Hoddesdon Last Night

[HKS_EFM_GialloBlu]

The reserves won 3 - 2 against bottom club Hoddesdon Town last night.

 

After surviving a 14 second penalty and cruising at 2 - 0, through goals by Ryan Moran (he's claiming it anyway) and Dean Stannard (outside of the right foot, top left hand corner), a defensive blunder by goalkeeper Pete Hanson allowed them back into the game.

 

With Hoddeson on the ascendancy and, it should be said some very poor decisions from the assistant referee, it was on the cards that they would equalise which they did through an own goal by Lee Gledhill.

 

Dean Stannard scored on the winner 10 minutes from time with a free kick from the edge of the area, after Greg Deacon had stepped over the ball.

Full report and team line up on Reserves page (well, it will be in a minute).

 

Why is there never any mention of the Reserves in the matchday programme?

When the reserves get promoted, who will be in their division for next season??

Partly my fault I'm afraid, it's been a bit difficult to find the time.

 

However, Steve did include a few lines in the Sutton programme and there's more in the Grays one this week.

 

Steve and I have spoken about it and the intention is to feature the reserves more comprehensively next season.

There's a bit of toing and froing at the moment due to the formation of a Herts reserve league, however some of those who will be there next season are,

 

Braintree

Canvey Island

East Thurrock

Great Wakering

Heybridge Swifts

Hornchurch

Ilford

Leyton

Tibury

St Albans

Purfleet

Barking & East Ham

 

All in all there will be 16 teams

Didnt play like a team at the bottom ....because they were not the normal players available for reserve fixtures... some first teamers maybe ?

 

Never mind at least they lasted the whole match !! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Canvey away with the reserves - any chance of playing this on a Saturday when we've got Harrow at home or something
