The whole Ashford team performed on the day but a couple of players stood out. Steve Harrison was deadly up front scoring 4 goals and Darren Claydon took one for the team during a sterling defensive performance. The other scorers were Niall Lawless, Richard Andrew, John Carter, Ashley Reynolds, John Turnbull and Alex Wall.
Despite talk of the contrary, veteran player/manager Tony Kennedy did make a cameo appearance, setting up a couple of goals. Later, whilst recovering in hospital, he was reported as saying, “I’ve still got it”. A fine evening’s entertainment was rounded off with a drinks/buffet reception in the players’ lounge. Our thanks go to Crystal Palace Football Club who were tremendous hosts especially allowing us to use the pitch before their season had finished!
... And I thought Daz was supposed to keep your whites bright but not by the looks of that shiner!
Well done Dazzy!
By all accounts it was a fearless performance at the back!
