’m trying to find a positive take on the games over the weekend and I’m struggling to be honest. The FA Vase game against Lordswood didn’t go to plan as we went behind in the first few minutes. The second goal followed the first and the Ringmer haters will be pleased to record that we lost the tie 4-0. Well, as a cup game we decided that we could either roll over at 2-0 at half time or we could really shake it up and go three at the back - then in the end play four up top. All to no avail however - they withstood our pressure and we got caught on the break in the second half and bing bang bong we’re out. Yeah, it would’ve been good to do something in this national competition but when alls said and done its now viewed that we return to our main objective, surviving in the County League.
Beating Wick 0-2 last Tuesday night took us three points closer to that goal. Wick are as good a side as we’ll meet this term and its fair to say that we were pretty good in this County one encounter. The Ringmer haters will not be happy with this result but the purists in our club - and there’s only a handful of us, believe me- will be impressed. I certainly was.
The 18s played on Sunday and we had two sent off. The ref came over and said he’d been threatened by a player and that he was considering abandoning the game. Shocking stuff? Yes undoubtedly. We embarrassed ourselves - no, the player embarrassed himself actually - and I await an explanation. The club, outside of the FA, will impose a ban on players that threaten anyone, let alone the ref and then the player gets dismissed and sit outside the refs room. Grow up or play park football, its one or the other. No more chances Ryan.
Neil Thorneycroft saw his reserve side lose against a very good Eastbourne Town side on Friday night. Lets not confuse ourselves though. This Town side had 4 first team players competing - and competing for places in the Ryman league - and we had 5 sixteen year olds playing. Neil will encourage a few older players to become involved with the reserves and I expect first team squad players to play when selected.
Football this week looks like this. The front side play on Tuesday night against Hassocks. On Saturday they play East Grinstead away whilst the reserves play at home against Pease Pottage in the Sussex Intermediate Cup. On Sunday the 18s play Bexhill away. No training on Tuesday night as it apparently last Tuesday a few of our stronger minded but stupid players thought it’d be a hoot to mess about like little kids. That wont happen again. That’s another issue we’ll be dealing with at the next training session. The whole squad is expected to train on Thursday night 7 till 9.
Lastly, just to keep you all up to speed, over the last few weeks we have signed Kiefer Ardaen-Webb the ex Withdean player and Will Broomfield from Hassocks. The ex Uckfield Town striker Jo Tubon signed last week and yesterday we signed Chris Greatwich the ex Bognor Regis midfielder. Good local talent of the highest quality . Welcome fellas.
See you all Tuesday night at the Caburn.
