The Tooting Ultras, a hundred yards away from the goal at the opposite end seethe with the injustice of this setback and call, half joking, for a review they know won’t come.

We invited Steve Carpenter to capture Tooting & Mitcham United FC’s Isthmian South Central league match versus Bedfont Sports FC.
Kickoff came with a wipe of the brow, sweat drawn from the heat more so than nerves and in the first half we struggled to find our feet.
It can be easy to sit and dream about the FA Cup, imagining who’ll score the 93rd minute winner, stunning the home fans at Old Trafford, in turn sending the travelling fans berserk.
It looked like it would be marked down in the books as a “heroic effort”- “a game we should’ve won”... that was until Razzaq Coleman received the ball outside the box.

If winning is a habit Tooting & Mitcham are dabbling at the moment. Three in three, added to the positive preseason, is a great start.
I had to remind myself that this is indeed the 8th tier of English football and I’m sure it would be a shock to the system for anyone watching with preconceived ideas of non-league football!

We asked Steve Carpenter to take some photos of Tooting & Mitcham United FC’s last game of the season, a home game v FC Romania.
Last weekend, our game versus Chalfont St. Peters was a part of the family fun day that the club hosted at Imperial Fields.The family fun day also made me think about what we as a club understand the idea of “family” to mean.
Football is a team sport. Nothing matters except how skilful the players are, individually and as a set of 11 interlocking minds, at getting that ball into that goal.
The club itself set about building its own mode of flight. A new structure was put in place. Fresh, young talent on the pitch and in the dugout.
