North Romford, hit by a depleted squad went down 5-1 to their rivals but put in a spirited performance.

With 5 players not available and four injured, NRFC went into the game with a heavily depleted squad so the battling performance that the team gave has to be commended. It also has to be said that the 5-1 scoreline was a bit of a harsh in the context of the game.

Lonsdale have always been seen as great rivals to NRFC so this defeat is a bitter pill to swallow, especially taken into account that they have had a disastrous start to the season and should have posed no threat at all.
The NRFC goal came when a ball in from the right found Spicy with a defender close by him, and as the ball bounced up he lobbed it over the keepers head and into the back of the net.

A special thanks has to go to the boys who played with injuries and those who came over at the last minute to help us out (Glynno & Tim Cordelli).

Its a shame we never seem to get the luck other teams get in calling games off when we have so few players available, but i guess that's football.
We need to put this one behind us and pick ourselves up for the next game.
