I hear through David Ruffles that depending on other results it looks like the Philippine national side may be out of their competition so I would assume that the Greatwich brothers may soon be back with us. We’ve not been able to pick up too much info on Simon but Chris scored for his side the other day. It sounds like they are having a good time.
And our reserves had a good time on Saturday too. This squad have been unfortunate not to have picked up wins in their league programme this term and with Neil Thorneycroft away it was left to Kev Wood and Geoff McTiffin to take the team through the day. First, thanks to Geoff who came forward to help manage/coach/support the squad. Then a special word of thanks to Louis Brown who stepped in to be the keeper for the day after no less than 3 club keepers said they couldn’t play. And from this they won 1-4 to take 3 points and lift off the foot of the Premier Reserve league. Next week our rezzies play Crawley Down Reserves away and this one is another six pointer with Crawley Down sitting one place above.
I want some help with some things. I’m looking for people to go to the ground during the week (anytime) and clear the dugouts out of bottles tape etc. Then take a look in the stand and if there’s fish and chip boxes, cans of beer or bottles can you just pick them up and put them into the bins I have put there. This is one of those jobs that you can do - people often ask if they can do anything and this would help a lot. I’ll come around and clear the bins if someone just does the first bit. Thanks. I’ll leave it to you then.
For the first time in weeks, we have no game on Tuesday night so the first team squad will train at the club, 7pm till 9pm – this is for first team squad players only. No training at Falmer on Tuesday night. On Thursday night we are having an “in-house” game for 18s players not playing and reserve players too. All management and coaches will be there and you’re expected to come if selected.
As I said earlier, the reserves play away at Crawley Down next Saturday and our front side take on Pagham. We beat Pagham in some cup or the other earlier in the season 4-0 I think it was. To be fair I thought the ref had an absolute mare in this game and 4 goals probably flattered us but nevertheless I thought we were worthy winners overall, although I know that Gary Block’s fellas will think otherwise. We look forward to Gary, his team and vocal supporters coming back to the Caburn and a great game of football. 3pm ko on this one.
Our first team returned back to the top of the Sussex County League on Saturday dispatching Oakwood 4-1. I thought it was a fair result as Oakwood struggled to stay with the pace of the game. On the Tuesday prior to this we took on the might of Horsham Town in the Sussex Senior Cup and unfortunately we lost the game 1-2. Our performance on that night was nothing short of superb and we saw our squad play with exuberance and vitality normally associated with sides that play full-time and for serious money.
We don’t do or have either but we play like we do sometimes. See you during the week.
