Dormansland Rockets 5 - East Court 3

Rockets made hard work of dispatching East Court on Wednesday evening with a late victory. Goals from Zimmatore and Tiny Twinn saw Dormans come back from 2-3 down to register three goals in the final five minutes.

Rockets started well and dominated the first half of the game at the Worth School ground. However, a re-shuffle at half-time and Rockets seemed to struggle. East Court to be fair suddenly upped their game and began to play some good football which, at times, Rockets found difficult to deal with. It looked like it was all the silverware won over the past two season was weighing the Dormans players down.

However, the best second half team in Mid-Sussex football managed to pull some goals out the bag that were not pretty but did the necessary damage.

Elsewhere, self-proclaimed 'big boys' and title contenders, Forest Row drew 3-3 with AFC Grinstead. It sounds like things are not going quite to plan for the Row.

BBC Rumours Not True

Today's BBC News stated today that some Dormansland players was caught causing trouble at tourist resorts in Israel and Jordan. We would like to say this is not true.

As soon as the news broke, Paul Twinn released this club statement: "I know a couple of the lads have been away to Tenerife and Magaluf this Summer but there has been no trouble. To my mind, this is just propaganda. My boys have been good as gold and have stayed clear of the dentist chairs and hookers...........this time."

Twinn has called for an inquest into where these revelations surfaced from.

A NEW SEASON & MORE SILVERWARE ON ITS WAY

So the World Cup is now over and it's time to get back to work with no excuses. Luckily it will soon be the start of the next season so no need to panic. Master tactican has Paul Twinn has enrolled Matt Thorpe to assist with the management process this year and together they have been strategizing to ensure Rockets have the 'killer instinct' back again.

This season we have jumped two divisions after becoming Divsion 2 Champions and collecting silverware once again. We had a little bit of an off-year last time around with a poor run in the cups but this year we mean business! Tough marine-style training has resumed and the chaps are sweating blood and guts.

We have some news players hat have joined, a couple have left, but the team is now very strong. We're expecting some tough competition this year but, then again, it is about time.

Pre-Season Friendlies

We are currently in ther process of lining up some pre-season friendlies to get the boys ramped up for the new season. All friendlies will be announced shortly but we have provisionally booked ties with East Grinstead United, Wisdom Sports and South Godstone.

Webmaster's Note

We had a bit of a break from web action last year due to work commitments (boo....hiss) but now we're back in business. As for the squad, it looks like we've lost a couple of players but we have also gained some strong individuals that will help the Dormansland express steam-roll it's way to the Mid-Sussex Championship title.

L'EAU DE ARROW

To compliment his ridiculous good looks, Chris Arrow has decided to launch a new fragrance targeted at young men in and around the East Grinstead area. The fragrance, simply called 'MACHO' is said to include some of Arrow's sweat along with essence of Kryptonite, Ketmine and Petrol. Apparently, it will send the crowd wild!

ZIMMATORE MERCHANDISE

The Arron Zimmatore fan club is starting to hot up. No only does he have the local paparazzi following him everywhere but he now has his own range of t-shirts, mens thongs, kitchen aprons and baby clothes. Apparently, 37 babies were given the middle name Zimmatore last year in Sussex alone.

IT'S ALL GONE PETE.........I MEAN TING TONG!

Big Dazza recently announcement that he was taking time out from footy to go and live with his girlfriend in the Phillipines for 3 months. Well, we wish him the best of luck, don't come back married and stay away from those 13 yr old boys.
