[Kel]

For anyone travelling to the Final v Staines at Harrow Borough FC tonight, 7.45ko, the entrance fee will be £2.00.

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

does any one know the full time score?

[Wivenhoe Urchin]

According to Staines website, we lost 3-0.

 

I noticed from our programme that it was our under 18's playing tonight, so it could be considered a half decent result if Staines put out some conference south players!

Hard luck lads,I would of gone if it had been at a more convenient venue and I know that others would of gone as well.

Why on earth they would stick it at a ground in west London on a bank holiday is beyond me,hang your heads in shame,bet there was no more than a handful of fans at the game

[ProgEd]

It wasn't actually in West London, it was in North London. I can't think of a better venue unless it was played at Staines or Hornchurch. But you're right, there weren't many there. 61, I believe. Staines had a full reserve side captained by Scott Taylor (300 or so Football League games), we played the kids plus Nathan Philip, Mike Bowditch, Tam and the Lone Spencer. Fair result in the end, but the lads gave a good account of themselves and Staines reckoned we edged the first half. Last Capital League game at Brimsdown tomorrow: much more convenient, not a bank holiday, so no doubt EU will be there.

[Eastside Urchin]

Possibly

If we want to be picky butch Harrow is actually middlesex but is classed as north west London

Surely somewhere like Potters bar would be a better venue where fans could get to it a little bit easier rather than have to put up with the M25 and then getting through the north west London roads in the evening when everyone is coming home from their bank holiday day out.

Better still,seeing as the last time the two clubs met in the final it was played at Staines then maybe playing it at Hornchurch may of been fair

As for tomorrow,may pop over but doubt it as one hopes to be working

[Kel]

Potters Bar wasn't available.

[Eastside Urchin]

Should of had it at Hornchurch then,fairs fair and all that

Perhaps we should start next season with the under 18's and add a few experienced players with them.

My not get promotion but set a foundation for the future.

Would have thought Frankie Williams was worth a few Sub appearances this season.

[Eastside Urchin]

Frankie Williams has been scoring for fun in the ESL

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

can he not play for the first team yet?

[Eastside Urchin]

He could if the gaffer though he was ready.The ESL is a completely different level,he is still very young and may get pushed about a bit at this level but if he bulks up a bit or can take it he is defiantly one for the future

[Hornchurch "O"]

You can win things with kids.

[ProgEd]

Well, we didn't win the President's Cup with the Under1-18s and a few experienced players...

[Eastside Urchin]

Winning the premier league with young professionals who pretty much all went on to star for their countries is a bit different from sticking 11 under 18's out in the ryman prem

[Hornchurch "O"]

We are not winning anything with experienced players either.

Be nice to have a steady team that has played regularly together.
