The Home Straight
02/04/2011
The Suburbans beat Wessex Wanderers 5-2. With so may fixtures to cram into April the Suburbans still have a lot to play for but with Little Stoke out on their own up front it looks like they will be vying for second or third place.
The Saturday A Team lost 2-3 to Sneyd Park. The As are lying 5th but could finish 3rd if they get a move on.
The Saturday B Team lost to Clifton St Vincent’s A 3-1. Although they are currently lying 9th out of 14, with most of the teams below them having games in hand the Bs could still have a little fight on their hands to avoid relegation.
The Netball Team report thus:
The A’s play a revamped Southside team who outplayed us today and we lost 27-42. Gutted. Mare got player from them and Lou from us. The Too’s didn’t have a game.
03/04/2011
The Sunday Team have finished their league matches since there are only 6 teams in their division. Despite a late surge early poor form mean that they have finished mid-table. They played 10, won 4, lost 4, drew 2, for 38, against 23, points 14. With just the bottom two teams left to play each other they are assured 3rd place.
Of course this season for the Sundays has been about cups and not the league. They are in the final of the GFA Cup and they play their semi final of the League Cup next Sunday away at Hanham against Hanham Sundays. After the regrettable violence at last Sunday’s match against the same opposition tensions are running high and we wait with baited breath to see the outcome of Chapter 2.

We
Gems From The Peashooter
We need a new chairperson for the whole club. If you would like to put yourself or somebody else forward please email. Also is anybody interested in taking the merchandising.
Palestine- The Cowboys are having a stall at the Anarchist Book fair and will be selling t-shirts.
COWGIRLS DO IT ON GRASS – WEDNESDAYS at 7pm-8pm on Eastville Park-
STARTING WED 4TH MAY The Cowgirls footballers will be organising regular games on grass on Wednesdays for 7 weeks (when we break for the summer). All women welcome no matter what your footballing experience. Come and Play !!!! You know you want to.
Calendars are available at the Plough for a price of just £5. Added to that amazing price, the offer extends to; Buy 9 months get 3 months totally FREE!!! What more do you want? As we still have over thirty left it’s pretty clear that a lot of the people that are in
the calendar/team photo’s haven’t purchased one. Why? Perhaps they don’t understand the culture of the club, which is to support and get involved with all aspects of what is The Mightiest little team in Easton, err sorry, the World (see poll results on our website). Not just a half a shandy, grab a handful of chips and leg it home to watch the re-run of the outtakes of the people that didn’t get into the X-factor. You can always go and play for Torpedo if you think that’s what we’re about. Get it!

The Sunday Team thumped Hanham Sundays 9-2. Back in October the Sundays beat Beaufort in the Sid Rumins (league) Cup. In the disastrous weather that followed and with the Sundays reaching the GFA Cup final everybody had forgotten all about it. Now they have a date for their Semi-Final which is Sunday 10th April, when they will play…. Hanham Sundays. If all goes according to plan there will be another 9-2 spanking, another final and Amy will be needing extra supplies of Brasso for the coming year.
Dik only has 2 seats left on the coach going to the GFA final. To find out more visit the messageboard.
There was no news form the old men as to how the Casuals and the Ultra Casuals got on.
