The reserves kick off the new season this coming weekend with an away trip across the river to Walthamstow to play Hackney. The league welcomes five new teams this season; Carshalton Athletic Ebbsfleet, Maidstone United, Sporting London E Benfica and Tooting Bec.

 “The league is wide open this year with a lot of new teams joining. We are all aware that we need to step up a level after a disappointing season last year if we are to challenge at the top of the league but that is our goal” says new manager Ben Perryman. 

The reserves have welcomed back many familiar faces but have also added a few new faces as we look to push up the league this year. 

“We’re delighted to keep much of the squad together and build on last year but it was important we added a bit more depth as we struggled last year with injuries and availability. We are really excited to see the new signings bring their quality on the pitch”.

After Hackney this coming weekend, the Reserves have back to back home fixtures against Tooting Bec (23rd) and Maidstone United (30th) at the Training Ground that kick off at 13.30 so do come down to cheer them on!
