F&W Coaches v orwell Vets

The Felixstowe and Walton coaches played a friendly match today against the Orwell Veterans. They are a bunch of has-beens who only play every 3 or 4 weeks. We on the other hand are a bunch of has-beens who play together once a year!!!

I wonder why we lost 4-1!

it was a good game under the circumstances. They played the better football which was to be expected as they all knew each others style of play etc. In our team we didn't know everyones names!! The ground also deserves a mention. Imagine playing on uneven concrete that's somehow a bit slippy! Not easy.

Unfortunately i was involved in the first goal. (theirs) Here's a tip for you. Don't call for the ball, then run away from it allowing the striker to steal it and run on and score! You make the player who passed (Namely Me!!) look foolish. I managed to find plenty of opportunities to make myself look foolish without anyones help!
It was nice to have a run out with the other coaches. next year I might even know a few more of their names.
