I’ve hardly caught my breath after the finest game of football I’ve seen this year and probably the best game in Surrey since Barrow Hedges Primary School demolished bitter local rivals Stanley Park in 1977, a certain S. Fuller scoring both goals.
Saturday's game saw Leatherhead beat Dulwich Hamlet 4-3 in the Ryman One South play-off final after extra time. There was plenty of interest for Carshalton fans; ex-players on show included Lewis Gonsalves, Chippy Carpenter, Junior Kadi, Jack MacLeod and Gary Drewett (who scored twice); in the crowd were ex-managers Hayden Bird and Dave Garland as well as present dof/owner/manager Paul Dipre.
Dulwich will be gutted having been 3-1 up with minutes to play but once Drewett had been substituted Hamlet never looked like scoring and the Tanners rode the momentum into the Premier. Congratulations to both sides for putting on such a good show; the Zyklusgruppen are happy as the ride to Leatherhead is infinitely more pleasant compared to the slog through south London to "Champion" Hill.
Anyway, onto Robins business. This blog was originally conceived several months ago primarily as a vehicle for Peter Randall’s excellent match reports but I also wanted to be able to maintain the stats for the season that I know many Robins followers like to see.
49 players made an appearance for the first team in 2010-11 and special mention should be made to Craig Ross for his ever-present record this season.
Top of the goal scoring charts was Bryon Harrison with 14 in all competitions, remarkable since he left in January, but in second place was Joel Ledgister who also led the league goals table with 11 goals. No other Carshalton player got near double-figures. I've also included stats for assists (basically a subjective view but one based on a pass / cross / dribble / pointless hump forward that somehow ends with a goal), and it's no surprise to see Chris Henry and Joel Ledgister top of that category, followed by the Genius himself, Tommy Williams.
Finally, the Robins’ Repository player of the season award goes to Craig Ross for being the last player left in the bar after the last home game. Good effort fella!
Have a good summer and look back here for occasional close-season musings.
