Wet & Windy Weekend...

Storm Dennis rolls in and bang goes our Saturday of football vs Stansted. Conditions prevented the possibility of practice, so there was only one thing for it... an impromptu team meeting where the Gaffer held court for the last time this week discussing the semi-final victory and the final yet to come.

In order to break the nervousness, tension and endless refusal to debate much past our next league game, beers were ordered, players' wives were spoken to and sharing platters of chips, chicken and cod goujons were ordered.

Then in a moment of de-ja-vu, we were challenged to game of sudden death, winner-takes-all competition, not unlike the penalty shootout vs May & Baker last weekend but this time it was Beer Pong. The Gaffer selected his chosen few, fuelled them with Oranjeboom instead of oranges and told them to do their best. It was history-repeating-itself, with Johnny "My house has got a moat" Crocker dunked his drop shot in to the drink to break the duck. Ev', DD, Bumble & Woodsy all stepped up to the plate to perfect a performance that once again to give White Roding 45s an unassailable 3-0 victory. Based on the Invincibles' unbeaten showing, the Gaffer now has much thinking to do concerning who should be left on the pitch, if the game against Springfield reach 120mins at Aveley We cannot change the weather, but can make the most of it and whilst it was not football it certainly helped foster team spirit... but can we please play a game of football soon please... we have 8 games left, running out of weekends and struggling to find a 3G pitch that we can utilise when the water gets too much.
