Presidents Patter 8/9/18

A beautiful day at Hydeside all five pitches in use and all well marked out and looking in good condition. The prospects for the new season look good following a lot of hard work by our Committee during the summer both in the financial and playing side of the club. And building a stronger relationship with the youth section.
The first team showed the fruits of an extensive pre-season ,6 matches played, with a commanding performance against Old Finchleians resulting in a 5-1 victory they look a good side in the making with 5 new players making their debut on Saturday. Welcome to our two new coaches Gary Harrowell and our ex player Gary Casey who are now in charge of both 1st and reserve teams something that we have been trying to achieve for some years. The reserves had a good win against Old Parks and the fifths and seventh also won. The Thirds fours and sixth suffered heavy defeats. It seems that some clubs have entered their teams in too low leagues which does not lead to competitive football for either sides. Let’s do even better next week
