Hi Dave 

Match report BG u10s v Ramsgate u10s

So we played today at home against a strong Ramsgate team, who made the game enjoyable from the off , they did not come to make up numbers and showered from the off their ability to get amongst it and break up play and play football.

Once we started to play football the chances started to come but it wernt to midway from when we got our noses Infront with a superb bit of play and great finish from Geroge.

2nd half we came out and imposed out football much better and more and more attacks started to be created , with Kai and Brad getting on the score sheet.

Good game well played to both teams.

Joint POTM Daniel V & Dexter who put in some Great effort to keep the game in our favour.

Martyn Smith delighted with the Under 12s Double J Boxing squad

Goals from Player of the Match James Worthington (2), a Joe Nicholson free kick and a penalty converted by Tyler Sorsbie saw Martyn and company return home with a terrific 4-2 triumph following a tough encounter with Folkestone outfit Dynamo. 3-1 to the Green at the interval – keep it going boys and girls!

Birthday greetings today to Christopher Keogh

A number of new signings have been completed in readiness for this weekend with former youth player ‘Old Boy’ Joe Griffin returning on Sundays after several years away.

Brian and his charges entertain highly-rated Smarden at Waterside while Alex and co are off to Wittersham (both games kick off at 2.45pm). Sunday offers three challenges with the firsts away to AFC Guildhall, the reserves at home to Folkestone United Reserves and the thirds at ‘home’ to Hugin Vikings at the Jackey Bakers Field. All Sunday fixtures get under way at 10.30am.

Meanwhile, Damion Truelove is looking to build a winning team and has added Henry and Joshua Clark to his McDonalds squad. Lots of new faces at training … welcome!

Those who attend the Thursday night goalkeeping sessions, please note only two more weeks remain due to the clocks changing. So a winter break is looming – but rest assured Grant will resume activities next March.

U18s TMS go down 6-0 away but lots of promise, Daniel Ellis and Tyler Quarrie netted for Ricky and co but we lost 5-2 largely as a result of silly mistakes.

Samuel was on target for the U9s this morning with Sean and Daniel netting for the U11 Hurricanes … details of all our games to follow later from the managers.

Lunchtime update: Our opponents have called off the U14 Utilitas match tomorrow due to Covid within their club. Sorry, don’t shoot the messenger; but clarification that there is no U14 Utilitas match on Saturday.

Four lads whose efforts. were recognised on Wednesday night. Keep it up and thanks to Elaine and our coaches who have covered every session during the horrible pandemic 18 months. Ethan and Joshua always take their training seriously, Harrison’s motivation is the after-training food; while Daniel has made remarkable progress with hard work.

Thanks to departing Lisa – new role for Karen

Big thank you to Lisa Copham for her many hours working as our Secretary since the passing of Stan Donald last year. Sadly, Lisa is standing by her decision to step down and the baton is now taken up by Karen Barnes. Karen can be contacted on 07834 555831 or email k.abarnes@live.com

Maria Black has already taken the role of Registration Secretary and is doing a grand job; plus continuing with her welfare duties. So, some seismic changes within the Executive – but we are in good hands. As the old cliche goes: “It is never boring at The Green”!

BGFC Junior Valiants

I have something for you after training on Wednesday – so pop into the clubhouse for your food and there will be a surprise! Training with Elaine is 5pm – bring your friends.

A classic mixture of joy and despair at the weekend with our three EKYL teams hitting the headlines with three victories but only the Sunday Reserves recording success for the senior sides (Kent Sunday Cup). The depleted firsts lost away to Barming while the Thirds went down 6-1 to Westgate in the Thanet Sunday League.

No match report from the U10 EKYL team but we have had good news from Bobby and Jo. Our U14s, who will receive their new Michelle Webb Childminder kits next week, sit on top of the pile; while the DVS U12s maintained their good form at Lyminge.

Penalty shoot-out drama as DNS boys go through in the Kent Sunday Cup … U12 DVS boys win again … U14s slam 13 without reply as Green complete EKYL treble

Two for Matt Jarvis in a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win … keeper Tom Messenger the hero … report from Richie to follow.

No joy at Maplesden Noakes for the firsts who went down 6-2 carrying a host of injuries. Scorers for the Green were the returning Jordan Osborne and Tommy Hilden.

First off the pitch are the Emerald Girls who held Whitstable to 1-2 at half time but the Oystergirls, with a couple of outstanding forwards, finally ran out 5-1 victors in the KGLFL. On target for the Green was Amy Burren. Well played all!

