No match for the Athletic today as

3 points awarded, would of much rather of played for them but it is what it is.
Next week we face
@CheshamFc
away in the league ⚽️
#UptheAth
The game finished 4-2 to the Athletic and it’s fair to say we were worth the victory👏🏻
A double from Captain fantastic Josh, and one each from Reece and Dodds.
Can’t even describe how proud of this team I am👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
#UptheAth
Now that’s a proper team performance👏🏻👏🏻
Got battered 3-0 last week, completely different game today. Made it hard for them to break us down and had arguably the better chances of the game against a very organised and technical young team🙌🏻
Last few weeks have been poor
(1/2)
Great game today against
@HintonFC3
a real battle and a fantastic battle💪🏻
Far from our best, 2-0 down again at half time although maybe didn’t deserve to be. 2nd half we went up a gear and managed to grind out 2 goals to see us onto ET & Pens.
7-6 to the Athletic… again!
We are Very Happy to announce that we are Officially a F.A. Charter Standard Football Club.
This means our Club "can be proud to be the best place for people to play and enjoy football."
