After weeks with a nagging calf strain all was going well tonight until I attempted a back heel and felt a twinge in a hamstring. :(

I managed to get my name on the reserves match sheet (due to low numbers...).
Still, I haven't played in a losing side since 1995 ?
Just out of curiousity...has anyone out there played in more than 5 Division 2 Champions sides ?

Sturt Marion keeper in Saturday Div 5 has let in half what you have let in.
Para Hills West Div 10 keeper is on par with you also.

Sat div 5?
Div 10 even?
Some teams in these leagues could have a tree as a goalkeeper.
I could 'keep in these teams and mantain a clean sheet.
Blow that trumpet HM

Obviously you've never been keeper in these divisions.
The forwards kick the ball aiming to go right and it goes left etc....it's like a lottery picking which way it might go :D
