Sunday 25th January 2009 - Home against Haselmere RFC

Rain on Friday, dry Saturday and heavy rain during the night. No cancellation message from the club, the ground must be ok!.

On arriving there were large pools of water and puddles everywhere. The U14s have already cancelled, what a great ideal, to late for us as Haselmere were on their way.

Moving from the training pitch to pitch 1 and finally to pitch 2, there’s must be a dry spot, I think not!.

‘I called the cancellation number six times’ I heard someone say – don’t worry most of us had the same thoughts as well!. It was going to be another wet and cold day for both the Camberley and Haselmere players.

Haselmere turned out with about twenty players, considering the conditions (must have better drainage over there).

Richard had prompted the move to the best possible bit of playing area and marked out ready for the fixture with Haselmere. George was running about through all the deep puddles – “my feet are wet” he said – What a surprise!.

Richard, Adrian, John and Alan were at hand, with the Haselmere coaches kept the players moving during the training. This lead to games after the warm up and passing drills. It all came to an end a little earlier so the players could get off home to warm up. Was that George throwing himself across the floor – mud caked to his shirt and tracksuit trousers. He stood there frozen to the spot “I’m cold” he said. You must be walking home!. Gordon any ideas?.
