First of all, many thanks to Craig for organizing the dinner last Friday. It was good to get together with most players other than on the field. We look forward to more events. If you have any ideas please feel free to share.

Yesterday’s game, as usual, we never had a 11 man squad at kick off. Though this didn’t make a difference at start, players were easily exhausted later on. Our opponents scored the first goal followed with an equalizer by our key striker – Manish.  They somehow managed to squeeze the ball pass our defense line which put the game in their favour (2-1). I noticed whenever there’s a stir of brawl, it diverts most players focus away from football, and this ‘always’ results in losing the game. So, if you think about it, this only benefits our opponents.

It’s OK to have these brawls, it happens in football, but lets not get carried away with it. After all we want to win the game, don’t we? So let’s piss our opponents off with our football skills and techniques – agility, possession, passing and scoring.

All our players are talented and have improved tremendously over the past few months and years. With new players on board, it only betters our team. But for some reason, we never seem to play football as a team, and this has been happening lately in our last games. We need to step up ‘now’ if we want to get into the finals. Lets get the ball, keep it and pass more – no point being shy on the field.

From now on, lets not focus on winning the game, but thrashing our opponents with endless goals. And for this to happen, all 11 players on the field need to try and play their best. Let’s keep the Gurkha spirit up!
