02/01/09 WICK MATCG POSTPONED AT KICK OFF
WEEKENDS FOOTBALL NEWS
From the onlookers point of view it all looked good for the match to go ahead at the Caburn this Saturday against visitors Wick in the first game of 2010 . The snow had gone and the rains had stopped, the sun had been shinning on most of the pitch for nearly two day's with the groundsman doing all he could, the whole picture looked good as the supporters started arriving, it all looked like we were at last going to get to watch a football match at the Caburn

That was until the Ref decided at 3:00 to call it off, why then and not when he arrived an 1hr 1/4 earlier only he knows, the weather conditions were not going to change the pitch in an hour! Instead we all stood round waiting for a decision either way. We all now no the outcome which many feel was the wrong decision, it seemed everybody, managers, players etc were willing to play it but it was not to be.

The Reserve how ever had a better day at the office, desperate for players after a few had drop out, the lads took to the pitch with four youth team players stepping up to fill the gaps, Kieran Patel being the only 1st team player to get a game (good call Kieran). It was also Manager Dave Millars first debut match in the hot seat. The Ringmer lads put on a good show for Dave and beat Seaford 2-1 with Ryan Betsworth converting a penalty and the second goal from Jordan
