Generally a good week the first team returned to league action after several weeks of postponements and cup games with a home game against Merton who are struggling in the league.
We ran out easy winners by 3-0. As the season progresses our squad is getting thin and once again we had no substitutes this is going to cost us if it continues. The reserves had an easy 6-1 win against Old Blues, the fourths staged a great fight back against EBOG thirds 3-0 down at half time we ran out 4-3 winners. The fifths lost 5-0 to table topping Old Owens. The sixth team did the same as the fours and came back from a 5-0 deficit to win 10-5 against 9 men and the sevens scored a good away win 4-0 against the Hill. It is disappointing to hear that despite us providing excellent facilities we have members who are reluctant to pay their way who do they think provides the money to run the club

After a two week break due to weather we took on Division 1 leaders Polytechnic in the semi-final of the Middx/Essex AFA cup.
This was always going to be a tough game and the absence of our two main strikers did not make it any easier. The pace of the game found us adrift in the first half and having survived most of the first half conceded a goal just before the interval. In the second half we came more into the game and had several near misses but were unable to get the equaliser not helped by only having one half fit sub. A couple of comments to make our behaviour on the pitch is now good they had one man sent off we did not this would not have happened last season so progress there. To go to a match like this with virtually no subs is ridiculous whatever fixture the reserves had at least two players should have been promoted for this important fixture that’s how football works we are a Club after all not 6 different teams. The rest of the results were poor with the reserves losing there unbeaten record to West Wickham third team regrettably we did not take our defeat well making the mistake of blaming the ref which never helps The fours and sevens drew and the fifths lost. Back to the league for the ones this week this is an important game we need to not suffer an anti climax after our cup ventures. At the first sign of bad weather we immediately get a mass of postponements which included our first team away to Ally Pally.
We made a big effort and had two pitches available the reserves inflicted a good 4-1 victory against Previously unbeaten Broomfield ‘A’ who I think are there first team. The fourths lost in the last minute in the cup but the sixes had a good win against the Hill. Lets hope the weather improves so the first team can get back to league games as the next two Saturdays after that are both cup games |
