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' team gave the club its first vets silverware.

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.

Well done Paul!

Congratulations to FOBG hon. fixtures secretary Paul Parsons on winning the Sevenoaks and District Football League Referee of the Season award. Paul was presented the trophy after being the man in the middle for the Craske and Wells Memorial Trophy Final between Kemsing United and Hawkenbury at Rusthall FC on Tuesday evening.
