The 1’s followed on nicely from last week, playing really well for the first 10 minutes and must have surprised Purley Wal’s with their pace and silky team work. Unfortunately we were up against a team who had a couple of quality finishers and they were able to convert a proportion of their chances whereas we couldn’t and the Red-and-Blacks found themselves 5 down in a half where they had just as much play as the oppo! There was only one goal in the second half which rightly went to our boys, Matty Emmerton – literally on goal scoring fire - scoring with a vicious tomahawk reverse-smack.

The 2’s struggled again and can look forward to a break now and hopefully be recharged for the restart.

The 3’s played really well again following on from last week and I know we surprised Sonning with the quality of our play (two of them said after the game ‘ we were surprised with the quality of your play’) – we just couldn’t give the keeper enough to do and the Croxster was pretty busy having to deal with 3 1-on-1’s but he seems to handle them alright so might as well let him get on with it! Mark Bell has joined the team this season and has joined the mini-team we have in the 3’s who like - no prefer no demand - to play with one hand. Anyway on this form Ding Dong will soon be knocking on the 2’s door.

The 4’s had no game but the 5’s had a fun game against Staines 6’s – one down they came back with a cracker from Mr Singh, 2-1 down and then our equaliser was a present for young Luke and then, controversy, a penalty for Staines. Thank the entity of your choice for ‘Dan’ Dare who dived full length belying his age and disability allowance – the wrong way - and it hit the post. Huzzah!!!
