Whilst it may have been fierce for the rest of the UK “Storm Dennis” was more like “Wet Dismal Dennis” for West London. Almost constant drizzle and rain lead to waterlogged pitches and another weekend of reading improving books rather than thumping goals into opposition nets: All matches were called off
The wind and rain came between football and the Dragons on the Sunday: The Firsts beat Sporting Hackney 1-0 at home.
