FA TROPHY SEMI-FINAL 1st Leg Att: 2384 Sutton United – 1 [Winston 4] Kingstonian – 1 [Harris 78] Well, we’d waited all week for it and when it arrived, we spent most of it shitting ourselves. We’re a strange bunch eh? I for one wasn’t confident how this one would go. Some felt […]

Treasure Island It Ain’t!
FA TROPHY 3rd ROUND Att: 719 SUTTON UNITED – 1 [Winston 4] CANVEY ISLAND – 0 After the U’s recent disappointing Conference form, I think it’s fair to say we weren’t exactly chuffed to be paired with Ryman Premier side Canvey in the Trophy. Currently sitting in the top 6 of our former home and […]
