R.I.P. Tania

The club are saddened to hear the news of Tania Todd’s passing this week. Tania was a big part of helping us grow the relationship between the club itself and the members of Farnborough Village. As most know Tania worked tirelessly to help make the Farnborough Village community what it is today along with other volunteers. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and villagers who knew her.

Sunday teams beware - British Summer Time

British Summer Time starts this weekend so the clocks move FORWARD one hour this Sunday morning. Don't be late for your game!

Sunday XI through to President's Charity Cup final!

The Sunday XI eased through to the final of the President's Charity Cup with a 6-0 thrashing of FC Elmstead at Coombe Wood School.

First half strikes from Danny Cumber and Mason Horne put Vince Wray's side firmly in control, which they never looked like relinquishing. Late doubles from Paul Lee and Dave Bentley punished a demoralised Elmstead side.

The final against Kenningwell United is set for Beckenham Town FC on Sunday 4 May (kickoff 3pm). 

Congratulations to Vince and his players.  We have never won the OBDSFL's flagship knockout competition - could this be the year??
