It hasn't been the start that Graham Westley would of been hoping for. After last season started slowly, they ended the campaign strongly to finish the season in the play-offs and it looks like Westley may have to repeat the trick again this season to try and win promotion.

Stevenage completed their pre-season schedule on a high and go into next week's opener against newly promoted Tamworth brimming with confidence. The double header against Southend and Woking yielded a win and a draw from the two games, but not against the teams that you and I would of expected.

The season ended on a high in a sunny North London as Stevenage Borough beat York City 2-0 to win the FA Trophy at Wembley. It was the perfect end to what has been a difficult week for the club. Boro were the dominant force throughout and what could of been a trciky encounter ended up being a walk in the park for Graham Westley's side.

It seems very weird that Stevenage are playing in a FA Trophy Final tomorrow afternoon. Somehow there is not the same buzz there was 2 years ago when Mark Stimson's side played Kidderminster Harriers in the first competitive final at the new Wembley Stadium. I don't know whether it is the fact that the stadium has lost its new 'magic' or that the main aim of the club this season has been promotion from the Blue Square Premier.

If, like me you're still trying to get to grips with the play-off semi-final second leg defeat at the Abbey Stadium on Monday then I've found the best thing to do is begin to look forward to next season. In my opinion there's a lot to be excited about. For the first time in years we should have more or less the same squad and management team in August.

Stevenage will have a two goal lead to defend at the Abbey Stadium on Bank Holiday Monday. Graham Westley's side dug deep and pulled out a fantastic second half performance to give them the edge going into the second leg in 4 days time. Even after the sending off of Darren Murphy, goals from Mark Roberts and a brace from Steve Morison sent Broadhall Way crazy in a thrilling second half.

A big game tonight and another big win for Graham Westley's side. If only we had hit the ground running back in August!

Stevenage have been superb since December. If the season had begun at the beginning of that month, then Boro would be comfortable winners of the Blue Square Premier.

After a fantastic 24 match unbeaten run it all came to a dramatic end a couple of weeks ago with defeat at Kidderminster, however bouncing back was key and last Tuesdays impressive 2-1 win against rivals Cambridge certainly showed that despite having injuries, suspensions and a terrible referee we are able to compete at the top end of the table.

Emmanuel Adebayor combined balance, poise and power to score his stunning bicycle-kick goal on Tuesday night. Our man at the game, Neil Ashton, hailed it "a masterpiece . . . already in goal of the century territory".

But the Arsenal striker will have to do better to be included in our.

Manchester City's last-second shopping list: Berbatov, Gomez, Villa, Ashton, Podolski...did I miss anyone? This is stark. raving. mad.

This transfer saga has been rumbling on ever since the end of the European Championships in July. Tottenham's lengthy pursuit of Zenit St Petersburg striker Andrei Arshavin is now officially off after the Zenit boss Dick Advocaat admitted Spurs were £6 million short with their bid.
The Russian international claimed last week that he had agreed terms with Spurs and now it was just a case between the two clubs to agree a fee for his services. Click to continue reading...

Three Lions fans have been praying for a quality forward for years.
For Ashton, this was going to be the year. Focused to impress the national team's new coach, nothing it seemed could hold the 24-year-old back.
He even gave up his favorite food -- pizza -- in an effort to be in the best shape possible, after English coach Fabio Capello told him to lose some weight. Click to continue reading...

West Ham United's website is reporting that Ashton's scan on his injured leg has reported no problems and come back all clear. They state he will "continue to be monitored but is hopeful of being back in action this coming weekend". Expect to see him playing between 70-80 minutes.
This is good news for West Ham and also for the 19,000 fantasy managers who had transferred him into their squad already. Click to continue reading...

From Knees Up Mother Brown; Within the last 36 hours Aston Villa are thought to have tempted the Hammers by offering a figure in the region of £25million for Ashton and team mate Anton Ferdinand, whose future at the club had been under threat all summer.

Is it just me or are we linked with every striker in Europe that's around the £20m+ mark?
In the last week Spurs have been linked with Villa, Ashton, Arshavin, Pavlacheynko and even bloody Diego Forlan. And let's not forget it's only been a few weeks since we were apparently in the market for Lukas Podolski and Ruud Van Nistelrooy! Click to continue reading...

Hmm, Hillcrest predicts a 3-1 MLS win with goals from Gomez, Cooper, Beckham and Faubert. We get a 3 (nice)-2 MLS win (nice) with goals from Gomez (nice), Blanco and De Rosario for the All-Stars. Ashton scored twice for West Ham. Three correct predictions on the match? Not bad. Correctly predicting the most important aspect (the winner), even better. Click to continue reading...
