Portsmouth Friendlies

BIG DADDY

I know you've been desperate to know the answer to our poll on Big Daddy's weight! Indeed he has lost lots of weight and even shed a further 4 lbs following a two week holiday in Cornwall after indulging in much fish & chips and cream teas. A new diet perhaps?

PROPER WEATHER HAS RETURNED

It was a shock to have the wind and rain return at our pre-season friendlies in Portsmouth on Saturday - back to normal football conditions!

It was a joy, however, to watch two games that showed much promise for the coming season. The first resulted in a 2 - 2 draw against the Royal Navy and the second ended up 3 - 2 in our favour against United Services.

There were long passages of play in both games where we kept the ball and passed well, we created chances and defended strongly in difficult playing conditions.

Fuller reports on both games follow - but the least said the better about Linesman Hawtin's involvement and Mr Chairman's first attempt at 'Punch Ball' in the pub!

Cheers

Jim (Mr Chairman)
