After a ridiculously successfully season in which 4 of our 6 sides got promoted we go again with search for new talent to add to our ranks. If you are looking to join a friendly and competitive amateur football club in South London and are sociable, a team player and decent at football then get in touch with us here!
The Algarve Tour proved to be huge success – massive thanks OK to Staunts for organizing an amazing tour!
We did pretty well in the footy, with both Old Thorns teams reaching the semi-finals but sadly ‘Team A’ lost the final on penalties.
Still the main thing was everyone had an amazing trip and after 3 years without a Tour this really made up for the lost time! Great stuff!

Another fine set of results this week with the 2s continuing their rich vein of form vs Sedcopians. Elsewhere wonderful news for the 4s as they got promoted from South 2 as they won 2-1 via a penalty in the last two minutes.

With the 5s and 6s out of action and the 1s and Vets at home , the weather just about held off so the games were playable.
