Whoops!

Newsletter 37 (original version) omitted the weekend round-up.  Hence it had to be re-sent.

Apologies for any confusion!

Good luck to the Sunday XI

Good luck to the Sunday XI in the final of the Paul Picard Cup against AFC Wilgar at Bromley FC on Sunday (kick off 3pm).

Vince and the boys would love to have your support!

Sunday Round-up: 17 May

With Saturday games all done and dusted, the stage is left to the Sunday teams for the rest of the season, and this week they took full advantage.

The Yellow Vets won the Queen Elizabeth II Shield with a 6-2 win against Santos at Eltham Town FC. Dimitri Loizou waited until the last match of the season to open his account, doing so in style with a hat-trick. Asa Wilson grabbed a brace, with Joel Bernard completing the scoring. A week after we won our first ever juniors trophy, George Kleanthous and Jay Hardy's team gave the club its first vets silverware.

George told us "It was a really close game and the sides were really evenly matched. We came from behind twice from 1-0 and 2-1 down which was great to see the boys fight to get back in the game.

"After getting the score back to 2-2 which happened on about 70 minutes, we then really began to believe again and knock the ball about well. We scored our last four goals in the last ten minutes as Santos were obviously stretched trying to get an equaliser and we hit them on the break with devastating effect, the 6-2 final score didn’t really reflect how well Santos played, but overall I think we deserved the win. 

"Roll on next season…"

Talking of firsts, the Under 15s Boys won a league match at title-chasing Maidstone United for the first time in four attempts, derailing the hosts' bid for league honours. Leading scorer Tommy Gray scored twice with Chaz Favata also on target for a very proud management team of Seb Favata and Dave Gain.

Just in time for the Paul Picard Cup final next week, the Sunday XI got back to winning ways, completing their league season with a 2-1 home win against London South United Lions. Steve Townsend and Lewi Lee found the net. Vince Wray's team finish fifth in the table, winning six and losing six of their 14 league matches.
