Old Georgians vs Wimbledon: Phase 1 Finale with High Stakes

23/11/2024

As the Premier Division heads into its winter break, Old Georgians host Wimbledon in the final match of Phase 1. This fixture not only pits two of the league’s top teams against each other but also adds an emotional twist as Ian Sloan and David Condon line up against their former club for the first time since joining Old Georgians during the summer.

Currently topping the league table, Old Georgians have been dominant throughout Phase 1. Last weekend’s 3-0 victory over Surbiton, featuring goals from Sam Ward, James Carson, and Phil Roper, cemented their position as league leaders. Unbeaten so far, the Georgians have showcased a balanced squad with exceptional offensive firepower and defensive resilience, conceding just 13 goals in nine matches.

Wimbledon, sitting in fourth place, pose a significant challenge. Unbeaten since their opening-day loss to Holcombe, they’ve accumulated consistent results, keeping them well within the playoff race. Their defensive structure and counter-attacking prowess make them a dangerous opponent for any side.

In recent encounters, Old Georgians have enjoyed the upper hand, including a 4-3 victory during last season’s Premier Division semi-final. However, Wimbledon’s form and determination to finish Phase 1 strongly will ensure this is no easy battle.

For Old Georgians, this match offers an opportunity to maintain their flawless record and carry momentum into the winter break. For Wimbledon, it’s a chance to close the gap on the top three. Expect fireworks at St George’s College tonight, with both sides looking to make a statement.

Pushback is scheduled for 18:00. Don’t miss what promises to be a thrilling end to Phase 1!
