Calling all fans of our own football team from some 1000 Km away as I live out my last few days here in the EU.
Once again I will be fed the blow by blow report of the game as it progresses.

Last weeks excellent performance was a fine way in which to play our first home game of the season and eased the wounds inflicted on us in the previous three matches .

The pitch has been mown and marked out so that we are all ship shape and ready for a good game . As seen here -- taken by a drone camera.

Pitch at present being cared for by ANSA -- a branch of the Cheshire East body under whom we still have to work as the moves continue for the playing field being in the total ownership of the village and the community . Moves that have been exceedingly slow with feet enmeshed in treacle rather than "fleet of foot" racing shoes!!

This current care by ANSA being part of the £480 we as a club have to pay over .

But – No more of the soap box oration .

We play this day a team now named Bridge Inn F C -- last season named Haslington FC -- and a good team too.
Very good referee in charge in the person of Keith Curzon who is always welcome here.

Manager Kev Mort has a good turn of 15 players again to choose the squad from for kick off.

12.06 1-6

12.39 1-9

A slaughter in the village . AFC lost and lost big!

And this is the team more or less that enjoyed such a fine victory last week. Chalk and cheese !!!!

End of the game and we invite the Bridge Inn team back to our own Bridge Inn for some repast and liquor as served again by Adam , our host there . May not be too many turning up !! Man of the Match as awarded by our opponents is Danny Mahoney .

Next match is last in September -- versus White Lion in the Presidents Cup
