Welwyn Garden City 1 - Chalfont St Peter 1

[ORACLE]

Fielding at least 10 players that had either followed Del Deanus from Leyton or played for him at Edgware Town the new boys at Welwyn got off to a good start with a battling performance against a strong Chalfont side who, although currently in mid table have games in hand on those above them following their goods runs in the various cup competitions.

 

The Citizens had to wait until the 85th minute to take a share of the points, Mark Blackburn's superb strike cancelling out the Saints 50th minute goal.

 

Rob Blackburne in the home goal was called upon to make some excellent saves to keep the Citizens in the game and the midfield marshalling of Junior Lewis kept the visitors at bay for the first half.

 

It was a free kick 20 yards out that unfortunately took a deflection and bounced up over Blackburne that put the visitors ahead 5 minutes from the restart.

 

With his twin brother Stuart sidelined after sustaining a head injury, it was left to

How many of these players are with there third SSMFL club this season,

[bosman08]

How many of these players are new since the last match WGC have played? And have all the others been shown the door without even been assessed by the new management?

More importantly was Bilbo and Paul Gregory in attendance at Herns Lane, I'll wager they weren't at Waltham Abbey where Leyton were playing.

[Bilbo]

Rhodent, perhaps you should read the below, it is a reply that Steve Newing sent to Numpty when he went on the Isthmian forum with his usual inane rambling about Steve and Del as well as offering to fight all of us and get himself barred from Kingsbury, another club he professed to love earlier in the season.

 

Gav, please do try and for once to STOP and THINK.

 

As usual you find it impossible not to have a pop at me, but actually this is all about DEL and no one else.

 

You slagging off the ambition of players and supporters is so way off the mark that you couldn

Interesting to Andy Pilides playing, he turned out for me a couple of times last season. Good young defender who will progress further up the pyramid.

[Rhodes]

Bilbo - You're missing the point, I was merely curious to see whether you would be dropping Leyton like a brick and following Del and Steve to Welwyn Garden City like the sheep on Gavin's Blog, I really think that picture said everything about your mentality. Steve's above post to Gavin sets his stall out and it's clearly made from the heart, his surprise arrival at Herns Lane to link up with Del will add a lot of interest to the SSML and they have already hit the ground running.

[ORACLE]

Bilbo, please do not respond to this post.

[Barney Rubble]

Rhodes some things are more important. I know some of the lads who have gone in support of Del, 2 of which have been offered 3 figures weekly to play elsewhere. It makes me proud to know these lads with what they are doing.

[Rhodes]

Barney Rubble - Long time no speak, are you still with Cheshunt. That's interesting as I don't believe there is any money at Welwyn Garden City, it's refreshing that a player would turn down a three fgure weekly sum in order to go there which says a lot about Del and Steve and how highly they are regarded.

[Barney Rubble]

Never been with Cheshunt. Just a spectator these days. There is no money whatsoever at WGC which shows massive credit to Del and the boys who are all worth a few quid.

[Rhodes]

Sorry, I confused you with Officer Dibble. Yes I'm not taking anything away from Del and Steve, they will be a great addtion to the SSML and I will follow their progress with interest.

[Reds76]

What are the chances of tonight's game between WGC and Cockfosters being on? Anyone at WGC seen the pitch? I would imagine it got cut up on Saturday and there's been plenty of rain since...

[Barney Rubble]

it was like wembley on Saturday.

[ORACLE]

Game should be on as long as the rain holds off today.

 

Paul Marks and Steve Brady will be available from Saturday and Richard Morton, coming back from a serious injury should be fit in a few weeks.

 

No news as yet on Denis Maharjan and Adam Wallace.

[Rhodes]

The Welwyn & Hatfield Times are very complimentary about the performance on Saturday, you have to take your hat off to Del and Steve:

Craig Tomkins, pictured, came up through the youth team at Edgware Town. Where he scored some spectacular goals.

 

After turning 18 he played in a number of first team games for the Wares.

 

Craig also featured in the FA Sunday Cup playing for St Andrews who played at the White Lion. He came on as a late sub and promptly scored 3 goal in the space of 10 minutes winning the game for St Andrews.

 

[Barney Rubble]

The boys who follow Steve and Del are solid in togetherness like a marriage. They should wear a ring, which is like a circle, it goes on forever. It's not like a triangle, triangle have corners. It's like a circle!

[Rhodes]

Barney Rubble - I think that must be one of the funniest posts anyone has made since the SSML Forum came into being in July 2006. So I take it Bilbo is part of this so called 'Magic Circle' and he was at Herns Lane on Saturday, I know he wasn't at Waltham Abbey watching Leyton.
