Chances Galore, But Cliftonville Edged Out 2-3 in Centenary season opener
A game full of firsts — Mees’ debut as Men’s 1s captain, the first match of the Club’s centenary season, and first-ever Men’s 1s starts for four players.
Cliftonville’s 25/26 campaign kicked off at Polo Farm in Canterbury, facing off against the hosts’ men’s 4s.
Sadly, it wasn’t the dream start the centenary year deserved, with Ville narrowly edged out in a 3–2 defeat. Goals from Isaac Dilkes and Charlie Morgan kept things tight on the scoreboard, and while Cliftonville controlled the midfield and created plenty of chances, they couldn’t quite convert when it mattered.
Plenty of positives to take, though — especially in the build-up play — as the team looks ahead to next week’s home clash against Tunbridge Wells, aiming to get those first three points on the board.
