SHROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT

Might seem an odd title for an item. It refers to Robin Shroot an excellent young player for Wimbledon who scored a hat-trick in our 4-1 demolition of play off rivals Ashford Town Middlesex on Saturday. To cap an excellent weekend for young Robin he then scored a goal at Womble Stadium no less yesterday. Why were Wimbledon at Wembley you might ask? (if you care) the answer being we were invited to play Corinthian Casuals who were granted a friendly by the Football Association in return for allowing one of the lounges to be named after them! I am sure they will remember their visit to Wembley since they were trounced 8-1 by the Dons. It was a rather good weekend all in all :) At 8-0 up with 20 to go we were pondering what the record margin of victory at Wembley was (it was 9-0 England V Luxembourg) and the creation of another trivia quizz question involving Wimbledon ( who hold the unique record of having a player score 4 goals with his head in a Cup Final at Wembley trivia buffs look up Eddie Reynolds sometime)

Wembley as you might well expect is a victim of rip off Britain where a portion of fish and chips (one mate of mine who had it could not be more specific about the type of fish either !) is £8.00 and a pint of beer is £3.50 a programme coming in at a bargain £5.00. How I miss playing in the top flight so much !

Now onto cheering Folkestone tonight (they are playing our most likely rivals for 2nd place) before easing back to Wimbledon on Saturday in their last home league game of the season against Harlow Town.

Meanwhile is a small non city about 70 miles north the cuckoo's in the nest who stole our league place were denied promotion for at least another week :) Of course the inevitable will probably happen this week but it would be most satisfying if they failed to win the 4th Division (that's its real name oh franny fans) and if they failed to beat our record points total 25 years ago of 98 points. If they want to see the trophy they are most welcome to pop down to its rightful home in the London Borough of Merton at Morden Library. Now just a matter of getting the Club a ground a mile or two north of our current location so we are in the Borough again (or of course persuading the Councils to change their boundaries :) )
