Another disappointing result for Leighton.

I'm just happy to see all those games got played ?

[View from the Boundary]

I would have been happy with one postponement ? Family emergency meant I missed my first game since Kingstonian away, and missed all but 1 game before that recovering from surgery so wasn't at Salamis for the other 10-0 either. As soon as I saw my old work colleague Matt Bateman's name on the teamsheet I feared the worst, he's a top lad and knows where the goal is. Watch us go and give Risborough a right good go on Saturday now ?

The surprise result this evening:

Hadley v Broadfields United 7-1

Following Saturday's miserable effort at distant Fakenham, it was back to the usual routine for Hadley, although in this case BU made it absurdly easy for them with some suicidal defending.  Indeed, to call it 'schoolboy defending' would be disrespectful to schoolboys everywhere.

Goals on 6, 11, 13 and 20 meant that once again the contest was over well before half-time, with all four goals down to ridiculous defensive errors.  The BU coaching staff were so displeased that they wouldn't allow the team the comforts of the dressing room at the interval, but instead made them all sit down at one of the corner flags and listen to a lecture on their inadequacies.

This may have had some effect, as BU perked up a little, and pulled a goal back on 48 minutes.  The enthusiasm didn't last however, and further goals for Hadley followed on 54, 66 and 75.  On to round three...

Broadfields are a decent side, and are capable of much better than this, although, as someone nearby was heard to remark, 'If you don't start bloody playing until you're bloody 4-0 down then it's going to be a bloody long season'.

And who could possibly argue with that ?

   

Regular readers will know that I am not normally one to deal in idle gossip, but this evening I heard something that may be of interest.

At Silver Jubilee Park, (Hendon U18s 1 Woodford Town U18s 7), I learned that quite recently, following some ill-judged and offensive remarks about his fellow committee members, the esteemed GRS67, formerly of this parish, was informed that he is no longer welcome at Edgware Town FC.  It is believed that he is now gracing Rayners Lane FC with his presence.

Ah well, life goes on...

Agamemnon3 - From what I understand GRS67's painstaking work wasn't being appreciated at Edgware Town and, following some tame (not offensive) remarks he was, not for the first time, unfairly informed that he was not welcome at the Club he loves and has followed since a boy. As you appropriately pointed out, he is now gracing high flying Combined Counties League Division One Rayners Lane and has been welcomed with open arms at Tithe Farm, he has already transformed the Club's social media side beyond all recognition:

Offensiveness is, of course, in the eye, (and ear), of the beholder.

GRS, whatever else he is, is a resilient soul.  He will be fine.
