To say scrambled is very harsh, it was a good solid performance, East Preston are a good team and am sure they will climb the table over the season |

Yes I would like to agree with that comment it was a great team performance.We had a lot of tired legs and injuries out there last night but all the squad battled until the last minute and that is what gets you through Cup comps.
I would also like to say a special thankyou to all of you that travelled last night to support us it was a good turn out with lots of noise all the team are very greatful. Juppy. Erith Town at home in the next round I believe,another winable tie. Lets hope we can continue in the FA Vase saturday at home to Selsey and have another good vocal crowd. |

I'd just like to add my thanks to the players for a very hard working and determined performance against East Preston. I was very proud of the manner in which we kept working.

'Scrambled home' in the sense of.........What a lottery penalties are.
You can be 'all over' the opposition for 90 mins yet still lose over the 'lottery'. and vice versa. No disrespect to the team intended............Well done. |
