I'll start the ball rolling then.

Slip 2 Thornbury 1

Tough game. Missing quite a few from last week's heroics (5 I think), we started quite well for the first 10 mins, but then Thornbury got stronger and stronger. They prob should have scored earlier than when they did a couple of minutes before ht.

Second half kicked off and we won a free kick immediately after a heavy Thornbury touch at the back. Cross in was flicked on and fell to debutant Paul Francis who stuck it away. Gave us confidence, and I think we probably edged the 2nd half, although either team could have won. In the end it was in the 90th minute when I managed to turn in a header from a corner. Still time for a couple of scares and near misses in injury time.

Hard fought win, and credit to TBC who played pretty well, especially the first half. Now just waiting to hear the SAS and Pips results to see if we're still top.....

Grace Church 7 - Hillfields Res 2

SAS 6 - 2 Woodies

Goals:
Dorney x 2
Brady x 3
Sinclair x1
[Woodies goals both from Ben Mitchell]

Despite missing up to 6 players from our squad, we looked really good today...maybe even the best I've seen us play for 45 mins or so.

For me, without a doubt dropping Josh M into a holding midfield role was the key difference - for a change we looked organised all over the pitch and that in turn led to everyone individually raising their game.
Also good to know the squad we have can cope with weeks like this with so many missing.

The boss (Nathan) is on honeymoon at the moment, but he should definitely be happy when he gets back to hear we've taken 6 points from our first two games

Need to give a shout to Brady too for his hat-trick, in particular the +30yard rocket he unleashed in the second half!

Ben M up front for them looked as decent as ever - he was given 2 chances (unfortunately for us they were given to him by us, again!) and took them both very well.

Alright Chappell... Easy!

The joys of modern technology has meant that I've been managing the team Arsene Wenger like from the 'stands' (or should that read 'balcony'!) except my boys are playing better than his! Dead chuffed with the boys and JC and Matty for looking after affairs in my absence. I've already offered my resignation!

I mentioned to the new Mrs James that 6 points has been one of the highlights of the honeymoon and now she's not talking to me! Off to recover the situation... Wish me luck!

I left my 41-week pregnant wife on our wedding anniversary to go and play this morning. A bunhc of flowers bought on the way home, and she's all smiles.

Racing Santos 1-5 Suburbs

Glad to get another win today, Santos played some good football but they were down to 10 men in the first half as their captain got sent off for handling the ball on the line! It was like Luis Suarez's at the world cup!

I don’t feel we played that well but we took our chances..

Mitch Hayward, Mike Duggan, Steve Thomas and James Weir were our goal scorers and the other was an own goal.

Nathan Redshaw scored with his head? How rubbish are Thornbury?

It's amazing what a nice bunch of flowers can do! All the best with the impending birth Nathan.

Powerhouse 5 - 3 Bristol Pistols
A nightmare game with the wind and our small pitch causing problems. We looked to be in total control after going 2-0 ahead but a couple of silly mistakes defending allowed Pistols to stay in the game. The second half started scrappy but we eventually made our superiority tell and pulled away with a couple of quick goals. Some tough challenges left its mark as one of our guys had to go to hospital after the game.
