Results of Girls Matches on Sunday 9th Oct

Under 14
Kent League. Vs Gravesend. Won 14 - 0.
A one sided game against a spirited Gravesend team in their first Kent League appearance. Too many goalscorers to mention. No doubt there are tougher tests to come.


Under 16
Kent League. Vs Maidstone. Lost 5 - 0.
A difficult first match for the B team against a strong Maidstone team, but encouraging considering most have not played together before. With more experience better results will come.

Kent League. Vs Canterbury. Won 3 - 2.
Title decider in the first match ? End to end stuff in an evenly contested match between two good teams. Goals from Daisy Ridout (2) and Katie Lister swing it our way against traditional rivals.


Under 18
Home Counties League. Vs East Grinstead. Won 1 - 0.
Another high standard game between two well matched teams. A first half goal from Ashton Tame tilts balance to us. Further chances at both ends but strong defence and saves from Emma Morris ensure our win.

Match Report U14 BromBeck Boys Kent League v Marden

This was the first Kent league game for the newly merged Bromley/Beckenham U14 Boys. The squad was missing 8 players to county and regional training but still managed to turn out a formidable team consisting of Dan Smedley, James Forryan, Harry Beaven, Mark Vivien, Andrew Lenoard, John Roberts, Joss Herring, Will Harris, John Hodges, Harry Stones, Jack Bridger, Ben Tanner, Matt Holden. I will not name players on every match report, but I think it is useful in these early games so we are familiar with names.

The match start was delayed due to Marden's late arrival also there was an important 1st team match starting at 2pm ,so this games was shortened to 25 minute halves.

The emphasis on boys was to keep our shape and keep the marking tight together with previously rehearsed short corner routines, this paid off with the first and second goals by Jack Bridger then the third and fouth goals by Harry Stones and then the fifth goal by Will Harris making the final score 5-0 to Bromley/Beckenham.

I noticed Andrew Leonard played exceptionally well at centre half as did Harry Beaven as sweeper.

My thanks also go to all the players above who put in a very good performance which Myself and Doug were very proud of.
