The last ball has been kicked in anger for another season and what a season its been.
The Saturday L'Oranges have grown in stature and football capability to now be deservedly known as the second best side in the Lowestoft & District League. Not a small feat when only 18 months ago we were struggling to stop ourselves sliding back down to the second division. Danny Mc. has done a splendid job (no , I'm not forgetting all the others which make a club tick as you much needed and appreciated), he's brought in a few new faces, a lot of experience and with our OWN players coming on leaps and bounds it has been an unbelievable improvement! My only advice I can give is maybe, NOW YOU SHOULD BELIEVE MORE IN YOURSELVES as the League never Lies!!!! Anyway , well done, its been great, look out the Hearts!
The Sunday Mob have had an incredible season, THE BEST EVER! If anyone would have offered us the three awards we have won this year at the beginning of the season we would have snapped their hand off! As it was, we were a victim of our own success and in the end, Sunday's game was one match to far! After the exertions of Friday night there's was no fuel in the tank and the spark we would have needed to go that extra mile, was missing! And rightly so!! On reflection, no one in their right minds could expect amateur footballers play two massive games within 36 hours but we put ourselves in that position so that's the way it is! There's no good saying what if? Because no decent side would throw games to make the future easier! I've got to thank everyone, Daisy , Max and all the players, for the time and attitude but the most incredible thing is what about all those loyal supporters who turned out to cheer us on. It was like an old get-together, old players, girlfriends, thousands of new babies, parents and people from other teams all willing us on! This in itself shows that people respect us as a football club and we must be doing things right!
So all we've got left is the small matter of presentation night!!!! Saturday May 30th. It should be a great night! I have got to remind you that Pot Black have got a fishing match next day so I will want to be home at a reasonable time!!! Yea alright!!!
