RESERVES
Best team played against? farm the most organised but Downs the most dangerous - Downs by a nose
Biggest Surprise team this year?Farm - got off to a flyer! always a top 4 team but dont think even they saw such a good 1st half of the season coming.
Biggest disappointment so far?Us! On paper one of the best sides we've had for a while. Playing some good football but not scoring enough.... still only 6points from the top 4 though. I expect a big second half from the lads!
Best goal seen?easties first goal last week.... although the marking was woeful - it was a very well taken volley, showed great technique and composure.
Funniest moment?Roscos 'pin point' leave against East! Guy tries to hit a cross.... shanks it and the ball runs along the ground towards the near post... Rosco puts his hands out as if its going wide, then steps over the ball only for it to hit the base of the post and run across the face of goal :oops: luckily a defender cleared it but the shouts of "well left" from the hill behind us were enough to make us have a chuckle

Predicitions
Who will win the league? Downs to get up over Farm
Who will get relegated?
Leading goalscorer?Mark Gebauer with a late flurry ;)
Your teams B&F?
Who will win the A's Cup?Downs
Who will win the B's Cup?Parafield

(not saying this is what happened in your game) if it comes off the post and straight back to the penalty taker, it's not offside but an IDF to the other team, right?
