Pilgrims' Parents v Western School Parents 2-5
The new fixture on the list this season posed an unknown quantity. Alarm bells should have rung when prior to the match the opposition stated they practise twice a week.
The match started well for Pilgrims' with an early lead via an Alex Gulliford header from a corner. Western’s preparation started to show and their short passing game had Pilgrims' chasing the ball in midfield. Two goals were conceded in the first half. The second half was a similar affair, Pilgrims' struggled to string passes together and create chances. Three further goals were conceded before an excellent consolation goal from Maxim Crewe. A humorous moment was a rugby tackle from David Hartwright on the Western captain; David harking back to his rugby roots was made all the more amusing when their captain confessed that he had undergone surgery under David’s care a few months before!

I'm almost tempted to deliver this write-up as before and after images...Picture one: Cubs lolling on the floor, hidden behind taller boys, out of shot and generally looking less than shipshape. Picture two: perfect salutes, all 18 faces visible, and straight backs. Welcome to the world of the professional leader.
Friday 16 November was the occasion of the first round of the Set cross country competition. Conditions were excellent - no wind, no chill and gently spongy underfoot – and the boys were fit.
