Commiserations, Banksy, but I'm sure you'll be ready to go again next month and bounce straight back!

GMWFL Div 2 Over 70s Autumn Season. September session 1.
A return to Heywood for the Senior Seasiders "senior" team on a day that saw 4 seasons of weather in a ten minute spell.
Blackpool 0 Salcom 0 Blackpool 0 Preston 0 Blackpool 0 Bolton 0 Blackpool 0 Winstanley 0
After last season's relegation Pool turned in a fine defensive performance in all 4 games to settle firmly in mid table. Preston had the best of the morning, points and goal wise but the standard was excellent and all 4 teams are very closely matched.
Preston 10 points Salcom 5 Blackpool 4 Winstanley 2 Bolton 1 (tbc)
Happy with that performance (it took us 14 games last season to amass a similar number of points). This is still a tough division with nothing really between all the teams.
The arm is 90% recovered but still aching this morning. Us old boys take longer to repair.

That seems like a very tight division. Excellent effort from all concerned. Especially the king of clean sheets…

Especially the king of clean sheets… Absolutely this ↑↑↑ Great to hear that you're almost back to full steam, Banksy, but I'd still have you in goal for my team with one hand tied behind your back! Excellent performance, mate!

GMWFL Div 2 Over 65s Autumn Season. September session 1.
Not available for this one as we were away on grandparent and visiting friends. The "youth team sub keeper" did well though.
Blackpool 0 Rochdale 0 Blackpool 0 Panthers 0 Blackpool 0 Moston Brook 0 Blackpool 0 Winsnstanley 0
The old problem of not hitting the onion bag exists. Two missed penalties costing 4 points and a couple of strikes against the woodwork as well. All very tight in this league
Rochdale 8 pts Winstanley 6 Blackpool 4 Moston Brook 3 Panthers 2

Regional Super League - Gloucester. 3rd and final session (I missed session 2)
NW Greens 1 South West(South) 1 NW Greens 1 Central 1 NW Greens 2 South East(Orange) 0 NW Greens 1 North East 2
We bossed both of the first two games but failed to hold onto the lead conceding late on due to lapses in concentration in the defence, two similar goals with players moving onto crash balls (the second going in off the crossbar/post joint)
Game 3 was never in doubt and probably the easiest game I have ever played in at representation level. Game 4 was up against a very strong North East side (eventual runners up in the 10 team competition). First goal came off the underside of the defenders studs and the second via the post and rebounding back in off my shoulder !
Overall pleased with my performance (only my third outing since the June injury, and my first at 65s level since April).
Overall NW Greens P 16 W3 D10 L3.
Next up - Over 70s GMWFL at Heywood (session 2) tomorrow.

GMWFL Div 2 Over 70s Autumn Season. September session 1.
At least we had better weather today. Left Blackpool in a rainstorm and had quite a breezy, balmy day (for Heywood)
Blackpool 0 Salcom 1 (last minute mishit from an unmarked forward, defence switched off thinking we had done the job) Blackpool 0 Preston 0 (If this had been a boxing match it would have been stop after 10 minutes. We were battered) Blackpool 0 Bolton 0 (Couple of decent saves including one with my chin that rattled the brains from point blank range) Blackpool 0 Winstanley 0 (Top team of the day who were surprised by the "weakest side" in the division (as they were overheard to say)
Preston (+5) 15 points Salcom (+6) 11 Winstanley ( +8) 10 Blackpool (+3) 7 Bolton (+3) 6
Despite being relegated last time we have found ourselves in a really tough league with a few new teams on the rise. Same old problem - we can't score goals, but by jove we can't half defend.

Sounds like another belting performance from our Banksy, excellent stuff!
Goals are needed, as you say, but you've got the strong defence and that's keeping you competitive.
Hopefully you can start finding the net sooner rather than later, and turn some of those 'D's into 'W's!
