Sat 28th April - Hythe 1st XI vs Sway

'' Cancelled'' Looking For Another Fixture

http://www.swaycc.co.uk/

Unfortunately we can't get the ground back for this fixture as the football have their last game.

We have contacted Sway and fingers crossed between the two of us - we will find a ground for this game to go ahead.

For a number of seasons now Sway have been coming up through the Divisions and last season got just deserve as they won promotion to County 4 South. They'll be a good test for Matt's lads and obviously a win is needed for me to have bragging rights over Marshall, Hurrell & Keen at Sway.
