30 Nov 2004 - Weekend
Review - the 1s were defeated for the first time in
the league this season when they lost 0-2 to leaders EBOG.
Another good game to watch with EBOG having more of a
cutting edge. The 2s went mad at South Bank running
out 5-1 winners... with centre forward, Michael Pickett in
goal! Good to see them all return to the Clubhouse and
have a beer or 2. All other sides please take
note. The 3s barely held on to their unbeaten record
in the league with a late equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Old
Wilsonians. The 4s lost at Ignatians in Enfield in the
AFA Minor Cup - disappointingly being let down by 2 late
cry-offs.
The 5s entertained us with a 3-2 win over Southgate County
4s, which was not as close as the scoreline suggests.
The 6s lost in extra time to Alexandra Park in the SAL Cup
despite a Dave Robins hattrick. The Vets gained a
customary win at Temple Bar with Tony van Emst scoring his
customary goal for the season at Kingswood.
On Sunday the U10s lost 1-4 at Tooting & Mitcham but the
game was a lot closer than that suggests. The U13s had
an excellent 2-0 win at Sheen Lions and the U16s drew a
blank at Camberley.
30 Nov 2004 - Sponsorship
- New Deal Announced many
thanks to Club stalwart Keith Cave for sponsoring the new
1st team strip, that bears his company logo. It marks
a return to the traditional green shirts with white sleeves,
black shorts, green & white hooped socks.
Any one interested in sponsoring a team should contact us at
carshaltonfc@hotmail.com.
It is vital for the future of the Club that we secure
sponsorship deals like this.
30 Nov 2004 - 2s
Christmas Bash - the 2s are arranging a Christmas
Booze Up on Saturday 18th December. It is NOT a 2s
only event and ALL Club members are invited along.
Details will be made available on this web site as soon as
they are passed on. I'm sure it will be a very quiet
affair!!
30 Nov 2004 - Club
Membership List - the more observant will have
noticed the list of paid Club members that have appeared in
the Clubhouse. This will be updated each week from our
records. If your name does not appear and you have
paid, send an email to carshaltonfc@hotmail.com
stating how much you paid, when you paid and to whom you
paid.
From next week we will be publishing the names of those in
the squads who have not paid and therefore will no longer be
considered for selection.
25 Nov 2004 - Letter from
Alan Waight -
Having gone to West Wickham last
Saturday to watch our 1st XI and stayed for a while being
sociable after the match (in which by the way
we were always going to come second to a very fit and
young Wickham side), I returned to our Club at approx 6pm
to find to my surprise and disappointment only a handful
of people in the Bar. The subject of support came up with
Rod and one or two other stalwarts and, as Rod so rightly
pointed out, we stand or fall financially by the revenue
across the Bar. It seems to me that at least the 1st XI,
having left Wickham before I did, could at least have made
the effort to come back!
Perhaps the players shouldn't complain too
much if the Match Fees/Subs have to be increased next
Season. If it wasn't for the Old Gits in the corner
things would be even worse. Come on lads all Teams should
make the effort to support our Club!!
.....An Old Git!!17 Nov 2004 - November's
Committee Meeting - the following points are
highlighted by your Committee for all Club members'
attention...
Match Fees are £85 for home games and £65 for away
games per team. From the home match fee, £22 is
payable to the referee, £20 for teas and the remaining £43
is paid to the Club. For away games, the full £65 is paid
to the Club. How these figures are collected is down
to the individual skippers of each team, so be aware that
there may be discrepancies in what is charge to individuals
in different teams, but the final figures handed to the Club
are always the same.
Please note that all Disciplinary Fines carry a Club
admin fee, which means that bookings are £10 and this must
be paid to your skipper on the day of the offence.
Should the booking not "come through", you will be
reimbursed.
Goalposts and nets are NEVER to be left up overnight.
17 Nov 2004 - Match
Reports - another very impressive week with reports
from the 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 6s, 2 backdated reports from the
7s, a report from the vets, U10s and U13s - and all by
Tuesday. I'll let Andy and the 5s off, as they didn't
have a game, but maybe a report on the shopping trip with
the missus could be submitted.
Thanks to all contributers.
14 Nov 2004 - Weekend
Review - the
1s had little difficulty seeing off a battling Crouch End
Vampires side in the first round of the AFA Senior Cup with
goals from Jon Phillips, Adam Taylor and a Keith Cave
penalty. Crouch End's "goal" was at least a
foot from crossing the line - oh for linesmen / assistant
referees in senior games - or the appointed referee making
the game!
The 2s also progressed in the AFA Surrey Intermediate Cup
with a very comfortable 3-0 win in Kent (!) over Chislehurst Sports -
goals from Shane Bowes, Paul Pearce and a spectacular own
goal sealed their place in round 2. Ross Sinclair
saved a penalty with his legs - the ball bounced out for a
throw-in on the full.
The 3s had a nightmare start, missing 4 main players and
going a goal down in the first minute. However they
recovered thanks to Jack Goodman's composed hattrick and a
clincher from Richard Matthews to put out Merton 4-2 and go
through to round 1 of the SAL Cup, where they will face West
Wickham at home on 4 December. The 4s earned a
good point at HSBC, but Captain Jenvey was disappointed not
to have secured all 3.
The 5s game with Old Salesians was postponed, while the 6s
and 7s tasted defeat to Alleyn Old Boys (in the league) and
Crouch End Vampires (in the SAL Cup) respectively. The
Vets went down 2-4 at Chelsea Old Players.
On Sunday, the U10s lost narrowly to high flying Molesey
Juniors, the U13s hung on to beat AC Fulham 3-2 after being
3-0 up at halftime and the U16s did themselves proud, losing
3-4 against opposition who had beaten them 1-15 only 4 weeks
previously.