Meanwhile, it is 1-1 at half-time in the Sunday Reserves home Kent Junior Cup clash with Maidstone Leaguers Invicta Rangers … updates to follow. Extra time at 2-2 – good luck boys!

Great 3-0 away win for the U12 DVS squad in the EKYL at Lyminge. David (2) and Archie on target for the Green whose Player of the Match was Lewis. Mention for last Sundays PoM Cameron. Keep it going everyone!

U14s 7-0 up at half time this afternoon with Charlie Bryant and Derren Straker amongst the goals against Deal Town Rangers. Final score 13-0 with goals from Bryant 4, Straker 4, Fuller 2, Danny-Lee, Jamie Anderson, Charlie Barton.

Following in fathers footsteps – Patrons Player of the Weekend

Four for Brad and one for George boosted the U10 EKYL side yesterday in Canterbury. Not allowed to publish the score but happy days! I used to manage his father Marcus and this brings back happy goal-fest memories!

Kent Sunday Cup action this morning

Home County Cup action for Richie and the DNS Sunday Reserves (10.30am) while Will and the Sunday Thirds are at the Jackey Bakers Field to tackle Westgate (10.30am). Off to Barming for the firsts, also in the Kent Sunday Cup.

In the afternoon (2pm) the EKYL Under 14 squad [sponsored by Michelle Webb Childminding] welcome old friends Deal Town Rangers to Waterside in the knowledge that another maximum points haul will keep us on the tail of the pacemakers. Ben Hatcher misses out through illness.

Smashing inter-club derby [friendly] between the U12 DJB and U13 McDonalds teams that proved a useful run-out for both camps. Freddie Nicholson was awarded PoM for Martyn Smiths side.

Lots of positives for Alex as goals by Chris Boxshall and Alfie Turner put us in with a great chance against Lenham Wanderers Reserves. 2-1 ahead at the interval but the visitors nicked it 3-2. Ryan Hodges was the Green PoM and winner of the beer voucher.

No joy for Brian and the firsts at Sellindge with a 4-0 defeat. Useful experience for some youngsters but apparently Sid and Brian were both PoM lol

Reports to come but well done everyone!

New Under 10 signing Nathan awarded Player of the Match

Open today from 8am with Courtney

A really tasty Under 11 inter-club cup clash is on offer as two of our most exciting squads lock horns at Waterside this morning with the the McDonalds v Avery Builders Hurricanes sure to be top class entertainment. Alex and the Sunday Reserves are at home (2.45pm) while Brian and the firsts go down the A20 to meet Sellindge.

For all the weekend fixtures, please refer to the Events & Fixtures page … enjoy everyone and, once again, please park sensibly.

Managers a friendly reminder that team sheets should have been on the noticeboard by Thursday evening and all result sheets must be completed neatly and in full. Please take a photo of away result sheets and, for home games, leave them on the table in the clubhouse.

Good luck to all our teams in action this weekend … don’t forget it is BINGO NIGHT Friday evening from 6pm

Our good friend James Kelly needs a couple of Vets players for Saturday at Appledore. 1.30pm for 2.15pm kick off. If you are an oldie that fancies a game, give Jim a call on 07801957584.

Analice Lensdell, of Tottenham Hotspur Ladies, is the latest addition to our ever-growing coaching staff. Fresh from an FA Cup victory early in the week, Analice has recovered from injury problems and will link up with Simon Oldfield and the Emeralds U12 Girls. The club will support Analice in her wishes to gain the Level 1 award and is hopeful she will also assume other duties as the winter programme approaches.

From the Honorary Patron: “These are exciting times and Analice is one of a new group of both ladies and males that are looking forward to growing their CPD portfolios within our club. During the last few weeks, amongst others, the following have also dedicated themselves to gaining necessary qualifications: Andrew Naunko, Lee Sage, Elaine Sage, Leanne McKirgan, Matt McKirgan, Jamie Anderson, David Mitchell, Alan Land, Marcus Crane, Ann Marriott, Daniel Houghton. We confidently expect to have three female sides next season with the Ladies and new U13s currently under the guidance of Ray Barker and Karen Barnes (U14s next season) joining Simon and the Emeralds. So much to enthuse over as we enter our 92nd year.”

All the weekend’s fixtures are on the Events & Fixtures page

Huge fun at the Bingo Night – thanks to all those who organised/supported
