A Millwall XI are coming to the Grove on Friday 08 August. This is a hastily arranged friendly after they were let down but will be a repeat of a fixture we have held many times in the past.
This could be a chance for Wardy, an keen Arsenal fan, to come to the ground and punch me on the nose.

From the Surrey Herald
STAINES TOWN manager Steve Cordery is challenging Marc Charles-Smith to step out of the shadows of his former strike partner Mark Nwokeji.
Cordery believes Charles-Smith, who became Swans' most expensive signing last September when he was signed from Leatherhead, can follow in Nwokeji's golden bootsteps next season.

By Simon Fitzjohn of The Local Guardian
Leatherhead boss Ian Hazel expects new assistant manager Mickey Stephens to have an instant impact at the club. Stephens stepped into the role after former assistant Stuart Massey departed to take over the reins at Whyteleafe.
And Tanners supremo Hazel has high hopes for his new partner.
He said: "Mickey was Matt Le Rosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01290111209916016351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584658.post-19350327069695658092008-05-24T15:54:00.002Z2008-05-30T09:11:02.795ZLetherhead Youth 8 - 1 Tonbridge Angels
The double is theirs! The task at hand was clear, they had to win by seven clear goals. A 7-0 win may not have been enough though as that would put both sides on identical goals scored, conceded AND the same 2-1 home wins... it was difficult to separate us!

If the Youth team are to have any chance of winning the double then they are going to have to put seven goals past Tonbridge this Saturday after they lose at Croydon Athletic last night.
The away side lost 2-1 while Staines extended their advantage by beating Worthing 6-2 to make it a more comfortable goal difference.

Tonight see the Tanners Youth travel to Croydon Athletic for their penultimate game of the season. It is an early one too with kick-off at 7pm.
It will a tense night for the team and all associated with the Youth as Staines, level on points, play their last game against Worthing.

The Youth Team could go a long way to securing the league title with a win tonight against midtable Worthing. By my reckoning the high flying team need seven points from their last four games to ensure the double comes to the Grove.

Lovely afternoon of football with not a yellow card in sight. These young Tanners are a credit to their managers and the club, not to mention their families and friends who were out in force - there were just shy of 300 at the Grove. That must have included a few from Boreham Wood ... but not many judging from the roars when the Tanners scored Matt Le Rosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01290111209916016351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584658.post-29749127951771672152008-05-05T08:25:00.000Z2008-05-05T08:29:25.900ZThe Final
Boreham Wood's Youth come to the Grove to battle out the league cup final. Leatherhead Youth have the chance to win the double after a successful year which has kept the majority of Tanner fans sane.

Leatherhead will be spared a trip to the bogey ground of Tooting as they edge out Cray who suffer play-off disappointment yet again. Meanwhile in the Ryman Premier, it will be AFC Wimbledon who edge up the pyramid with a 2-1 win over MCS' Staines.

The battle cry has gone up from the Ks that they need numbers to out cheer our "orrible lot" in the vital youth game tonight.
The game will be played at Cobham FC.
