February 2004

News Summary

29 Feb 2004 - Give a Frog a Home - the French are coming.  This Easter, Montreuil Bellay are hoping to travel to Carshalton FC with a party of approximately 35 people.  All Carshalton members are requested to assist in the hosting of our visitors and offers of accommodation should be sent to John Thoroughgood, who is co-ordinating these matters at this time.

29 Feb 2004 - AFA Junior Cup Final - Carshalton FC will be hosting the final on 20 March between UCL Academicals and Alexandra Park.  We ask that all members extend a warm welcome to the players and fans of both sides.

29 Feb 2004 - Weekend Review - the 1s went further into relegation trouble with a 2-4 home defeat at the hands of Finchleians who go second.  The 2s lost their AFA Surrey Intermediate Cup semi final 0-2 against Royal Sun Alliance 1st XI.  3s and 4s had further defeats, while the 5s and 7s drew.  The 6s secured the only win of the day with a thumping 5-0 win at home, with Dave Robins netting the first 4 and Trevor Boughton finishing the scoring.  The Vets did well to restrict a strong HAC to a 1-0 scoreline

On Sunday the U9s finished off their league season with a 1-2 reverse against the champions.  The U13s lost against a strong Predators team.  U16s drew 1-1 at Meadow Sports.

23 Feb 2004 - Weekend Review - the 2s threw away a 2 goal lead with 10 minutes to go and were hanging on at the end to a 3-3 scoreline with Neil Collard getting a brace and Michael Pickett scoring his 6th of the season.  The 7s registered the only win of the day when they defeated Lloyds 7s 3-0 away.

Otherwise it was a miserable set of results with only the 4s scoring a goal in their 1-5 home defeat by Actonians.  All other sides lost and failed to score.  What happened?!

On Sunday the U9s drew 0-0 in the league, the U13s lost in the Surrey Cup quarter final and the U16s had a walkover when Corinthian Casuals were unable to fulfill the fixture.  The U15s had a very eventful Sunday, drawing 5-5 with Oxted!!

18 Feb 2004 - Weekend Review - apologies for the late update of the web site this week, but our office staff have been on their half term break.

The 1s went out of the Surrey Intermediate Cup at the quarter final stage after a 0-2 reverse at Tongham.  Now they need to concentrate all efforts in getting themselves off the foot of the SAL Div 2 table.

The 2s game with Old Stationers was postponed as a mark of respect for Kevin Crowley of Old Stationers 2nd XI, who was killed the previous week in a road traffic accident.  The Club sends its sympathies to Old Stationers and his family.

The 3s were spanked 0-5 by high flying Alexandra Park and the 4s lost narrowly at Old Owens.  The 7s had another good win over Kew 9s. 

Performance of the week goes to the 6s who reached the SAL Cup Final for the 3rd year in a row with a huge 4-3 win over Polytechnic 6s who are top of the division above.  A remarkable achievement and many congratulations to Dave Jenvey and his men, who will face Old Finchleians 6s in the final.

On Sunday, the U13s and U15s lost in the league while the U16s reached the Surrey Cup semi final after a win on penalties over AFC Ewell.  They now play at Tooting & Mitcham on 21 March.

9 Feb 2004 - Weekend Review - the 1s had a very disappointing result when they threw away a number of chances and 3 points at home to Old Parmiterians.  The 2s collected a useful point at Old Parms after skipper Tony Edwards was unable to travel.  The 3s had a very good win over Broomfield, but the 4s remain in relegation spot after their 2-5 home defeat to West Wickham.  The 6s and 7s had comfortable wins in the league and the Vets overcame a very youthful Old Tiffinians "veterans" side.  Their performance in the kitchen showed just what they have been doing since their retirement.

On Sunday the U9s lost 1-2 at champions elect Hampton Wanderers, the U13s lost the lead of the Premier division to Tooting & Mitcham, while both the U15s and U16s had good wins in the league.

9 Feb 2004 - Reg Swinburne - the Club sends its best wishes and condolences to the Crouch End Vampires and the family and friends of Reg Swinburne, who died last week.  Reg was well known as one of the great stalwarts of SAL football and we shall miss him.

2 Feb 2004 - Weekend Review - all games were called off on Saturday, and the only surviving game on Sunday was the U9s emphatic 13-0 win over Hampton Youth.  Birthday boy Jordan Cooley scored 8!  The report is on the web site.
