Another great year for the Juniors.

From Chris Rule.

Pleased to report that our Boys have completed a clean sweep by
winning the U18, U16 and U14 Kent Leagues.

Our U14’ Clinched victory yesterday against Canterbury. Needing
only to avoid a 5-0 win to take the league, under the leadership of
Neil Berry we brushed aside our nearest contenders 7-3.

Our U16’s under the leadership of Chris Dodd and Mike Howes won
their competition last weekend. As there are two leagues the top 4
from each went into a cup knockout competition. We drew Canterbury
in the QF’s and despite missing some of their top players, they won 2-1.

The Finals day last weekend saw them beating T Wells in the Semi’s
and Sutton Valence by the same score in the Final.

Our U18’s won their league with straight wins, as in fact did the U14’s.

The U18’s lost to the competition favourites Reading, with 4 U18
internationals in their side, our players stepped up a level or two in
this game. A very tight first half saw us marginally edged out.
We went 1-0 down after 26 minutes to a PF.
The second half saw us dominate the first 20 minutes, but despite
this we could not convert a number of chances nor the short corners
Reading conceded. A mistake with 12 minutes to go, gave Reading a
chance to stretch their lead and it was not going to be missed by their
International striker. Pressing forward we conceded another shortly after,
and whilst a disappointing result, our players should be very proud of the
standard of play they achieved.
