Green card for reflexs? and pidgeon meet the ball!

during the game on saturday scott robinson fell over and banged his knee in just the wrong point triggering his reflex's and extending his leg! his leg slightly caught the ball barely noticable and totally accidentle. the umpire stormed over took out her cards and carded him. :O

at a point in saturdays match dave colcomb asked for the ball and a perfectly executed pass at pace was played to him he failed to meet the ball giving it away! (mansfield flash backs for dave)

goal scorer?

silver fox afraid of green giant's green giant??

After a thrilling victory on saturday most of the team went for a victory shower! some sat and watched Ben 'its not an afro' eagles, while some just got stuck in! alan 'the green giant' hillstead, dave 'the pidgeon' colcomb and mat 'the slidetackle' wislon were all bonding in the showers when paul 'the silver fox' halfpenny wondered over to join the celebrations. a short distance from the showers he changed his mind claiming the was no available showers?? altho there was still one shower un-used something scared him away?? was it the team bonding? or was it the green giant's green giant??

Newark Get off to a Flyer

Captain Halfpenny and vice David Colcomb led out the men's 2's in there first match of the season against local rivals Grantham. According to the official match report the 2's lost captain Halfpenny sometime between the start of the match and halftime, which is very careless. If anyone has seen him please let the club know. He looks a bit like this. Despite it being the first game and misplacing there captain the 2's gelled well and on the whole the play was good throughout. Unfortunately I missed the first goal which was scored by young Ryan Foster but he did describe the goal for me apparently he picked the ball up top of Newark’s D took it down the left skinning 4 Grantham players cut inside where he left the 2 centre backs for dead pirouetted onto his reverse and smashed the ball top right in off the angle (the accuracy of this information cant be confirmed). The second half saw more Newark dominance and a characteristic goal from Pixars very own and a some silky skill and calm finish from 'Son of a Legend' Sam Smith. Grantham did pull one back but the game ended 3-1 and a well deserved win to kick start the season.

On review Coach Davies seemed pleased with the performance especially from those who played 3's last season and also hinted at her new found love of Columba livia domestica.

All Change At The Top For The New Season

The 09/10 season is fast approaching and the mighty 2's have a new captain at the helm to lead them in their quest for glory. The youthful, lightning quick Paul Halfpenny (this picture is an artists impression and is not an actual photo of Paul although i have been told it is remarkably accurate, thanks Sally.) has taken the rains and will be looking for a solid start in the 2's first friendly against Grantham on the 5th September.
