U18S FOOTBALL: The U18s match on March 8 saw them loose against Pevensey and Westham, 7-0. It was anticipated that this was going to be a tough match and the loss of their captain through injury, with a pulled hamstring, was an added blow. I am told that the defence held firm and didn’t concede as many goals as other teams have done. This is a major positive to take from the game.
