Eton Manor to share at Barking

[lesbos]

Essex Senior League club Barking have announced that from the beginning of the forthcoming season they will be sharing their ground with another famous old club.

 

Eton Manor have reached an agreement with Barking & Dagenham Council to play at Mayesbrook Park and the Blues welcome this addition to the feast of football which will be available.

 

Plans are in progress for improvements to the ground to be implemented in the not too distant future.

 

Subject to cup draws there will be senior football played at the ground every Saturday and on weekday evenings, plus Barking`s reserves will play home matches on weekday evenings too.

 

This means that supporters of both clubs will, if unable to travel to away games, be able to see decent class football at Mayesbrook Park every week.

 

As part of Barking`s development and their work in the community, they will also be running youth teams at under-18, 16 and 15 level, although not all of these games will be played at Mayesbrook Park.

 

Eton Manor finished sixth in the Essex Senior League last season and had a successful second half of the season under the leadership of manager Steve Munday.

 

Both clubs will be challenging for a high position in the league as well as hoping for successful cup runs which promises some entertaining and exciting football.

 

Eton Manor`s reserves also had a successful season, managed by Rob O

I thought Rob O' Brian was at barking?

 

Looks like a good deal for both clubs. Only reservations I have is if the pitch can put up with all those games.

I think you may find Rob and Mundo were at Barking not Eton Manor.
