2018 hadn’t been kind to us up till yesterday.10+ injuries and 5 losses but that could have all changed come the postponed game against Kenningwell on 18/3/18 due to the ‘beast from the east’. There was a major difference in the availability of players in that 1-week timeframe, and avoiding facing them with a weakened…

This was the big one. As described on twitter from Bickley player James Smith this was his ‘favorite game of the season’. Regardless of the outcome over the years this game has often led to title winning or trophy wins for both teams and even though Vista didn’t have much to play for in this…
Having played Eden Park twice this season where in the initial game they were considerably weaker than they’d have liked to be, this game happened to be our karma for taking full advantage. A severely weakened squad through injury, which included Damani Campbell coming out of retirement and donning the goalkeeper gloves. This situation would…
Match Report : N/A Goals : Andrew Thompson, Aaron Southard, Carlton Murray Price Assists : Andrew Thompson M.O.M – Adrian Browne
This has become a game that many look forward too. These are two of the most competitive teams in the league who have fought for domestic monopoly over the years. There has been so many classic games involving the two teams and as we imagined this would most likely prove the same, and it was….

Vista had 4 players chosen to play in the league representation game against CMSFL. Andrew Dalhouse ©, Siao Blackwood, Andrew Thompson and Kwabena Osei turned out for the league helping reward them with their first win against the Croydon league. It’s a huge honor to represent the league and Vista is extremely proud to have…
This was a game so reminiscent of when Premier league ‘big boys’ face a hungry championship/league 1 side who will stop at nothing to reach their goal. We became aware of Cray in October when they were beating teams like Bickley and Kumazi and couldn’t comprehend how this was possible. Having been in this league…
Hatcham are one of our league rivals and via direct technical ability possibly the best team in the league, but they know what a game with Vista entails. In terms of similarity to professional football this game is the Madrid derby, with Hatcham being Real Madrid and Vista Athletico. The opponents only fuel our high…
Similar to boxing I believe that styles make for interesting battles or dead contests. Mayweather may well arguably be one of the best boxers ever but his style doesn’t always flatter. Vista are a fast counter attacking team but every so often we come up against a team that stifle our ability to reach our…
