9 of the club’s finest gentlemen made the trip to Pompey for the 6th match of the season (and my 4th match of the week, #gobig). Many thanks to Pres for stepping up and driving half the team there.

However, with a Greek captain … Continue reading Men’s 2nds vs Soton City – 05/11/13
Last week saw the Men of the Southampton 2nd team play their first match of the season against Andover men. The match started slowly, with just one goal from Conal in the first quarter, leaving us 1 – 0 up at the break. We kept the in-break chat nice and calm, with no Greek swear words and came out for the next quarter, where there … Continue reading Men’s 2nds vs Andover 28/10/13
