Met Police 3 Tooting and Mitcham United 2 – 24 October 2026 Report

Match Report

Our first trip to Imber Court for a number of years ended in a disappointing defeat.

On arrival in the truly awful weather, we found the pitch without a single puddle, and it didn’t cut up whatsoever. The home side went close after 20 minutes when Kassa Campbell noticed Toby McKimm off his line, but his chip went just over. Two minutes later, Ben Cheklit went close following an Alfie Waters cross. Just on half-time, the home side went ahead. Jethro Odumosu picked up a misplaced pass and was forced wide by McKimm, but he still managed to score from a difficult angle.

The home side went further ahead on 54 minutes. McKimm’s clearance was blocked by Jagger Chislett, and his cross was tapped home into an empty net by Odumosu. We hit back 10 minutes later. A super cross by Alfie Waters was volleyed home brilliantly by Noah Ingram-Wright for his first goal for the club. We pushed hard for the equaliser but were caught out again on 80 minutes when another misplaced pass saw Odumosu complete his hat-trick.

We once again hit back a minute later with another super goal—this time from William Efambe, who scored with a superb strike that even the match referee remarked was brilliant.

A big thank you to the supporters who made the trip, many by public transport, on a truly awful day weather-wise.
