A sunny afternoon in downtown Kidbrooke and as I could not make Hereford today I took the short trip to Broad Walk to see the Reserves/Under 21 develpment team.
The team plays on the 4G astro turf pitch and charge £2 entry which includes the team sheet. 17 players listed for the wings but none for wood as they never sent any names through! I appeared to be the only actual fan there in the crowd of about 12-others being relatives friends etc.
This was only the third game for the team and they certainly came out fighting. By 7 minutes they were 2 nil up. Although they conceeded 2 silly goals they were always ahead and won 5 - 2. IMHO some pretty impresive passing football from a group who are learning their trade. I would not be surprised to see some of the lads today on the bench on Tuesday.
Certainly a good afternoon for me. If anyone can make a game they play at Samuel Monague Boys Club, Broad Walk SE3. Nearest station Kidbrooke (15 minute walk) Buses 132 and 286 to Rochester Way or 122 and 161 to Well Hall Road
