Never thought we'd play again ! ... 7th December - postponed... 14th December.. postponed... 21st December.. we played one game.. 4th Jan... postponed... 11th Jan - postponed... and after Saturday night's
ridiculous downpour, my optimism for kicking off the season took a damper, and I was feeling a little downtrodden with the thought of postponing yet another week... but.. no, the pitches were actually playable ! Hallegoddamnluyah! And I have to say, when I got there and smelt the wet grass, and saw the pitches, I felt like i'd arrived home.. I know it sounds stooopid.. but that smell.. i reminisced that Apocalypse Now scene, when the Sky Captain refers to the smell and how it conjurs up feeling of victory.. and felt a similar pang in my heart and soul.. aaah that smell took me back :-) ENOUGH.
So, scores..
Madras 0 Loko 3
Barnes 0 WKK 0
Hendrix 1 Lisbarnes 4
Groovers 9 Bob 2
Celtic 7 Bloods 1
Which means that Lisbarnes have now taken top dog position in the league. WKK are 1 point behind.. Well done the Barnes for setting ur seasonal record of not losing against the WKK! I believe that is a correct statement.. Great score for the Groovers.. not so good for the Bobs, but I am very happy to still have them in our Barnesalona midst, as it was touch and go that they would still be around., at the latter end of 2008. Nice one Terry ! And Celtic have 2 games in hand which means they are still very much in the top of the table mix if they win all their games.
One small comment. Lets turn up before kick off time.. this applies to those who don't obviously.. there are many other people who turn up on time, and want to kick off on time. Players and refs alike. Lets respect that shall we ! :-)
We have our final cup round games next weekend.. still positions to play for.. watch this space. Unless we have to postpone... IT WON"T HAPPEN... fate is now tempted.. please be good on us weather.. 'n all that.
