New season begins

The First XI start their NRG 24HR Kent County League Division 1 West campaign at home to AMG Ballerz at Farrow Fields on Wednesday 20 August, kick off 6.30pm.

Thanks George!

George Kleanthous has reluctantly made the decision to stand down as our Yellow Vets player/manager. Due to family reasons he would have had to be absent for a large portion of the season and would not trust himself not to play against doctors' advice when the team was short!

George served his FOBG apprenticeship by playing for the Fourth XI as a centre back under Des Fallon in the nineties. After a few years' hiatus he returned as a striker for the Senior Vets in 2008 and went on to make over 400 appearances in total, scoring 151 goals.

He became the player/manager of the Senior/Yellow Vets in 2021. Jay Hardy has agreed to succeed him in the role.

We would like to thank George for his service to the club and wish him all the best in the future.
