Absentee captain Edd Holfold deigned to grace the Mens 2s with his presence this week, after a scrappy but functional 1-0 win the week before. He’s been away soul-searching in Thailand, in case you haven’t heard.

With an absent captain and an influx of new players the 2’s fielded 1 Junior, 3 Vets, 4 Debutants, 1 Cricketer, 1 ex first teamer, 1 national running champion, 1 weird guy, 1 sham and a hybrid powered Boag.

If you can pop down before your game or stay after to support other teams it really does make a difference. This is also the first time that both our firsts teams are playing together in same season in north leagues! At home we have 10:30 Ladies 3s vs Canalside Terriers 1 Read more…
