Like the under-18s a couple of days earlier, the reserves were also playing their first game for over the month. They made the long trip to Surrey to face league leaders Abbey Rangers, and were unlucky to come away with a 2-1 defeat. Ollie Lawford scored the goal.

Res beaten 8-1 by a very good @fc_abbeyrangers res today, outplayed, out thought and out muscled, but these young boys will learn a lot from today, we are not like other teams and only tweet when we are winning, we learn and put it right at ring next week.
