Amazing Jon!

Congratulations to Under 13s Mustangs joint manager Jon Gasson on completing the London Marathon in very uncomfortable conditions in four hours and eleven minutes. To date Jon has raised c. £6,800 plus c. £1,600 in Gift Aid for Diabetes UK. smashing his target of £6,000 and heading towards a staggering (no pun intended!) £10,000.

Please read his story HERE and contribute whatever you can.

Jon reported that the race was "horrific" and swore never to enter again but he has the added satisfaction of being part of the event that saw the world record set at under two hours for the first time.

...and Iuean!

Another friend of the club, Ieuan Pughsley, ran the London Marathon on Sunday, coming in three minutes under four hours. 

Iuean is the founder and owner of Ieuan James barbers in the high street, and he has sponsored the club for several seasons now for which we are grateful.

Iuean has so far raised a brilliant £3,700 plus £680 Gift Aid for the charity Whizz Kidz, which provides opportunities and equipment for young wheelchair users. This more than doubles his target of £2,000.

Weekend Round-up: 25/26 April: A THIRD Sunday Cup Final!

Congratulations to the Yellow Vets on reaching the final of the Queen Elizabeth II Shield following a dramatic match against CUACO Vets at Farrow Fields. Jack Loizou scored as the sides were deadlocked at 1-1. Faisal Hakimi had a fantastic game in goal, and pulled off an amazing save to keep the scores level going into injury time. He then saved a penalty in the shootout which FOBG won 4-2. Watch this space for news of the final.

As co-manager George Kleanthous told us: "We went 1-0 up half way through the first half. We missed chance after chance throughout the whole game and then on about 75 minutes they had a lightning break and finished off a really good team move with a top finish. It was against the run of play but we almost paid the ultimate price for our slack finishing as for the last 15 minutes we were really under the cosh which culminated in that absolutely outstanding save from Faisal in the last minute to prevent us from getting knocked out. Fortunately, we kept our cool in the shootout and all four of our penalties were struck really well into the bottom corners.".

The Sunday XI and Sunday WESFA XI both fell to 2-1 league defeats, the former away to Spartans (scorer Mason Horne), the latter at home to Old Fortronians (Charlie Killick on target) which cost them the chance to finish as runners-up. Both, however, have May cup finals to look forward to.

The Red Vets' match was cancelled.

The Under 15s Boys continued their strong league form with a sixth win in seven, 3-2 at home to Cray Valley PM. The goals were shared between Tommy Gray, Arthur Lloyd-Jones and Michael Nwosu.

The Under 13s Mustangs had a free week but both the Under 10s Stallions and Under 9s Foals had ladder matches.

There were no scheduled fixtures on Saturday.

We are recruiting under 16s players for next season!
