first win of the season after going down 2-0 at home to Drayton
Wanderers.

Southall, is now with Kent League side Beckenham Town.
October 14th
Southall went out of the Middlesex County
Football Association Intermediate Cup at the first hurdle when
they lost 1-0 away to local rivals Indian Gymkhana.
Playing in this competition for the first time in their history
Southall found their opponents from the London Commercial
League, better organised, more prepared to retain possession of
the ball and on the day better skilled.
The Southall performance was for long periods of the game
inept with too many players guilty of below par performances.
The winning goal came after the half hour mark and but for
several clear cut chances scorned by Indian Gymkhana and crucial
saves by Amit Sohal the margin of defeat would have been
much more emphatic.
To compound a bad day there were four cautions for the Southall
side which is in stark contrast to the impressive record of only three obtained
in the previous nine matches.
October 10th
Former player Gag Sidhu has kept in
regular contact with Reg Short, who made over 400 appearances
for Southall in a career from 1950 till the mid 60's.
Gag has left a message on the Southall Message Board giving
further information about the outstanding contribution Reg made
to Southall Football Club and with Gag's kind permission the
article is reproduced here.
Gag has also forwarded me some photographs of Reg and these can
be found here along with one that I took of Reg in September
2003 when both he and Gag attended the Southall match away to
Feltham.

Reserves the match next Saturday at home to Spelthorne Sports
