After the disastrous mini run with only 1 point from  12, the Terrors battled to  defeat a resurgent Leafe 2-1.  Two well taken goals by Wilson and Dixon set the Terrors on their way.  Both teams had opportunities  to score more, but either good goalkeeping  and defensive tackling combined with some unbelievable misses kept the score  to  a minimum. The game was a stop start affair with the whistle continually blown for offside, fouls or other unknown reasons. Clearly at times the referee did not have a clue what was going on.

After  a bumper attendance of 641 at Colston Avenue on Monday,  there was a very poor  turnout of 256 for this holiday and local derby fixture.  We need a crowd of 385 plus against  Casuals just to   exceed the Robins home gate from both of our holiday fixtures.

The Casuals game at  Guernsey on Friday  was  postponed due  to  fog, which leaves them fresh for the match at Imperial Fields.  It was interesting  to  see a contingent from Casuals sitting in the stand yesterday.  Yesterday witnessed a much improved defence  with outstanding performances from SPB and Keeper Merson. Hopefully this improvement will be maintained against the Casuals, but they must concentrate and eradicate  giving a last minute opportunities and goals away.  After a run of 8 unbeaten league games ( 7 wins and a draw) including a 2-0 victory over Greenwich Borough, the Casuals are on a high, and will be looking to  add to  their superb run.  Earlier in the season the Terrors earned  3-3 draw at the Tolworth based club. 

The hard work in gaining a victory over Whyteleafe  must not be thrown away against the Casuals if the Terrors are to  maintain a play-off place.  Even at this time of year this is a 6 pointer for either club tomorrow, and Casuals having games in hand due to  3 matches being postponed or abandoned.

 Tooting need to  take full advantage of this home fixture.
