  One team, two matches

  Published 26/11/19

  Pilgrims' Parents v Western School Parents 2-5
  The new fixture on the list this season posed an unknown quantity. Alarm bells should have rung when prior to the match the opposition stated they practise twice a week.

  The match started well for Pilgrims' with an early lead via an Alex Gulliford header from a corner. Western’s preparation started to show and their short passing game had Pilgrims' chasing the ball in midfield. Two goals were conceded in the first half. The second half was a similar affair, Pilgrims' struggled to string passes together and create chances. Three further goals were conceded before an excellent consolation goal from Maxim Crewe. A humorous moment was a rugby tackle from David Hartwright on the Western captain; David harking back to his rugby roots was made all the more amusing when their captain confessed that he had undergone surgery under David’s care a few months before!

  Tenacity on the pitch

  Published 07/11/19

  I hope you had a fantastic and, dare I say it, active half-term. The wet weather has been doggedly persistent of late but thankfully it hasn’t been affecting us much. I have just recovered from a World Cup final defeat - but what a defining performance in the semi-final against the mighty All Blacks.

  Regatta success

  Published 17/10/19

  Eleven eager boys in the sailing team hit the high seas on Wednesday for their autumn regatta, shared this year with sailors from nearby Prince’s Mead. After a packed lunch and a briefing from chief instructor Jazz, everyone piled into the safety boats for a lift out to their Qubas which were ready rigged and on moorings, before being towed out to the race area off Weston Shore.
