Our 2nd year in the Chelmsford League was a mixed affair. For the 1st half of the season up to Christmas we battled well, were within 20seconds of beating Chelmsford City (runaway winners) and were laying 2nd before Christmas.
The 2nd half was a different story with some very inconsistent and poor displays, the unsettling nature of selecting a team from the squad of players with one eye on building for next seasons 11-a-side (then to become 9-a-side!) probably being the main reason but team performances fell away, as did our league position to 6th.
We changed venues for the end of season tour to Great Yarmouth and experimented by playing up a year at U11's, 11-a-side football in preparation for next season. It was a tough mental challenge for most of the players, not to mention the significant physical challenge they had to deal with. But deal with it they did, producing three out of five superb displays, leading the final game 2-1 only to be sunk by two headed corners by a six foot lad! Results wise the lads were understandably dissapointed but it will prove to be a worthwile experience next season.
Arthur Laver and Archie Whittingham were joint Keepy Uppy Kings with 28.
