One of Scott's mates is over from the States this week and so Scott asked if he could get a game. So please welcome Jamie tonight. Scott said he's probably not played "soccer" in four years but as a PE teacher type, should be OK.
It was Jon's birthday yesterday so belated Happy Birthday to Jon!
Speaking of congratulations, please wish the new Mr and Mrs Kelly all the best! Gordo and Baska were married a few weeks ago in Philly.
I couldn't believe it when Si told me that the game was drawn in the final minute by a penalty given away by a player playing the ball in the box. I can't say I was surprised to hear that the player was Paul.
It looks like there will be no game of fives at the FSE as there doesn't seem to be enough people fit or interested in playing. So, it's straight to the pub for burgers and beer. Yee-ha!
A week on Saturday is the FSE - so get those beards on the grow and look out your cowboy hats! Beardback Mountain is ON! I'm still waiting on quite a few of you getting back to me with whether you want to/ are able to play fives that day before lunch. Please let me know ASAP so I can book the pitch.
Sorry chaps - that was shaping up to be a pretty close game last night until I turned into a decrepit old man. It seems my sciatica is a bit worse than I realised. I'm off to the chiropractor's at lunch to get cracked and shouted at no doubt.
Stats have been updated
Alan's on holiday, Ross is injured and Martie is still AWOL but that still leaves ten Hardcore for only the fifth time this year.
I'm back after three weeks off, Andy and Scott are back after two weeks off. Hopefully, it won't be too pacey a game! Mr Bruce has picked the teams.
F.S.E news - we have a venue. This year's will be at The Black Sparrow. It's another one of Steve's Uncle's pubs so Uncle Dave has kindly agreed to do us two for one on the burgers which sound great and should save some cash. Take a look at the menu.

my heel and toes are that is. 2 big blister and lots of blood on my white socks so the boots failed. But at least i looked good.
Easy win for the mince. A game which is a first for me i think. the ball never went out play did it?
A few insignificant people missing this week:
Ross, Scott, Iain, Martie and Andy (note I placed them in order of ability)
So in we have:
Michael and, making his first appearance for us, Donnie. He's a PE teacher and informed me (when slightly intoxicated) he was fairly good.
On another note. I have new boots, I know what colour they are, I don't look like a clown any they weren't cheap, first one who says anything will find out how sharp the studs are on there face.
