              Dean
Subs-  Simon (Dan), Andy J (Lee), Barry (Luke), Steve (Anthony) Charlie GK

You may have noticed that Charlie is down to be between the posts for the last part of the second half. He has told me that he would like to be an understudy to Anthony so I thought I could have a look at him in a match hence the formation at the end of the game.

A fantastic effort last week lads. Remember that winning feeling and let's have another helping of it tomorrow!! 

Beaujolais Fun Boys- 14/4/16

Please find below the team for tomorrow's match-      

            Anthony
Andrew D. Barry.  Phil A
                 Lee
Dan      Pasch Andy J     Steve
               Sam
               Scott
Subs- Stuart (Phil A), Tremayne (Scott), Luke (Barry)

           Anthony
Barry    Luke     Stuart
              Lee
Dan.    Andy J Phil A  Steve
              Tremayne
               Scott
Subs- Pasch (Andy J), Sam (Tremayne), Andrew D (Lee)

It is a change of formation intended to provide both stability defensively with Lee playing in front of the defence pressuring the opposition's forwards and mopping up any scraps; Dan and Steve tracking back and pushing forward offensively and Sam given some freedom to create in the classic Number 10 role.
It also relies on Dan and Steve to support both the defence and the attack so I hope that you have both had your weetabix tomorrow.

Spectacular Sparta!

Those of us who went to see the mighty Sparta Rotterdam in September will be delighted to learn that they have just secured promotion to the Dutch Eredivisie after 6 years in the second tier.  Obviously our chanting and encouragement spurred them on to greatness!  If the mighty Excelsior stay up, there will be THREE Rotterdam teams in the top league next season.  Terrific!  Here's a photo of the pitch shortly after the team won promotion (photographer: our friend Edwin who was there on the night!)…
