BCFC II 1 Barnet Galaxy 5
Ok the scoreline isn't pretty but this match was never about the result. BCFC II managing to get a team out was something of a miracle and with 7 new players on show this match was never more than a friendly.
The new players were
4 from last years N.L.O III Joe, Levi and Kerry who we all know and there mate Shaun who played very well !
Darrell a mate of mine from work and Nicky Savage an ex St James boy plus a young lad called Dean Francis who says he was with St Andrews Youth last year
Darrell (above) played the whole game at right-back
BCFC II started the game the better team and took the lead when new guy Shaun finished well inside the box, Galaxy equalised on 35 minutes when one of there players went through 3-4 of our defenders like a knife through butter to set up his team mate for an easy score, now i could give a detailed analysis of the rest of the game but it'd be pointless ,all the other 4 goals were conceded due to the following reason
We were all unfit compared to a team of 22/23 year olds who had the advantage of having done abit of training recently and have not subjected there bodies to excessive amounts of alchohol over the the last 10-15 years , don't get me wrong Galaxy played well and will do well (top 4 anyway in div 4) i'd say this year but we know what we can do once we get going ie punch above our weight in a div 2 which is gonna be very competitive
If one of our regular defenders miss's a tackle in a pre season friendly i'm not gonna lose any sleep because i know that these same players will produce when the goods when the chips are down !
Joe Amponsah (pictured Below) and Co coming back will help us greatly as we have being lacking speed since he left 18 months ago

Just a quick few words about our squad for next year !
We have also signed Mole (big Alan Harvey) who'll be there in 2 weeks which will stengthen our defence and Nicky Harman who is now nearing 38 but still one of the best defenders in that division II will also return in 2 weeks.
Sean Mcnulty is up for this year and Danny is taking his son jake to football some sundays but still wants to stay involved, and Kev King , Willy , Paul Wright and Paul Mcloughlin will be there next week whilst Kev Mcloughlin says he will start the season for us if needed !
Fair play to Kerry (pictured above) who showed some nice touches up front and all the other lads who played there first game yesterday.
In short BCFC II for next season is gonna be a bit of an unknown quantity, no team in the Hendon League can have so many players in there mid to late 30's but we are a well run solid outfit who seem to play better against the better teams whilst struggling against the less fancied teams
Lets give it a go for 2007/08 and try to be positive , who knows like in 2004/05 we might surpise a few people and though a division title and Middlesex County Cup like we managed in 2005 would be shock a decent league campaign and a run in the Presidents Cup is not beyond us !
The season starts next sunday againsts Highgate Albion 2nds at our new home ground West Hendon playing fields , Goldsmith Ave , NW9 K.O 11am ,meet at 10.30am
see you then ...............................
