Tanners 1 - 1 Tooting & Mitcham

A hard fought draw against a side that, judging by the amount of cramp they suffer from, are in desperate need of salt tablets.

Now, I missed the first half on account of turning on the Christmas Lights in the Swan Centre but I understand a nasty foul saw the visitors go down to ten men.

This brought on the worst case of time wasting I have ever seen as players went down with cramp and injury every five minutes.  They mustered enough strength to fire away a long range effort that beat our new 'keeper and went 1-0 up.

Leatherhead threw everything at them and their goal led a charmed life as goal bound headers struck the backs of unaware defenders.  It didn't seem to be our day.

Then a moment of magic when a loft ball to the top of the box was cushioned into the path of Tarpey who cooly finished to make it 1-1.   Limbs.

A game we could have easily lost resulted in a point.  Not enough to put send us up the table but keeps us away from danger.

Tooting & Mitcham are coming

Old rivalries are rekindled today with the visit of Tooting & Mitcham.

Our guests find themselves in the relegation zone but while we look to be breaking free, inconsistency is our biggest problem.

Kick off at 3pm.  See you there!
