Well, what a day!
If there's a group of lads I knew I could rely on, it was this group 💙
We have gone and won our last junior League campaign with a game to spare 🏆
We travelled to 2nd placed Walmley Colron where a point would have secured the League title. But who wants a point when you can take all 3 and really WIN the League. Things could have gone against us this morning...the pitch wasn't the best after rainfall through the night and the grass being long...the Referee deciding not to turn up so the Walmley Coach taking control of the game...odds were stacking against us but these lads have a different attitude and a different mentality this season. And I have to give credit to the Walmley Coach and even their lino, their decisions were made honestly and not with the situation in mind.
But we were poor in the 1st Half. One of the worst I've seen us in recent times. Not winning first or second balls, we couldn't get our foot behind the ball, our defensive line was completely off and Walmley could have bagged a few goals had they have been more clinical or if our Keeper wasn't on top form. And it says something when you get questioned about your Keeper by the opposition Manager as to how good he was.
2nd Half after some harsh truths, we showed who we really were. We went back to basics and allowed our attacking players to do what they do. We ran out 6 - 1 winners!
There will never be enough time or enough words to express just how proud I am to have been a part of all of this. Knowing a handful of these lads since they were 6 years old and then bringing in players every couple of years, becoming what must be one of the most successful 11 a side junior teams at Borough and in the 10 years of doing this, I can't remember a time where we've caused the Club an issue. This group has been a major asset to the Club and one I believe should be the standard of how teams conduct themselves.
We have just one more League game left and then a League Cup to have a go at but very soon this will come to an end. I was ok with that back in June, but it's come so close now and so quickly that the last 10 years are really starting to flood me...but all with happy memories and friendships that I genuinely hope last forever.
The support I have been given, as a complete stranger from a bunch of strangers, to guide their kids through this weird and wonderful game of football, and to have been allowed to have been a part of their lives, I cannot thank the lads parents enough. You have trusted me for these 10 years and I hope you feel that trust has been rewarded.
The next couple of months is all about this team now for me, to achieve one more trophy if we can, but to continue a bond and a togetherness that I can only relate to what I had when I was a junior player myself. The good old days of Headless Cross. I think I may have actually come pretty close to replicating what we had there...and we had it good!
You'll hear me wax lyrical now for the next couple of months about this team, and they fully FUCKING deserve it 💙
