Briefly thought Hamzad Kargbo was back! Wouldn't be pre-season without him scoring a stunner against a non-league team |  |

A Chatham Town player called Oldfield scored a first half hattrick. They must have been playing with tubular balls. |  | |  |

Although they are in the Isthmian League, I've read that Chatham are operating this season with a mixture of full professionals & part time professionals. What that will cost in wages is anyones guess. I'm assuming that their owner has very deep pockets & hopefully it won't go wrong for them if the owner leaves. [Post edited 19 Jul 14:49]

Getting a good feeling about this guy, I can see him becoming really popular. https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/2025/july/18/st-phan--clear-improvement/ [Post edited 20 Jul 8:46]

Talking of which though, whatever happened to the lad from Sudan we were taking on trial and the Nigerian lad we had apparently signed? Edit - the Nigerian lad moved to Croatia [Post edited 21 Jul 11:20]

Surely he's better than some of the novices that were on show in today's game against Cardiff. |  | |  |
