14 APR 2007: DOCKING 9-0 REFFLEY
Squad from: Swales, Moyse, Wedge, Morton,
Nichols, Witt, Browne, Taylor, Flack.
A foggy damp start to the morning left the manager not
expecting too much today and on arrival the squad disappeared into the
changing rooms to warm up!!! Having kicked them outside for the real pre
match warm up with only 5 minutes before kick off the manager was deciding
who to play from the start against this formidable Docking Squad who are
fighting for the League title with North Lynn.
Docking from the kick off had their centre forward running rings round
Reffley, who as usual need to kick off 10 minutes before the opposition.
With an early goal, those on the touchline were expecting an onsalught
again but from the restart the Reffley girls had decided to fight their
corner, Wedge hounded Docking's main player and Moyse up front today made
several penetrating runs but unfortunately had no support to finish them.
A quick change saw Morton go on and although Docking were trying to force
they way through they were finding Nichols in midfield and the combination
of Morton and Wedge hard to get by. Half time saw the scoreline 4 - 0
helped by some outstanding goalkeeping by Swales. Second half saw Taylor
and Moyse back in defence and Browne up front. The combination in defence
did not prove as strong as the first half with Wedge and Morton in front
of Swales and Swales found herself stranded on several occassions to be
left one on one with the Docking centre forward. Taylor was lacking her
normal ball control today and allowed some silly errors to be penalised by
Docking taking the score up to 7. Nichols was put on the spot and took the
keepers place and although the squad tried to rally round Docking managed
to put 2 more goals in. Despite some good efforts from Browne, Nichols and
Witt during this half Reffley could not find the back of the net.
On the whole an outstanding team performance today that you should be
proud of.
MotM: Again the trio Morton, Wedge and Nichols.

24 MAR 2007: REFFLEY 0-0 DERSINGHAM
Squad from: Swales, Abbott, Morton, Moyse,
Nichols, Wedge, Witt, Browne, Taylor, Flack.
On a bitterley cold and soon to turn wet morning and having yet another
poor response at the Thursday evening training session the coach was not
expecting a good performance today.
Starting with a different formation to try to instill some respect and
self belief into the squad the Reffley girls turned out with Taylor and
Flack sidelined. Wedge in defence made short work of any straying
Dersingham player and pushed balls upfront for Witt, Nichols, Morton and
Browne to deal with. Morton playing in an unfamiliar position took it in
her stride and showed how far she has developed over this season. Good
control of the ball and accurate passes into the area, unfortunately most
found the Dersingham keeper. Browne, in new boots, lacked pace upfront but
the combination of Witt and Nichols took over allowing her to drop back
into midfield and try to penetrate the very strong Dersingham defence with
her powerful long range shots. Other than a goalmouth scramble during this
half Swales had very little to deal with. A fiercely fought first half saw
both teams go in at half time 0 - 0. At the restart Browne was rested and
Taylor went back to her usual defensive position alongside Wedge making an
awesome combination of sheer determination to keep a clean sheet. Now
battling the wind as well as this strong Dersingham squad meant that the
girls had to step their pace up and keep the ball low to keep control.
Wedge took an knock late on in the game and had to be replaced by Moyse,
who had allowed to cold to set in and Witt continually dropped back to
shield her goal. Superb pass and move football saw Flack, Browne, Witt and
Nichols go close on several occasions but time eventually ran out and a
final result of 0 - 0 was the right scoreline. Exciting football from both
teams who are evenly matched in size and age. Dersingham kept fighting
their corner throughout the game and should be proud of the improvement
they have made this season despite having to change coaching staff half
way through.
An excellent team performance proving that you all have your own skills to
offer the squad you still need to communicate more on the pitch and not on
the training ground!
MotM: the trio of Morton, Nichols and Wedge new to the squad this year but
proved their worth today.

