BREAKING NEWS: Milesy's back !

After Trevor's meetings with Jose Mourinho were sensationally revealed in this Thursday's Daily Star, leading to speculation that we might have a change of manager, Milesy returned to the table. Talks with the Oaks Ath hierarchy were on-going, until they made a breakthrough at around 17.15 this afternoon. The Captain received a text message stating that "I will be there Sunday, as Manager." There was widespread relief throughout the squad upon hearing this news and they are said to be looking forward to another season with Milesy in charge.

Asda 2 Vs Oaks Athletic 6

A very frustrating first half saw us concede two goals before half time, so at the break we were 2-1 down. The two goals were down to two mistakes by our defence (-yeah, sorry about that lads, nobody's perfect) and their forward did finish well. To be honest, if it was any of the other Asda players, I think we would have been one nil up at half time.
It proved to be an even more frustrating interval, as Milesy (the manager) decided that he'd had enough and walked off, leaving us without a manager. It was down to us, as a team, to get back out there and turn it around. I was very proud of all of them as they showed a lot of character second half, netting five good goals in the process, keeping a clean sheet and not making any more costly mistakes.
We need to go into this weeks game showing that we can play like we did second half last sunday, and if we do that, we'll do ourselves some justice out there and give ourselves a fighting chance of another three points.

Sunday 30th sept: Belhus Park 09.30 meet, 10.30 k.o.

PLEASE COME BACK MILESY - WE NEED YOU BACK IN THE HOTSEAT

First Game of The Season Called Off !

A representative from the Thurrock Sunday League called today's match off due to there being GLASS on the pitch. We're not talking about a couple of broken bottles here, this is a major problem that Thurrock District Council have on their hands. Council Chiefs have put the wheels in motion for each home-owner in Thurrock to have "Recycling Training." This will involve home-owners receiving training of how to put empty bottles or jars into their BLUE boxes, and then putting them out on the right day for collection. Or, on the other hand, STOP SMASHING UP GLASS ON THE FOOTBALL PITCHES YOU W***ERS! Then the council could spend the tax-payers money on something useful for once.
Anyway, we managed to find a small area on the heath that you could actually see the grass and held an impromptu training session. Which was nice.

There will be training on Thursday 20th sept at 18.30 at Blackshots.

The first game of the season will now be Sunday 23rd Sept at Torrels school - 09.30/09.45 meet. 10.30 k.o.

Deano mentioned sorting out some indoor training for the winter months. If he does sort this out for the team, I would like a better response than when I last hired a sports hall..........Everyone has to pay their way in order for this to work ok.
