Coca Cola League 1 16th & 17th Dec
The thought of getting up at around 7.30am tomorrow is too much for me. I'll settle for Lordwood v Greenwich in the Kent League instead.
. Their home record is 5-2-3-18-12 with their last 5 being 4-1-0-12-4, & theyre unbeaten in 7 in the league, including a creditable 1-1 draw at Swansea last week. Of the 9 wins, theyve won 8 by 1 goal