MAR 2007: REFFLEY 0-2 WOOTTONS - League KO Cup - Last 16
Squad: Swales, Abbott, Morton, Nichols,
Wedge, Moyse, Browne, Flack, Witt, Taylor.
This knock out cup game re-scheduled from half term.
A bad start to the day with Swales falling and knocking her head shortly
before kick off meant that an unsettled team went out with volunteer
Abbott in goal. Well done for taking the shirt on having had very little
match practice this season Helen.
As usual the Reffley girls were late out of the starting blocks allowing
Woottons to get an early goal against the run of play. With only 7 players
in the Woottons squad Reffley should have sewn the game up early on having
spent most of the first half camped out in the Woottons end but
unfortunately for Reffley Littlewood was in goal for the Woottons and was
determined not to allow them any space in her area. A very frustrating
first half saw Reffley try every trick they new to score passing the ball
around well but went in half time 1 down. Half time saw a stern team talk
and Wedge replacing Nichols to mark Littlewood, although one or two of the
girls failed to listen properly to instructions causing confusion in the
first few minutes. On the restart both teams had changed goalies with
Swales taking back her usual position between the posts and Littlewood
back in the midst of the Woottons team. Again Reffley were caught asleep
with a goalmouth scramble falling to Littlewood who takes no prisoners and
fired home for their second goal. Reffley set their stall out and started
passing the ball around again and with Wedge now one on one with
Littlewood prevented any further damage. Moyse moved forward and made
several good penetrating runs with Browne having shots on target but with
no real force behind them. Witt took advantage of Wedge's superb man
marking and floated several perfect crosses in but there was no one to
finish them for her. Nichols returned to replace Flack who looked tired
but she was keen to go back on and with a corner on her favourite foot
stepped up to the mark. Again excellent defending by Woottons prevented
Reffley scoring.
Final score: Reffley 0 Woottons 2. Another result against the run of play.
A much improved performance from Reffley after last weeks shambles. Well
done girls as the team talk said, play as a team and get results. Pass the
ball around as we know you can and make your training sessions count.
Listen to instructions and advise from coaches, we are trying to help you.
You have the ability, you just need to believe in yourself.
MOTM: Moyse tireless effort today. Although a good all round team
performance from everyone.

SAT
24 FEB: CLENCHWARTON 7-0 REFFLEY
Squad: Swales, Wedge, Moyse, Nichols, Morton,
Witt, Browne, Flack.
At short notice a change of venue due to
waterlogged pitches meant this game was played at Reffley rather than
Clenchwarton.
With Taylor grounded, a depleted squad
turned out with their heads down from the start. Lack of match practice
due to rescheduled and postponed games showed in this lack lustre display.
Clenchwarton had a score to settle after a 4
- 0 defeat here earlier in the season and they proved that point by the
end of the first half. Clenchwarton were extremely physical with their
play and the Reffley girls were too timid during most of the game allowing
several easy shots to go in and went in 4 down at half time. Morton took a
knock and was replaced by Wedge who had to take a defensive role this
week. Basic football knowledge at kick off seems to have been forgotten,
balls need to go forward not backwards to give you any chance of scoring.
Wedge seemed to be one of the few girls
prepared to stand her ground against this determined side and marked her
opponents well. She shone in this new position, defending corners well by
heading the ball back up field, unfortunately the rest of the squad were
too slow to take advantage of this. Browne had a couple of good attempts
but poor finishing on goal meant they never found the back of the net. A
dubious handball was given against Wedge and yet again Clenchwarton
hammered home. With 15 minutes left Reffley seemed to wake up and were
putting the ball about but missed out on several clear opportunities to
find Witt who doggedly ran the wing to find space but never received the
ball. Final result 7 - 0 !! Come on girls you are much better than this.
This was one of our worst displays and must
be turned around before the Cup match next week. Training is a must as you
have shown today, you cannot rely on games for your match practice. All
set pieces need to be practised even how to take a kick off!!!
Thanks to those parents who did help out
with the setting up and taking down of goals and marking the pitch out at
short notice and to Vince for his help. More parental support and
encouragement on the touchline next week please, I cannot do everything
myself.
MotM: Wedge superb display today.

