Celebration of the Century

Last Saturday, Corinthian-Casuals celebrated 75 years of the merger between the two famous amateur clubs and they did it in style… with a 7-0 rout of relegated Redhill.

Advertised as a family fun day with free entry, kid’s entertainment and live music, a bumper crowd watched as Casuals tore their hapless hosts apart. First half goals from Captain Joe Hicks, Ross Defoe, Mahrez Bettache and Saheed Sankoh put the hosts firmly in control. And things didn’t get any better for Redhill in the second period; Ellis Wilson-Joseph made it five before man of the match Jamie Byatt added two more goals to his already impressive tally of thirty for the season. 


Byatt celebrated in style with his shirt paying homage to Brazillian side S.C. Corinthians Paulista – who maintain strong ties to their forefathers in Tolworth. In fact, Byatt’s celebration shots drew the attention of Corinthian fans in Brazil with thousands sharing the images via social media… a testament to the +118,000 followers of Corinthian-Casuals on Facebook.
