Re: Squad for Sunday 11th September (Home to St. Mary's)

Martin & Leon are now registered.
I suppose it was to be expected that it would say Cruickshink on there instead of Cruickshank, but what the heck ?

Also, I have just been over Hazelwood and had a look at the pitch. It's all marked out, the posts are up and it's nice and grassy...unlike Pound Close last Sunday. It is very hard and bobbly underfoot in the Cowshed End penalty area though. It needs some rain and a roller on it, but Broomfield's First Team are playing Away this Saturday. They don't bother with that when their Second XI are at Home.
It will still be a lot better than what we had to play on last Sunday though.
The only problem is that the other two pitches are up over there, which almost certainly means four teams from the KOPA (Cypriot) League have been put over Hazelwood again this season instead of Enfield Playing Fields and will be using the changing rooms as well...whether they have got keys or not !
Who's gonna be the bouncer ?

Just a reminder that we want all players at the venue by 9.45.a.m. ready to go in and get changed and out on the pitch by 10.00.a.m. for a proper warm-up...gale-force winds and torrential rain or not !
Anybody who turns up after 10.00. and misses the warm-up/team-talk may find themselves being named as a substitute.

Looking at this on the KOPA League website, it looks quite promising. The two teams that used Hazelood last season (Pendayia and Maronites) seem to be playing their Home games elsewhere and I can't see anybody else from that League listed as using Hazelwood.
There doesn't appear to be any teams from the North London Sunday League over there either according to this. I know Inter Trac (who we played in Pre-Season) were asking.

It's therefore likely that Youth teams will be put on at least one of the pitches, but they should know that they are not allowed to use the changing rooms.

Fingers crossed. hopefully ourselves and St. Mary's will not have the hassle we had last season.
