There is a chilly bite to the air as we hurtle towards the Christmas break: The Firsts were narrowly beaten 2-3 at home by Catholic United in the Anagram Records Trophy. A hard fought game from the Dragons who took the lead after 20 mins with CU equalising just before half time. In the second half CU demonstrated their underlying quality by scoring two quick goals to stun…
This weekend’s matches were livened up by playing a number of competitive International Friendlies against Crystal Lake Illinois, USA: The Firsts beat Enfield Borough 0-2 away in the Second Round of the Middlesex County Premier Cup. This midweek match led to yet another win for Dragons. The Firsts and the Blues League matches were postponed due to…
HELP!We are unusual because we do not charge a membership fee. We rely on our Patrons, Sponsors and Voluntary Donations. Coaches do not know who donates so players are treated the same – regardless of their financial circumstances. We do not think it fair that some young people cannot afford to play organised sport so…

In a good weekend marked by more wins than losses: The Firsts beat Stonewall 2-1 away in a hard-fought match.

The Blues beat Southall Athletic 2-1 in the Middlesex Cup at home. After much toing and froing to settle on a venue the…
With so many teams there are always triumphs to report in between the character building reversals and so it proved this week: The Firsts narrowly lost 1-3 at home to Pitshanger Dynamo.
