Weekend Round-up: 17/18 January

The First XI's recent revival suffered a setback on the 3G of Parkwood Rangers' Bexley Park pitch as they were beaten 3-0 in the league. In the next two weeks they have big back to back games against Bromleians who showed their capabilities with their excellent win at table toppers Equinoccial on Saturday.

It was a blank Saturday for the vets as both teams had matches in Warlingham rained off.

The Sunday XI had a resounding 5-0 win at Sydenham Sports in the league. Dan Purdie hit two goals with the other three shared between Paul Lee, Mason Horne and Dave Bentley. 

The Sunday WESFA XI also won away in the league, beating AFC Bexley 5-1. Charlie Killick got two with Jack Eddleston, Alex Lengthorn and Metin Mustafa (his first for the club) on target.

The Red Vets played their first game for two months at home to the strong Bird in Hand Vets. The visitors won 6-3, Farnborough's goals coming from Dave Frawley (his first for the club), Harry Mahoney and Steve Shippey.

The Yellow Vets made the familiar journey to Eynsford to take on Riverside Wanderers and got their first draw of the season in a 4-4 thriller. Asa Wilson (2), Faisal Hakimi and Jack Loizou found the net.

The Under 15s Boys suffered the agony of conceding a last minute penalty winner in their league visit to title chasing Lewisham Borough. Mason Terry was on the scoresheet for FOBG in the 2-1 defeat.

The Under 13s Mustangs had their home league game against Langley Sports Hawks postponed due to soggy areas on the Farrow Fields surface but both the Under 10s Stallions and Under 9s Foals managed to play their ladder games on small pitches.
