The always-excellent annual Awards Night will be taking place at the Hood on Saturday 1st June. It’s a 4:30 for 5pm start, with the awards aspect comprising the first couple of hours, followed by the Liverpool vs Tottenham in the Champions League final (8pm KO). After last night’s magic, and with flights to Madrid already prohibitive, there’s no better place to watch it than at your beloved Hood. For those who want food (fish or sausage), it’s a tenner incl free drink. Let us know what you would like to via Facebook. Should be another brilliant Merton night. All Merton players, friends and supporters welcome!

Only 2 games today – 1s drew 3-3 at Carshalton (Goals Vanny George and Jamie) MOM George and DOTD Vanny, We had enough good chances to win the game but needed a late equaliser to salvage apoint. Vanny DOTD for a wayward wasteful pass in dying moments when we were breaking for the winner. Their man thought he should be booked for time wasting. ^s having gone to enormous efforts to play their game lost 8-2 at WCE. (GS Lewis and James MOTM -James DOTD- Martin the keeper!!!!

The 2s played out a 2-2 draw, with Ackers and DQ bagging a goal each.

The 3s went down narrowly 2-1, with the goal coming from Aaron.

A 3-1 defeat for the 4s, with Nick Englefield scoring for them.

And now for the good news… the 5s pulled off an excellent 5-2 win, with goals from gaffer Aaron, Isaac, Bitmead and a brace from Marcus.

And then the free-scoring 6s pulled off a thrilling 7-5 victory. Both skipper Dave and Lewis bagged a hat trick, and James chipped in with the other. Special shout out to Dave and Aaron Ackerman for leading their teams to big wins!
