Icarus are set to meet Winchmore Hill in the final of the Middlesex/Essex Cup on Saturday 27 March. The Southern Amateur League side will provide tough opposition from a league with a good reputation for playing the passing game.

Meanwhile, the Vets will take on Old Wokinghians on Saturday 13 March at the beginning of a busy period for the Club which will see fixtures against the TA, Doncaster Rovers, the Cup Final and Bromley Vets.

Icarus beat Hale End Athletic 2-1 after extra time at Uxbridge as Jase Parr scored his first goal for the Club.

Icarus went a goal behind in the first half against the run of play, but a strong second half performance saw Parr equalise with a powerful header from a Joe Griffin corner.

Icarus could not find the second goal in normal time and it took a dramatic own goal from a superb Joe Griffin free kick with only 6 minutes of extra time remaining to win the tie.

The Club have confirmed that a fixture has been agreed with Doncaster Rovers at Doncaster on Wednesday 24 March.

The fixture last season included top professionals such as James Hayter, so the game is another exciting opportunity for all Icarus players.

Icarus received a boost today with the news that Joe Griffin has been given the go ahead to resume training following his broken toe. The midfielder and head coach will now be in contention for the Cup Semi Final on 27 February.

Today's Vets Fixture against the HAC has been postponed. Manager Pete Beer is said to be very disappointed after assembling an excellent squad for the game.

Meanwhile, James Renders is due to have a MRI scan this afternoon. With several big fixtures still to come this season the Club are hoping for good news.

Jim Schofield scored the only goal of a tough physical encounter at Uxbridge as Icarus progressed to the Middlesex Cup Semi-Final.

Icarus were slow to get started, but Portaluri and Hodgkinson could have given Icarus the lead in the first half, however, it was a great break by Martins-Tonks that resulted in a penalty a minute into the second half that Schofield dispatched under presure.

Icarus are now waiting to find out who awaits them in the semi at the end of February.

Stu Lindsay grabbed his annual goal early this year as Icarus crushed Guildford Saints 8-2 today.

The goals came from Mark Farrell (2), Si Hays, Stu Lindsay, Ady Morris, Jon Pullen and Steve Wood (2). Manager Pete Beer told us, "it was a good performance and it is up to us to take this form into next month's clash with HAC".

Andrew Arnison and Lee Hodgkinson both reached the remarkable milestone of 100 Caps for Icarus as they played their part in a stirring victory against a Boston Utd XI.

The goals game from Hodgkinson (3), Joyce and Arnison. Boston dominated possession in the first 35 minutes, but Icarus gradually forced them back with their physical presence and guile. After going in at the break 1-0 up a superb second half performance resulted in 4 more goals.

Icarus beat a London League XI 4-1 on Friday afternoon, with the goals coming from James Render, Tom Summerville (2) and Gino Portaluri. In a major blow, winger Render has damaged ligaments in his knee. The Club are currently waiting for the results of a scan to assess how long he will be out for.
