Thanks Tony. I enjoyed the post match refreshments too. I had a really interesting conversation with Gabby's mum and dad and caught up with Sarah who told me all about her recent trip to Japan. It was good to hear Fay saying that irrespective of the Princes Park result they still want to beat Fulham...

This was a great game for the neutrals. But not for the supporters of both sides in the end. No doubt there'll be some very sore fingers out there due to severely gnawed nails. It could have all been so different though. In the very first minute Amy Russ took on the Saltdean midfield and defence on ...

That team ..... do they have webbed-feet? Exactly two years on from the landside above the Kuflink Stadium, Ebbsfleet have suffered from aftershocks ever since. Infact, I've still got a copy of the Kent Messenger with the sub-headline featuring the collapse above the main story featuring a full fro...

As the league nears it's conclusion, we welcome Saltdean United to Princes Park for our biggest game of the season so far. It's a title eliminator. Our girls have already beaten Saltdean recently, earning a deserved hard fought 1-0 victory on a difficult pitch at Hill Park. If our ladies win this Su...

There's a rather unpleasant aroma wafting down from the Midlands towards the south coast. And I smell a rat. A Birmingham one. Have you seen the size of them? Even the local moggies are scared to leave the catflap these days, preferring to remain in self-imposed lockdown. Beware of the giant mouse y...

Went through the GFT last month. There was a really fat busker down there which could explain the closure. Doesn't bear thinking about does it? Infact, Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life' springs to mind. An explosion like that would cause a tidal wave of catastrophic proportions outperforming The...

I agree with your comment regarding the Woolwich Ferry Tony. Although it will probably be taken down by a Russian submarine before 2050. My ETA for the 5 mile journey to Barking FC from North Woolwich would have seen me arrive at the ground 30 minutes before kick off. Short of attempting to swim acr...

I've spent the best parts of my life working and backpacking my way around Australia, Europe and the Middle East. Originally starting out before the advent of the mobile phone. Imagine that? Gen Z certainly wouldn't. They can barely navigate their way from the bedroom to the front door without one. ...

This will go down as a tremendous season come what may. We have a special group of players being guided by brilliant coaching staff. The evidence of all the hard graft on the training pitch is there to see on match days. The reputation of these dedicated people stretches far beyond the pitch too. Ev...

This Sunday the DWFC road show continues when our ladies travel to Barking FC. It will be their 5th consecutive league game away from home. It's been a successful tour to date as we approach the business end of the season where every game's a cup final. Barking are in decent form lying 5th in the ta...

Apart from declaring my total admiration for the bravery of the player behind the alleged challenge, without the protection of shoulder pads and crash helmet, I'm saying nothing

Sin bins, relying on transitions to score goals. What more could I expect from a Lucy Clark post match interview. Clark wasn't watching the same game as me and I was standing only a few yards away from the Sutton United dugout. Basically, so I could compliment the linesman for his decision making ev...

Excellent video Tony. Short but very compelling capturing three pivotal moments during the course of the game. Great work, especially taking into account the age of your equipment. You certainly get a tune out of it to produce such fine quality.

First of all, congratulations to Ebbsfleet United who currently sit top of the consistency league. To lose consecutive games 6-0 to the same opposition is no mean feat. The same opposition who also happen to be our title rivals. Now fancy that. Could it be we are simply victims of our own success wi...

This Sunday sees our 3rd consecutive away day when the ladies take on Sutton United at Chipstead FC, just south of Coulsdon. Basically they've been shunted down the road to make way for WSL club Crystal Palace this season. Before that Palace were playing at Hayes Lane, home of Bromley FC. Former Pri...

I've just seen the post match interview with Ebbsfleet.
They are a disgrace to the integrity of the game.

Well, well, well. What a complete contrast to the wasteland of Saltdean. The Sussex Downs dust bowl. Not to be confused with the Devil's Punch Bowl, just east of Hindhead in Surrey. Ashford Town's immaculate playing surface is as smooth as a bowling green. I commented before the match our girls will...

Our ladies are on the road again when they take on Ashford United at Homelands Park, in their continued pursuit of the league title. After successfully navigating their way to a well earned three points on a difficult pitch at Saltdean last weekend, our girls will find themselves plying their trade ...
