Weekend Round-up: 12/13 October

Not the best weekend in terms of results. We move on!

The First XI had no match scheduled. The Second XI did until West Farleigh Reserves reported that they could not fulfil the planned Sevenoaks Cup Junior Section first round fixture at Farrow Fields. 

The Saturday Vets did play but they wished they hadn't as they went down to a 3-0 home league defeat against Sporting Club Thamesmead Vets.  

The Sunday XI also tasted defeat in a league fixture, losing 3-2 away to The Manor. Mason Horne found the net and Danny Cumber opened his season's account from the penalty spot.

For the second successive week the Sunday Second XI suffered a 2-0 loss. This time it was at home to Red Velvet in the Peter Smith Memorial Cup.

The Red Vets opened their Queen Elizabeth II Cup campaign with a 3-2 home win against Greenwich Challenge Vets. Kieran Hartnett, Steve Shippey and Dan Hillary were on target.

The Yellow Vets arranged a last-minute fixture away to the very strong Bird in Hand Vets and lost 6-2 for their trouble. Jordan Brown and George Kleanthous scored for FOBG.

The Under 14s were beaten by the only goal of the game at home to Fleetdown United in a league match but there was brighter news for the Under 12 Mustangs as they continued their excellent form with a 3-1 home win against Hamsey Rangers Raptors, the Guild's goals supplied by Oliver Pearce, Daniel Gasson and William Hughes. 

The Under 9 Stallions and Under 8 Foals teams also enjoyed matches in their ladders.

Weekend Round-up: 5/6 October

The First XI took a break from league action but that didn't disturb their momentum as they won 5-2 away to Greenwich All Stars in the Kent Cup with doubles from Elliot Anderson and Chris McGinty and a Jack Randall strike. The home side recorded the match with Veo. You can see the game HERE.

The Second XI were also in County Cup action away from home but came up against a very strong side in The Charcoal and were beaten 4-1, Andy Parsons getting the consolation. Nothing particulalry notable about the game until you examine the team sheet, where there was no Allen for the first time in over four years!

The Saturday Vets and the Sunday XI had no game scheduled.

The Sunday Second XI went down 2-0 away to Our Lady Youth who went to the top of the table as a result.

The Red Vets won 3-0 away to Lads of the Village Vets, Louie Raven grabbing a brace with Adam Chapman scoring for the fifth successive match.

The Yellow Vets lost 5-4 at home to Warlingham Vets, a team formed as the result of the merging of Baltic and Glendale Vets. The scorers for FOBG were Jack Loizou (2), Asa Wilson and player/manager George Kleanthous.

The Under 14s began their Kent Cup campaign with a 3-1 home win against Long Lane. Harry Lauder, Chaz Favata and Gabriel Lloyd-Jones were on target.

The Under 12 Mustangs won 9-0 at home to Addiscombe All Stars Rockets. There were hat-tricks for Lenny Chapple and Stas Kyrychenko, goals from Daniel Gasson and Ben Topaz and an own goal.

The Under 9 Stallions and Under 8 Foals teams also enjoyed matches in their ladders.
