Old Hunstanton football Club

   WE PUT ON A POOR DISPLAY AGAINST A TEAM WHO ARE NO BETTER THAN US BUT WORKED TWICE AS HARD AND FULLY DESERVED TO BEAT US   BUT AFTER THE EFFORTS OF THE LAST FEW WEEKS I CANT COMPLAIN TO MUCH  THE DISSAPOINTING THING IS AT TRAINING THE LADS WERE LOOKING AWESOME BUT WE DIDNT BRING ANY OFT THAT WORK WITH US TO THE GAME BUT NEVER MIND MANU LOST AS WELL

  ARRIVING AT WEST WINCH WITHOUT HARVEY AND BROKEN ARM VICTIM KP WAS BAD ENOUGH  BUT WHEN OUR KEEPER WAS RULED OUT WITH A HAND INJURY  IT COULDNT GET WORSE BUT THE REST OF MY LADS SHEW WHY I DO THIS JOB BY BATTLING FOR EVERY BALL IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS THOUGH AFTER  PLAYING AGAINST THE STRONG WIND AND HAIL IN THE FIRST HALF SAW THE WIND DRO TO A BREEZE FOR THE HOME SIDE IN THE SECOND HALF 
  WE HELD A RAFFLE TO SEE WHO WOULD  PLAY IN GOAL AND RATTY LOST BUT HE DID AN EXELLENT JOB WHICH WAS NO SUPRISE TO ME AS HE HAS A BIG HEART  THE HOME SIDE HAD LENTY OF BALL BUT DIDNT LOOK LIKE SCORING AND IT TOOK   A  PEN AND A FLUKE AND A SHOT AFTER AN ERROR  TO PUT US 3 BEHIND BUT WE STILL MANAGED TO PULL A GOAL BACK WHEN SKI SCORED AFTER CALLUM KNOCKED A GOOD FREE KICK IN TO THERE BOX   THE SECOND HALF SEE US PLAY OUR PART IN AN ENTERTAINING GAME EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NO SUBS AND BEGAN TO TIRE WE TACKLED ANYTHING THAT MOVED AND TO SUM US UP AS THE WHISTLE BLEW WE HAD SPENT THE LAST FEW MINUTES HAVING CHANCES TO SCORE WHICH WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE SCORELINE A FAIRER LOOK   NO MAN OF THE MATCH AS EVERY LAYER DESERVED A MEDAL FOR GIVING THERE ALL AGAINST A TEAM WE WOULD HAVE BEATEN WITH A FULL SQUAD  WELL DONE LADS  PROUD TO TRAIN YOU  WE WISH KP A SPEEDY RECOVERY  AND  I HOPE TO BRING HIM TO   AWAY GAMES WHEN ZOE ISNT AWAY PARTYING   

   MY U12S  PUT IN A MAGNIFICENT EFFORT TO MAKE IT 3 WINS IN A ROW AND 3 CLEAN SHEETS TO GO WITH IT  AGAINST A GOOD SIDE WHO PLAYED THE GAME THE RIGHT WAY AND  CREATED ENOUGH CHANCES TO FEEL A BIT UNLUCKY   WE HAD HARVEY BEN AND LIAM   BACK  WHICH MADE IT A LOT EASIER FOR ME
WE STARTED   WELL AND HAD A COUPLE OF HALF CHANCES BUT THE AWAY SIDE THEN GOT ON TOP AND WE DEFENDED WELL  AND THEN BROKE WITH CHAY SENDING  HARVEY AWAY WHO SCORED WITH A CLASS FINISH BOTH SIDES THEN HAD CHANCES BUT BOTH KEEPERS AND THERE DEFENDERS  WERE ON FORM  THE SECOND  HALF WAS FULL OF GOOD FOOTBALL FROM BOTH SIDES AND WE NEEDED A SECOND GOAL  WE HIT THE BAR THROUGH HARVEY BUT KEIRAN SETTLED THE GAME WITH A COOL FINISH  SO A GOOD WIN WHICH WE  NEEDED BADLY AS WE HAVE SOME TOUGH GAMES AHEAD  BUT WITH THE EFFORT THE LADS  ARE PUTTING IN  WE WILL GIVE ANY TEAM A GAME  THANKS TO SKIP FOR GETTING OUT OF BED TO TAKE THE WHISTLE

