30 Aug 2007 - Old
Owens 6-a-side Tournament - despite late cry-offs, a Carshalton team consisting of Senior Squad players Danny Lawler, James Horton, Richard Webb,
Badgie, Justin Said and
manager / veteran keeper Ian Lewis, turned in a magnificent performance on a blisteringly hot Bank Holiday Monday at the Old Owens Six-a-Side Tournament. Having qualified for the knock-out stage from an extremely tough group that had included the 2006 winners, Potters Bar Rovers, and also Ibis, KCS Wimbledon, Old Aldenhamians and Goffs Old Boys, the team eventually went out of the competition in the semi finals, losing by the odd goal in five in one of the best games of the day. Incidentally, the Senior Squad injury list grows ever longer - the manager's goalkeeping exploits during the semi final resulting in his breaking a bone in the hand and cracking another in the wrist!

Senior Squad Friendly - the Senior Squad started their pre season schedule of games last Saturday with an
exciting display at Hawes Down School in Hayes where they comprehensively defeated their hosts Old Wilsonians by six goals to nil. One goal up at the break, courtesy of Andy Clower's 31st minute strike, manager Ian Lewis watched his young side dominate the second period, scoring a further five goals through Shane Bowes (49 & 66), James Horton (51) and Justin Said (59 & 67).

18 Aug 2007 - Trial
Matches - The Club's pre season programme of fixtures got underway on Saturday with two eagerly contested friendlies against Old Wilsonians at Sparrows Den. In the first of these, goals from Tyrone Cross after 33 minutes and Richard Clark on 68 minutes looked to have secured victory for a combined 3s & 4s side overseen by Tony Edwards and Ben Doherty. However, the hosts hit back in the 79th minute, and then with less than a minute remaining found an equalising goal to earn a creditable draw.
On the adjacent pitch, despite dominating for much of the play and hitting the woodwork on
two occasions, a combined 6s & 7s side with Matt Boyman and Andy Walters at the helm were rather unlucky to be two goals down before Tom Thoroughgood headed a well deserved consolation goal in the 89th minute.

Change to Friendlies - a few changes to the
pre season schedule - note there are a couple of trial
matches (basically to see prospective new players in
action) at Old Wilsonians this Saturday. Broadly
these are aimed at 3s / 4s / 5s in one game and 6s /
7s / 8s in the other. Those selected to play
should not put too much store in which team they are
selected. This is an opportunity for the
skippers to have a scan over new and not so new
talent.
