Avery Good Long Good Friday Started with A Round Robin Vets Competition won by Epsom Athletic. But Merton beat OWCs Vets who were drowning their sorrows in the bar (What sorrows?). Merton Select beat Argentinos 5-2 in a very good game on a beautiful day. The U13s beat Mitcham Park and the U10s beat Wallington Wanderers in two good games. Thanks to everyone who turned up to support this event and to Peter Kemp, Jasper, Sherbs, Steve and Dave Laughton who helped with organisation, reffing bar food etc etc.

Excellent results at the Hood – The U11s beat West Side 9-2 and the U12s beat Esher Lions 4-1, the U13s beat a very good Kew Park Rangers 5-3. Mason and Niqoy operating as stand in keeper as Jamie was ill. Also next years U9s started their training for next season. Then all in the bar for a spot of lunch to celebrate the homecoming. Well done to all the managers and Steve for organising the event.

Today results. 1s make it three wins on the bounce with a big win at Old Finchleans with Bosh a two goal hero. 2s win 4-3 at home to Ally Pally with Olly Ross getting a hat trick . 5s lose 2-1 at home to Civil Service but battle to the end 6s lose both double headers 3 – 2 and 2 – 1. 1s look safe from relegation now and 2s can fight their way out of trouble now. Pics 2s celebrate in the bar and some action from 2s game !!! 4s lost away to HSBC 4s 5 -2.

2s had a great win today and pulled in some experience to help them with four of our players all having 15 years with Merton and 1000+ appearances between them Lofty, Mustard, Welchy and Sherbs stepped up to the plate today and helped in the 4-3 win and a valuable 3 points. Big game at CEV on April 2nd

Back Home. As the pics below show the Hood has dried out and we will be playing home games at the Hood tmro 2s and 4s. Sadly Pitch 3 is still unplayable so KGPF has been booked. Also Four of our youth teams are playing on Sunday. And looks good for Long Good Friday. To celebrate this momentous homecoming i am trying to get local churches to ring their bells at 3pm on Saturday but because of the short notice it is more likely to happen on Sunday morning.  Thanks to Danny, Ian, Ryan and the team from the Council at the Hood for their work this week to get it ready.
