OUR HISTORY

2024 - 2025

PRE-SEASON 2024

AN UPHILL START
A new year, and a new beginning. The 2024/25 season began with a new kit, a clubhouse, and a very tough pre-season against a blend of Division 2, 3 and 4 opponents.
The Salads, however, played valiantly, winning three games and losing four. Given the quality of the opposition faced this was a roaring success, and now we cannot wait for the proper games to begin.
SEPTEMBER 2024

THE SALAD BOWL
Who would have thought it? GPR Home played GPR Away, highlighting the depth of our squad and availability of the players. It was GPR Away who came home with the victory this time, although next time GPR Home will be looking to snatch back the crown of Caesar Salad.
3 games in September yielded 6 points to start the season well, with resident goalscorer Rory bagging 7 goals to scoop up the Player of the Month award. Roll on October!
OCTOBER 2024

WAKE ME UP WHEN OCTOBER ENDS
A tough month for The Salads. Despite some decent performances, a 3-1 cup win against West Drayton Reserves was a bright spark sandwiched between two very close losses and a fair defeat in the Russell Grant Challenge Cup.
The cups now in the rear view mirror, the focus returns to the league. If we knuckle down, we can get the results. Probably.
NOVEMBER 2024

EVERY DOG HAS IT’S DELAY
Sundays without 10:30 kick-offs aren’t half dull. A cup weekend and a postponed Roger Perry Round 3 tie meant just two games this month. One, a hard fought 1-0 away win and clean sheet. The other? Less said about the result the better.
The positives? New home kits arrived, no major injury updates and a dog in Wormwood Scrubs fancied a run-out at left wing mid match. We’re hoping for more games in December!
DECEMBER 2024

A FITTING FAREWELL
To 2024? To the old kits? To the gaffer? Why not all three. And that’s what we got. Three wins out of three, 12 goals scored, only 1 conceded and maximum points to finish off the calendar year and bid a heartfelt goodbye to a Salad legend.
Manager Jack and photographer Chrissie depart having contributed an uncategorical amount to the club’s success. Expect tears at the Christmas Party, and a pledge to go again in 2025.
JANUARY 2025

THE MASCULINE MYSTIQUE
Only two games this month due to the weather playing its part. Our first game back was a tough nut to crack in the cup. Suffice to say, we advanced to the next round, taking us into unknown territory. A loss to Pro FA followed, but they’re a damn good team and a 1-0 is by no menas a bad result.
It’s great to be back into the swing of things. February throws up three very tasty fixtures, so we’ll need to have our heads up ready for the challenge.

2023 - 2024

AUGUST 2023

A PROPER PRE-SEASON
With our two wins from the season before and having gone three unbeaten in pre-season, spirits were high. More new faces got involved and we finally had an organised committee - the Backroom - to lead GPR on and off the pitch. Things were looking good, and there was a feeling that a corner had been turned.
Whipping boys no more.
AUTUMN 2023

MIXED FORTUNES
Our second season started with positives and negatives both. After an initial 4-1 loss, we picked up our game and won two games on the spin in fine fashion. Just three games in and we were close to beating last year's tally already.
Then our winter run-in got tough. The lads went on a run of five without a win against some tricky opposition and injuries plagued The Salads yet again. It was a frustrating time, with good performances not being reflected in the scoreline. Yet again, we were knocked out of the cups, which is always a disappointment.
DECEMBER - FEBRUARY 23/24

A STRONG RUN
After a difficult period, the boys got their act together and started stringing together a good run of results. After a few crucial wins in the league, we had gone from mid-table hopes to promotion candidates. There was still the question of the two juggernauts of the league, however, as we had not played them, and got our first battering of the year against Atlantis to throw a spanner into the works.
Off the pitch, things were gaining momentum. We were a much more cohesive unit, with consistency in numbers improving and a better overall spirit around the club. The mood going into games had shifted from hopeful to expectant. It was also around this time that the backroom decided to start planning for the next season, and the search for sponsors and potential changes to kit began.
MARCH - MAY 2024

A STRONG FINISH
Spring had sprung and so did the Salads spring into life with a fantastic final third to the season. The remaining seven games were incredibly tough on paper and although we only gained 12 points (including one forfeit), it was enough to see us climb to third in the table and finish the season as "best of the rest". The two league heavyweights, Sandgate and Atlantis, tousled at the top of the pyramid, while we slowly climbed into a playoff position.
Although we couldn't win our last game against eventual champions Sandgate, we ran them as close as we could, having gone 2-0 up, and even though we walked off the pitch in disappointment, we agreed that things had never been so good. Moving off the obvious shortcomings of the year, there had never been a time to be a Salad.
