County Cup makes a winning weekend

what a weekend lots of good food drink and company brother and his girlfreind came over for the weekend saturday was good as United won 2 0 against the boro my brothers team we then started to walk back home and luke saw an icecream van asked if he could have one we said if he flagged it down and it stopped then he could and it did.

Chickens still laying well 6 the last couple and then 4 today.


It was Lukes footbal teams County Cup final played at Lincoln City Football ground the team and all its fans were there we were in the dressing rooms and the kids played on the pitch, nice playing surface. Kick off came we were under pressure straight a way fornthe first ten minutes Moorland railway were a strong physical side but they couldnt play football like our boys. we broke and were up 1 0 it stayed like that until half time the teams were evenly matched both having missed chances. Second half we were under pressure again and they eventually scored to equalisefrom a shot that our keeper nearly saved. we started palying again and Luke got the ball on the left weaved passed two players then got ytaken down in the box the ref pointed to the spot and we got a pen JF stood up to take it and then missed it but was alert enough to get the rebound 2 1 they the got a free kick on the edge of the box and scored a second equaliser. we then pushed on a great ball out to the wing by RB to luke who again went on a jinky run and the shot with his left foot and scored the winning goal winning 3 2 to become County Cup champions
