The local grassroots football matches which I will be attending in London this weekend:

Civil Service versus Wandsworth Borough:

My game for this Saturday, Civil Service’s first team will face Wandsworth Borough for the second time already this season in the SAL Senior Division 1 at King’s House Sports Ground this afternoon (kick-off is at 2pm). Following their eventful 6-4 win over Staines & Lammas (Middlesex) in the quarter-finals of the Middlesex FA Premier Cup on Tuesday, Civil Service’s first team (they start this game in fourth place in the league table) return to SAL Senior Division 1 action with what should be a competitive game against a good Wandsworth Borough side, who are in eighth place in the league standings.

Civil Service have made a strong start to this season. And ahead of two cup matches for the next two Saturdays, the west London club will be looking to remain as contenders for the SAL Senior Division 1 title after a 4-2 loss to Nottsborough last Saturday. And although they have already beaten Wandsworth Borough in the league this season, they know that this will be another tough game in this quality amateur football league.

Yeni Bogazici versus East London Ballers Reserves:

On Sunday I will be travelling to Chigwell, for an early afternoon kick-off between a Yeni Bogazici side (Division One of the Essex Sunday Corinthian Football League) who have a 100% record in all competitions so far this season, and a talented Division Two side in East London Ballers Reserves, in a first round tie of the West Essex Sunday Charity Cup. What an outstanding start to the season from Yeni Bogazici, a very good side who I definitely think will continue to really challenge for silverware this season. Looking to cause an upset tomorrow are an East London Ballers Reserves side who play some fantastic football, and who certainly know how to compete and defeat sides from a higher level than them in Sunday football. This will make for a very interesting cup tie.
