October – Victory against Dulwich Hamlet in the Velocity Cup

October – Comeback against Raynes Park Vale
Despite being 2-0 down at half time, the Moles’ second half display is one of our best 45 minutes of the season. Luke Wayborn and Dan Lewis brought the Moles level before Jamie Hilton and Mitch Parker completed the comeback. The five victories out of five in October meant we were awarded Manager
of the Month award!

After success in the Velocity Cup, there was also success in the county cup when the Moles beat National League side Maidenhead United on their way to the quarter finals of the competition.
January – Hastings Quarter-Final Victory
Even after the victory against Dulwich Hamlet, the Moles’ best result was yet to come. After making the two-and-a half hour midweek journey down to Hastings, the Moles went two goals up at half time through Smith-Jones and Reese Jones Jr and held on for a two-one victory to make it through to the Semi Finals. They eventually bowed out in the Last 4 stage against Billericay Town but their Quarter Final performance earned them ‘Performance of the Month’
February – Smith-Jones hat-trick
Back to league action and the Moles produced a brilliant performance to take a big step towards safety. A Rahzir Smith Jones hat-trick gave the Moles a 3-1 victory at Sutton Common Rovers which was part of a great run through February-March to set them up for the rest of the season.
March – Victory at Met Police to secure our fate
A trip to Met Police at the end of March awaited the Moles knowing that a win would all-but seal their Step 4 status for another season. Goals from Ethan Lindo and Smith-Jones in the first half was enough to
ensure the Moles took all three points. Although official safety wasn’t confirmed until the penultimate
week of the season, a fifth consecutive season in the Isthmian League is one to celebrate.
