After a restful Exeat weekend, Tuesday afternoon proved a busy one for the football club, with both the U15s and 1st XI in ISFA Cup action.
The U15s travelled to Radnor House in Sevenoaks, and produced a hard-working performance, earning a deserved 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Mauro M O.
The 1st XI were also victorious. Backed by excellent support throughout the second half, Patrick C opened the scoring before Seth V sealed the win with a delightful backheel finish. The result continues an impressive start to the season for the 1st XI, who remain unbeaten after their opening four matches, recording three clean sheets along the way.
Looking ahead, there is another busy weekend of fixtures, including nine home matches against Eton College and St Dunstan’s on Saturday. On Sunday, Adnan L, Joe J, Seth V and Umar M will travel to Eton College to take part in ISFA National Team trials. We wish them the very best of luck.

In tennis news, Lancing hosted Brighton College in the first friendly pre-season fixture of the year and produced an impressive team performance to secure a 7-3 overall victory.
It was a particularly encouraging afternoon for debutants Teo D and Chloe H, both of whom secured their first win for the College. Highlights included victories across singles for Alex G, Tudor P, Andrew B, Olivia M and Teo D, with Olivia and Chloe also securing a 7-5 victory in the doubles.
MVP awards go to Andrew B and Olivia M for their superb performances and back-to-back victories across the fixture, helping to lead the team to a strong opening win.
This marked a highly encouraging start to the year, and the squad now looks forward to further fixtures later this term, including Brighton College away, Hurstpierpoint College, and Bede’s.
