Reserves tonight

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I'm going to watch the Reserves at Horsham YMCA tonight in the Sussex Senior Cup. Anyone else going ?

I played for YM for over 10 years so I guess I have devided loyalties. I see Hawkins, Sullivan, McLeod and Hinsh are all playing.

I might have been interested if the game were at Lewes, and Real Madrid weren't playing tonight. But we're not, and they are, so.

One of my old mates is playing for Horsham tonight, he moved there from Burgess Hill earlier in the season. From what I gather he is buzzing about the game, as when he played against the Albion in pre season for BH, he had quite a good game.

Look out for him, his name is Neil Watts. Very tidy little player, made over 100 apps for the Hillians

Small point - it's Horsham YMCA - NOT Horsham.

I'll look out for Watts - I've seen YM a few times this season - Brighton reserves really shouldn't have too many problems. Virgo's brother plays for YM now, but is out - I believe he has has a heart operation.

Keep your eyes open for any of the managerial candidates!

Do you have to be a Christian to play for YMCA?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

No, only a really good player.

 

[Hove Lagoonery]

though you say it yourself.....

Is it true Gorings Mead and HFC(Queen St?) were the two closest enclosed grounds in Britain?

 

[Brightonfan1983]

No, only a really good player.

Explains why I never even got into their reserve squad!

I trained with them for a bit back in 93/94, John...... someone was the manager. When were you there?

Yes this is true, if you looked over one of the stands at Horsham's ground you could see Horsham YMCA's game going on at the same time.

Albion won 2-0

Hawkins and Hinch both went off injured.

It was an enjoyable detour into the backwaters of football.

Unfortunately Colin Hawkins only lasted about 15 minutes... and went off with what looked like a strain in the groinal area.

And Hinsh went off in the 2nd half with what looked like a calf strain. But either diagnosis could be wide of the mark!

It was a fairly even contest... with Kevin McLeod being the standout quality player - but he didn't actually do a lot - but did score the first with a nicely controlled finish. Dunk looked particularly solid at the back, and Kane Louis and Thomson (number 14?) looking skilful upfront.

Also good to see Tommy Fraser and Adam Virgo in the crowd... and the rather enjoyable and loud bloke behind the goal!

Who scored?

 

[BensGrandad]

Who scored as it seems unlikly that we have got some goal scorers in the reserves who dont make the first team now that Robinson and Gatting have gone.

McLeod and Thomson.

McLeod and Thomson.

Who's Thomson?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Keep him a secret, he's actually quite good, and coming through the youth ranks.

 

[Jim D]

Did'nt Thomson play in the reserves as a 14-year-old last year?
