THE 9TH/IZTH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL The Regimental Team with some of the trophies won during the past six years Football During the 1986-87 season, owing to commitments and the move back to England. the Regimental team was not involved in any competition football. Of the friendly matches played against local German sides, the Regiment won three out of four matches by consider- able margins. A match against 1 RTR resulted in a 4—2 win with goals by Tpr Thomas and Cpl Bailey. The team was trained most of the season by SSgt Thompson (REME), but due to a long spell of cold winter weather the team had little match 54 practice outside. This became apparent when they were defeated in the Cavalry Cup by the lfi/SL. At Squadron level a very successful inter-squadron competition was held over a period of 7 days, D Sqn coming out winners against a strongly fancied A Sqn team. (This result cost SSM Neuman DM 10.00.) There is much talent in the Regiment and the willingness of players to work hard leads to a belief that we can be a force in Army football and perhaps even “lift" the coveted Cavalry Cup in the not too distant future. Having run the Regimental Football team for the last 4 seasons, 1 would like to thank all the players who have supported rue and worked so hard when representing the Regiment on the football field. A special thanks must also be given to W02 (RQMS) Fergus, LCpl Leonard and LCpl Percival for giving up their time, often at short notice, to referee. |
