On Saturday morning Glen was at football training followed by our visit to Dean Court to watch Bournemouth play Yeovil in a relegation battle which truly matched that billing. Despite the generally poor football, the Cherries were the better of the two teams and were worthy one nil winners. I took a few photos of the action including a sedate Bournemouth crowd living up to the widespread stereotype of what residents of the area should be and some goalmouth action.
One of the Bournemouth defenders looks rather similar to long serving defender Paul otherwise known as 'Arn' complete with ponytail. Adam Griffiths is Australian though and has never been caught tying his ponytail back in place from a free kick leading to a goal for the opposition unlike Paul.
Rossgarth had their league champions decider yesterday and it turned out not to be the decider as the sides contested everything in a drawn match. Rossgarth took the lead not long after half time with a goal from Tom and had one or two other chances to score again although the closest came from a speculative shot from outside the area which glanced the top of the bar before going out for a goal kick.
Chickerell played well too and equalised deservedly from a scrappy corner which was aloowed to bounce through. There were few chances for them to claim a winner despite the closing minutes being dominated by them. The draw was a fair result and means Rossgarth are two points clear with one game for each side to come. Both teams are assured of a top two finish at least.
It was a much better game to watch and enjoy than the Bournemouth game the day before.
