Ah, Kingstonian. Who would’ve thought, a mere five miles separates the two grounds, but it is two clubs that, for the time being, are going in different directions. As we are about to engage in a 9th season at the top of the non-league pyramid, K’s are once again trying to get out of the […]

A Tale of Two Halfs
Every year we always say the same thing, and every year we never actually go through with it. The old “I’m not going to watch any of the pre-season,” line is always banded around at this time of year. But once again we all found our way down to Gander Green Lane for the first […]
Time Gentleman Please
It’s six o’clock on a Saturday morning. My dreams of a jelly wrestling competition in a paddling pool involving Jamie Lee Curtis & Sigourney Weaver are rudely interfered with by the Soviet nation anthem, “Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh” bellowing out at this ungodly hour for a weekend morning from my phone. I would’ve put the […]
Jolly Boys’ Outing to Margate
Wow, you have to go a long long way back to find a time when Gravesend Ebbsfleet weren’t top of the league (middle of September apparently). But for forty fives minutes on Saturday, it was the mighty Sutton that ascended that very summit to bask briefly in all its glory. Of course, win against Stortford […]
When the Going Gets Tough
So, as we head into the final month of the season, we are faced with the real possibility of having a shot at the title. We wouldn’t have considered the prospect a mere couple of months ago. But with Gravesend Ebbsfleet slipping up more times than a drunk man on ice, they have left the door open […]
Frothy Coffee
So, after the huge disappointment of our Surrey Senior Cup exit (not that I’m bitter about it in any way) it was time to turn our attention back to the possibility of trying to catch Gravesend Ebbsfleet in the league. With ten games to go, the points different is currently 12pts. The simple requirement for us is […]
Tears of Disappointment
Why thank you for the hand over Keith “Brandy makes me violent to animals” Robinson. And welcome to another blog about the trophy no one they all want to win, the Surrey Senior Cup. So, who were to stand in our way for a record 29th showpiece? None other than that two time final bogey team, […]
Blessed are the Cheesemakers
Well I didn’t see that result coming. A win maybe, but a damn near thrashing? After struggling to beat lower opposition the week before, I felt that Saturday’s game might be a little harder than what we experienced. I mean, just by looking at the form guide, you saw two teams in the upper echelons […]
Knapping Time
So, it takes us to the back end of February to finally see a new ground this season. I mean, it may be a poky little place in the arse end of nowhere (aka Woking), but it’s somewhere new for us to go to. Oh but wait, two days before we are due to descend on Knaphill […]
Don’t Smash your Head against a Rock
Oh well, another dream down the swanny. Just when you start to thinking about a “Tuesday night in Torquay”, the thought is sent crashing against the rocks of a condom & needle strewn South coast beach. But don’t worry this won’t be a sulk (much) like if we lose at Knaphill for example. Or when […]
