Todays Results.

A slightly disappointing and wet start to the season. The 1s and 2s SAL games were called off as Lloyds Warren could not fulfil the fixtures. The 2s had a very good friendly with South Bank which they managed to draw 3-3 after being 3-0 up. Good game though! 3s lost their first league game away at Ally Pally 5-1. Tough oppo. And the 4s lost 4-1 to Old Acts in their first league game The 5s won 4-0 against South Bank with goals from Dwayne Bedford, Andy Bitmead, Delman Babaker and Billy on his debut. The 6s beat Old Wilsonians 2-1 but we scored all the goals with Mark Chappell scoring an o.g. for the oppo! That’s was two in two for him.

And throughout a miserable wet afternoon they completed a cricket match. Bless ’em!!

Today’s Results. A cracking afternoon at the Hood. Our 3s had a great game with Shaun Jones’s vets side. Really good game which we won 6-2. In the inter club friendly the 1s beat the 2s 3-2 again a really good game. Our 5s lost 3-1 to Alleyns. 4s drew 2-2 to a West Wickham 4 team which are a league above them. 6s lost 7-2 to old blues who decided to field 4 1st tam players in the game which took it away from being the close contest it had been. Some good performances from a few new faces and lots of positive to take forward.
