Sadly -- " rain stopped play".

Right up to Friday I was
able to crow that we , one of the few with a pitch still playable , we're all set to play our game.

Our opponents were set as Nantwich Young Farmers . A strong team with some very hard players, the most volatile of them out of the reckoning , having been banned for abusive behaviour to the referee.Which was a relief .

But – The constant rain on Saturday beat us!

Beaten by the tail end of Storm Desmond.
( Somehow "Dangerous Desmond" does not have
the ring of so fierce an element. Cannot see such a name in the Super Heroes
team!)

The pitch is far too soft to permit a decent game . And add to that
we also have a home tie next Sunday , the 20th as our last game of the year.
Better to try to let the pitch recover.

Sad too for we had a goodly number of players willing to turn out giving
manager Geoff Stretch the happy task of an easier team selection .
So we did not lose – Nor did we win.

Who knows what may have been?
