Peckham Town FC - news and discussion

[scousedom]

No, it was in Dartford, where a strange chemical smell persisted in the air. Nice little ground though.

That’ll be the burning horses.

 

[pompeydunc]

Is it no longer the place with the horses?

Welling Park now play at the ground with the horses, which is Cray Wanderers old ground and also doubles up as a Tory club (so BYO instead).

Thanks for the pics and the match report! What's happened to Red Velvet then ... sounds like the clubs merged but not many RV players went across, given their results so far?

Four or five went across, but perhaps the weaker ones? I see that RV's captain, Red Jenkins, has moved to the new club though. The better players have moved up divisions apparently. Kent United are (at least) 75% owned by former DHST Board member - Matt Purser - who bought the assets of defunct Kent Football United and 'merged' (took over) Red Velvet's place in the league. RV have gone back to being in the Bromley & South London league and Sunday football.

In other KCFL news, Crockenhill have started their new season with a 4-1 home defeat. Could they make it there relegations in three seasons?

Thanks pompeydunc - was Red Jenkins the archvillain (number 8) who was chuntering at the 2-2 away draw, and then came over to the Peckham fans to say thanks for making the trip to watch the game?

I don't remember that. I don't think he was the archvillain though, as his eyes are spaced apart proportionately with the rest of his face.

Match off tomorrow... Which saves me a decision as I was tempted to skip the delights of the FA Cup for this.

Oh no. That's a real fucking bummer.

 

[Bugpowder Dust]

Oh no. That's a real fucking bummer.

From other tweets I've seen it is due to some sort of problem with the clubhouse. And instead of the scheduled league match they are playing a intra-club friendly on the main pitch at 2pm, free entry.

The women’s team still have a friendly game kicking off at 10:30 am at Pynners Close. We’re playing Goal Diggers.

Alternative to Hendon friendly. £4 to get in. Great little ground. Not to be missed, if not been before.

Can only be an improvement on last year’s tenants.

"Let's have a chat after the game"

Lol.

 

[editor]

Well, on the positive side, we didn't get a player sent off (although it very much looked like that might happen at one point), but we squandered plenty of opportunities and left the field 0-2 down.

 

[Paula_G]

First win of the season for the Peckham Feminista. Went 2-0 down inside ten minutes but showed strength and resilience to fight back for a 4-2 victory.

Peckham Town Women continue to climb the table with a stonking 6-2 against Camden Town Yellows in the LWSFL Division One. Waiting for the official update up think we’re up to second spot behind new leaders Franchester United. Our next game is against Tooting Bec in a fortnight’s time.

After an enthralling 3-3 draw, Peckham lost the penalty shoot out 4-5 in front of 180 people. Damn.

Nevertheless, it was an exciting contest and Peckham deserve great credit for taking it to the wire against a higher division club. (London Senior Trophy 1st Round, against Clapton of the Eastern Counties League South Division, who were the Isthmian League's last continuous serving members when they dropped out in 2006.)

Indeed. They played superbly well.

The “other” Clapton! If anyone fancies a diversión the two Clapton sides are in opposition on Tuesday 17th October at the Old Spotted Dogs - you can get tickets here

A little shaky at the back still. Higher league opposition and all but… someone needs to take charge and hoof the fucker clear at times, clear the danger.

I agree with your comment about the opponent's bench, and they took my pissing about in good humour.

Seemed like a really nice bunch.
