President's Patter for Saturday 28th November 2015

Absent this Saturday with pressing engagement at Newbury Racecourse.
Our horse won, sorry if I did not tip you up.
Meanwhile on the field of play the 1st XI returned to winning form with a 3-1 win at AFC Oldsmiths and more importantly, no bookings, it can be done can't it.
We always knew it would be a tough season for the Res XI, they have lost most members of last seasons promotion winning team to the first team and some weeks are playing stronger teams than the 1st XI. They badly need help, so if anybody from last years 1's and Reserves are not playing at moment, this is the time to show your Norsemen spirit and make yourself available.
This week they lost 7-2 to Old Owens.
The 3rd XI had a good win 5-2 at Carshalton, with their talisman claiming another Hat Trick after being 2-0 down. A great effort lads.
The 4th XI had a good 4-1 win over local rivals Winchmore Hill in what was a tough game.
The 5th XI had a good 2-1 win in the AFA Cup against Aloysians, but sadly lost Andreas Pavlou to a badly broken elbow, which will put him on the sidelines for sometime. We wish him a speedy recovery.
The 6th XI had a heavy 4-0 defeat at high flying Old Parks.
The 7th XI lost narrowly to AP 4-3 in a game which had to be switched to Church St Rec due to 3 pitches being unplayable on the main ground.
