2006/07 MATCH REPORTS

U’s v Thurrock (07/10/06)

Final score: 2-1

Two first half goals from on loan striker Charlie Ide gave the U's a great start, however the visitors soon pulled one back. From then on Sutton looked like they might need another goal to secure the points. An injury to the ref then held the first half up for 15 minutes. After the replacement was found Sutton tried hard to build on their lead but 'Fleet were also not giving up on getting an equaliser. The second half was a nail biting affair, but the yellows managed to hang on and secure three vital points.

U’s v Bognor Regis (28/10/06)

Final score: 4-0

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside... An awesome performance from the travelling Amber Army saw United put four past their hosts. An acrobatic volley from John Scarborough got the U's on the board. The lead was soon increased by Warren McBean as he added his name to the list of players to score on their debut.
