A surprisingly dry afternoon at HQ was the venue for this weekend’s fixture against Amersham & Chiltern- A rivalry that stretches back…to one pre-season fixture, but to some, a lifetime. With both sides bringing along plenty of support, it was sure to be a feisty affair- No love lost between this author and his former […]
A cold, greasy morning met the Hammers 2s as they awoke early for trip to Barnes to scrape their collective knees on the 4G at Rosslyn Park to take on the Bs. Some didn’t make it out of bed however and the usual Saturday morning reshuffle began with lads going up and down the teams […]
