what's the latest....

The news on the discussions about us quitting Brislington and joining the Filton over 35s for our Tuesday work out have been rendered irrelevant as the Filton league has folded and we have agreed to continue for the new 18 week season at Bris. We'll see what challenges our division offers but hopefully continue.

Despite last week's victory tonight's fixture against ABBA (2nd in the division with 11 wins from 13 matches) didn't  look like a great proposition but although we lost we offered a real challenge to ABBA. There were several changes to the squad (yes we managed to field 7 players tonight and seemed to cope well with the changes). With no Abrahams available and a rare absence by Matt B old handers Swifty, Keith and me took to the rubber-crumb with Jimmer plus very useful newcomer to Real, Levi and Rick with our new youth policy now that Sam has been lured to the US in the shape of James. I took the decision to play in goal as I can pick the ball out of the net as well as the next man and I was able to admire the competitive and skillful display from the Madras boys. Throughout the 2nd half it was ABBa that were asking their bessy mate (the referee) how long to go as we were able to match the physical threat from ABBA. When one of the ABBA players got arsey with Levi he quietly scored a goal and this seemed to be the Madras attitude throughout. Yes we lost but with dignity and an all round excellent performance. ABBA & DUNNO will be promoted and we look forward with confidence to the new season
