In honour of our Lionesses, we headed to AFC Heathham House Youth Centre this evening with one goal in mind: to beat the brambles and win the day for scratch-free training and ball retrieval!
This was the second half replay for our match against the weeds after our visit at the beginning of the month. We had made the most of the half time chat and came out prepared with long sleeves this time so that noone would fall foul of the scratches.
Following a classic 4-4-2 formation (four runners, four meeting at the task and unfortunately two who could no longer make it), the task started with some exciting news as the Manager revealed the latest club signings: new gardening tools. The crowd roared!
Loaded with the new tools to strike down the brambles, half the team headed straight to defend the goal area from vines and bushes while the other half hit the left wing to cut the opposition brambles down to size.
Nothing can be substituted for hard work and an energetic 45 minutes of action ensued with the undergrowth beaten to the ground and a five bin bag lead at full time.
Highlights of the match can be seen above. Golden Boot went to Chris who went on to celebrate his birthday after the task, another year in the net!
