Weekend Round-up: 12/13 September

The First XI had a free week. They resume their league campaign with a home fixture against Falconwood Reserves this Saturday 19 September.

The Reserves had a comfortable away league win against Paddock Wood Reserves. Their scorers in the 7-0 rout were Harry Harding (three), Will Drummond (two), Sam Spicer and Teddy Tolland.

The Saturday Vets had no game scheduled, while the Saturday Vets Reserves exited the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at the first hurdle, going down 4-2 at home to Orpington Town Vets. Jody Baxter and Liam Burchett were on target.

The Sunday XI went down 4-1 at home to Spartans in the league, Mason Horne their scorer.

The Sunday WESFA XI finally got their season underway with a 5-0 away win against AFC Greenwich Borough Deaf (WESFA) in the Dewar Shield. George Osman scored twice with Joe Head, Jack Eddleston and Conor Fielding contributing a goal each.

Both our Sunday Vets teams lost their friendly matches. The Red Vets found themselves on the wrong end of a 5-3 scoreline away to Inter Vyagra Vets, Steve Shippey grabbing a brace to open his account for the season and Ray Hillier getting his first goal for the club.

The Yellow Vets fell 3-2 at home to Lads of the Village Vets, Jordan Brown and Kypros Michael on the scoresheet.

The Under 14s Mustangs began their league season with a 4-0 loss at home to a very strong Southwark Allstars outfit.

The Under 12s Stallions had no fixture, while the Under 10s Foals opened their season away to Westerham Wolves in the Tandridge League Under 10s ladder, FA guidelines preventing us from reporting the result or any scorers.

Finally, a special mention to our new Under 7s Broncos team coached by Aaron McWilliams and Charles High, who thoroughly enjoyed their first ever taste of organised football, playing in the FA's new 3x3 format against 6occer.
