President's Patter for 20th Sept 2014

Afraid not around this Saturday so relying on reports from my correspondents.
The 1st XI had a much needed first win 5-4 against HSBC with a spirited performance, but smacks of some weakness in defence which maybe caused by selection problems yet to be resolved. 
The Res XI had no game the 3rd XI continued their good form with a last minute winner at Finchleians and now stand at the top of their table. 
The 4's won at Broomfield 3-1, the 5's drew 3-3 against the Vamps despite leading on 3 occasions, those two teams are now and 1st and 2nd in their division.
The 6th XI lost in a high scoring 5-7 match following some careless Goalkeeping and the 7's drew with Finchleians 2-2. 
Overall a good start to the season for the club in general with work to be done on the first team, they have no match this Saturday so this gives us breathing space to get some of our unavailables back on the pitch to mount a promotion campaign which is the very least that a club of our standing should be aiming for.
Ret Frem!!!
