President's Patter for Saturday 12th December 2015

An important game for the 1st XI, meeting their closest rivals South Bank Cuaco at Hydeside.
A tough game ensued with a goalless first half and the play even, we took the lead thanks to a bad goalkeeping error but were soon pegged back by conceding a soft equaliser. Our superior fitness began to take effect and we won the match by scoring two good late goals.This team is young and fit and could go far, but another two bookings which we can ill afford. We really need to impress our own disciplinary rules, to try and avoid trouble at the end of the season.
The Res XI, 5th XI & 7th XI were postponed.
The 3rd XI reluctantly played their AFA Junior Cup tie on an artificial pitch and lost 3-2 to Old Parms.
The 4th XI lost 1-4 to EBOG's 4s in theior AFA Minor Cup tie.
The 6th XI lost away to EBOG 6s.
Last games for 2015 this week lets end the year on a high note.
