is it the same guy as last season?

It is. What I love is knowing there’s potentially another 5-10 years of this, he seems quite young. Maybe that’s a line to discuss with him next game… “You just going to ignore us until 2030 Jack?”

Fabulous 1-0 cup win today over the team with the league's most stressed out keeper, Red Velvet!

Really really enjoyed that full time whistle. Very tense towards the end there.

One of those games where it felt so much more was at stake. The recent run of three wins after the poor start has been encouraging, but to then have to put that streak on the line against last year’s runaway league champions, and in a Cup game, was always going to be tough. And it was a really hard game, some brutal tackles and some periods where they dominated. But to come out with the win really makes you think we can keep on going and moving up the league, whereas a loss might have really dented the confidence that’s being built back up.

Any one of the Peckham players could have been King of the Match, it was a real combined effort, but I was really happy to see Camilo score - a great goal too - and put a bit of end product onto the trickery he’s displayed so far.

Finally, Red Velvet are universally unpleasant.

Well, this is nice!

So, you want to start your own football club, you need players; what’s your first step? Set up a twitter account? A Facebook group? Post on Reddit? Well, in 1982, 13-year-old Bryan Hall didn’t have those options. But he did have a marker pen, and a piece of paper. So he opted for the most social of media available at the time and stuck a poster on a tree in Peckham Rye Park advertising for players.

Four people showed up for the first session. A few more for the next, then eventually they had enough for a team. Next challenge? Getting into a league. Not easily done when you’re a 13-year-old, but after some persistent phone calls, young Bryan wore the Football Association down, and they allowed his team into the Mercury Under 14s League.

Now he just needed a kit. Step forward Hall’s Auntie, who dragged him to Walthamstow Market to pick out the material, and then enlisted the residents of the old people’s home she worked at to help stitch it together. Hall’s football club was ready to play… unfortunately their opponents were a little more ready… Hall and his mates were beaten 18-0.

It was one hell of a tough match for Peckham on Saturday as they took on the league’s strongest team, Red Velvet, in the second round of the (deep breath) Bill Manklow Inter-Regional Challen…

That’s a polite way of putting it.

They made Red Velvet seem like a gang of thoroughly decent chaps.

Great result for Peckham Town Women as we defeated LFA Hotshots 3-0

 

[Paula_G]

This was our first win for the revived Women’s team. The way this team was gone from strength to strength since the start of last season when we were lost our first three games 19-0, 12-0 and 14-1. Genuinely believe that having a Peckham Town Women’s team back in the football pyramid cannot be too far away though whether this old body keeps going long enough to still be playing then you never know

Up to third spot in the Clapham Women's Saturday Football League!

 

[editor]

Rarely have I seen a team snatch total victory into a humiliating defeat so succinctly as Peckham Town today.
After totally and utterly dominating the game, scoring two goals and hitting the post twice, the team managed to conceded tree goals in about 12 minutes, starting off with a ridiculous own goal.

Ten em bee couldn't believe their luck.

Meanwhile down in Tooting the Menace Feminista made it back to back wins (and clean sheets) with a confident victory over Lambeth All Stars. Goals from Issy de Cala & Liv Zuccherato secured three points and cemented Peckham’s third spot in the division.

Some wonderful goals today as Peckham thumped Kings Hill 4-0, with added lolz courtesy of the weirdo ref who has a 'thing' about fans standing behind the goal.

Nice write up here, with links to the four goals. Recommend having a gander at the second in particular.

That’s Cray‘s current ground at Hayes Lane, Bromley, though it could technically be regarded as an “old” ground given it’s been done up by Bromley in recent years with a lot of those features lost. Today was at Oxford Road which I believe once laid claim to being the oldest football ground in the world?

We got royally tonked 1-5 today. The hosts were as charming as usual.

Meanwhile down at Tooting Bec Peckham Town Women continued their winning streak coming back from conceding an early goal to beat South London Laces. After yours truly was beaten by a high cross that caught the wind & swirled in we struggled to break down a tough opposition before equalising moments before half time as debutant Hiorrany Delfino’s corner deceived the keeper and found the net. Peckham upped the tempo after the break adding five further goals for a convincing 6-1 victory. Hiorrany added two more to complete a hat trick with Beth Gil, Jess Paver and Sophie Rabas claiming the other goals
