Crook Steals the Headlines as the Blues Roar On
- Monday, 20 February 2012
Long Lanes first team kept up their winning streak with a scruffy, untidy win at home at the weekend making it eight in a row and putting us in a fantastic position to win the premier league.
Once again, in this quite bleak and cold winter, it wasn't fun to be out there with the biting wind and rain coming down throughout. We are also, it seems, not getting much luck with decisions lately, but a wins a win. For various reasons we were without three key defenders and had our new keeper making his debut, so I guess I'm being a little critical when I say that it took a while for the defence to settle and create our normal understanding.
Manager Richard once again proved just how good he is at this job with his team selection, by picking himself for the first time. The gamble paid off with Rich making some important tackles, massive headers and proved to everyone that he really should still be playing this great game regularly (you're a long time retired Rich!). Our team today had Ross in goal and for the first time this season the players seemed confident in passing back. I'm pretty certain he's going to prove a good addition to the squad with his confidence and big voice, which as you know, along with ability, is a massive plus for the defence.
Crayford Arrows Orange vs U7 Lions
- Monday, 20 February 2012
The game started and as usual we pressed hard from the off. We battled and started to win the midfield, a fantastic header by Jordan started a Lions attack but brought no goal. Crayford pushed us hard but some great defending by Alfie and Lewis thwarted everything the Arrows could throw at us.
We attacked with speed and menace, we won a corner and Jordan swung it in and the ball smashed against the post.
Wembley Trip Inspires U9 Lions
- Monday, 20 February 2012
The U9 Lions travelled to Wembley this Saturday to take a tour of the stadium.
Whilst there they visited the Royal Box and had a photo with the FA cup! They also visited the England dressing room as well as various other parts of the stadium. A great day was had by all and the boys all came away with the dream of one day returning to play there for club and country! The day turned out to be great for team bonding:
The following day the Lions took on Sidcup Spartak in a league game and put in a great performance coming away 7-1 winners!
It could have been so much more, as they must have hit the woodwork of Sidcups goal at least 15 times and also had a penalty saved with Rhys saving his 4th penalty against us this season!
They now sit proudly in second place in the Bexley B-league which is a great achievement in their first season. With three hard games coming up whether they can go all the way and win it really depends on results from other teams going our way. But I know they will give 100% and try to finish as high as they possibly can.
Whatever happens, they can all be proud of their first season.