20 JAN 2007: COATES 0-3 REFFLEY
(League
KO Cup - Pre. Round)
Squad from: Swales, Moyse,
Taylor, Witt, Browne, Nichols, Morton, Flack, Wedge.
On an extremely blustery day the girls
turned out at what they class as "too early to be up" time and
had a long trip over to Coates in convoy with the the U12 squad also
playing in the cup here today. We were made welcome by the opposition who
apologised for their facilities and then told us we would be playing on
the far side of the pitch. This allowed us to warm up with the long trek
over to the playing area!
Having been reminded last week in training
that they must play as a team and taken back to basics during the session
the coach expected some improvement in the attitude this week. What a
change in the team. This game was played at great speed and end to end
against some formidable girls. Witt had been appointed captain, as she is
week in week out and inspiration on the pitch, and again she worked
wonders. Before the start the team discussed how they would play should
they win the toss, particularly as the wind would contribute greatly in
this game. The squad format was changed slightly to allow for a more
defensive game to be played from the start, relying heavily on a strong
midfield section of Witt, Nichols and Flack. The first half saw Coates
come out strongly but hit the brick wall in midfield. A move created from
defence saw the ball taken from wing to wing by the Reffley squad creating
a perfect opportunity for Flack to net the first goal, one of many
chances. Witt, Browne, Nichols all narrowly missed as the Coates Goalie
stood her ground forcing them to place the ball just past the upright.
Flack has found her pace again down the wing. Reffley went in at half time
1 up. Again some jiggling of the squad at half time due to Taylor taking a
knock and handing her position to Wedge. Moyse and Wedge connected well in
the defense and with Morton running a mock up front in place of Browne the
Coates defense were unsure who to follow. Coates had a couple of corners
but with the gusts making the ball hover in the air it was difficult for
anyone to get on them. A goalmouth scramble from a Coates throw in nearly allowed
them to penetrate Swales' goal but fortunately we survived to fight back.
Morton was replaced by Browne who was now pacing the touchline
desperate to return to the game. With the words" its a long walk back
if you don't score" ringing in her ears she fought hard to nudge one
past the Coates keeper. Close to the end and the girls were all tiring
even with the wind now in their favour. Nichols, having been told by the
ref that there was a minute left rallied round and found enough energy to
pass the ball around and eventually it fell to Browne who fired
home for her second.
What a superb game girls. I know you can
perform like this, you did at the start of the season lets keep this up.
Team spirit throughout kept you all going. A pleasure to be on the
touchline today.
MOM : the whole team for giving 110% thank you.
Cant send this report in without mentioning
the referee Aaron Coulson, a young ref but extremely professional attitude
and well controlled game. A credit to Coates.

SAT
06 JAN 2007: REFFLEY 0-2 TILNEY
Squad:
Swales, Moyse, Taylor, Morton, Nichols, Witt, Flack, Wedge, Browne
Yet again another lack lustre display
from this squad. Complacency regarding team places has taken over meaning
very little effort is being put into the game and training. Be warned,
only 3 or 4 of you can guarantee your team place at the moment and new
players are being sourced for those that have other things to do on a
Saturday. On a cold morning the attitude was "its too cold to play
can we go home" What a way to start the New Year off. Come on girls,
if your coaches can make the effort then why cant you? Tilney, a weaker
squad on paper, came with the attitude that they must win every game and
it showed during their performance. A dull performance lead to a soft
first goal for Tilney after about 20 minutes due to a mix up and lack of
communication between the goal keeper and her defence, allowing Tilney to
go in 1 up at half time.
The restart saw Swales unable to continue in goal due to an injury and
with no one prepared to take over Moyse eventually volunteered and made
the best of things for her team. Yet another silly mistake lead to Morton
turning the ball into her own net leaving Moyse no chance to stop it.
Having lost Witt in the first half from a knock on the ankle the team had
no spirit until 10 minutes from the end of the game when, frustrated she
returned and took control. What a shame some of the other players didn't
put in the same effort. Unfortunately it was too late to turn the game
around. Thanks to Jess Moyse, despite not being a goalie was prepared to
help out.
An extremely disappointing day which should have been a guaranteed win.
For those of you that stayed to watch the U12 team, remember the commitment
they showed for your next game.
MoTM: Witt, dispute taking an injury was determined to pick the game up.
With a cup game in 2 weeks we must get this sorted.

