FOOTBALL: Our final friendly of the season saw The Bridge lose 5-0 at Burwash but despite losing most of the friendlies it did give the managers a chance to see the new players who have signed this season. Last Sunday, in what can only be described as miserable conditions, The Bridge played in the semi-final of the Cooper Cup Cricket and beat Dr. Fonda to reach the final against The George and as the rain persisted through the afternoon it was a credit to both teams to stay out in the middle of the cricket ground and make sure the game was finished. We batted first and reached 86-7 from our allotted 12 overs and in reply The George made a solid start but the middle order collapsed and it went down to the last over and indeed the last ball with The George needing two runs but could only manage one so the match was tied with both teams sharing the trophy. The Bridge start their season with a ‘double header’ at Tilekiln against St.Leonards Social with the 1st team kicking-off at 2p.m. and the 2nd team at 4p.m. Do you fancy an evening of fun then why not come to Robertsbridge Club on Saturday 13th October 2018 when we will be holding a ‘Race Night’ from 7p.m. This is a FREE EVENT and open to everybody to join us see mainly horses, but there could be other animals as well, race around the track. You don’t have to bet just come and have some fun.
