U8 v TS Sports – 1 October 2011

Fiz — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 12:05:12 +0000

On a scorching October morning, MR lined up against TS Sports for their second league match. We started brightly, Cam bursting through the TS defence 3 times. But on each occasion he thumped his shot straight into the keeper. After all the early promise, it was TS Sports who took the lead. Their corner taker [...]

No wonder the kids can’t spell!!

It brought home to me how little hope there is for the little ones in being literate and grammatically correct when I saw a spelling list provided by school – have a look and note the corrections provided by the teacher. I also like the way that correctly spelled ‘spring’ has been marked as incorrect!! [...]

U8 v Stretton Eagles – 24 September 2011

Fiz — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 17:57:13 +0000

This week also saw the first league run out for the newly formed under 8 team, who to their credit should actually be U7′s, but what’s a year between friends? After a mid week friendly against Albert Village, spirits were soaring after a 9-1 victory (played across 3 halves ….I’ve never quite got the hang [...]

U9 v TS Sports Villa – 24 September 2011

Fiz — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 19:59:34 +0000

The first of two match reports today and this weeks fixture against top of the table TS Sports Villa gave plenty to write about. From the start, it was destined to be a tough match with the Blacks seeing a Jake Hayward shot rebound off the crossbar within minutes of the kick off, followed by [...]

Zoz burger, anyone?

So it’s that time of year. The birthday stretch begins with LB’s (little Betts) birthday in just over a week and this year he has opted for a laser quest party. Easy on the stress levels (one day when I have recovered, I’ll post about the parties I have organised in the past…), less easy [...]

U9 v Rocester FC Blue – 17 September 2011

Fiz — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 10:43:47 +0000

A less than eagerly awaited fixture this week, after a recently friendly between the two teams resulted in a comprehensive win for Rocester (and Marlborough’s first ever goal with a great effort by Ronnie Colver). But as all good small print states, past performance is no indication of future performance, and it was clear that [...]

U9 v Chellaston Boys FC Red Sox 10 September 2011

Fiz — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 13:19:25 +0000

So here it is. The first match of the season – in fact the first league match ever for the Blacks. A nervous start for the Blacks saw an easy goal beating Tom Doran in his goalkeeping debut. 1-0 down within 5 minutes. This seemed to be all too familiar, but wait…..what’s that…..possession changed back [...]

No, not the lyrics to a top 40 hit. A new purpose for the site. The boys are growing up rapidly and have both recently ‘signed’ for a local club. Don’t be fooled by the ‘signed’ status – it just means I’ve had to fork out a few quid for the privilege of them training [...]

Back to school before they’ve even broken up

Fiz — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:12:31 +0000

Any parent of school age children knows that before they have even broken up, the shops are ramming ‘Back to School’ stuff down our throats – a bit like being able to buy Cadbury’s Creme Eggs once the Christmas cards have been removed from the shelves. If you’ve done this before, you’ll know all the [...]
