Weekend Round-up: 24/25 October

The First XI were beaten 8-2 at home to AFC Bethwin in a league game, Guillermo Martin and Tommy Gilham on the scoresheet.

The Reserves and the Saturday Vets had no fixture.

The Saturday Vets Reserves consolidated their mid table position with a 3-1 win against Longlands Athletic Vets at Farrow Fields. Billy Clarke got a double with Jimmy Layng also on target.

It was another tough Sunday for the Guild.

The Sunday XI exited the Paul Picard Cup, James Brand's goal not enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat at home to London Warriors.

The Sunday WESFA XI were well beaten, 5-0 away to New Park MIB in the league.

The Red Vets led 2-0 away to Wickham Park Vets through a strike by Steve Shippey and Robson Ribeiro's first goal for the club, but were pegged back and overhauled, 5-2 the final score.

The Yellow Vets provided the one shining light, a 6-2 home win against Warlingham Vets avenging last week's 4-2 away defeat. Joel Bernard opened his account for the season with a hat-trick, with the other goals provided by regular scorers Asa Wilson, Kypros Michael and Jack Loizou.

The only junior side to have a game were the Under 12s Stallions. They played their first match in division nine of the Tandridge League U12s, losing 7-2 away to Tulse Hill Yellows. Isaac Allchorne and Harry Kidd found the net.

£7,500+ raised for Evelina!!!

First XI manager Dan Debenham, assistant PJ Southall and player Gary Wallcraft were part of a team that has raised over £7,500 for Evelina London Children's Charity, walking 50km (35 miles) on Saturday 10 October. Evelina are raising money to equip their new children's cancer centre. They are really grateful for the support they have received, considering the original target was only £1,000, and you can help push this still further by going to their JustGiving page which has the whole story.
