The Sunday XI came up trumps earlier today with a phenomenal battling display at Poplar Road as they Hosted Mas Vidas FC.

With our Co Managers David Cecil & Sean Thornton both injured, plus other absentees on the lengthy unavailable list, this was a case of ‘all hands to the pump.’

The Ruts fortunes were thwarted further 15 mins or so in, when Keeper Tom Kearley was dismissed for handling the ball outside of his area.

Despite the odds now being stacked against the Ruts, the lads took the lead courtesy of a terrifically powerful left footed volley courtesy of the influential Alfie Dulley, as he fired home from the edge of the area.

The Visitors levelled shortly before the interval, despite a heavily disputed infringement being waved away in the build up.

In the second half the battling Ruts stuck firmly to their task, and 2 very well taken strikes from the lively Billy Holder wrapped up the 3 points for the OR’s.

Whilst a massive shout out to all of the team is fully deserving, the extra nod must go to James Murphy for his nimble and very competent switch from the outfield to donning the No 1 Gloves.

Well Done Lads!

The 1st XI suffered a 3 – 1 Home defeat against the talented table toppers Richmond & Kew FC.

In the first half hour it showed that 6 weeks had passed since the last Ruts game! A sloppy early goal was conceded before R&K doubled their tally making it 2 – 0 to them at the break.

The Ruts second half performance was much improved, but despite this fact, a fortuitously sliced own goal enabled the score to become 0 – 3. Billy Liffen then scored a cracking goal to reduce to the arrears and that was as good as the OR’s day was to get!

In the absence of our Managers Mappy & Tidey, Stand in Manager Paul Gough gave Will Mortimer the MOTM nod.

The 2nd XI did not have a fixture today.

The jubilant 3rd XI secured a fantastic 1 – 0 at Old Boys Clapham Res FC. Richard Woolland (pictured) was the Ruts scorer and MOTM.

The 4th XI lost 2 -1 at Westside ‘A’ FC. MOTM TBC, Simon Minihane notched the Ruts consolation.

Best Wishes to the Ruts teams playing tomorrow.

The 1st XI’s Match at Ashtead FC was Postponed.

The 2nd XI secured a decent 4 – 3 Win at Colliers Wood Town FC. The Ruts scorers were Kevin Foster (2) Sam Maclean and Paul Whitthread. Foster’s brace helped him secure the MOTM award.

The 3rd XI put in a hardworking shift against high flying Merton Social FC as they lost 3 – 1. Alex Hammond levelled for the OR’s in the first half from a Richard Edmonds Corner. whilst Dan Wallis was the OR’s MOTM.

Injured Manager Christian Cittie stated ‘we battled very hard for 90 minutes and in the final 3rd of the pitch we were lacking creativity and our passing let us down.’

The 4th XI lost 1 – 0 to Real Holmesdale Res FC at Poplar Road, despite creating an abundance of chances, alas the OR’s scoring shooting boots were frustratingly awry.

The 1st XI and 3rd XI Matches were both postponed.

The 2nd XI put in a terrific shift to secure a 4 – 1 Win over NPL’A’ FC in the League Junior Cup.

The visitors went ahead in the 29th minute, only to see Jake Searles fire a cracking Ruts leveller just 2 minutes later after he neatly controlled an exquisite Kevin Foster pass.

TBH I was cold and wet in the second period and only saw good strikes from Kevin Foster, George Tidey and Paul Whitthread from a distance bolt up the Victory.

A Big Shout out to our very young Keeper Harry Savage for a sterling display which deservedly saw him secure the Ruts MOTM Award.

The light numbered 4th XI suffered a miserable away day at Tooting Bec ‘B’ , as they were blown out of the Cup by talented opposition. Final Score 10 – 0.

The Walking Football Team lost 3 – 0 against Thames FC in the morning.

This was a keenly contested affair, which saw the Ruts concede all of the goals in the latter stages of the Match.

Our Gaffer’s gave Rob Hellewell the MOTM nod for some sterling defending.

No best wishes to our Sunday teams this week, as pretty much most of the fixtures have been decimated by the weather!!
