Sunday 21st December 2008 - Home training
A dry chilly morning. Better than last weekend where you needed a boat to get to the clubhouse – matches cancelled due to waterlogged pitches.

Today is the last training session before Christmas. Tim arrived dressed as Santa, he looked the part especially as he had been up most of the night. Certainly outgrown that one!

Looking around the playing area there were red images everywhere as coaches got into the festive spirit. I’m sure the bar will be busy later!.

The players started to arrive, with Andy setting out the training. Shortly joined by Tim, Richard and Adrian.

Starting off with running about and the first game involving kicking the ball over the post to score points. The morning was very eventful with the players kept very busy. Cops and robbers certainly got then moving and passing well – otherwise they ended up in JAIL - What a quiet Christmas that would be! The coaches were running about too – well that lasted about 30 second - Ok then, a minute!.

Richard unwrapped sets of new red and yellow vest. The players were split into two teams for matches at the end of the training. A very entertaining and enjoyable session to watch with good support from all the parents.

Tim congratulated the players at the end of training and duty bound as ‘Santa’ a bar of chocolate for all – or more in some cases. A great first half to this season.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
