Here's the squad... Chalkie, Martin, Simon B, Geoff, Danny, Bran, Scholesy, Simon O, Jez and Del... Warming up infront of the Fratton end.
Our first game kicks off....
We won 1v0. Great start. There are 4 group games. Top two go through to the 1/4 Finals...
Second game we lost to group favourites Andover. That's me No23...
Del, Scholesy, Simon Band Jezza in defense...
The spectators go wild (ish)....
Next we played the tricky Columbians and managed a 0v0 draw.
We had to win the final game to go through to the 1/4 finals. Me and Bran exchange passes...
Despite a nasty injury to Simon O we won the game and made it through to the 1/4 finals. (Simon's toenail is healing well :-)

We went out 2v0 in the 1/4 finals, but had a great day....
Up the Coalie!!!
