This won't mean much to most of you but Powerleague have finally agreed to let us block book a pitch for 6:30pm on Wednesday nights. In theory, we should always have pitch 8 unless there's a tournament on or something where they need the pitch but we should get plenty of notice if that happens.
My thanks go to Foxy for booking the pitch for the last few years and to Kyle for picking up the reigns this year. It'll mean no more random 9:30pm games or anything like that. Yay!

The first draw of the year last night though a number of the Mince men have claimed it maybe was a one goal win for them. Rather than be bitter and argue about it, they've decided to claim a moral victory. Well played to everyone for what sounds like a good game. Well done to Marc and Robert who acquitted themselves well on the night too.
Next week Alan and Martie are back but Neil and Foxy are out. Gordon and Scott are still on holiday and Si and I are still suffering from chocolate ankles. That means we'll need four ringers so I'll be in touch.
Please make sure and get your MOTM votes in - only 6 last week. Ta.

Another game filled with randoms I'm afraid. Martie, Si and I share all have the injury "du jour" - a knackered ankle. Scott and Alan are on holiday (not together they tell me) and Gordo is still "working" in the USA - it's a hard life!
A new chap from IDOX called Marc makes his début - he works with Wills in finance so I have no idea what he'll be like but I'm trying to find out so teams will go up once we know a bit more about Marc. The other new face is Robert. No, not our German friend with the controversial top, but a friend of Andy's who it apparently a decent footballer (or so Kyle says).
Tonight will be the first game where the "you can only shoot from your opponent's half" rule will be dropped. We'll see how it goes and make a final ruling once we've had a few games. I bet Foxy and Steve will be the first to take advantage of it.

From what I've heard so far, it was a decent enough game last night so thanks to all the ringers who played, especially the last minute ones.
Next week Martie, Stuart, Scott and Andy will be back hopefully. Si's ankle is still it bits and the Doc tells me that I've damaged the ligaments in mine so a few more weeks for me I rekcon - baws.

And no one knew who anyone was. Basically, everyone pulled out leaving just four Hardcore (and two of them tried to pull out). Here's the squad list:
Foxy
Neil
Kyle
Wills
Steven
Paul
Jon
Campbell (Kyle's flatmate)
Jamie (Paul's friend)
Wills' mate (don't even have a name for the poor chap)
So you have ten but I have no idea what the teams will be - probably better you sort it out on the pitch, which is number 7 tonight.
Enjoy!

Alan coaches his son's football team and this instructional picture was sent round - I thought'd I'd share:

Foxy thinks the score was 16-11 to the Mince and that's all I know about the game.
Next week I'm hoping Stuart, Martie, Kyle and maybe even me will be back. Gordo's away for another three weeks in the US of A.
