Last Weekend at GHC
Friday night at GHC we hosted RGS in a series of 7-a-side matches against our Boys U10s and 12s and Girls U13 teams. A great time was had by all and RGS really appreciated the opportunity to get so many teams and boys playing in games.
Thank you to all who made it happen and especially to those squads whose regular Friday training was displaced to Charterhouse for the evening!
Our Men's and Ladies 1st teams both won again last Saturday; for the Ladies it was a mid-season friendly against Maidenhead and the M1s brought home 3 points against West Hampstead.
M1's player Ross Fergusson scored a hatrick, earning a place at the top of the League goalscoring leaderboard with 16 so far this season.
Both teams top their tables with the M1s undefeated and the L1s having lost only once.
With 10 senior teams playing on Saturday, we had 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats - scored 25 goals and let in 19.
On Sunday the Under 12 Boys and Girls were out in force as were the Under 10 Girls.
With a few tough matches for some of our Prem teams, the Boys Under 14s Prem team pulled their weight by putting 19 goals past their opponents on Sunday while the BU14 Challenge team put 11 past theirs!

Boys U18 Super 6s Finals
Eleven senior matches are taking place on Saturday with the Ladies 1s in a friendly at Charterhouse 11am on Saturday and the M1s away at Trojans in a top of League table clash (only 1 point between them!). Good luck, guys!
Sunday sees our littlest players on a road trip in their U8 festival to Horsham!
And the Under 12 Boys and Girls and the Under 10 Boys are all playing plenty of 7-a-side matches at Broadwater.
Despite that it is a training day for County Squads, there are several other matches on as well.
