Grafton and Haringey















Just a quick note to say thanks to Thorney  for taking temporary charge of the team.(A futile gesture i know. He will never read this)
 The last 2 games have been really enjoyable, mainly because of the hard work and great team spirit shown. This positive attitude was exemplified by Baz and Hairy Cornflake's goalkeeping performances. Baz  showed great strength of character to recover from Bouncegate  and put in a terrific display against Grafton. Against  Haringey Hairy Cornflake  pulled off a series of brilliant saves to keep us in the game.
 We could and probably should have held onto our lead against Grafton , but against Haringay i think 3-6 is a more than respectable scoreline. Sitting in Steve's van before the Haringey game, we watched one  young, fit  Haringey player after another walk through the stadium gates, carrying worryingly expensive  looking boots. Haringey were as talented as they looked but didn't work out how to play against us for almost an hour. By half time we we'd raced into a lead, Mes and Luis  showing the Haringey strikers how it should be done. Although we had a good lead, it felt like we had a tiger by the tail. Shortly after half time we let go, and the inevitable followed. Still, it was a great workout and i think most people enjoyed their evening's work.  Next match is against my work team, Southside*. Not a patch on Haringey. Last time you beat us 8-4. My best advice is for the Accies to get complacent and take victory  for granted....
