Weekend Round-up: 7/8 November

The First XI were dumped out of the Kent Junior Cup, losing 10-1 at home to Northumberland Heath. Gary Smith got his third goal in four games.

The Reserves beat Gravesham Borough Youth 4-2 in their own Kent Cup fixture at Farrow Fields. Ebenezer Adjei (2) and Nathan Kurwijila got their first goals for the club, with Teddy Tolland also on the scoresheet.

The Saturday Vets had no game with Sporting Club Thamesmead Vets ceding their Kent Veterans Cup match.

The Saturday Vets Reserves won 4-1 away to Petts Wood & Holmesdale Vets in the Chris Tapping Memorial Cup. Three of the goals came from James Layng, Liam Burchett and an own goal, while Alex Barnes registered to maintain his record of scoring every season since 2010-11 (and probably earlier, as our database only goes back that far!). We'll let him off the 2022-23 season as he was out for its entirety with a knee injury.

The Sunday XI lost 6-2 to the ever-strong FC Bickley at Farrow Fields in the league, having been level 1-1 at half-time. Ross Warburton and Mason Horne were on target.

The Sunday WESFA XI put in a much-improved performance in drawing 3-3 away to Hartford Athletic in the league. Louis Clark-Wright got a brace with Charlie Killick getting the other.

The Red Vets went down 3-1 away to Inter Vyagra Vets, Kyle Burt opening his account for the season, while the Yellow Vets had a week off.

The Under 14s Mustangs suffered the agony of a defeat on penalties, having drawn 2-2 at home to Forestdale in the Tandridge Shield. Tom Cornish and Oliver Pearce found the net.

The Under 12s Stallions got off the mark in spectacular style, seeing off previously unbeaten Future Footballers 5-1 at home to claim their first ever league points. The goals were shared between Ben Morton, Freddie Mason-Powell, Billy Travers, Jasper Allen and Keside Obike.

Sam Champ scored for the Under 10s Foals in a 1-1 draw before they went on to beat Old Wilsonians Southwark on penalties away from home. We can report this because it was a competitive match in the Autumn Trophy Two.

The Under 8s Broncos again came off the pitch all smiles after their game at Park House Panthers. This should not be taken to imply the result.
