Friday, August 8

Excellent committee meeting last night, some progress on issues such as drainage, end of season presentations and the like, but I just want to flag up one particularly amusing moment. Dickie and Cliff were talking about getting soil and sorting out the pitch at the end of the year, as normal. After about 10 minutes in-depth discussion of soils and so on, I said "so, we'll need about 100 bags then". At this point Cyril pipes up "What's in a bag?" There was a dramatic pause of about half a second and then, in unison, Scoop, Birdy and myself shouted "SOIL".

You had to be there!

Would also like to add for the record that there were some truly excellent one-liners about Cliff's exploding car as well!!

Good luck to everyone for the weekend, it's a very important couple of days, we need a win against Failsworth to avenge our dreadful capitulation earlier this season when we were well in control, and then on Sunday there's a cup final place to earn ... come on everyone!!! And good luck to the 2nds for their long haul to Greenfield!
