President's Patter for 17th Jan 2015

We managed to get 6 of our 7 fixtures played thanks to our ground staff for their hard work. 
Not at ground this weekend so a bit light on detail. The 1st XI drew 1-1 with HSBC away from home continuing their improved form.
The Res XI after many away games returned home and defeated Merton 2-1, this was an important win because they are also challenging for promotion.
The 3rd XI surprisingly lost 5-2 at home to Old Stationers after their great start to the season they are having a bad patch but skipper Danny Green still managed a brace.
The 4th XI got back to winning ways with a 4-0 victory at Old Parks which consolidated their place at the top of the table. 
The 5th XIs game was called off at Crouch End Vamps. 
The 6th XI fixture was switched to Norsemen at the last minute due to pitches unplayable at Old Stationers, but sadly went down 0-1. 
The 7th XI playing their first game for 5 weeks were a bit rusty and lost by the odd goal in a 5 goal thriller.
We are still in good shape to gain a couple of promotions this season so it is important that we have as many people available each week as possible so risk the wrath of your partner and put Saturday afternoons aside for playing football.
