Under 11s Update, 19 November 2006
Today’s match was a return to form as far as I was concerned. The boys played well overall but again gifted Drayton four of their five goals - any mistake can be costly and it’s usually just a mistake or a moment’s inattention that leads to a goal. It seems we presently have a 45 minute team rather than a 60 minute one - hopefully we can do something about this in training (by working on strength and stamina) and in matches when we have our full complement of players (with the addition of Dan Brindle once the League sorts itself out and with Joseph Bush coming back on board after injury).
A return to form it was, nonetheless. The applause when the boys came off the field from the Drayton supporters speaks volumes. Well done everyone!
Good to see Nick score from the penalty spot on his birthday too!
Thanks also to Kristian Websdale for being linesman for us again.
Lost and Found
I have a pair of gloves from training last week, a green baseball cap from Bawburgh Golf Club and a white FITC drinks container. Anyone claim ownership of these?
Fixtures
Training and Friendly, 25 November 2006
Saturday morning training starts this Saturday with a friendly against the Lizards Under 11s. Training is at 9.30am and we’ll kick off shortly after this. As the Lizards haven’t got a match on the Sunday, they’ll be wearing their Red & Blacks (home kits) - we will wear any kits or shirts the boys want as we have an away match the following day and will need our Green & Whites (away kits) for that.
Talking of which, our kits have arrived in Dereham and are presently having their sponsor logos applied to them. Which reminds me: thanks once again to our sponsors for their generosity.
Jex, 26 November 2006
This is an away fixture kicking off at 10.30am at Larkman Middle School, Clarkson Road, Norwich, NR5 8ED. From Dereham Road, turn into Larkman Lane, then turn left into Clarkson Road and turn first right into Motum Road. After two houses on the left there are some gates to some Council Offices and the playing field beyond that.
We will leave Ketts Park at 9.30am, so if you intend going directly, you should meet us shortly after 10.00am at the school. Please can the lads wear our away kits as usual.
Match Reporter
We still need a volunteer or volunteers to act as match reporters. The boys really appreciate seeing their names in print but we need people to prepare the words for me to upload to the various web sites and send to the ‘papers. All I need is for one or more volunteers to make some brief notes and e-mail them to me: I’ll do the rest.
