U18’s ROUND UP:

As we reach the midway point of the Isthmian Youth East season, the lads are well placed to repeat last years title feat.

The lads made a bright start to the league campaign winning their first four games, before a disappointing 4-1 defeat away at Cray Valley PM took the league out of our hands.

However since that defeat, Cray have slipped up and we have recorded three successive wins to put the destination of the title back in our own hands.

As with last season it looks to be another close run thing in the division but the lads play some stunning football at times, and with the prolific George Vincent up top we look dangerous in every game.

Cup performances have not been as good as last year, and we bowed out of the FA Youth Cup early on, going down 2-1 to Corinthian Casuals, a free kick with the last kick of the game knocking us out.

We also exited the league cup early on going down 5-1 to Hampton & Richmond Borough, however, there were mitigating circumstances, Royal Russell first team had a game that day, and the second string played the game, and we no match for Hampton.

We still have a Surrey Floodlit Cup fixture to keep our cup hopes going, and that sees us host Chipstead, with the winners entertaining Glebe in the next round.
