Rest up properly, otherwise you are more likely to damage it again!

A sickener for you. Rotten luck.
It's ironic that, as we get older, we try to exercise for our general health but sometimes forget that the older you get the less well you bounce. Taking the dog out for 2 hours a day is my exercise these days.

WF is a non contact sport !!!!
Hence we dive around on fairly hard grounds and stand there having pot shots taken at us.
And ............. they say goalkeepers are mad !
Baaaaa.

Greater Manchester WF League Over 65s Spring Season June Final session. Division 1
So we enter the final phase of the "big boys" league. Last 4 games of 16 where we have struggled for goals again. Yours truly confined to manager's role as the arm is still very weak, hampering distribution (which is 80% of my game). A total of 9 players unavailable for various reasons, 4 of us usual 1st choice squad members !
Blackpool 0 Bury 1 (fluke goal, mis-hit near post on a difficult angle catching out our 3rd choice sub keeper) Blackpool 0 Corinthians 1 (thunderbolt strike, top bin from the ex-Kingsmaid, Redcar based, England centre forward import) Blackpool 0 Bolton 0 (had the best of the chances against our nearest placed rivals but no luck in front of goal) Blackpool 1 Wakefield 1 (conceded early to a bad throw out from the keeper against the top of the league, late equalizer to deny them the championship in favour of Bury.
Final Places Bury (+10) 27 pts Wakefield (+6) 25 Corinthians (+5) 20 Bolton (+2) 15 Blackpool (+2) 14
Back to Division 2. But we have found a new player, from Garstang, today (who scored our goal) and a number of missing players to return. A couple of Over 60s players also qualify for the older team in January. Preston (who were relegated last time) make an instant return in our place - showing the strength of Division 1.
Over 65s Record since Covid
P 92 W 24 D 49 L 19 F 36 A 30 -- pts 121
My record (with 65s)
P 80 W 23 D 44 L 13 F 34 A 22 -- pts 113

GMWFL Inaugural Session 2024 July 4th - Over 75s League

League
Rochdale 11 pts BBSC Vets B 9 Preston 6 Tameside 6 Blackpool 3 BBSC Vets A 2
Sadly unable to play in this session (due to arm injury) as 70+ keepers allowed.

And very sadly..... the Seasiders have had to withdraw from this week's event due to Covid illness, holidays, injuries, family commitments and old age catching up with us. Perhaps this venture was a step too far.
Only 4 and 2 1/2 fit players available (with no recognisable keeper) which is too much for us to contemplate. 75 minutes of football !!!

The stupid thing is I have now been drafted back into the Over 60's team for a large charity event on Sept 1st. Not sure I am looking forward to that. Thanks for your concern. Onward and upward.

It didn't pan out well for us on the pitch at the 75s final session.
We obviously gave 3 points to all our opponents and the league finished:-
Rochdale 38 Preston 35 Tameside 34 BBSC B 23 BBSC A 15 Blackpool 12
The GMWFL 60s, 65 and 70s league kick off again in September as usual. 60s promoted to Division 1 big boys, and 65s and 70s relegated back to Division 2 which could be interesting. Next outing for me is the Martin Dawson Memorial (Over 60s) Event on Sunday 1st September but we have entered mainly a 65s aged team for a warm up experience against sides from all over the North of England. Could be quite a challenge.
