WALKER GROUND
The Walker Ground is a beautiful sporting oasis in Southgate, close to Arnos Grove Tube Station. It is home to Southgate Cricket Club and hosts Middlesex CC for first class matches. Post match food will be available from the Walker Café and we hope teams will enjoy a post-match beer or two from our selection of cask conditioned ales and chilled lagers. This part of the evening is as important as the football itself. See www.thewalkerground.co.uk and “Pictures”.
WALKER TRUST
The Walker Cricket Ground Trust is a registered charity dedicated to maintaining the ground for the benefit of the people of Southgate. This event will raise much needed finance for the Trust and your support would be appreciated.

The third annual football tournament at The Walker Ground (Waterfall Road, Southgate) was well supported by previous entrants and a few new teams. On Tuesday Old Minchendenians Vets returned to defend the Trophy they won last year but found the competition too tough as one of 2 teams entered by the manager of Enfield Ladies FC topped their group. The surprise semi finalist was NOT SO ATHLETIC a team from accountants Nyman Libson Paul who having arrived late had to play their last 2 group games back to back. Two wins led to a 12 minute semi against Oakhill Tigers Vets and a further win saw an exhausted (but quite athletic) NOT SO in the final. In the other group the second “Enfield Ladies Vets” came top setting up a semi final clash with their counterparts from group A. The team styled Enfield Ladies Vets (nothing old or ladylike about them!) went on to beat the valiant Not So Athletic in the final and have agreed to go for the Cup next year. The cup competition on Thursday was always going to be a tough event. Old Minchendenians returned with a squad they were sure could make up for Tuesdays disappointment. Last years winners and one of our home teams AC Finchley came with 2 squads and a management looking to retain the Cup. Our other home side Oakhill Tigers were clearly a contender as was Nick Salts team – 3 Serjeants Inn. The surprise semi finalists was TEAM LYNDA recruited on the day by Lynda Colt to replace a last minute withdrawal and narrowly beaten by Oakhill Tigers. TEAM LYNDA had beaten AC Finchley to qualify with Old Minchendenians. In the other group Oakihill Tigers were top leaving AC Finchley needing to beat 3 Serjeants Inn in the last game to qualify. This game was great entertainment as the desire to go through to the semis and some disputed decisions led to a heated exchange as AC Finchley led 1-0. The ref gave a “calm down” talk and warned of 2 minute sin bins for any further dissent. Unfortunately the red mist had taken hold of 3 Serjeants Inn players so Iain Salt plus goal keeper faced AC Finchley alone as their 3 team mates spent 2 minutes on the side lines. More drama followed as the AC Finchley / OLD MINCH semi went to penalties. Old Minch goalkeeper (Tom Sharp) had not let in a goal all night and kept all penalties from AC Finchley until beaten by their goalie but his side had only scored once so he then scored his penalty to take OLD MINCH through. Another clean sheet saw OLD MINCH beat Oakhill Tigers in the final. After 2 very enjoyable evenings the comment from the teams was “Why don’t you do this more often?”. The ten team 2 pitch per evening format worked well and we could spread the wear and tear by using 2 out of 3 pitches each night so if we have interest next year may see some additional evenings and perhaps a junior tournament?
