An enjoyable game this evening at Bayliss Avenue saw Erith town beat Harrow Borough 2-1 in the London Senior cup. Erith could and should have won by more, creating some good chances. A good performance .
Fleet have parted ways with Watling, Josh Wright in charge assisted by David Kerslake.
Probably too little too late, should never have been appointed in the first place. A gamble too far. Ridiculous decision when they should have gone for experience.

Thought they would move on after surviving last season. Should never have sacked the previous manager. Think its about 1 win in 20 odd games though now if you count last season.
Dartford finally seem to have pulled out of their tailspin. Unbeaten in 11. Three wins on the bounce and from a league position nearer the bottom than the top, now 4th after beating Folkestone away in a tight encounter. Looks as if maybe Pennock has steadied the ship and got a team built out of the parts he was given. COYD
Dulwich were deeply unimpressive, despite a fantastic opening goal. I've seen them a couple of times this season and I can't see any fathomable pattern of play. There was a distinct lack of effort at key times too. This is a club that should be having a good go in Conference South....not floating about in the bottom half of Isthmian Premier.
Cray VPM were pretty good. They had some very decisive attacking threat and were helped hugely by a daft own goal. The Cray keeper didn't have a great game but they are a good side.

Was there as well. Thought Cray could’ve won by far more. I’d imagine Dulwich must have a far higher budget. Ref was rather card crazy. Not sure how Cray got 8 bookings
Went to Cowdenbeath v Albion Rovers yesterday. Game interrupted by wind and rain. Every player gave it their all and served up an entertaining encounter despite the conditions. It ended 1-1.
Most of cowdens players are in their late teens and younger. They have a great kid on loan from motherwell a winger who was only 17.
Shit ref as usual. Although he did book one of their players for diving but gave away a ridiculous penalty.

Went to the funeral of Phoenix Sports vice chairman Steve House on Friday, over 300 people in attendance shows how much he was loved by so many, nice to see the team backed it up Saturday with a 3-1 away win at Ashford to take them off the bottom of the table.

Still do stock car racing?
Yes mate. But they have no connection to the club now, apart from going round the pitch,
Went down to Whitehawk v Dulwich Hamlet yesterday for the classic "great day out except for the football match" - Dulwich were 1-0 up but ended up losing 2-1 to 10-man Whitehawk.
Planning to be at Cray Wanderers v Dulwich on New Year's Day.
shame about the weather, suspect they were hoping for a bigger crowd than the 826 they got
I did! I've just got back - it was basically a lovely day out on the booze slightly spoilt by the poor football match and crappy weather (a poor Dulwich lost 1-0 to the Wands). At least you can watch the match from the top of the clubhouse...
I think what Cray Wanderers have done at Flamingo Park is amazing - it's a really good little ground they've built, they're making really good use of the clubhouse building. We went to the Cockpit in the Chislehurst after, where a few of us ended up chatting with the Wands' management team who'd also gone in for a couple of post-match pints. I think they could be onto something really special there.

Apparantly a fan was abusing the referee, the fan would not leave the ground so the ref abandoned the match!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Highlights for those interested Cracking goal at 2.55 and a ridiculous penalty at 4.35 for the equaliser.
We are in disarray following the unexpected departure of our coaching team and four of our top players.
Didn’t think that goal was ever going to come. 95th min winner. Particularly pleasing as I’d had a bet on Cray after you set out Hendon’s issues.
One to keep an eye on maybe.

Not sure where else to post this
but unfortunately I’ll be at Crawley cheering on our first love
