Basildon United FC (The Bees)

Nice One. Uncle Peter lives in some place in Bas named Great Mistley. Sweet. I phoned him last night, asked about 'the Bees' He says they're a feeder club for 'the Hornets'.

PS Go the Hornets! They look good for promo to the EPL. Probably deny Wood his chance in the sun.

Wasps do actually raid bee hives.

I hate f*ckin wasps/hornets.

Sigh. They're all on planet Hymenoptera even as some are raiding others' holes whilst the innocent continue buzzing merrily in their hives

Oi!  Since when does belonging to the same order make everything OK?

That's like saying bears and tigers get along swimmingly.

They aren't responsible for their actions; they're impelled by genes and natural selection. (Unlike footballers/football managers)

I beg to differ:

Choice!

Great result GWR are near the top of the league, pushing for promotion

And from 9 Jan against Hullbridge Sports, a 3-2 win at home (The Hive aka Gardiners Close)

Twilight Zone freaky styley, James Burke connections moment:

Wiki page lists the current Manager for Basildon as one "Chris Wood"

Also former players who have turned professional:

• Steve Tilson - Birthplace Wickford (virtually nieghbours but he is a bit younger than me)
  
• Jonathon Gould...
  

Whoo hoo!

Basildon 3 - 1 Bowers and Pitsea.(23 Feb)

Slap bang in the middle of the table, 10th out of 19.

A midweek game next against London APSA, while the U13s take on the Great Danes Tigers (wtf????) next weekend.

Bees beat London APSA (3-1 I think - score taken down) but lose away to Sawbridgeworth Town 4-2 over the wwekend.

What is it with Essex and cats (clearly not our Gazza's land of hope and glory)?

First there was the Essex Lion (well reem).

A week ago the U13s played the Great Danes Tigers 

Next week they take on St Clere's Tigers and tomorrow the first team take on Sporting Bengal.

A loss to Sporting Bengal followed by a draw (at home) to Stansted (1-1) this weekend.

Next match on Wed is against Bethnal Green (home of Gina Yashere).

The Bees saw off Bethnal Green 2-1 and later tonight take on Southend Manor (not at Southend's Manor).

The U13s similarly dispatched the St Clere's Tigers (mere pussy cats) last weekend.

Ouch.  Southend - home of the Essex Lion maul the Bees (2-7).

At home again to London Bari tomorrow morning.

Ouch !!!!.......A bit like watching the Phoenix........Go the Beeeeeeeeees !!

From the club website:

Basildon United U13s: Chelmsford League Division 3 Champions

Any news on the Under-5's?

The Bees bounce back with a win away to Harry Enfield 1893 (0-1) last Saturday.  Next up is London Bari who sit one point below but with several games in hand.

What's happening with the Bees? I'm going to be there (in Bas, at Uncle Peter's) in 2 weeks time so I need to know if I'll be watching a winning team or a losing one.

Last 3 games are at home

Wed 24th April           v        Barking

Sat 4 May                 v        Barkingside

Mon 6 May                v        Eton Manor

Currently 8th out of 19 in the league

Go the Beeeeeeeeessssssss

Cheers. In the top half then. And a May Bank Holiday double. Sweet.

 Ah... make that watching Hornets at Watford PRIOR to Wembley! If Leicester roll over.

The Bees finish a on a workman-like 13th position  (out of 19) on 41 points.

Forget about EPL glamour pussy clubs being on Sommet Sports.

We deserve some good grass roots, honest something-not-coal-face football in the form of Essex Senior League.

Vote Basildon United FC on the Sommet Sports Twatbook.

There's no such thing as too much stripey.

Thanks to  Big Pete 65 posting about Kenny Cunningham, I googled this

Not Basildon - Chelmsford City.  But still Essex, which is mostly important.
