Rain Stops Play - And Other Updates!

Rain Stops Play

Sunday's match at West Liss has been called off.

Water polo anyone?

The home side's groundsman called the match off on Friday afternoon, as the waterlogged pitch would be unplayable.  Manager Carl Waterfield was working with his opposite number at West Liss to get the game moved to Chawton's Binsted ground, but the Parish Council also ruled Binsted Rec as unplayable too.  The fixture will now have to be rearranged for later in the year - although not likely to be the free weekend on 30th January, as there is already a full fixture list.

In place of the match, there will now be compulsory training at Anstey Park.  This will begin at 10am and anybody who had made themselves available for the match is expected to attend.  Training should be finished by the time Man Utd and Liverpool kick off... for those desperate to watch the "professionals"* play...!


Player Profiles

The website has player profiles, some of which already include pictures.  The camera is at every match for those who don't have their picture up, and profile shots will be taken if the weather is dry.  A new team picture for this season will also be taken soon, when we have a good turn out at a (dry) home match.

Regarding the written profiles, could all players email the manager at sabrewulf7@yahoo.com with any interesting football related info to put on their profiles, along with any previous (or current Saturday) clubs.  The website is getting quite a few hits, so the club wants to use both the website and blog as much as possible!


Kit - Financial Constraints!

The club is, as has been previously mentioned, wanting to get a new kit in time for next season.  Discussions are currently ongoing with various parties regarding a sponsorship deal, but the club is owed some £300 by players.  Would all players who owe money please ensure they are up to date by the end of January.  This impacts the club financially, as well as shows a bit of disrespect to those who pay their dues.
