ITS TOUGH AT THE BOTTOM

You would have to do some serious research to find this season's worst team in English football but Wateringbury Wanderers manager Jack Boddy claims that his side playing in the Maidstone and District Sunday League might have that accolade. Interviewed on Talksport today, he claims that his side rarely fields a full 11 men and those that do play have let in 199 goals so far. They are bottom of the Division One (how they got into that high level heaven knows) with 18 losses in 18 games and a goal difference of -172. The division shows that they have also had 3 points deducted but Boddy claims this is an error, as he has never fielded an ineligible player.

On the positive side, the team has scored 27 goals, just over one per game. Boddy has been manager for only the most recent matches and he claims to have helped close the gap between Wateringbury and their opponents. They were 5-3 up against the league leaders only to lose 5-6. Talksport suggested that should his team raise one point this season, Boddy should get on the phone straight away for a celebratory interview.

Should he resign after this disastrous season? Certainly not, since he has only been in charge for 5 games and it looks as though, they might be going in the right direction with two games left.

Drifting through the Non League Paper, Sussex clubs seem to have an issue with winning matches. Spare a thought for Seaford Town who sit at the bottom of the Macron Sussex County League Division Two-a reasonably serious league; they have played 28 and drawn once. One point with 16 goals for and 82 against.

Clymping in the Third Division have one win in 20 matches with 104 against and 16 for. It must be the sea air?

Welsh team, Rhydymwyn on NIL points, is having similar problems, in the Spar Mid-Wales Senior League, with 3 points deducted for an indiscretion. They sit at the bottom of the division with one win (cancelled out) 21 goals for and 132 against.

AFC Porth are not far behind in their Nathaniel Car Sales Welsh League Division One; P29, W0, D1, L28, F12, A125 Points 1.

Roll on the cricket season.
