Dumped Out

We could probably copy and paste the match report from this weekend last season when we were unceremoniously thrashed by the eventual County Cup winners, AFC Hammersmith. It wouldn't be a surprise if Lightwater follow in their footsteps.

Against a good side like this you need to be as close to full strength as possible, but unfortunately we had 4 late dropouts that left the squad thin. Then Charlie Elliott also dropped out with an injury, despite his best efforts in the warm up.

20 minutes in, and already 2-0 down, Alex Zammit was on the receiving end of a reckless challenge that saw him have to go off as one injured player in Gilo replaced another.

We have had an excellent run with a consistent squad and have basically had things our own way. That ended this morning with a chastening defeat as Lightwater ran out comfortable and deserved winners.

All in all this was a disappointing morning and not the way we wanted to start the year. What's important is we did get a game under our belts after the Xmas break.

We may be out of the County Cup, but we have 3 Border League competitions to play for so our focus now changes.

Thanks to all the players who turned up and put in a shift for the club on a difficult morning.
