Weekend Round-up 16/17 November

Two especially good wins this weekend. According to manager Luke Johnson the First XI had their best performance of the season but there can only be one place to start.

With thirty minutes to go in their league encounter away to Groundhoppers the Sunday XI were well on course for a sixth defeat in seven games, 4-0 down having failed to convert a penalty kick. Recent performances have deserved better results and it looked like this match was going the same way but the players kept going and incredibly came back to win 6-4! FOBG were awarded two more spot kicks, only one of which was scored amidst a goal glut from Danny Cumber (2), Dave Bentley (2), Mason Horne and Randall Brunyee.

The First XI made the trip to Dartford's 3G Princes Park complex to take on Halls AFC Reserves and stormed to a 3-0 half-time lead which barely reflected their dominance. They went on to win 4-1 against one of the top sides in the division, inspired by a hat-trick from Jack Randall. Stanley Mills also found the net for his third of the campaign.

The Second XI won 3-2 at home to London Legends in the league, with a double from George Osman and a Jack Eddleston strike.

The Saturday Vets went out of the league's Junior Cup at the earliest stage with a 2-1 away defeat against London South United Vets Mavericks who avenged their 8-0 loss last week. Alex Barnes was on the scoresheet with his first goal of the season.

Back to Sunday's action and the Sunday Second XI suffered a 5-1 loss away to Premier Division Jam in the group stage of the Peter Smith Memorial Cup, sealing their fate in the competition. George Osman scored his third goal of a good weekend for him personally.

Neither side could field an eleven in the Red Vets' match away to Chelsham Vets so the game was cancelled beforehand.

The Yellow Vets enjoyed a 6-0 home win against Sanatogen Vets, the goals shared between Dulal Ali (2), Faisal Hakimi, Jack Loizou, Ben McWilliams and Kieran Hartnett.

The Under 14s Boys won 3-2 away to Cray Valley PM helped by a brace from Chaz Favata and Ollie Gain's first goal of the season. This result consolidates their position in mid-table, having played leaders Maidstone United twice.

The Under 12s Mustangs beat FC Elmstead Bantams 3-0 at Farrow Fields in the league. Danny Embleton, Stas Kyrychenko and Daniel Gasson were on target. Look out for club photographer Colin Brazier's photos from this game, as well as the Under 9s Stallions' meeting with AFC Shortlands Hurricanes.

The Under 8s Foals were in action away to Glebe Youth Tigers.
