Rhodes Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Nice to see The London Football Guide has acknowledged the match on Saturday: Poppy Match Oxhey Jets v Coldstream Guards @3pm - the hosts had one of their players killed while on active service in Afghanistan 10 years ago. As a result, they hold a Poppy Match on Remembrance Weekend to raise funds for the Royal British Legion. This year their opponents are the Coldstream Guards. It's £5 to get in.

Was a wonderful afternoon, very moving and inclusive with many groups laying wreaths, a piper and of course the Last Post and a beautifully observed 2 minutes silence. The disabled stand was unveiled in Tom's memory as well, by his mum and the Senior officer (programme not to hand so idk who that was). A record crowd of 438 saw the Guards concede 6 without reply, but on a day like this the football was incidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
