The season began with a game against a highly rated Chigwell side - unbeaten in twelve seasons. Pre-seasonal hopes seemed justified when Matthew Baker uncharac­ teristically hit the target from 15 yards. However, Chigwell scored just before half-time, morale dropped, and we ended up victims of a some- what heavy defeat Bad weather and unfortunate passing from the kick-off (by the aforementioned goal scorer) continued a losing run. A draw against Hailey- bury was swiftly followed by the defeat of five teams, namely K.C.S., U.C.S., Wilson’s City of London, and Dulwich.
