NEXT GAME; Sunday Sept 7th, Milford Magic!

Unless Tropical storm Hanna hangs around longer than expected we should be making our first appearance of the Fall season against Milford Magic this Sunday. Milford are a good team and our recent record against them has been mixed. We played them twice in the summer season losing away 3-1 and winning at home 4-1. As you all know we finished the last league season in 6th place having played 8 games, winning 4, losing 3 and drawing once. Of course, we played 2 to 3 games less than every other team in the league, with eventual league winners Falcons playing 11 games on the way to accumulating 24 points compared to our 13. To do better this season we have to play more games!....and win a few more. Now even though Milford Magic played 3 more games than Madison over the season we still finished above them in the league! Let's get off to a flyer on Sunday with a win!

Nothing to report on injuries. At the end of the summer season Mark, Tom J, Stuart and Behrooz were all carrying knocks but I'm not sure how they are doing now. Guys, if you are reading this maybe you can send in a fitness report?

The fitness competition has started with a number of the team rising to the challenge. Don't forget to send me your points on Sunday or Monday morning.


World Cup qualification games for the 2010 tournament start this weekend and I'm hoping for Scotland to get off to a winning start against Macedonia and Iceland!

  1. IF we win this week, we will have a better record than Glasgow Celtic....maybe the Abu Dhabi group will look to sponsor us this season!

  2. John,
    I hit the gym twice last week with 65 minutes of workout each time so far I have 130 minutes. I will get the ball rolling from next week. Too busy and no time to spend on my beer-belly.

  3. What is Milford's rain policy? If it rains as much as is predicted tomorrow, is there a chance they'll cancel the match?
