Thoughts

Today we welcome the players, officials and supporters of Bishops Lydeard
to ‘The Lane’ a place they haven’t visited for some time due to the blasted
pandemic. We have had some excellent games against them in the past
with honours fairly even, but this season, they, like us, haven’t had the best
of starts.

Despite playing well it appears that the Gods have yet to smile on ourselves
and small errors have been pounced on by our opposition whilst on more
than one occasion the opposition goalkeeper seems to have a charmed life
and manages to stop our efforts with occasionally some odd parts of his
body. Let’s hope that today marks a change to our fortunes and we get the
win our play has definitely deserved.

At a risk of stating the obvious, please use the various hand gels provided
and try and keep a distance from others around you so that you don’t get
‘pinged’ by the NHS App. We all know that Covid is far from finished and the
more sensible we are the better chance we have of competing the whole
season this time.

Lets hope for a well contested contest today and whatever the score, let’s
all enjoy the game and remember to accept the Referee’s judgement
whether we agree or not, as with-out officials we could not play the game...

As we all say #Up the Phones

As always I look forward to having a drink (or two) with you all in the bar
after (Socially distanced, of course), and you can find me in the kitchen
providing tea’s, coffee’s, pasties and pies during the game. Come and look
me up!
