Blurry I know but it was the start of Carloss
wonderful run with two Pumas chasing him
Half Time
A wonderful first half saw us ahead by 1. A
brilliant run from Carlos as he streaked up the
field from before halfway and put the ball into
the goal. The team were jubilant as they tucked
into oranges brought by coach (Simon) today. A
little pep talk saw them heading back out to the
game on form and ready for action
Our newest recruit
