The long trip to Crawley brought out the best from our Farnham Academy squad players.

Very boggy ground and bright sunshine resulted in a mud bath, but great spectacle for those that traveled to support. Crawley was under-powered and so to enable everyone to play the 15-a side match for the fun of all we regularly rotated two Farnham players. The Crawley coach was impressed that our lads “played as well for them as they did for us”.

Traction under foot and handling the heavy muddy ball was tricky, nevertheless our boys scored regularly from all over the pitch and just about stuck to the pre-game objectives. Crawley mounted a second half onslaught, however the relentless Farnham defence stood firm.

Crawley 0 – Farnham Academy Bs 41

Great job lads.
