Weekend round-up: 28/29 March

With the First XI not having a fixture, the Farrow Fields stage was left to the Saturday Vets who finished their league season with 15 wins, a draw and no defeats after overcoming stern resistance from Seymour Villa Vets to win 4-0. It marks the end of a fantastic season for the management team of Nick Blue and Ben Tomkins and all the players. A special mention to Danny Oakins, who notched yet another hat-trick to take his league tally to a staggering 35.  Pete Kavanagh also claimed a well taken goal to get on the scoresheet.

The Saturday Vets Reserves won 5-1 away to Warlingham Super Vets in the league. The goals were shared between Liam Burchett, Jamie Tulloch, Joe McGee, Landi Sakala and Steve Bray (his first of the season). They remain in contention for league honours with two games still to play.

The Sunday XI lost 3-1 at home to Kenningwell United in the league.

The Sunday WESFA XI let slip a 1-0 half-time lead to lose 3-1 at home to strugglers Old Fortronians. Jojo Howell was the scorer for FOBG.

The Red Vets drew 2-2 away to AFC Greenwich Vets. Dameon Brown and Kyle Burt were on target.

The Yellow Vets were knocked out of the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at the quarter-final stage away to the competition favourites Bird in Hand Vets. Despite the 1-3 scoreline FOBG were in the hunt until late in the game when two moments cost them. As George Kleanthous told us, "their quality told in the end". George went on to say "the effort the boys put in was phenomenal. It was a testament to the team that we fought to the end and actually scored our goal with the last kick of the game so we didn’t give up". The scorer of that goal was Kypros Michael.

The Under 15s Boys won their fourth consecutive match scoring at least three times with a 3-2 win away to Ebbsfleet United Reds in the league. Michael Nwosu, Tommy Gray and Arthur Lloyd-Jones (his first goal of the season) were on the scoresheet.

It was a blank week for the Tandrdige League so none of our other junior sides saw action.

Good luck Jon...
