CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 524

SUTTON UNITED - 0
GRAYS ATHLETIC - 6  [Martin 7.15.85. Griffiths 47. Brennan 56. West 59.]

Funny how much difference a week can make eh? Last saturday, another cracking weekend away on the piss, with a vital 3 points at Havant.  This saturday, a shambolic home performance and a complete hammering by the league leaders.

Great.

Round 3, Our Stop...

FA TROPHY 3RD ROUND
Att: 544

SUTTON UNITED - 0
GRAYS ATHLETIC - 2    [Oli 56. Griffiths 72.]

Our further participation was always in the balance once this draw was made. Oppo looking destined to walk the league in the wake of Hornchurch’s problems and on a very good run of form coming into the game. Couple that with our 5-1 tonking at the Rec earlier this season and things don’t look good.

GRAYS ATHLETIC - 5  [Cole 20. Carthy 44. Thurgood p70. Griffiths 85.88.]
SUTTON UNITED - 1  [Watkins 24.]

Having faced 2 Essex sides at home in consecutive Saturdays and got sod all from either game, you can probably guess at our attitude to this trip into our (least) favourite county.

GRAYS ATHELTIC - 3     [Thurgood p17. Youds 45. Williams 84]
SUTTON UNITED - 2    [Quinton 3. Akuamouah 55]

Still grinning like idiots after the small matter of giving the Scummers a right bloody good hiding on Saturday, we made the short trip round the M25 to Grays for our Mew Years Day clash. And this was despite our hangovers from the exertions in the pub the previous evening welcoming 2004.

Full Time What?

SUTTON UNITED - 1    [Bolt 57p]
GRAYS ATHLETIC - 0

After the close run thing of Tuesday night, the visit of Grays, who had become the first side in Non-League outside the Conference to declare themselves full-time, was never going to be easy.

SUTTON UNITED - 2   [Hodges 33. Watson 51]
GRAYS ATHLETIC - 0

The U’s finally got to exorcise the ghost of the last meeting between the two sides from the tail end of last season. Where an erratic U’s side battled to a 2-0 lead over a side that had scored 7 in a league cup visit earlier in the year, only to capitulate in amazing fashion and allow the visitors to snatch 2 goals in the final minute and a point.

Hang on hang on. Lets just take a second here so I can get this straight. We’ve played 2 games so far, got 4 points AND kept 2 clean sheets??

Really?? Fuck me!

Att: 203

SUTTON UNITED - 1 [Haworth 41]
GRAYS ATHLETIC - 7 [Thomas 18.58.63. Cooper 47.51. Fletcher 57. Morgan 76]

Yes, yes, you read it right. 7-1. So with that, I think we can safely say our involvement in this year's Ryman League Cup is probably at an end....

Let me tell you, a trip to Grays is not one of the favoured awaydays of the Sutton faithful.

Er, John??

Sorry folks, Taz was in Paris for the England game. So was Bob. Chalmers, who was also meant to be going, unfortunately ended up in St Helier hospital on Wednesday afternoon with a nasty stomach complaint.
