Upcoming fixture Sunday 28th March 2010

Chawton Athletic return to action this Sunday, 28th March, as they take on AFC Wanderers in a friendly at Binsted.

Wanderers had got the better of Athletic in their first meeting at Broadwater School, running out winners 6-2 in a far closer contest than the scoreline suggests.  However, Athletic took revenge 4-2 in the tie at Binsted, so it promises to be a closely fought affair once again.

Wanderers have taken 3rd spot in the Farnham and District Sunday league and sit just 1 and 2 points behind CSL Hartley Wintney and Lindford respectively, albeit having played three games more.

Another victory at the weekend, 3-1 against the Royal Exchange, has seen them move onto 19 points and has also pushed their goal difference into the positive.  Athletic are still holding position in 7th on 10 points, with 3 wins and a draw from their 11 fixtures so far.

Injury News - Si P is still nursing a damaged knee and is likely to be missing from the football field for another 2 weeks, Scott D seems more likely to return from the ankle injury that has kept him out for several weeks.

Still awaiting availabilities, but am hopeful as ever that we will have a full compliment and that as a friendly we will be able to make as many substitutions as we like, but this is to be clarified with the referee on the day.

As per usual for home games - it is a 9:30am sharp meet at Binsted as there are the nets and flags to do. Also there are jobs to do after every home game; so please don't all rush off and leave it to the same few people.
