I think the ‘D’ this week stood for Dad’s Army, with myself (Saf), Jan Pfitzner, Wez Reid & Rob Alberton all returning to the team nearly doubling the average age of the squad. If it wasn’t for Steve Bresolin being away I’m sure we would have achieved & indeed surpassed Read more…
Sacred Heart 4 – 0 Uni Whites After coming off a very disappointing loss the week before there was a definite air of apprehension for the clash against Sacred Heart who we though wouldn’t be as strong as Pembroke and were themselves coming off an 8 nil drubbing. Alas it Read more…
Uni Whites 2 – 1 North City First off having been slack about this, the details have gone fuzzy and I can’t remember exactly when the goals came. It may also be biased to pumping up how well I played in my head!!! With lots of young, newly recruited, largely Read more…
Uni Whites 0 Pembroke 4 The C’s started off the season taking on Pembroke at home. They have always had strength in depth and it was going to be a challenge. In the end, the game came down to which team took its chances. In difficult, humid conditions, the first Read more…
Well it’s two days later and I’m still depressed. In what should have been a routine win considering how the B’s dispatched their opponents, the A’s were sucker-punched and dropped to the foot of the table. We welcomed back Anoop at #9, hoping that his pre-season form (including 4 against Read more…
The D’s this week took on Pultney away. Steve had a very new-look squad at his disposal, with 9 first season players & only 3 guys over the age of 25 inthe squad. A far cry from previous seasons where the average age has been close to 40 on some Read more…
On a picture perfect day, and on a picture perfect pitch, the Bs lined up to make amends for a demoralising first round loss. We were up against a Westminster team that we had no real intelligence on. They looked young and fresh, but otherwise there was little to go Read more…
Well, it was the best of times, it was the wost of times. The Bs – with what looks on paper the strongest overall squad we’ve had for some years – went down to a strong, physical Pembroke side 5-2. The score seems brutal, but it was clearly a case Read more…
Well the Uni White’s D’s turned out in force for the first real match of the season. Having 11 players plus a few subs and some supporters was a great start, but unfortunately it went downhill from there. After about two minutes, we had our first casualty of the day Read more…
On Saturday it was roughly 18 years since my first game for the Whites. Not a lot has changed. We were comprehensively beaten by a bunch of knobs. Last time it was Woodcroft at Woodcroft, this time Rostrevor at Rostrevor. Further similarities were that I only knew half of my Read more…
