Weekend Round-up: 25/26 October

The First XI gave a defiant performance in front of a large crowd away to Peckham Town.in the league, in manager Luke Johnson's final match in charge. The game was goalless until ten minutes from time but the home side then got in front and put a polish on the scoreline to make it 3-0 at the final whistle.

Neither Saturday vets team had a match scheduled, so the Reserves, with the help of a few players from our other team, took on a CYMCA Vets side featuring ex-Guild players Phil Anthony and Chris Webb at Farrow Fields. The game finished 3-2 in favour of Farnborough. Lee Friend scored two and Matt Ellis one.

The Sunday XI completed a perfect October with a 5-1 victory away to Hatcham in the Paul Picard Cup quarter finals. After Mason Horne last week, it was Dave Bentley's turn to get a hat-trick. Mason scored for the fourth consecutive match with Sam Bakare also on target.

The Sunday WESFA XI survived a big scare at home to Division 5 outfit Southside Trojans in the first round of the Plumstead Challenge Cup. Finding themselves 3-0 down, they rallied to take the match 4-3 thanks to a double from Charlie Killick, Billy Wilson's first goal for the club and an own goal.

The Red Vets drew 4-4 at home to Inter Vyagra Vets. Steve Shippey grabbed a brace with the other scoring contributions coming from Eiji Watanabe and an own goal.

The Yellow Vets won 7-1 away to Sanatogen Vets. The scorers were Billy Morgan (2), Paulino Kolwaski (2), Jack Loizou, Kypros Michael and Faisal Hakimi.

The Under 15s Boys hosted Kings Hill in the Under 15s League Cup. Despite Chaz Favata's two goals the visitors emerged victorious by three goals to two.

None of our three Tandridge League sides had a fixture.

Luke Johnson leaves the club

The club has accepted the unexpected resignation of Saturday First XI manager Luke Johnson. We would like to place on record our sincere thanks for his hard work and dedication, which in his most recent spell at the club saw the team win a league title and so gain promotion to KCL Division One West, as well as reaching a cup final. Best wishes to him in his future endeavours.

Luke's final match was be at Peckham Town on Saturday. His successor will be appointed as soon as possible.
