So that's the end of our weekends for the foreseeable future as the 2016/17 football season has now started. I have managed to back out of coaching Joshua's team as we had another two coaches join from the Lion's team with the change to 7-a-side for this season. This leaves me to now concerntrate just on Brandon's U8's team. So hopefully my Sundays will not quite be as manic as I rush from one match to the next.
So Joshua has been playing two friendlies each weekend as the team tries to adapt to the larger 7-a-side pitch, and Brandon's U8's have already had two pre-season tournaments to get them ready for the first league game on September 25th. Both of them have a new kit for this season. For Brandon's team we got the team a new home kit courtsey of last years sponsor, Rose Builders. For Joshua's team we managed to get them a new away kit sponsored by JLT. I think the 2016/17 kits look great with the extra piping/trim.

The weekend after we got back from camping in Newquay we had another overnight camp planned at the Forest Glade football club grounds. We had hardly recovered from Newquay and my back for sure hadn't recovered from 10 nights on an air bed. But we went along and took my Mum's old tent as it is a bit smaller and more suitable when it is just me and the boys camping. We actually had a really good night playing games, listening to music from a DJ, cooking a BBQ and ordering in pizza. The kids all loved it and we managed to raise a bit of money for the club. So win, win. The farmer who owns the land wasn't too happy the next day as apparently he complained that he thought there was a rave going on over the field. The next challenge was to get all packed up by 8am as Brandon had one of the pre-season tournaments at 9am over at Trinity.
