14/3 Home to Broad Oak & Horam March 21, 2008
Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentA hastily arranged friendly saw us take on Broad Oak in our second 11 a side outing.
The coaches certainly enjoyed the fact that there were only two goals to put up rather than four and that the store cupboard hadn’t had more locks added!!

Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentThe morning didn’t start too well when we arrived to set up to find that the Council had lovingly fitted a new mortice lock on the store cupboard but neglected to let anyone at the club have the keys!!

1/08 Match v Tunbridge Wells February 3, 2008
Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentBack to 7 a side for our first matches of 2008.
Despite have some players missing and having no subs, we started off from where we left off against East Hoathly.
Flames recorded two impressive wins of 5-1 and 2-0. The King brothers led the scoring list with Jack k recording 4 goals in the first match and 1 in the second. Brother Harry added the 5th in the first match and callum the other goal in the 2-0 win. A superb team performance with the boys taking a share of goal keeper duties and with no subs having to work very hard. Scoring 7 and letting in just the 1 goal was a great achievement. Jack P was the man of the match with another commanding performance in defence. One slidding tackle he made was the best i have seen for sometime. Well done Barry and the squad.
U10s First 11 a side match v East Hoathly
Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentWe arranged a friendly away to East Hoathly and decided to go for an 11 a side game to see how we got on playing on a full size pitch with 11 not 7 in the team. it was also a great opportunity to bring all the players together in one team.
Matches v Rusthall 27/10/07 October 31, 2007
Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , add a commentThis was our first fixture against Rusthall and they turned out to be strong opposition.
Arrows suffered two 2-0 losses but fought hard to the end. We are obviously suffering from a small squad having just the required 7 a side with no subs to introduce like our opponents had. Jordi is away on an eight week Cricket coaching course, Oliver is not available at present and Joshua was on holiday. The positives here are the fact Scott is keen to play in goal ( hurray a volunteer to play in goal!!) and we continue to see some tremendous performances from Daniel and Lilly is making great strides. Daniel was in commanding form once again and he is looking like an excellent centre half in the making. Daniel was man of the match again, well deserved.Lilly’s tackling just gets better and better drawing praise from her team and the opposition coaches. She ran Daniel close for player of the matchWe just need to remain positive, keep working on our technique and results will improve. All credit to the team once again.
