Lyndhurst 2-0 Recreativo
Challenge Cup Quarter Final 4th April 2008

With the pitches bathed in glorious sunshine, the team warmed up and ready to go, we were feeling positive about our chances against the south division outfit Lyndhurst. The first half saw both teams have a few chances in and around the box, but nobody seemed to get a decent shot in and the teams went in level at half time. Ollie, Storm and Jaden linked up very well, passing, moving into space and running on to through balls. But on the two occasions we stood off the ball, we allowed Lyndhurst to break through and score twice late on. The final whistle saw despair and tears etched across the faces of our team as we experienced the heartache of going out of the Cup. Still, we battle on. We take a big deep breathe, get over it and then look forward to our next game. We keep getting knocked down, but we always get up again and go out again ready to give it our best shot.
Team: Eren Doldur, Harry Butcher, George Wakefield, Benji Barbour-Ricketts, Ollie Goldblatt, Jaden Stephenson, Louis Dillon, Storm Gregory-Hickling, Zeki Bolat, Sam Abdullah-Kirton, Lara Tolington, Daniel Garcia-Fernandez.

Training
We continue training every Sunday in Clissold Park, Stoke Newington. The unseasonal wintry weather covered our pitch in a blanket of snow this weekend. As well as our training, we managed to have a really great
snowball fight!
