Welcome to the Kennel

img_0049

So what do you give a World Champion to say congratulations? Well the committee at Abingdon UTD Aunt Sally HQ were quick to decide that our own Barrington ‘Mutley’ Parker needed some formal recognition for his achievements and Abingdon United presented him the Special Club Events award.
Recognition from his friends and fellow tossers was always going to have to be a bit different ,but the combined brains, mainly from the Sporting Icons that are the AUFC ‘C’ team, came up with a solution. With permission granted from AUFC the Aunt Sally shed has been named ‘The Kennel’, home of the dog. A fitting tribute that will be seen by all visiting players, just as it should be.
Well done again Barry.

We will start this competition on the 23rd of  November at 7-30 prompt.  I am hoping to play the 8 scheduled games on this night so that everyone gets to play but this will mean the co-operation of  the 2 teams due to play a second game hanging around.  Captains, hold on to this info and relay it to your players.  Not going to hand this out to all teams as nobody actually hangs on to it.  Out of the 10 captains that had the Fives sheet 4 had to ask what time they were on – unbelieveable.  Go on, say it, I’m sounding more and more like Victor Meldrew.  This will be displayed on the notice board and on the website.   

Following is a revised ‘A’ Section table as last weeks match card between Spread Eagle ‘A’ and Ab. Utd. ‘B’ showed discrepencies due to someone not being able to add up properly.  Not fair to mention names but he had the initials of J.G. lol.
