I missed the opening game of the season on account of the fact that I was on a sun lounger in Portugal (I swear the season starts earlier each year!). Sadly, we lost that game but since then have recorded three wins on the bounce, all away from home.

First up was a trip to Stansfed FC on a sunny Tuesday for a 6.30pm evening kick-off. We were the stronger team from the off, creating several chances but somehow found ourselves 1-0 down thanks to a quick long throw-in that caught us napping allowing their centre forward to nip-in for an easy finish. However, we battled back and were 2-1 up early in the second half, a lead we managed to hold, despite Stansfeld throwing everything at us. I made a few decent saves (including a fingertip save with the very last touch of the game) and was delighted to be named MoM.

Next we travelled down the M2 to play in-form Cuxton 91 on a glorious Saturday afternoon. A very evenly matched game saw us level at 2-2 on 90 mins, but we dug in and managed to sneak the winner deep into injury time (90+6). Safe to say the dressing room was buzzing after that.

Special thanks to photographer The Onion Bag who captured the game brilliantly (including the photo in the header of this post). And also to Brixton Buzz for their match report and photo set.

On Bank Holiday Mondy (28^th August) we travelled to Kent United and came away 4-2 winners. If I’m honest, it was a scrappy game that we should have won by a bigger margin. But a win is a win and another 3 points on the board sees us climb to 3^rd in the league.
