Some top performances this week by the lower end of the club!
The 5’s had a terrific game against an experienced Eastcote team – bolstered by Jessica and BB, they went down by a single goal and should take a lot of heart from this performance
The 4’s had an amazing 8-goal thriller against Leighton Buzzard who apparently quote should thrash a 4th team unquote and it looked they were right as they raced into a 3-goal lead before being pegged back by young Kam (who was very pleased with himself and was willing to buy a round to celebrate but was a little hindered by the fact he had no money – fortunately Uncle Mandip stepped up!!) and so he should as LB then went 4-1 up in the second half before Uncle M rattled home no. 2 himself. From that point, it was all Ashford and little Stef swept home no.3 before Luke or maybe Weapon X scored the equaliser with 10 mins to go and then run out of time pushing for what would have been a memorable winner.
The 3’s are finally off and running with a close-fought 2-1 win over fellow strugglers, GX – report at some point
The 2’s looked good again and had the game in the first 20 but leaked goals finally losing 7-2 while the 1’s made the long trip to Maidstone in horrible conditions for no reward as they had a similar story to the 2’s falling away in the second half to lose by 5 goals.
