Mud, Mud, Glorious MUUUUUDDDDDDD...!

Aston Park Rangers Vs FAB Juniors

FAB Scorers

Lewis (4), Michael (2), Sam (2)

Lewis discovers that the ball has a tendency to ...STICK!

Sam and Michael, who both ran up front all day, close in to splat one of the opposition.

Charlie, wearing his high visibility gloves in case he gets lost in the mud and requires a search team, tries to navigate his way past both a swamp and the opposition defence.

Admittedly we were helped by the fact that one member of the opposition was too small to climb out of the mud puddle!

My apologies for the small number of pictures -  due to a logistics problem with camera batteries (I forgot to bring spares)

Match Report (Aston 29-11-09)

Hi Everyone,

Well that bloke was right when he said "It's a funny old game". What a magnificent team performance today from the whole squad against Aston, in what proved to be very tricky conditions. Seriously, this result has been coming for a long time. It was just a matter of getting our noses in front and concentrating on staying there, which we did with great style and determination. We didn't quite match Spurs for their effort against Wigan but we came very close, but with the guys from Aston putting up a much better fight than Wigan. As ever, the commitment from the guy's was awesome, with the skill and teamwork added to the recipe making the difference.

A big well done to everyone!! In fact the guy's played that well we are giving them the night off training on Tuesday Dec 1st. (Oh! did I tell you we can't have our training facility this week as the High School have exercised their right to pull rank and take it off us. Now there's a coincidence)

See you all the week after (Tue 8th Dec)

Hawarden Match (15-11-09)

Hi Everyone,

On a personal note, the game and in particular the result was very disappointing today. We are definitely locked in a pattern that is allowing us to match teams, and on some occasions play better than them, but the boys are all to often making it easy for the opposition to score against us and hence sending our heads lower than a 'Snake's Belly' , which we are finding it very difficult to recover from. The first goal conceded today was definitely against the run of play.

During one of the team talks at the breaks, we spoke about trying to play football and pass the ball around and all the benefits this would give us, to which the opposition did very well (They must of been listening to our talk) but I am afraid we were trying once again to be individuals instead of a team, and until we do this we will find it very hard to gain positive results. We will of course be working very hard as always, to rectify this in training.

Holywell Game (Sunday 1-11-09)

Hi All,

I'm afraid it's fast approaching that time of the season again, yes the good old British weather put paid to our fixture against Holywell at the weekend. The weather was atrocious on Sunday morning when Mark (Holywell Manager) phoned me to let me know the condition of the pitch and quite rightly called it off. Seriously though, we will always put the safety of the boys first.
I have invited them to rearrange the game to take place at our Training session on Tuesday 10th November, watch this space.
