Our second team began their current campaign with a visit to Loftus Road on Friday, August 14. Queens Park Rangers opened the scoring just on half-time but we drew level two minutes after the interval when Trevor Morley converted a penalty.
We then had a number of chances to take the lead with Matthew Rush, in particular, prominent in creating opportunities. Colin Foster was unlucky not to score when his header hit the crossbar. The West Londoners, however, annexed the points with 10 minutes to go although Paul Hilton, our reserve team manager, thought that we at least deserved a draw after a good all round performance.

The visit to Vicarage Road for an evening rendezvous with Watford resulted in a very evenly balanced game up until half-time. Trevor Morley had our best chances of scoring before the interval which arrived with both sides failing to find the back of the net.
However, within four minutes of the turn-round we found ourselves two goals in arrears. A shot from the edge of the box and a Luther Blissett strike giving the home side the advantage.
We continued to create a number of chances in the next 30 minutes or so and were finally rewarded when we also scored twice in the space of a couple of minutes.
Mitchell Thomas's chip into the opposing penalty area was headed home by Colin Foster after 85 minutes. Within two minutes Matt Holland broke down the right-hand side of the field and his accurate cross was once again headed home by Foster on one of his marauding excursions upheld.
A draw seemed on the cards but in the dying seconds of the game the Hornets annexed the points when their No. 10 was allowed a free header, so for the second match running our endeavours received no reward.
