2007 The reserves were very unlucky not to take something from the last game against Greenwich Borough. We need to take our chances in the next match. Still the signs are there that we could have a good season. Training 2007/8TRAINING Starting in a few weeks training will now be at Eltham Green School. I will confirm the details nearer the time. At present we are training at Old Roan's ground. To confirm details please contact Neil Fereby. July 17 Geoffrey HarrisFormer player Geoffrey Harris has emailed the club:

From: Geoffrey Harris Subject: From one of the 'old boys' To: steve@elthampalacefc.co.uk Hi Steve Just discovered and visited the EPFC website, it brings back some great memories. I was at school and friends with all the founder members, and regularly supported the team in the early years.I played for the club for several years in the 70's, and later' ran the 2nd team and was Social Secretary at the same time. It was interesting to see the photos sent in by Pete Johnson, and recognise all the lads featured. I stiil keep in touch and meet occasionally with some of them. I still regularly look for the club's results in the local papers, and hope to see the first team make it into the top division of the Kent League before very long. All the very best to the teams next season, and keep the EPFC flag flying. regards Geoff Harris PS If you forward this to Pete in Canada : All the best Pete you might remember me from the early days. I see Paul Sterne in the local supermarket most weeks, and will get him to check the EPFC website if Greg has'nt told him about it already.

Steve Keable 2Wickham Park 'A' 1 - 2 Eltham Palace FC We left it late but we got the win we deserved. Steve Keable grabbed both our goals. The first, a header from a corner early in the first half and the second just before the end of the match from a Rompo through ball volleyed past their keeper. At the time of this report, my understanding is that Crofton have won today as well. So it all goes down to the last game of the season. First and foremost we need to win our game, so let's make sure we are up for it next Saturday. May 02 Results to 28 Apr 2007First Team:

PROMOTED!!! Excellent work everyone on our confirmation of promotion.
Let's really put it in last two gains and try and take that top spot.
Reserves:
League Game 25/4/2007 Heath 1 - 4 Eltham Palace FC Alan Hunter, Mark Murrison, Steve Keable, Steve Rodgers
First up, Alan Hunter scored, for me, the goal of the season with an audacious lob over the keeper from the centre circle kick off just after we had conceded with the score at 3-1. This was not only a great goal but killed off the threat of a late surge from our opponents.
The first twenty minutes of this game were poor by our standards, but we managed to turn things round and eventually win comfortably.

I hear we put in a good performance but our opponents grabbed two goals early in the second half which made it difficult for us to come back. We can now use that classic cliché and 'concentrate on the league'.

Six different scorers shows what a great team performance it was. The first goal was a typical piece of Alan Hunter magic, sweetly volleying the ball with his left foot into the keepers near post. Second up was another great goal. Scott Grant scored a beautiful header from a Steve Rodgers cross following a nice dummy by the Hunter. Luke Wooten then scored from a corner from about a metre out firing the ball into the top left of the goal, although I'm not sure Luke was aiming there! Mark Murrison then stepped up for his customary goal, cooly sliding the ball under the keeper after Scott had managed to get the ball to him in the box. Dafe then made an excellent cameo role as sub and scored after only a few minutes of coming on. Using his strength he strode into the box from the left and fired the ball in off the right hand post. Finally, Steve Keable scored a tap in after a fantastic pass from Luke (or was it a shot, I couldn't possibly say) following more good work from Scott Grant and Mark Murrison on the right. Other than the scorers we need to add that Simon was excellent at right back, Tom had their big fella in his pocket all game, Ferret was very solid and Brendan did not put a foot wrong all game Finally, excellent goalkeeping by the man in goal, pulling off some great saves when he was called upon.

League Game Bridon Ropes 'A' 2 - 5 Eltham Palace FC Buster Devito 4, Alan Hunter 1 We were not at our best but still managed a nice victory against Bridon. Buster was clinical up front grabbing four goals in the absence of Mark Murrison. Alan Hunter grabbed our other goal, which puts him on eleven for the season (no more, no less - Al I have A Level Maths!). Let's keep the pressure on Crofton.
March 05 Results 3 Mar 2007Reserves: League Game Blackheath Wanderers Reserves 1 - 2 Eltham Palace FC Steve Pitcher 1, Mark Murrison 1 We left it late but we got the victory in the end, after, dare I say it, a beautifully weighted pass from Steve Keable to Mark Murrison who poked the ball home. Pitcher continued his excellent goal scoring run with a fourth in four matches, so Mark Murrison better watch out for Pitcher is after that golden boot!! Crofton drew at the weekend, so it's tight at the top.
Results 24 Feb 2007First Team: Reserves:League Game Borough United 2 - 0 Eltham Palace FC Cup Game Eltham Palace FC 3 - 0 TBC Steve Pitcher 1, Alan Hunter 1, Mark Murrison 1 We put in a very good performance in this match against a team doing well two divisions above us sending us into the semi finals of the cup. Our opponents were a strong team but they could not break down a very solid defensive display from us. Our counter attacking play was critical and Mark Murrison scored in the first half after a mazy run and shot from a tight angle. Pitcher then grabbed a volley after the ball had bobbled about in the box from a corner. Second half we continued to hold out and our oppenents were getting very frustrated. Alan Hunter then sealed the victory with a cool finish, slotting home from a pass by Mark Murrison.
