That tales me back to the late 1950s when Darts Reserves v Metropolitan Police was a regular fixture in the Metropolitan League. Showing my age there tho!

Yes I can remember these games to and would have thought that the likes of Johnny Ripley and Lou Cooper in the early days would have been playing before they broke into the first team.

Hi Trev,
I remember DFC reserves thumping Woodford Town 9-1 with a certain Mr John Ripley scoring double hat trick.
Circa 1961-2

Hi Trev,
Hi Trev,
Your memory is a bit better than mine Barry I remembered John Ripley scoring the double hat trick which is what prompted his name and I think that Lou got on the score sheet that day as well but I certainly couldn't remember who it was against well done.I remember DFC reserves thumping Woodford Town 9-1 with a certain Mr John Ripley scoring double hat trick.

Just been looking at previous results against Met Police for the match preview. The Princes Among Men book lists two games in 1974-75 took place in the MSFL. Does anyone know what this competition was and what MSFL stands for please?

I can remember going to the Metropolitan Police game in the 1984 85 season in the FA Cup 1st Round when we beat them 3-0
My dad and I sat in the grandstand and two rows behind us was the Match Of The Day commentator and yes we were on the television that night and
we watched George Borg scoring a cracking goal again.

Remember it well, our game starts after about 22 mins
Re: London Senior Cup - Dartford v Metropolitan Police Tue 17 Jan 2023
Thankyou Park Life an excellent reminder of that day and I was there with my son Matt (The 5th Searcher) as he reminded me plus another goal from Tony Burman to remember.

Dad I know I’m getting older but I’m your son not your dad , I was with you at that game. Your dad had passed away many years before.Trevor B wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 3:48 pm I can remember going to the Metropolitan Police game in the 1984 85 season in the FA Cup 1st Round when we beat them 3-0

It was Tony Gubba doing the commentary for this game for
Match Of The Day.
George Borg hit an absolute screamer.
I also remember presenting a cheque to the Met Police at another match at their ground, the generous Darts fans had held a collection a week or two leading up to the game for a terminally Ill disabled child who required much needed treatment abroad from what I can remember. It was all linked to Met Police FC, I vaguely remember a few clubs all helping out.
I know we managed to raise a few hundred pounds for them anyway.

Glad to say I was there and can spot myself behind the goal (sad).

It's a good job you corrected me that's what happens at 74 the memory not so good but my main excuse for the error I was trying to do two things at once as I was supposed to be at home working on the firms computer spreadsheets and tried to catch up on our postings as well and in between a phone call and look what happened
I put the references to my dad on the wrong posting as it should have gone on the Darts trip to Wembley as I was on the coach with him.
Both postings now corrected
