5th October 2015 Welcome to the latest Club update. Who'd have thought it. Top of the League! Yes, a couple of clubs have games in hand, while we haven't met any of the other contenders yet, but you can only beat who is put in front of you, and that is what we have been doing! A fine example of this was on Saturday when we travelled to the lowest placed club in the League, Cove. In the past, matches like this and the recent trip to Spelthorne Sports would have been massive banana skins as we might throw in a ropey performance and on many occasions would drop points. Not this year! In both cases we got off to a flying start to make the job ahead of us an easier one. Against Cove we were in fact two goals to the good with just five minutes and two seconds on the watch through Rob Hendry and Kyle Hough and kept going, finishing off winners by seven clear goals! Some quick stats now. This was the first time we had scored seven times away from home in a League match since our club record 9-0 win at Whyteleafe back in the halcyon F.A. Vase season, Surrey Senior League days of 1975, during which time we have had some very good sides, but none of them have done this! It was only the second time we had scored seven goals this century, following our 7-2 League Cup win at AFC Croydon Athletic on 9th October 2013 and it was only the sixth time we've reached that mark in the last 35 years so it was fairly special! Just for the record, our last seven at home was against East Thurrock United whom we defeated 7-2 in the Ryman League on 28th March 1998. We now have a ten day break before travelling to Merland Rise for the first time since December 2011 for a League Cup tie and we then return to League action when we host Chertsey Town on Saturday 17th October. By then we surely will no longer be at the top of the table, but we are contenders right now and this is all that matters at this stage of the season. We also remain unbeaten after ten matches which we haven't done very often before, and are closing in on our club record of 12, set in 2008/09. To exceed that we will have to negotiate Chertsey, Ashford Town and Bedfont Sports but to use the old cliché, let's take it a game at a time for now! In view of the lack of games coming up there will be no editorial next week. Come on you Salts!
