Weekend Round-up: 10/11 January.

Storm Goretti could not stop Saturday's Farrow Fields football; many thanks to club groundsman Steve Viner.

The First XI had an important home league clash against Stansfeld O&B Club Reserves, with Dan Scully's side hoping to carry on the momentum gained before the Christmas break. Goals from Ellis Rouillon and Alfie Gilham looked to be doing just that with ten minutes left, but a Stansfeld comeback made the scores level at 2-2 going into added time. A good moment, then, for Archie Emin to step in and get his first goal for the club (as Alfie had done). Cue wild celebrations on the pitch and touchlines! Dan shared his man of the match award between Archie and Manny Mulamba.

It was a Saturday clean sweep with both Vets sides winning big league games. The first team maintained their unbeaten league season with a 3-2 win at West Wickham Vets. Leading scorer Danny Oakins bagged a brace with Lee Friend also on target. The Vets Reserves emulated their counterparts in leading their division with a 4-0 home win against SP Athletic Vets 2nds who had won all but one of their seven league games. Liam Burchett hit a hat-trick with Jimmy Layng again on the scoresheet.

There wasn't much chance for any groundsman countering the frost in Farnborough on Sunday morning; the only three games that went ahead were all away from home. 

The Sunday WESFA XI began 2026 as they ended 2025, extending their run to one defeat in nine with a 3-0 league triumph at South Ballers. George Osman hit a double with Charlie Killick converting a penalty.

The Under 15s Boys kept their amazing London FA Under 15s Boys Sunday Cup run going with a convincing 4-0 victory at Balham. The goals were shared between Chaz Favata, Mason Terry, Harry Field and Gabriel Lloyd-Jones. At the time of writing the quarter-finals draw is yet to be made.

The Under 13s Mustangs had a day to forget, goals from Daniel Gasson and Danny Embleton small positives in an 8-2 defeat away to Nexgen in the League Shield.
