Men's Southern League Division 4 (W) Match 5, Carshalton

Southern League - up we go

Having come out of the LICC and gone back to the Southern League, it's been a struggle to get out of the bottom division - not everyone wants to come and compete at division four level! But after a couple of seasons we've done it. Let's hope we can attract a little more middle distance interest in 2010 when we move into division three.

On this occasion we couldn't manage a win as Epsom & Ewell turned out a very much stronger team than usual in a bid to join us in the next division. Their efforts were rewarded but the Bels nevertheless finished seven points clear at the top of the division with four match wins and a second place.
