8th February - Calling All Carshalton Members - Training Tuesdays and Thursday's

On Tuesday 9th February players attending training will be going on a run so please can everyone meet at the Church at 7.30pm for a 7.45pm start.

On Thursday 11th February, training will take place as normal under floodlights at the Club so please can members meet at 7.30pm as normal.

Dave Jenvey runs these training sessions each week and is understandably keen that as many Club members as possible attend.

30th January - Weekend Review

The Carshalton 1st XI suffered a gut wrenching defeat against title challengers Crouch End Vampires when, after dominating a second half in which we hit the woodwork four times, Crouch End broke away and scored the winner with just five minutes remaining. There is however a long way to go this season and the 1st team must set their sights on achieving at least 20 points from their remaining 9 fixtures to give them a great chance of promotion.

The second team were edged out 3v2 against arch rivals Merton with incredibly the 2nd team's 67 year old manager Charlie Sinclair coming off the bench to score Carshalton's second! The 5's drew 2v2 against Polytechnic while the 6s, missing several regulars, were drubbed 7v0 by BB Eagles away. Let's hope the missing players are available for this Saturday's Cup semi-final at home against BB Eagles with a Cup Final beckoning! Well done to the 7th team for their victory in the cup away to Old Wokingians and to the 8s for a home victory against South Bank.

16th January - 1st XI and 3rd XI HOME MATCHES ARE ON

Many thanks to you all. We need to encourage this attitude amongst all Club members in every side every Saturday to help build a strong and enjoyable Club spirit.
The two main pitches at Carshalton FC have passed a morning inspection and the 1st XI match against EBOG and the 3rd XI match against Weirside Rangers will both go ahead as planned with 2pm kick-offs.

5th January - Boxing Day and New Years Day Fixtures

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Inter Club fixture on Boxing Day. Jamie Fascione's XI beat Ryan Polley's XI (and no it wasn't an 'eat-athon') by 3 goals to 1 with Tony Edwards, Adam Fisk and Nick Ruthen scoring for the victors and Ryan Polley scoring the consolation goal for his beaten team.

On New Years Day a largely hungover Carshalton XI took on an equally hungover Beddington Cricket Club XI on a cold, crisp but sunny morning. Beddington CC played some tidy football in racing to a 3 v 0 lead after an hour, and though Simon Clare and Tom Thoroughgood pulled two goals back, they hung on to win the fixture 3 v 2.

All the players, as well as supporters, friends and family, socialised in the bar after both matches raising valuable funds for the Club. Many thanks to you all. We need to encourage this attitude amongst all Club members in every side every Saturday to help build a strong and enjoyable Club spirit.

14th December - Club Christmas Drinks An Unqualified Success in which Lawler stars!

Thanks to everyone who attended Saturday's Christmas Drinks at the Club. It was a hugely entertaining evening which concluded well passed the scheduled 10pm finish. Special thanks go to Jamie Fascione for organising the event and the raffle, Paul Bourke and Stevie Green for DJ-ing, and to Val, Mel and Bernie for making and selling the mulled wine, mince pies and whatever else they did!

The really special praise though is saved for Dan Lawler for inventing a truly innovative fundraising game at the end of HIS night called "guess Dan Lawler's weight". Five of us were able to enter but it was David Booth who won the special prize which Dan presented him with in the taxi home. Read all about it in the 2nd team match report!

22nd November - Weekend Round Up
No question about the result of the weekend. The 1st XI headed up to North London with just the bare eleven to face a strong Old Finchleians side, and beat them 3-2 to cement their position at the top of the table. Well done to skipper Dave Tilley and the lads, particularly Andrew Taylor who scored twice and tops the goalscoring charts with 7 goals. The 2nd XI also had a cracking result thrashing Wandsworth Borough 5-1 in the AFA Intermediate Cup.

The 6th XI progressed to the semi-final of the SAL Senior Novets Cup after beating Lloyds TSB 4s 4-2. However the 3s and the 5s suffered Cup defeats to Old Stationers and Nottsborough respectively. In the League the 4s and the 7s both drew 1-1 against Old Owens and Old Actonians respectively while the 8s lost a close match against Old Actonians 11s 5-4.
21st November - " WHATTHE FUNK?".....What a Night!

Many thanks to everyone who attended "What The Funk?" at the Clubhouse last Saturday and helped make the evening a great success both in terms of the party itself but also in terms of raising valuable funds for the club through heavy spending over the bar! Special thanks go to Jamie Fascione for organising the event, and also to Paul Bourke and Andrew Walter for their considerable efforts to prepare the Club for the night.
