News Summary

16 Dec 2003 - Weekend Review - the 1s made it through to the last 16 of the Surrey FA Intermediate Cup with a narrow 2-1 win over Milford & Witney, despite a number of notable absentees.  Goals from Michael Pickett and Mark Raven were enough, despite the obligatory missed penalty from Matt Wigham!  They will face Continental Stars at Beddington Park on 17 January.  Reports are already in from Ian Lewis and Mark Raven!!

Other results were generally not so good.  The 2s lost ground on the leaders with a 2-4 defeat at Weirside Rangers.  The 3s match was called off when too many players either cried off or were never available.  This will result in points deduction and a fine.  The Committee will discuss this matter at tomorrow's meeting and action will be taken against those who have tarnished the reputation of the Club.  

The 4s, 5s and 7s lost, while a Rory O'Brien hattrick and a goal from Barry Gowland gave the 6s a welcome win.  The Vets game with Old Tiffs had to be called off as we were unable to field enough players.

On Sunday, the U9s lost their 100% league record with a 0-3 defeat at Whitton and the U15s also lost at Staines Town.  However there were good wins for the U13s (4-0 over Manorcroft United) and the U16s (3-0 over Westfield) in their league matches.

11 Dec 2003 - Weekend Review - the 1s made it 15 goals in 3 games with a comfortable 5-0 win at bottom side Old Lyonians - all this without Neil Backers who was on holiday - and had the strips - nice one Neil.  So the first clean sheet of the season goes to Club Captain, Andy Cook, who took over between the sticks!!!!!  Not surprisingly we have 2 first team reports - one from the skipper and another from Mark Raven.

The 2s won with a single Tony Edwards goal at Bank of England - a good result.  Sadly the other results were not so good as all other teams lost.  

On Sunday the U9s made it 9 out of 9 with a 3-0 win over Man U (that's Manorcroft United).  The U13s ran a strong Epsom Eagles side close, but lost 2-4, but they remain well up the league in their first season in the Premier Division.
