A Len White in goal and a Len White up top - I think you're going to take some beating, Lennie!

Off to Gloucester to meet up with the WFA England 65s squad tomorrow.
Series of training games against the SW England Over 60's on Friday. Hoping I will get a game or two run out.

Match report vs South West Over 60's. (Who are regional 60s champions and recently beat the full England Over 60s team !)
Played 4 Won 4. For 6 Against 1. Won 1-0, 2-1, 2-0 and 1-0.
Two clean sheets in the games I played, our other keeper was absolutely excellent making 6 match winning saves. I dodged a couple of bullets when a goal was chalked off for running in the first 10 seconds of my first game, and then a bottom corner shot was ruled out as the whistle had already blown for full time ! So my 6 games, 6 clean sheets record remains intact (just). Pleased with the rest of my game though, particularly the distribution from the back.
Team up again in Nottingham on the 22nd as I will get 4 full games with and against a new set of triallists. Greater Manchester Over 65's League squad trials the day after. Busy busy.

Fantastic performance again, Banksy, an absolutely superb effort!
I'm not having it that you dodged a bullet, though, matey - rules are rules and your clean sheets were earned!

"Len White. In the middle of the goal." Not surprised in the slightest, Banksy, but that couldn't have gone much better for you! Many congrats. And best of luck with your matches later this month.

Greater Manchester WF League - Over 65s March Blackpool 0 Kingsmaid 1 (deflected goal ) Blackpool 0 Fleetwood 0 Blackpool 1 Purple Panthers 1 (both goals penalties - their's in the last minute) Blackpool 0 Salcom (Salford) 0 (our penalty disallowed) Fleetwood 8pts Kingsmaid 7pts Salcomm 4pts Blackpool 3pts Panthers 2pts A mixed day of fortunes. Lacking a goal scorer today. Should have won two of the games at the end. We go again in April.

Hard luck to the Senior Seasiders, Lennie - although only conceding a deflection and a penalty sounds as if it was a pretty good day at the office for you?

Just caught flat footed on the deflection and guessed wrong on the penalty !
You win some , you lose some. Can't do anything about the other end of the pitch.
Cheers chaps.

Greater Manchester League Over 60's Spring Series (April)
Today BFC Senior Seasiders Over 60's continue in their League 2 Campaign - Known as "the Group of Death" and it lived up to it's name.
Blackpool 0 Bolton 0 Goal disallowed and brought back by the referee for a foul ! Should have won. Same as last month. Blackpool 0 Fleetwood 1 Well beaten by a rejuvenated Fleetwood. Goal in off the post via my fingertips. Blackpool 1 Corinthians 0 same result again as last month. We looked very comfortable Blackpool 1 Preston 1 Early deflected goal I think I had covered equalized by a penalty for us. Fair result.
Again, We had the bare 6 players (with an older sub who played 1 game). Think we will be joint 1st still after that session. Fleetwood won all 4 games after only winning 1 point last month to go top. Bolton (were 1st) caught a cold - 2 pts only.
Edit:- Blackpool 13pts (GD+2) Fleetwood 13pts (GD +1) Preston 12pts (GD +1) Bolton 10pts (GD +2) Corinthians 5pts (GD -6)
WFA Cup 1st round on Saturday (away) to Blackburn Rovers.

It's staggering that you were able to get any points at all with the bare minimum players, Banksy, so that's an excellent effort all things considered!
