No I am not referring to being suddenly woken up in the middle of the night by the sound that someone had seemingly turned on a massive tap above my house bacuase of the amount of rain that was falling.
No I am talking about the wake up call from the 12-0 defeat in last night’s friendly.
As mentioned [...]

There was already a strong line up of friendlies arranged, but a call from the newly formed Castle Vale JKS youth team has resulted in a late notice additional game.
Their original opponents have dropped out, so we have agreed to fill in. It will be an interesting proposition, as it will become the first outing of the pre-season and against [...]

I visited the good old NHS today. It was a long standing appointment in regards to my ankle.
This time last year I had an arthroscopic debridement operation to clear out loose bone fragments and file down a spur. However the operation identified that I have little cartilage left on the joint.
Today’s visit was a bit [...]

Saturday saw the clubhouse get a lick of paint. The first I have seen it ever get and hence the first in at least six years.
Typically no players turned up to help out. Luckily the parents of the junior side showed more willing.
Virtually 75 litres of paint later, the clubhouse now sports a lovely shade [...]

Unfortunately I was unable to attend pre-season last night. Poor effort I know, but I had a prior commitment.
Hopefully there were more attendees. I certainly received fewer text messages offering apologies in advance. So that should mean more people there…..Or it could just mean that they couldn’t be bothered to even text this time!
So, if [...]

Since we are not in the pre-pre rounds of the UEFA cup and didn’t get an invite to the Emirates Cup or the Amsterdam tournament, I have started looking to arrange friendlies for the start of the season. So far we have:-
5 Aug – Shelfield
9 Aug – St Georges Warriors
12 Aug - Boldmere Oak
Probably look for [...]

As I previously posted, pre-season training kicked off on Thursday evening.
I might have guessed from the number of apologetic text messages I received during the day, that the turnout was not going to be overwhelming.
Guess what… it was not.
However saying that, there might not have been quantity, but there was some quality. Which is a [...]

It feels no time since the final game of last season, but it all starts again in only two days.
Pre-season training kicks off on Thursday at Rectory Park.
It will be interesting how many existing players will return. From the sounds of it, potentially a good number of new faces that will be turning up! Competition for [...]

Yes they do exist….The World Mountain Bike Bog Snorkeling Champsionships…… and I was there.
A bit of coincidence as I didn’t purposely go to Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys, Wales to see these championships, I was there for a cycling and hiking weekend, (you know, even us grassroots football managers need a break once in a while) but since I [...]
