There were three football matches this morning, following some photos for the local newspaper. Gorse Fox must say that the photographer seemed to have some strange ideas. There was the tradition group shot, but that was followed by the whole group walking towards him dribbling the practise balls. We will have to see what they come up with.

In the first game, GF played his usual sweeper role. He was not having a good day, so after the first game he swapped and took up the goalkeeping duties. This was much better, and he kept a clean sheet whilst allowing the team to score a few goals of our own. The third game, however, was somewhat disastrous. Nobody on the team was playing defence, so everything funnelled in towards the Gorse Fox. Whilst he save quite a few, he also let a few in as they attacked in numbers and usually had one or two over. It's difficult closing down the angles when there is no cover.

At the end Gorse Fox admitted he had learned everything from watching Pat Jennings. Trouble is, that it was watching him play squash at Hoddesdon Squash Club, not playing in goal at WHL.
