Well the disappointment of yesterday afternoon wasn't going to overshadow events earlier in the day. Sorry to get all self indulgent here, but yesterday morning my boy was playing in the quarter final of the U8s cup away at Alphington - a good team who mullered us 10-4 at home earlier in the season. Anyway, the Brixington boys did themselves proud with a mighty 2-0 win to march on triumphantly into the semi-final. The game had everything: confident passing, crunching tackles, a desire to win the ball back if possession was lost, strong running, a never say die attitude and some cool finishing, as well as restricting the formidable Alphington front line to a couple of scuffed half chances.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that in light of recent capitulations at the Park, no less than five of the Brixington Blues team of ten were invited out to the Cat and Fiddle last Sunday for a brief training session and game against a team from St. Austell (natch the U8s won 3-0 and 2-1), under the watchful eye of Chris Vinnicombe, no less.
So I'd watch out if I were you Cronin, as it's only a matter of time before Alex puts the call out to Harry to step in and make that central midfield berth his own!
I know there are other dads on here whos lads play in the kids' league - how did/are they all doing?
