President's Patter for 14th Feb 2015

We continue this post in the absence of our President.
Again the weather heavily affected our programme last weekend, but we still managed to get our 3 Home fixtures played.
The 1st XI continue their rich vein of form with an excellent 3-0 victory over Kew Association. 2 goals from Errol Ibrahim, the second something special from the young forward who has risen from the 7th XI earlier in the season to seal a well earned victory. Confidence is a wonderful thing in football, this together with a great spirit and outstanding leadership has lifted them to a challenging position for a much needed Promotion chance.
The Res XI had an outstanding victory 5-0 away to Polytechnic, who are a close rival in challenging for the SAL Div 2 Intermediate Championship.
The 3rd XI had their game at Alleyn Old Boys cancelled.
The 4th XI went down by the odd goal in a 9 goal thriller to Old Garchonians, who are putting together a serious challenge for the top spot which we have maintained all season to date.
The 5th XI had a 1-3 defeat at home to Old Finchleians and sadly look to be struggling in their Division.
The 6th XI had a great Victory against the top of table team East Barnet OG's 5-3. It is a shame that they got off to a poor start to the season, or they could well be challenging for Promotion.
Unfortunately the 7th XI had to withdraw from their fixture this Saturday.

May I take this opportunity of reminding you all that the ANNUAL DINNER will take place on Friday 24th April 2015 at The Southgate Masonic Hall, Chaseside, Southgate, N14.
