The best laid plans of mice and men were felled by the fall of quite alot of snow, this morning clearly demonstrating that the icy fingers of winter are still scratching games away from us, denying our 1st XI boys from getting a victory against Leek following last Sunday's Formby win and the terrific write up in today's programme, praising the efforts of the young Sparta and the veteran Wacka but it was a good team performance, as well.

We live to fight another day.

On a cold but lovely sunny Saturday it was good to see last week's 8-2 victims - our 3's - come back from two down and win 5-4, against the S17 gang who were ably led by the influential but bulky shape of the vet James Tasker. Worth watching despite the weather - the game that is.

Our 6's won but if it wasn't for the writer getting hot Bovril courtesy of Brookie and meeting the very charming young Emma (aka Hallam) - who hopefully might join us next season - who was busy taking snaps of her fella - Ball Boy - but then found her battery had died on her, the pitch entertainment was hard work. No doubt the 19 stone figure of Pecker (almost hiding in the bushes) and the lithe but not match fit Beahan, making his long awaited return, both also found as much. Still, the guys' win keeps them away from the drop zone. This observer's view is lots of skill on the park but need to do the basics and play as a TEAM.

Our lovely ladies dipped for the second week running 6-4, having once again led. Deja Vu or what? Scoring 4 = win bonuses? Next game is at home so we MUST be there for them, in spades. Frustration from Christina spilled out all over the bar - good job she wasn't buying but did I get charged twice for her V&O?

If you are a "100" Club member and you take the time to read this, visit the apposite results section to see if you have won anything, in the Jan/Feb draws.
Fingers X-ed for better weather this week so the frustrations of this weekend can be banished at training and in the games.
