A friendly round up- Tuesday 25 August 2020

We're going to start with an actual competitive match- the first one of those we've had to write about since March. Wingate and Finchley travelled to Hendon to compete in the Semi Final of the London Senior Cup, and fell to a three-one defeat. Goldy Capela put the visiting Blues ahead only for the Greens of Hendon to equalise and take the match to extra time, where home advantage finally counted.

Now, on with the friendlies, after going through social media division by division in an attempt- probably futile- not to miss anything!
