Scorers: White, Bailey

Great game at the weekend and despite only having 9 players we borrowed a couple of lads from the school (Geoff and Brian!!) and played some excellent football to get a 2-0 win. Some great performances all round;

Team Summary
Bob Black - little to do all day but quality penalty save
Bertie Brass - classy and assured as ever, picked up an injury but has 12 mths now to recover
Steve Mc - after 6 mths out injured was solid at the back and good link up play on the left hand side
Billy - excellent Phil Neville utility role and great assist for 1st goal
Piercey - MOM performance, bossed the midfield
Al Merce - non-stop chat as usual but despite that was busy and very effective
Oli - rather happy with my Ronaldinho toe poke for 2nd goal…..
Cat - great run & brave header for the first goal and ran tirelessly all afternoon
Higgo - managed to get a few good headers in on goal despite a wrist injury and food poisoning (smiled throughout & looked like he thoroughly enjoyed the 90 minutes...)

So a great start to the campaign but despite lots of people expressing an interest availability is still v poor as we only had 6 players and had to include some non-Vets which isn’t an option for the Cup games. Please all make sure you put the dates in your calendar and keep them free - I'll be sending out next email in a couple of weeks for the Harrovians friendly but dates are;

Sunday 28th October - Old Harrovians (Bank of England)
Sunday 18th November - Old Wykehamists (Winchester) 1st round of Cup
Sunday 24th February - Old Harrovians (Bank of England)
