Old Owens are a very good footballing side although the club is struggling at the moment with their Reserves dropping out of Intermediate Division One -- this adversely affects our Reserves goal difference as their playing records are being expunged. The Manager welcomes back Ruan da Silva, Jamie James and Charlie McGeary but Doyle, Hawkins, the Simmonds brothers and Oli Clark are still on the injured list.

The Reserves play their Kent Intermediate Cup Quarter Final game against Pyramid club FC Elmstead (1958). This is virtually a home game for us as Coney Hall Rec is only 1 mile from the club and half a mile from my house. The pitches have been kept to a high standard via the work of the Elmstead management which is good to see and their showers are probably better than ours. This game kicks off at 1.30pm and Andy Foster will be without Connor Byrne, Mark Williams and Neil Currie but Karl Goppy and Nick Gibbs come into the squad. There will be no extra time in the event of a draw -- its straight to penalties and no"rolling subs". Try to come along to the Rec and support the unbeaten Reserves.

The Elmstead team and management are all welcome back at the clubhouse in Corkscrew Hill for a beer -- several big TV games are being shown on the four screens and the ale is cheap. So come along boys and meet Dave Price the ex Arsenal and Palace midfield dynamo and all three of West Wickham's English Amateur International players -- unfortunately Currie is out injured but the other two will be playing for the First team against Old Owens.

Josh Morris takes a strong looking Fives squad to Old Finchleians -- a ground where we invented the £100 Round when we won the Junior Novets Cup there. This is also an AFA Cup game and I am sure the boys will have a big beer after the game win or lose.

The Fours and Sixes are both at home against HSBC and Old Salesians Reserves in SAL League games -- both kick off at 1.30pm and Oli Green's Fours are still unbeaten and are in the running for a trio of medals.
