Weekend Round-up: 19/20 September

The First XI's troubled start to the season continued with a 6-0 humbling at Farrow Fields against Falconwood Reserves in the league.

The Reserves had a bye through to the second round of the Smith's Junior League Cup when Tatsfield Rovers Reserves were unable to fulfil their fixture.

The Saturday Vets, already tipped as potential champions, had a 10-0 romp against Ex Blues Vets in Park Langley. 

The Saturday Vets Reserves began their league campaign with a 2-2 draw at home to AFC Green Court Vets. Jimmy Layng and Louis Hussey opened their accounts for the season.

The Sunday XI did not play, while a depleted Sunday WESFA XI were well beaten, 6-1, at home to Hartford Athletic in a league game. Joe Head got the consolation goal.

Both our Sunday Vets teams notched their first victories of the season. The Red Vets beat CUACO 4-1 at home, Adam Chapman registering a hat-trick and Aaron McWilliams maintaining his hot spell with the other goal.

The Yellow Vets won 4-2 at Wickham Park Vets. Asa Wilson (2), Kypros Michael and Jack Loizou got the goals.

The Under 14s Mustangs had a frustrating day, losing 3-1 at Coulsdon Athletic Cobras in the league, Lenny Chapple on target. They will have a swift chance for revenge when the sides meet at the same venue in the cup on Sunday.

The Under 12s Stallions lost 6-1 at home to Colliers Wood, Billy Travers finding the net. They are playing a few matches against random opponents to enable the league to grade the formal divisions more accurately.

The Under 10s Foals played a fixture against Elite Junior, while the Under 7s Broncos had a free week. They will be looking to switch back to 5 v. 5 in an under 8s set-up in future.