    WELL THIS WAS OUR BEST EVER RESULT AS WE ONLY HAD TEN MEN  AND  GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT TACTICALLY AND THOUROUHLY DESERVED OUR WIN  WITH EVERY PLAYER  GIVING THERE ALL WE STARTED WELL AND HAD PLENTY OF THE BALL  WITH TOBY AND JOE TAKING TURNS TO STEP OUT TO HELP THE MIDFIELD WE
 LOOKED SOLID JACK AND RYAN KEPT THERE WINGERS QUIET  WITH GOOD PERFORMANCES     THE MIDFIELD 3 OF DAMON KP AND CALLUM   WERE MORE THAN A MATCH FOR THE HOME TEAMS FOUR PLAYERS ALFIE PLAYED LIKE 2 MEN WITH HIS WORKRATE STANDING OUT AND AS EVER CHAY NEVER GAVE UP AND AS THE GAME WENT ON DID A STINT IN MIDFIELD AS WELL AND AS USUAL ALEX DID SOME GOOD WORK IN OUR GOAL THE SECOND HALF STARTED WITH OLD TOWN GIVING THE BALL AWAY CHEAPLY AND IT LOOKED LIKE OUR FIRST HALF EFFORTS WERE ABOUT TO CATCH UP WITH US BUT KP WENT THROUGH FOR A ONE ON ONE AND EVEN THOUGH THE KEEPER GOT A HAND TO HIS EFFORT IT ROLLED INTO THE NET  WE THEN WERE AWARDED A PEN WHICH KP LASHED HOME TO PUT US 2 UP FOR THE REST OF A GOOD GAME OF FOOTBALL WE DEFENDED AS OUR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT EVEN IF THERE WAS SOME SCARY MOMENTS SO WELL DONE LADS ON A PERFORMANCE  IN WHICH EVERY PLAYER MADE ME PROUD TO BE THERE MANAGER CANT GIVE ONE PLAYER THE MAN OF MATCH SO THE FOLLOWING ALL SHARE IT  ALEX - JACK-RYAN-TOBY-JOE-ALFIE-KP-DAMON-CALLUM-CHAY    

         ON A WET DAY OLD TOWN GOT BACK TO PLAYING A PASSING GAME AND WERE REWARDED WITH A GOOD WIN WITH THE RAIN IN OUR FACES WE STARTED WELL AND PUSHED THE AWAY SIDE BACK  WE CREATED SOME GOOD CHANCES AND MOVED THE BALL WELL  FROM FRONT TO BACK HALF TIME CAME WITH US 5 UP WISH WAS A GOOD REWARD FOR OUR PLAY  THE SECOND HALF STARTED POORLY  FOR US WHEN WE WASTED A LOT OF BALL BUT WE CONTINUED TO DOMINATE A SIDE WHO NEVER GAVE UP WE MATCHED THE FIRST HALF AND SCORED 5 MORE GOALS   THANKS TO KARL FOR REFFING AND DARRON WITH HELP WITH THE GOALS AND TO THOSE IN THE HUT AND ONCE AGAIN FOR CHAIRMAN BOB

                                        OLD TOWN LOST A GAME WHERE BOTH SIDES WERE A CREDIT TO THERE CLUBS PLAYING AGAINST A VERY GOOD SIDE WHO PLAY FOOTBALL THE RIGHT WAY THE CROWD WERE TREATED TO A BRILL GAME OF FOOTBALL WE LOST DAMON AND JOE EARLY  BUT THE LADS RESPONDED WITH A GOOD EFFORT WE WERE ALWAYS BEHIND BUT SCORED SOME GOOD GOALS AND IN THE END WERE CLOSE TO GETTING A DRAW   BUT LITCHAM WERE WORTHY WINNERS AND WE WISH THEM WELL IN THERE SEASON  SCORERS FOR OLD TOWN WERE JOSH WITH 2 KP AND RATTY (I THINK)
OLD TOWN WISH THE LITCHAM LAD WHO HURT  HIS ARM A  SPEEDY RETURN TO ACTION

                       FLITCHAM AND HILL 5  V  4  OLD TOWN
 OLD TOWN GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED IN A ENTERTAINING GAME  WHERE THE HOME SIDE PUT ON A GOOD PERFORMANCE WHICH WE COULDNT MATCH WE WERE SECOND BEST ALL OVER THE PITCHAND TO MANY PLAYERS LOOKED LIKE THEY JUST DIDNT WANT TO  PUSH THEMSELVES  AND RAN OUT OF STEAM  
  WE KEPT COMING BACK AT  THE HOME SIDE BUT WE NEVER GOT ON TOP AND WITH THE HOME SIDE WORKING THERE SOCKS OFF WE COULDNT GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO OUR OPPONENTS WHO BROKE DOWN OUR WINGS AT WILL AND WITH OUR MARKING NON EXIXENT WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO LOSE BY MORE  
BUT AS THIS WAS A PRE SEASON GAME WE CAN LEARN FROM THIS AND I AM SURE WE WILL BOUNCE BACK     AND WHEN WE GET BACK TO A MUCH BETTER ATTITUDE TO HARD WORK WE WILL BE OK
