Amersham & Chalfont caused a minor blip in the Dirty 2s 2008/09 campaign, rudely interrupting our 5 game winning streak by jagging a fortuitous goal in the dying seconds of the game having been outclassed and outplayed all over the park for the previous 34 minutes and 50 seconds.

Reading travelled to dirty Maidenhead fired up to avenge last season’s ‘defeat’ and er…defeat.
On a wet and blustery day there was much joviality amongst the Dirty 2s about flooded pitches, hilarious one-liners about illegal players and even a ceremonial lining up of stick & kit bags for inspection by Maidenhead should they need to find [...]

A mixed 2s side made up of old familiar faces and a few new ones headed confidently out to face Wallingford in the first league match of the season.
A nervous start saw us concede two goals within the first 15 minutes as we tried to get used to new players & position – in hindsight [...]
