No 16 RFC WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

They state that our “bubble has burst” on the Nomad site and that its all over at the Caburn. They blag on that we’ve lost 5 out of our last 7?? I might get a bit carried away (sometimes deliberately) and go on about winning the County one title. In reality, the truth is that in this season of political turmoil (which it seems we are close to resolving, I am told) we’d take survival in County one as favourable and secondly the last time I looked, we were still top. Don’t be deceived about people. There’s a lot of history at Ringmer football Club and there’s loads of vultures just waiting to rip the heart out of our club at the first opportunity. This is not just about this season you know and not just about our pitch. Do me a favour all the people who read this. Boycott that Nomad site. You’ve made a lot of friends along the way in your travels as a club but I’m finding that you’ve made enemies too. But don’t be too concerned as the majority will run and hide after we’ve survived this season.
The next game is a tough test away at Lingfield. This newly promoted side will have all guns blazing as we go there, as we did at Wick, with a tough test before us. This game is on Tuesday night at their ground 7.45 ko. I’ve been there once before with the reserves last term and we turned it on that night to get promotion and we need a similar performance to stay top of the County league.
Chris Greatwich left us on Saturday morning to join Simon in the Philippine International competition and we wish them both every success and a safe trip. We await the return of our two international players next month. Meanwhile we have made two seven-day approaches to two different county one sides for players. We never make a seven-day approach unless the player approaches us and this has happened twice this week. We already had a seven day approach lined up for Luke Huggett the Worthing Utd striker but couldn’t follow it through as a suspension was in force.
On Saturday the reserves play Montpelier Villa in the Vernon Wentworth Cup. There’s a few restrictions on selection in this cup so we’ve gotta get it right. It’s a 3pm ko at home and Montpelier Villa play their football in the Brighton Premier League.
At the same time the front side play away at Three Bridges, 3pm ko. This is followed by Steve Olivers’ birthday party and I hear there’s about a thousand people tipping up. Happy birthday on Monday coach. 50 I hear, is that right?
On Thursday night our 18s play at away at Crowborough and on Sunday away to Uckfield. I am currently looking for someone to take on our 18s for the rest of the season - give me a call if you wanna become involved. Bob M
