Looking forward to another weekend footballfest – with the seniors away on Kent Sunday Cup duty at Larkfield and the U16s and U14s both at The Marsh Academy on Saturday morning for key ADYFL fixtures against Grasshoppers. The U16s welcome Alfie Glendinning and the returning Aiden Tree into the fold.

Gary Gibbs and co enter into the unknown with a trip to Weavering AFC (note kick off is at 11am) while the Sunday Reserves have an attractive home match with Ashford United Thirds (10.30am). Sid and the management team continue to add to the squad and a belated debut is expected from Gazza ‘Rooney’ Ranson as the mixture of youngsters and experience seek their first points in a learning-curve season.

Saturdays are always buzzing with the extra youth teams and, with players continuing to join us, we are quietly confident of a successful season. Can’t give names; but some really keen children have joined recently with some making their first appearance this Saturday. We could have yet another U9 side with the aim of providing regular friendlies to keep all the children engaged and developing.

The Under 11s who are away to Kennington Juniors … meet 9am in the clubhouse with kick off at Ball Lane scheduled for 10am
Preston, Alfie, Josh, Harrison, Charlie, Sam, Thomas, Kieron B, Matteo, William, Timmy. [Kieron J & Ben H not available for selection].

The U8s Colts played really well today against Grasshoppers with nice passing and solid goalkeeping. We created a lot of chances and the man of match goes to Steven for being on target and number of times and it was a great performance – onwards and upwards a little green likes a big thank you to my new assistants Joe and Dan is an amazing job today.

Under 11s continue stunning form

Birthday boy Charlie Bryant is our U11s Player of the Match today

Today we welcomed Headcorn to Waterside and another great performance from my team matched by a great show by Headcorn who are a new team to the league. Not allowed to give score or if we won or lost or goal scorers names so all I can say is ‘well done; boys, I’m happy with the performance’. PoTM today goes to Birthday Boy Charlie for some solid defending. Regards Rob.
