Hatfields Battersea League

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

A really good contest, decided in the final 15 minutes. A performance to build upon 👊

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Bomb scares, starting with ten, 3-1 down at HT, 3-3 with minutes left...

It's not an exhaustive list of things that happened but it's most of the things that didn't go well 😩

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

@AaronWhite87 That's fantastic! Well done mate 🙌

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Banter's 18th season began with the biggest opening day win in our history 💥🙌

Well done to everyone on a hard effort 👏

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Another goal-fest and great to see G-Man back between the posts 🙌

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

We will always entertain you 🤝

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Out of the cup 😭💔
Despite that, a brilliant performance from everyone where we deserved a lot more against the runaway champions

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

The less said about the performance, the better 😬

Tino was fantastic between the sticks though. He showed great handling throughout, his distribution was decent and he made a superb save at 0-1 - but we the team couldn't capitalise 👎

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Having created enough chances to forge a decent lead, we managed to find ourselves 0-4 down before pulling it back to almost snatch something 🥴

Beggs with his tenth and eleventh goals of the season and Manny with his fourth 👌

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

A brace for Beggs, hat-trick of assists for Dan, goals in consecutive games for Ish and Ryan, first goals of the season for Leon and Clark, with MOM Chalmers scoring his first goal for the club since April 2019

A complete team performance 👏

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

We were without a recognised goalkeeper and began the opening 15 minutes playing with ten before finally getting on level terms 😬

We were 3-1 down with three minutes left but Ish hit a peach to give hope as Ryan bagged a late equaliser 🩷🙌

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

The first result of 2024 did not go our way - as the champions scored their only shot of the second half with just two minutes left 😭

We were happy with the performance and graft though, with an excellent debut performance from Dan too

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Last night's result in the freezing cold 🥶

Not a game of high quality but a decent DBT strike in the second half sealed it 👏

At least the Christmas drinks were good 🎅🎄

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

@Jimboy_one @chrismann166 @DanWilkes @Gooders221 🤣 I think that's why he had to shoot - couldn't be bothered to run

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

If I saw the Loch Ness Monster making love to a dinosaur, it would be a less rare sighting than a Manny hat-trick

Ryan also scored from about 60 yards. Outrageous scenes

Excellent performances all around and the first clean sheet of the season 🙌

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Last night's result; nowhere near what we wanted but a more positive display than the scoreline suggests

Lots more to do and give. Back on it next week 🚴

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

A pretty chaotic match which sees our GD back to zero after two games 🤦‍♂️😭

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

@SoloHDFan7 All alive and three still playing for the club!

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

Friday nights under the lights gets underway!

Excellent win in our first league game of the new season 🙌

[Banter Central FC @bantercentralfc]

The final game of the season ends all square

We took an early lead but needed to find an equaliser with five minutes left against a much-improved Glendale

Thank-you to all of our players on their efforts this season, it's been a lot of fun 🙌
