President's Patter for 9th Jan 2016

First Saturday after New Year break, the weather left us with just 3 games.
The reserves had yet another tough game against top of league Nottsborough and lost 5-0, they did not deserve to lose so heavily having battles well against a very strong side for most of the game. It was very competitive but this side has weaknesses in vital positions, which makes it difficult to be optimistic about their chances of avoiding relegation.
However they play the game in the right way, have good team spirit and are good representatives of the club on and off the field.
The 5's had a great win in the AFA Senior Novets Cup coming out on top against higher league opposition Old Finchleians, winning 4-2, this is another well organised side of which we can be proud. Good luck in the 1/4 finals.
To put icing on the cake our struggling 6's beat Winchmore Hill away 5-2.
​Lets hope we can get the 1's back winning next week
