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)

A bad day at the office.

FAB Juniors Vs Penyffordd

FAB Scorers
Michael(2), Charlie.

Ellis seems confused over where his own arms and legs are
but manages to whip in a good corner anyway!

Confusion reigns in the defence ahead of conceding our first goal.

Maybe the guys weren't sure WHICH goal to defend.

Playing under the Flags!

I'm no expert but does anyone else think our defence is playing a bit deep when all of them are behind the goalkeeper?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No its a..... eh? WHAT is THAT???

Steve, so bemused by our performance decides to cover his eyes.

Charlie and a Penyffordd player try out for the three legged race!

"Just like that",

Dylan practices his Tommy Cooper impression when he finds a bit of space.

Dylan protects the ball with his body.

Ryan takes a throw-in.

I'm worried when our own reserve goalkeeper is too scared to look!

"Eeek! It's a football-spider - Get it away from me... GET IT AWAY!!"

A long time ago, versus a Galaxy far far away...

Mynydd Isa Galaxy V FAB Juniors U9s

FAB Scorers

Lewis (2), Dylan, Sam

"Everyone who remembers how to PASS raise your hands now!
... c'mon... someone? ... anyone? ... no one?"

Oh, look! Whats going on over there?

Ryan defending a throw-in.

A superb shot just clips the top of the bar leaving their 'keepr stranded.

Shame its the wrong Bar!

Kieran, who ran all, day heads off with the ball.

Head tennis!

Defending a corner.

Mynydd Isa whip in another corner.

Ethan gets his foot on the ball as Dylan Lewis and Ellis look on.

This is a football match, not a step class!

Kick IT!

Kieran hopes the referee doesn't notice hit new 'Knee In The Bum' tackling technique.

Ellis tries to distract the Galaxy with his shouts of

"Help my Arm's Fallen Off!!!"

Kieran, Lewis and Dan go for the same ball...

Space guys, look for SPACE!

Ryan shows that his levitation lessons are going well.

Despite the coaches many requests, the new lycra uniforms for the cheerleaders fail to arrive.

(here they are demonstrating their classic, "standing around watching" cheer routine.)

Sportingly Lewis avoids the trip instead of "Doing an Eduardo"

Well played!

Another Galaxy corner is chipped in.

He fell ooooooover... he fell oooooover!!!

err.... another corner!

(I'm running out of things to say about corners!)

Lewis is distracted by The Bells! THE BELLS!

Down to earth with a bump!

FAB Juniors U9s Versus FAB Juniors U8s

FAB Scorers
Kieran

Filani was a surprise signing for the Under 8s

Head IT!

Will somebody explain to Kieran why Gethin, Ryan and Ethan are dejected.
That's OUR Goal, STOP celebrating!!

New signing Sam misunderstands the coach's fitness regime
and is caught doing press-ups mid game.

Sam takes on three of the opposition.

Hey! How'd it get over there?

I normally manage to get some players and the pitch in the photographs.
But at least i got the ball!

We bundle the ball over the line to score first!

Hey if you want the shirt that badly wait till the end of the game
and Sam will give it to you!

Wide open spaces for the opposition to run into!

Charlie shields the ball with his body.
Can we get him something bigger for the next game?

Outnumbered 3 to 1.
