For the first time in recent years we had a full complement of players available on match day. This enthusiasm for getting to the game was transferred on to the pitch where the whole squad played with enthusiasm, pace, skill and may I say enjoyment. All players contributed to an excellent TEAM performance. It is early days but this game gives us a high base from which to work from so long as we keep up the numbers and attitude to training. Remember this season is all about an upward curve.

Many thanks to Winnigton Park for setting up the fixture at short notice and their hospitality on the day.

And finally a number of parents would like to know what Emirul had for breakfast - great work rate.
