Tuesday 18th August - Our latest League match ended in a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Imber Court against Met Police, with all three goals coming in the second half. All the stats are available and in the usual places. Monday 17th August - Details are still sketchy, but I have been advised that we have recently lost Geoff Porter, who played for us in the early to mid-1950s and was our goal keeper in the 1954 Surrey Senior Cup Final at Crystal Palace against Corinthian-Casuals. He made his debut on 5th December 1953 at the age of 21 against Erith & Belvedere and played for us 58 times before becoming a police officer. Geoff was 93 years of age and on a personal note, he was also extremely helpful to me when the club history book was written in 2007. To my knowledge, we have just one other nonegenarian out there now in Tommy Millard who was 94 in February of this year. Unless you know better of course, in which case, please let me know. Rest in Peace Geoff! Sunday 16th August - For those who are interested, there is a full summary showing every Combined Counties League team's results in the FA Cup and FA Vase, updated to include Saturday's results. Just click on the summary button lower down this page in the Cup section. Saturday 15th August - We defeated Horsham YM at Gorings Mead by five goals to one with Blessing Hombessa scoring a late hat trick to register his first goals for our club. Whilst you can only beat the opponents in front of you, it is important to point out that this was an opponent that lost their Manager and squad just five days prior to the tie and who included eleven under 18s in their 16 man squad, so the fact we were only level at 1-1 at half time should be a concern. We now host Bearsted on 12th September who produced an impressive 4-1 win over Redhill, not to mention a 2-1 away win at Step Four Ashford Town (Mx) in the FA Cup seven days previously. Bearsted knocked us out of the Vase on penalties three seasons ago in a match where we were fortuitous indeed to get a late equaliser in the first place. This also means that our League match against Knaphill will be moved back with a new date to be advised shortly. Friday 14th August - It is interesting to note Max Johnson's comments in a recent match programme referring to our run of behind closed doors friendlies, advising that they try out different players and formations in the friendlies. Like no other club does this in pre-season! Leaving aside this rubbish, it is worth pointing out that this is not the excuse provided by the club back in July, who blamed limited parking issues. Both farcical excuses, but regrettably par for the course as our supporters continue to be treated like fools. Tuesday 11th August - A 76th minute goal was sufficient for Sutton Common Rovers to defeat us by a goal to nil at Chalky Lane on Tuesday evening. This means that we have now failed to score in seven consecutive meetings against Sutton Common Rovers, which is probably a club record! Sunday 9th August - The Surrey Senior Cup has been drawn and we have been given a home match against Sutton United, although it will probably be like their previous visit where we will face a virtual Reserve eleven instead. The full draw (with corrected link) is available lower down in the cup section as well as a full updated summary of the FA Cup results for all clubs in the Combined Counties League. Tuesday 4th August - Our club has moved the Bank Holiday Monday fixture kick off time at home to Tooting & Mitcham United from 11.30am to 3pm. This is a really dense decision as the match was one of just a handful in the morning, yet now will clash with a hundred other fixtures, not least the local derbies between Leatherhead & Dulwich Hamlet and Kingstonian v Raynes Park Vale, which will claim almost all of the floating supporters in our area. Whilst our club will almost certainly inflate the crowd number to make it look like it was some sort of inspired decision, there will be close to 1,500 supporters in attendance at just those two matches, and a number of those would have wanted to take in another match in the morning, but now cannot attend, costing us hundreds of pounds in lost revenue.
