I even managed to persuade one of the youngsters to try the Moorhouses 'Pride of Pendle' which I was also drinking. He really enjoyed it too.....
I have to say that it was in first class condition!Well done to Gilly!
I was out all day cycling and got pretty wet in some of the quite heavy showers so in the end I am not surprised that the match was called off. Anyway the decision helps to preserve the condition of the pitch which is essential to our style of passing game.

I was out cycling myself Choirboy in the rain, and will be tomorrow, doing 60 odd miles. They mollycoddle these footballers too much these days, but i take your point about our passing game.
