Sparkshop update atumun cup

It was a balmy evening in Wimborne despite the late kick off as we started the next incarnation of the 7 a side cup, the competition with no discernible format. We were in our first game whilst the quarter finals of the summer cup were in full swing and were pitched against the team we'd beaten 2 - 0 a few weeks previously.

Line up

DAVE in goal
DOUGIE DOM in defence
PHIL PETE MATT in the middle
RICH IAIN in attack

It was a very good game for us despite only winning 2 - 1 on the night which turned into a draw with the goal advantage the opposition started out with. They are the kind of team we were always well matched with in the past but we seem to have progressed and played some quality football at times, particularly in the first half.

Dave created the first goal with a quick release which set Rich free to set up Phil with a great pass. He smacked the ball in with confidence and was quick to return the favour with a superb ball after a strong run down the right bringing together a flowing move full of controlled passing. The ball played inside released Rich in the area and he kept his remarkable scoring record going with a neat finish to the far corner.

It's not always been the kind of football we've been associated with but there were some genuinely good moments which threatened more goals throughout the game. It was an unfortunate goal we conceded but it didn't really take the gloss off a fine performance.

Continuing the film reviews from last time with Inception, we went to see Toy Story 3 yesterday and it is just as good as the first two. Very funny in places with stand out performances from Mr Potato Head and Barbie and Ken. Having seen plenty of comparisons between Wayne Rooney and the animated vegetable, Mr Potato Head looks better than Wayne Rooney to be fair. He also had an equally effective World Cup.

Finally, have a look at stinkyriver.co.uk for a fine read full of detailed descriptions of new Matt's journey around Europe. If you enjoy castles, it's the place to go. There is a lot more to it than castles but they do get a few mentions.
