Downs-Vale

Post by Old Redback »

For years this was a highlight of the amateur league calendar and to many it still may be and there is sure to be a crowd but has it lost some of its shine?
Either way the form book goes out of the window and I am sure it will be another cracker like earlier in the season when Downs eventually won by the odd goal in nine.

With the Downs fighting for the Championship 1 point clear of the Gardens & the Vale fighting relegation, it should be an absolute cracker!

The Vale are a proud Division 1 Club & Div.1 just wouldn't be the same without them.....

Come On the Vale!

ORB do the Vale a favor and play a draw it will be enough to keep
them in Div1 ... Vista won't win another game and Vale have a
better GD ...!!! Carn the Vale !!
