Report:
A great start to the season, admittedly against a slightly weak Folkestone (unless we really are that great!). 2s league debuts for Brendan, Nkoni, Martin and Paddy. With Jamie in goal and Nkoni in defence, they never really threatened, despite a number of short corners, which Nkoni either sprinted out at warp-speed to break them down, or Jamie performed acrobatics to stop any shot.

In midfield, Matt and Brendan let the older players have a breather by running at the opposition with the ball at pace and constantly causing problems. Our short corners are starting to look excellent, with shots and goals resulting, an unusual occurrence in recent seasons. My only criticism would be that against tougher sides, a lack of fitness from some of the older players will show, so get running midweek please lads!
