After
a very disappointing postponement of the league match on the day before, this
game was very much in doubt. Thankfully, the FFC groundsman relented and FDFC
were able to welcome the Nottingham Deaf team to MotspurPark
for the first time in their history.
Vorster,
who broke the highest appearance record in gaining his 152nd appearance,
had to be drafted in goal due to Robert's shoulder injury and with other
goalkeepers unavailable. The back three consisted of McDougall, Captain Evans
and Harding (who claimed his 49th appearance for FDFC- one away from
50!), while Bovino was named as the anchor man behind Burns and Gregory with
both Hogan and Monksfield playing on the flanks. Ailey and Willis were tasked
with scoring the goals to take FDFC through into the semi-finals.

At long last, the poor weather relented enough to allow the
league game against Westside FC to go, much to the delight of all in the FDFC
camp! But before going further, Fulham Deaf FC would like to wish you (readers)
all a very Happy Belated Happy New Year! It had been seven weeks since Fulham
Deaf last played a match (against Yourstory, back on Dec 12th).
Since then, several postponements due to bad weather had resulted in a long
wait for the thaw to come.
In the knowledge that a victory over Westside would
maintain the pressure on league leaders AFC Cubo and fellow unbeaten side
Caterham Old Boys. All squad players greeted each other in the Earl Beatty pub
for a team talk due to two Academy matches being played earlier on at the
training ground.

Fulham Deaf FC travelled to Yourstory FC in search of a win
that would keep the pressure on league runners AFC Cubo. The Gaffer in the
build up explained to the team that we should not take Your Story lightly
despite their lowly league position, as they had been scoring for fun, scoring
an average of more than two goals a game. They had also previously beaten Cheam
Village Warrirors FC, putting four past them in the process, and this was a
team that had held Fulham Deaf FC to a hard fought 0-0 draw.
The team was also
reminded that this 0-0 draw was based at the same venue and the Gaffer recalled
that we had difficulties coming to terms with the slope and the tough
conditions and demanded that armed with this knowledge, we should be better
prepared. The Gaffer then expressed his disappointment that this was also the
last time that Fulham Deaf had kept a clean sheet, a run of five games and told
the team of his expectation that this unwanted run should end.

On a unsettled day at Motspur Park, FDFC welcomed Ashtead to resume our
league campaign after last week's cup victory over Nutfield.
Interestingly enough, we would be playing Ashtead for the third and
last time season, following league (away) and cup victories over them.
The
Gaffer, welcoming back Ironside, who was donned in his new 'generously
fitting' FDFC management top, opted for a 3-5-2 formation, with
returning captain Evans reinstalled into the heart of defence alongside
Lampert and Harding. The midfield was made up of Swift and Willis on
the left and right flanks respectively, with Bovino playing a deep
anchor role to allow Burns and Sellers the opportunity to dictate the
play. The two Daniels (Hogan and Ailey) were put upfront for today's
game.

FDFC's star Daniel Simmonds
put in a brilliant debut performance in the film Dead Money, which was
written and directed by former FDFC star (2003-2006) Bim Ajadi. 1st
team player Pafe Mike Palata was also an extra in the poker scenes.

It was a massive relief to play last Saturday against
Nutfield in the Senior League Cup 2nd round match, after a series of
downpours threatened to postpone this match. FDFC played against Nutfield for
the first time earlier in the season in a hard-fought 1 – 1 draw.
Given Nutfield's abilities in that first match, it
could be understood why the Gaffer was reaching for the beta-blockers again
once he had found out that his right-hand man, 'Ironside' Beedie, as well as
club captain Evans and midfielder Nick Gregory, had gone off to Cardiff to watch Wales
get hammered by the Aussies. To top things off, Moore
was also absent, due to a romantic break in Madrid with his girlfriend, taking in sights
such as the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid's stadium (Casanova, eat your heart
out). These absences as well as those of a few others, meant that FDFC's squad
was less than full strength, so the Gaffer had to make do with his available
players once again.

Finally the weather was kind to us after we had a match postponement
last week due to a waterlogged pitch. FDFC were relishing the challenge to play
against Tongham who are two divisions above FDFC featuring in the Surrey Elite
Intermediate League and are currently in 4th position of the Elite
league. They are based in Tongham near Farnham, Surrey
and were established in 1922. They joined the Combined Counties Football League
Division One in 2005 and resigned from the Combined Counties League to join
Surrey Elite Intermediate League. Tongham players were welcomed at the FFC
Training Ground.
