50km walk for Evelina - this Saturday!!!

First XI manager Dan Debenham, assistant PJ Southall and player Gary Wallcraft are raising money for Evelina London Children's Charity as part of a team walking 50km (35 miles) on Saturday. Evelina are raising money to equip their new children's cancer centre.

You can support this very worthy cause at their JustGiving page which has the whole story.

Weekend Round-up: 3/4 October

The First XI's recent improvement in performances if not results was rewarded with a 2-1 home win against FC Lusitanos in the Kent Junior Cup on Saturday. A strike from Ronnie Scoble and a penalty from Tommy Gilham sent us into the next round (the draw is yet to be made).

Just a week after losing away to Dartford Royals in the Fisher Shield, the Reserves returned to the same venue for league action - this time walking away with a 2-0 win courtesy of a Harry Harding double and keeping their 100% league record.

The Saturday Vets returned to winning ways, beating Bexley Vets 4-3 in an away league match. The goals were shared equally between Lawrence Thompson, Brady Powell, Dave Rose and Jack Cowell.

The Saturday Vets Reserves fared less well in their league game, Lee Friend getting the consolation goal in a 4-1 defeat away to Westerham Vets.

Our Sunday struggles continue. The Sunday XI were beaten 6-0 away to Palace Saint Germain while the Sunday WESFA XI fell 2-1 at home to Springhill United, Alex Lengthorn on the scoresheet.  Both were league games.

The Red Vets did not play, while the Yellow Vets beat Sanco Vets 4-1 at Farrow Fields with Billy Morgan grabbing a brace with Asa Wilson and Kypros Michael both on the mark.

The Under 14s Mustangs lost 2-0 away to Kennington Juniors in the Kent Cup.

The Under 12s Stallions were well beaten (7-0) in a Fusion match away to Beckenham United. They are looking forward to the end of the Fusion phase before playing league games against better matched opposition!

The Under 10s Foals played a fixture against the Polish ex-pats Wisla Krakow, while the Under 8s Broncos thoroughly enjoyed their first ever 5-a-side runout, against Beckenham United Raptors.
