OLD Loughtonians men's first XI got their indoor season off to the perfect start when they defeated England's Indoor Squad at the national team's training base in Northampton.
In a great performance that bodes well for the National Indoor League, which begins in January, the Essex side were 7-4 victors.
Stuart Hendy, the Chigwell side’s 1st XI goalkeeper, has been selected as part of the National Indoor squad but played for Loughts during the contest.
