Youth team away at Colchester

[Supersub6]

The Under 18s travelled to Colchester today for their second league game of the season. After going a goal behind after 35 minutes we equalised right on half time through Michael Fowler. We took the lead through our second half substitute Rhys Fenlonand ran out winners 2-1 making that two wins in two matches. Well done lads.

Did you go sub, it's your side of the country ?

The last time I went to Colchester was 1 September 2007 when we beat them 3-2 with goals from Alan Mahon and Andy Gray 2. I was down at one of my sons in East Dulwich and travelled across from there and came home more than happy!
I think that driving from here today was just a bit too much for a youth match, although, back in the day............

Used to live in East Dulwich over 30 years ago, Worlingham Road just off Goose Green, small world.

My son lived in Underhill Road for quite a few years but he moved to Sheffield which is where his wife, a GP, did her training, although she comes from Rayners Lane!

Used to use Underhill Road leading up to Camberwell Cemetery a lot when I was a Driving Instructor.

The last and only time I've been to Colchester Ian Wright was playing for us, and Mitchel Thomas was playing centre-half and teaching Graham Branch how to play full-back at the same time, without much success. After the game Wrighty claimed the Colchester fans had racially abused him, well maybe they had, but I never heard anything.

I remember that game sinkov. I think we won 1-0? When Wrighty came on as a substitute, I distinctly remember the Colchester fans applauding him! Funny old thing is the memory!
