Our league season commenced with a 3-1 home win, but only after a close first half. Left winger, Toponopolous got us off to a flying start, but our visitors fought back to equalise early in the second period. Two Stefan Krstevski goals around the hour mark secured us this opening league win. We gave debuts to new young goalkeeper, Jack Smith and New Zealand striker, Darcy Harald.
TEAM: Jack Smith 7, Agustin Barreto 7, Dermot Doherty 7, Keith Pickering 8, Ed Greenfield 7, Dimitris Toponopolous 8, Adrian Bull 7, Trevor Bull 6, Aloisius N'tongi 8 (mom), Darcy Harald 7, Stefan Krstevski 8.
League Position: 2.
I'm debating whether or not going to continue with this thread, because I made an error when posting the previous comment, and the site won't let me delete it.

Our first match today, involved a trip to Denmark for a Champions League tie, against, what on paper, seems to be our hardest group fixture. We are the lowest ranked side in our group, against the strongest. We duly succumbed and a late Aloisius Ntongi goal was little consolation. The result leaves us bottom of the group.

Our league season got off to a comfortable start, with this 3-1 home win. Stefan Krstevski was our goalscoring hero, with a second half brace. New Zealander, Darcy Harald made his league debut and we can be happy with his contribution. Our young reserve goalkeeper, Jack Smith also made his first team bow. Although early in the campaign, we happily sit second in the table.

It was a triumphant day for the Bull brothers, as they shared three of our four goals.

Our cup campaign got off to a stuttering start, with an away defeat against a team two levels below us. We went into the break 0-2 behind, and despite a goal from Aloisius Ntongi, just before the hour, we could not find an equaliser. So its into tomorrow's return leg, with some work to do.

Day 1 was a busy day for us in the transfer market with 4 players leaving, and another four joining. We say welcome to striker Charlie Plonker, midfielder Gavin Burns, and defenders Jake Chingford & Miroslav Radinec.
SEASON 47. Match Day 2.

Day two of the season, and we are already out of the cup after only managing a 1-1 draw against our lower league rivals, and a 2-3 loss on aggregate. It started well enough, when Damian Harris levelled the tie after twelve minutes, but we couldn't add any more, and our visitors equalised on the night, a couple of minutes after the restart.
TEAM: Jack Smith 6, Hector Dorito 6, Dermot Doherty 6, Keith Pickering 6, Damian Harris 7, Adrian Bull 6, Scott Teague 6, Aloisius Ntongi 6, Darcy Harald 7, Charlie Plonker 6.
Nice team sir, keep going!
