After a few weeks off due to Christmas and bad weather the boys got their football going again yesterday. Drew's team won easily 4-1 but Mike's team got their hides handed to them in a Cup match against a side from the top league. Mike came home in terrible mood, he was marking a big black lad playing up front whose only English was "pass" and "me score". Mike is a big lad, well over 6 foot but he said this "lad" was a foot higher, had a beard and (his exact words)anAdams Apple like a tennis ball. He gave my poor boy the worst working over he has had in some years. When they went up to challenge for a header this behemoth gave Mike a "nudge" and sent him flying ten yards!!

12-3 was the final score and like i say he was distraught. I gave him proper counselling. Learn from it, put it behind you and move onto next weeks game. Oh and get your coach to report the other team for playing men in an under 14's football game
