Sun 21st: Home v Farnham

(click on title for photos)
Big well done to everyone for excellent all round performances against Farnham on Sunday. To put this into context, Farnham is one of our traditional hammerings as a club, and talking to one or two of the coaches on Sunday, it was business-as-usual for most. We have never competed well in our age group against them, and for information, they have NEVER lost a festival they have competed in at this age group!

So:
* Our A team lost 0-2 to their A, beat their B 4-1, then drew with their A 1-1 (and they cut the game short when we were on top
* Our B team lost 1-3 to their A, beat their B 3-2, then beat their C 4-2.

So as you can see we really stood up well to their A team, then beat all the rest!

A couple of points;
* Winning isn't everything, but I'm delighted (as are all the coaches) that we have come on so much and are really competing with the best
* I am more pleased that we have real balance in our squads - if you look at the scores, we have real strength in depth and it is great that we don't have a real gap between teams, far from it (unlike Farnham and a few others who have a strong preference for A and B!

Re: Training. you will have seen from Pippa's note that Wed night training is on hold until end Feb. As well as it being cold and miserable, there is just too much uncertainty at the moment due to pitch conditions etc., and I want to maintain the momentum with the kids - constant disruption and cancellation leads to disappointment, which I want to try and avoid for now.

Cheers, Scott.
