Last weekend was the last of the serious action for 2008 (on the pitch not the dance floor). The men made a surprising start to their Indoor campaign losing 4-5 to Bourneville, the Midlanders only victory. They soon put this right however with a thumping 13-4 defeat of Havant and a 9-3 defeat of Beeston [...]
Reading Vets v Haslemere (away) 13th December 2008 Oh well, good job it was a Friendly! Yesterday the Veterans lost to Haslemere 5:3 in the pouring rain. They actually probably had more of the ball, but some poor defending lead to their downfall. Haslemere scored twice in the first 10 minutes, but the Vets settled [...]

With a few Shrek plasters for luck, a high spirited 3′s team took on Gerrards Cross and won! Early pressure from GC’s ‘smash it and see’ tactics were seen off by the 3′s defence and midfield. It wasn’t long before Bev B opened the scoring with a sweep from the P spot and then scored [...]
Wessex Supervets Fixtures Alliance League 10th League game: 6th December – Guildford Gondoliers 1: Reading Veterans 3. Reading continued their unbeaten run thanks to goals from Ada Robertson(from another short corner!) and 2 from Peter George-Jones.
