As ever, the annual Anthony Fitzgerald Cup was a huge success. For a change, the Weather Gods were on our side and all that the players and officials had to deal with was a bit of fog, rather than the usual sub zero temperatures and/or horizontal rain. The game itself was a huge tribute to both teams who, despite not …

A fine second half performance from Blackheath giving them to back-to-back home wins to maintain fifth place in National League One prior to the Christmas break, but kept honest by a Stortford side who never gave up and pushed hard to the end. On a damp, blustery December afternoon, Tom Ffitch gave Blackheath a three-point start for not rolling, but …
