President's Patter for 5th Nov 2016

After my upbeat message of last week I am pleased to say it was followed by another good week.
The 1st XI travelled away to play recent newcomers Old Blues and won 2-0. I understand from our coach Steve that the team are improving weekly both in performance and discipline and have been rewarded with winning 21 points from their first seven games, you can't improve on that, long may it continue.
The Reserves had no game and on the main pitch the 4th XI entertained the Vamps, this was a great game between two good sides and played in a great spirit with Norsemen winning 4-2, both clubs could be proud of their teams.
The 5th XI made the short hop over the A10 to take on the Hill and came away with an excellent 4-1 win, they are strongly challenging to win their league.
The 6th XI had a tough home AFA Cup game against Old Finchleians who were in a division above, we lost 5-1 but the score did not reflect the closeness of the game.
The 7th XI due to the paucity of league fixtures had a friendly against EBOG's 4th XI which resulted in a good 7-5 victory.
This week both the 1st XI and Res XI are at home, a good time to come and see if our good run continues.
