Reserves Progress to 3rd Round

Our reserves team have only gone and done it again. Still in three cups, Paul Stewart's reserves side made sure progress to the third round of the Suburban League Challenge was achieved with an away 1-1 draw against Southern Counties East club Phoenix Sports Club.

Jeff Okirie, on his first game, grabbed the Casuals goal early on. Phoenix  Sports Club equalised in the last ten minutes to set up a tense finale given they needed just another goal to make it 3-3 on aggregate - obviously this did not happen with the Chocolate and Pink running out 3-2 winners over the two matches. Also making his debut was 17 year old Matthew Roberts. We welcome the two new additions to the squad and hope they enjoy playing football for this historic football club.

Next round the reserves are away to Berkhamsted - date to be confirmed. This Saturday they are at home to Peckham Town's 1st team in 1/4 final of London Senior Trophy and the following Wednesday away to Frimley Green in the quarter final of Surrey Premier Cup.

With a promising fixture calendar lend your support to Paul Stewart's side and cheer them on to victory. Come on the Casuals!
