Brackley Bounceback
A team of seven, a pitch full of daisies, 4 crocked ankles, one bang in the face... yep, the Brackley game was a fitting way to end our season. In the first game, we took the lead through a Ben strike, failed to close down well enough to concede the equalizer and lost to a soft winner. The boys fought but were outmuscled by a strong Brackley bunch who were protected by a novice (his words) ref. Final score: 2-1
We didn't plan on playing a second game but we did, albeit a shortened one. With the coaches leaving it to the boys to sort positions, they went on to put in one of the best performances of the season. Will and Adam defended well, Rory tore up the midfield, Toby and Ben raided the flanks and Fyn kept a clean sheet in goal. But the real revelation was Henry who was Andy Carrol-esque in the way he terrorized the Brackley back line... scoring 2 goals and setting up a beauty for Ben off Will's good run. Other goals from Rory and a rocket from Adam sealed a 5-0 thrashing and made Tim and Dave redundant.
Player of the Week: Muller!

End of Season Update
With one game left to play (Brackley April 30th) our season is drawing to a close. But there's still plenty to focus on. We are entered into 3 tournaments (Tower Hill, Crowmarsh and Summertown - please see Tim's emails for details) and we're trying to arrange an 11-a-side fixture. We're also hosting our presentation ceremony at The Closes on May 14th so get your votes in for Players' Player and Parents' Player.
Finally, the new kit has arrived courtesy of RCM Roofing Abingdon. Thanks to Russell for agreeing to be our new sponsor and to Laurinda for arranging everything. The kit will be handed out at an upcoming tournament. Boys will be allocated their existing number and if they wish to swap, they'll have to arrange it themselves. Josh and Lucas (our new boys) will be allocated one of the spare numbers.
I'd also like to thank Paul Carter and WG Carter for their sponsorship over the last 3 years. It was originally a 2 year deal but we squeezed an extra year out due to the size of the shirts!
