End of year round up
I've just checked our records. Big thankyou to Daniel Knowles who is the only person to have attended all 8 of our sessions since our move to the Dome. Daniel turns up on time every week, keeps in touch between games, pays on time and plays really well on a consistent basis. Daniel's commitment and reliability has made a big contribution to the club and Daniel has set the standard for others to aspire to in terms of overall contribution to the cause. Lots of other players have made similarly excellent contributions, including Sam D who attended 6 sessions out of 6 before going for a shoulder operation that will keep him out of action until next summer.
Well done to Fabio who has ended the year as top scorer - although 10 different players got on the scoresheet in the course of our first seven 11 a side matches.

Seventh Heaven
Seven a side and a 7-7 scoreline. Great way to finish the year.
Four Dome debutants helped to ensure we had enough players for a good session. On the other hand, a club record 10 people didn't show up having said they would be there!!.... (club rule changes to follow as a result.)
There was lots of nice attacking football on show and some spectacular goals. There would have been lots more goals but for a fantastic display in nets from Alex Hill.
Next Session is Tues 4th Jan . Hope to see everyone there. Also possible extra bonus 11 a side on Thurs 6th jan - details to follow.

Southside FC 2, Grafton 1.
Two on the bounce! Another great result but more importantly , another great team performance. We dominated possession and could have won by four or five, but for an excellent display from Grafton's keeper.
Having gone behind against the run of play to a Grafton counter attack, Southside played their way back into the game. Bilal got on the end of a quality Dan K cross to head the Mighty Reds level before half time. When Malek put us 2-1 ahead in the second half it was nothing more than we deserved.
Thanks to everyone who came down on a cold night. Special thanks to Fabio who resisted the lure of Man Utd v Arsenal on Sky. Big apologies to Dan W and Dan K, who didn't get on the pitch in the second half. I'll make sure it evens out in future matches. I'll stick to touchline duties for the cup game to make sure the subs run smoothly.
Great debut from Sonny and really nice to see Obinna back in Action for Southside.
Once again, well done to everyone. It's a big acheivement to dominate a match against a team who cut us to shreds in a 5-0 demolition just 3 months ago.

Christmas present
Apologies to everyone who had to wait outside in the cold for last night's session. Palace have been really good about it though, and have offered us a free Dome session as compensation. Also they say they will book us in from 6.45pm for future sessions at no extra charge.
It was a very enjoyable session last night - although we only just had enough players for 6 a side - thanks to Scott for bringing a friend along to make up numbers. Please invite friends down next week - We've got 42 club members but attendance levels are low so we really need 4 more regular, reliable players.
Next Monday 13th at 8pm we have a tough 11 a side match scheduled on the stadium pitch against Grafton. The pitch is frozen at the moment but the forecast is for warmer weather at the weekend so its 50/50 whether the game will go ahead. If it's cancelled we'll play in the Dome on Tuesday 14th instead. I'll contact everyone on Monday morning to confirm.
Please contact me now to confirm availablity for both dates.

Snow Update
Palace will do a pitch inspection on Monday morning. It's more than likely that they will cancel the Cup fixture on Monday but we live in hope so bring your kit to work on Monday just in case.
If we don't play on Monday, we can definitely have the Dome pitch on Tues, 6.30-8pm as usual.
Please keep in touch so i know whether you can make it for either of these dates, and please spread the word to any team mates who may not have read this message.
