Don't fret yet Nige.
Pretty certain it will only be one up and one down (if any at all!!).

Dorking will def be first to go and as long as only one from HW or Westfield in Div 1 finish in the top 3, then we will be ok - just!

The league prob won't make their mind up til pre-season anyway, so who knows what will happen until then!!!

Saturday 26th April 2008
Camberley 0 – Cobham 1 Scott Day 15mins

The home sides programme notes clearly explained what was about to unfold on the last day of the season. First Guildford would lose 1-0 to Bedfont and Camberley would triumph 13-0 against basement side Cobham thus ensuring that Camberley would finish second. Well Guildford kept to the script kindly losing 1-0 but Cobham’s Teenagers who were lead by Dan Rousell who at 17 years became the youngest player to captain the senior side, were to be party poopers with a battling 1-0 win to finish their season on a high. Following on from there 2-2 midweek draw away at Chessington and Hook in which the Russian Linesmen made a guest appearance signalling that Chesington’s second goal which came back of the cross bar before being cleared had in fact crossed the line and with it Cobham’s mathematical chance of avoiding the second from bottom berth. Their fate now rest in the hands of the Combined Counties and its politics with only one side looking to finish in the top three in Division 1 having the necessary ground conditions, it looks likely that Cobham Should retain the position in the Premier Division, which would be an incredible feat given that in January when the Chairman and his manager resigned and with 12 players moving on in the same week it was a bleak start to the new year but the youngest were given the chance and whilst it has not been an easy few months on the pitch, the club is looking strong both on and off it.
With the average age of the squad at 19 and free of the shackles of relegation they took the game to the home side and on quarter of an hour Scott Day went on a run that chased the ball forcing the centre half to play back towards his keeper, Day kept the pressure on getting to the ball first and flicked it over Karl Clayton who was appearing for the last time at this level. The script had been well and truly torn up and it was Cobham that got the ball down and passed it with the ever impressive Rideout controlling the tempo he was ably supported by Shaun Powell. Camberley resorted to the long ball game trying to hit it in over the top but the back four stood tall winning everything. How Cobham didn’t score more is anybody’s guess with first Andy Dalhouse having an effort cleared of the line and then Shaun Powell thought he scored only to see his effort cleared of the line by an outstretched arm. A clearer penalty you will see not given. Where is that Russian when he is needed So the season ended in bright sunshine and Cobham now await their fate at the league meeting on 14th May 2008
