The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

The 100th goal came in the 5-2 win over Bourne. Alfie scored twice, but Jake Newman scored the 4th goal which was our 100th.

Not counting the game when 1st team won it`s first and only (so far) bit of silver ?
The James Victory Cup V Buckingham, as if you do include this then the 200 was the Alfie winner V Yaxley.

Fair point Brownie. I certainly was not counting that game v Buckingham.

Lets hope Alfie scores first tomorrow to settle and argument.

The Buckingham game does NOT count, as it's not an officially recognised, FA sanctioned game (just because your son was captain and got to lift the trophy doesn't change that fact!). Same as the Supporters Direct Shield doesn't count either, nor does the Chris Ruff Memorial Cup (not that we scored in either of those).

I was trying to help make sure Alfie got the 1st & 200th, 4/6 Alfie gets the first one tonight anyway.
Who got the Clubs first ever goal then, Pete at CG un-sanctioned list, Alfie V Thrapo sanctioned version.

I would say that Alfie's goal in our first league match against Thrapston Town counts as the first Senior goal. As for the Buckingham match it was always listed as an XI fixture in any event.

Welcome back Trek where ya been :?: agree on both points was originally just asking the question as to what does and doesn`t count, but if you look at the side we put out that night for an XI fixture it could be argued against counting the results in some FA ratified games we have played.
Alfie now backed down to 2/5 for first goal tonight.
