| The 1st X1 made a great start to the season
beating league newcomers Dudley Knights 8-0. A seven goal thriller
against Kynoch came next. Unfortunately we lost out 4-3. A spirited
performance against Leamington resulted in another narrow defeat by 2-1.
A 4-4 draw away against Oswestry was fair reward for a long journey.
Other results have not always reflected the effort put in. However, a
2-0 victory against Rugeley just before Christmas gave the team a boost.
The
youngsters drafted into the team are enduring a steep learning curve,
but showing great promise. At the half way stage of the league
campaign the team has more points that the same stage last season.
Progress!! To date, the 2nd X1 Fathom side has only played
six games but has had six others cancelled mainly through other teams not
fulfilling their fathom commitments. Very frustrating!! The four victories to date include a 10-0 win against Cannock 9ths!
The Badgers started well, undefeated in their
first three games, but then stumbled with four defeats without scoring a
single goal, before recovering with two more victories. At least they
have played almost every week and can reflect satisfactorily on a 50%
record.
The u12s lost their opening match against Kings
Heath but had 14 players turn up for a 7 a-side game. Plenty to choose
from at least! A 40% return so far reflects plenty of effort and
enjoyment.