SAT
25 NOV 2006: REFFLEY 1-4 NORTH LYNN
Squad from: Swales, Morton, Witt, Browne,
Taylor, Wedge, Nichols, Moyse.
After 3 games away the manager was
expecting to see some exciting play from the girls who had fought hard in
all the last games. Reffley came out determined but had the wind to
contend with as well as a very disciplined N Lynn squad. However they held
their own for 20 minutes or more in an end to end battle. Finally Browne
found the back of the net with a rare left footed goal. N Lynn were
briefly stunned by this but soon composed themselves to take control of
the game. They floated a corner across Swales goal and with a little bit
of help from the wind passed over the top of all of their forward line to
go out. Swales playing one of her blinding games controlled her area well
but with the wind assisting N Lynn they found the net for the equaliser
and then a 2nd to go in at half time 2 - 1 leaders.
Some strong talking at half time and with the wind now in their favour
should have seen the Reffley squad turn the game back on their side but
unfortunately today was one of their lacklustre performances when they
played as individuals and not as a team. Having Flack out injured gave us
no width at all and Witt spent most of the second half helping out in
defence. Had it not been for some superb goalkeeping from Swales this game
could have easily reached double figures.
The second half turned into an onslaught on Swale's goal with very little
help from her normally strong defensive duo she struggled to keep N Lynn
out. Midfield was obviously away for the day and allowed the N Lynn girls
to camp out in the Reffley half. Clouds looming overhead and lightening
starting seemed to turn the usually tough squad into headless chickens
chasing the ball all around and not achieving anything. N Lynn scored
another 2 goals before the end but Taylor handled in the area to allow
then yet another opportunity to score, thankfully Swales kept her head and
stood her ground to force the N Lynn player to hit the upright. All in all
a very poor performance which must be turned around in training before the
rematch in 2 weeks.
MotM: Swales for such a tremendous game. Keep it up Emily.

Reffley started slowly and conceded a goal
within seconds after KO. After conceding three more goals Reffley pulled
one back through the persistence of Browne and a good finish by Witt.
After losing Taylor at half time due to a knee injury, Reffley never got
to grips with Dockings passing and movement. Despite some good one on one
saves from Swales, Reffley conceded more goals, due to silly mistakes and
good finishing from Docking. Special mention for the whole team for giving
100% commitment against a very good Docking team.

28 OCT 2006: DERSINGHAM 0-0 REFFLEY
Squad: Swales, Morton, Moyse, Witt, Flack,
Nichols, Wedge, Browne
Reffley were back to their sluggish start
and took 10 minutes or so to settle down, playing with the sun against
them. Eventually they found their feet and adjusted their game to play on
a smaller pitch and took the game to Dersingham. Firing from anywhere they
took shot after shot on the Dersingham goal but dint manage to find the
back of the net. Some superb keeping from the Dersingham goalie along with
both uprights kept the Reffley team at bay. Swales, just back from a trip,
had asked for a quiet game and her teammates complied by keeping the play
in the Dersingham half for most of the game. Second half was much the same
with couple of good runs from the Dersingham team to wake Swales up but
she performed well and kept another clean sheet. Reffley tried their
hardest to penetrate the Dersingham goal but again their keeper put in an outstanding
performance and when kicking the ball up field put Reffley in a very
speedy back track to protect their goal area. Luck was against the Reffley
girls and the game finished up a no score draw but what a game from both
sides fighting till the end. Well done all of you on a heavy pitch,
Dersingham are one team to be wary of on the return.
Reffley MotM: The whole team for another TEAM effort
MotM: Dersingham goalkeeper who fought hard against the onslaught on her
goal.

SAT
14 OCT 2006: REFFLEY 4-0 CLENCHWARTON
Squad: Swales, Moyse, Morton, Nichols, Witt,
Browne, Wedge, Flack
Reffley, without Taylor in defence, regrouped this morning to a new
formation with Swales as captain. The first 10 minutes was end to end with
Clenchwarton looking to come out the stronger side. Moyse, taking up
Taylor's position proved invaluable in the defense, however and a cross in
the Clenchwarton box from Flack led to an unfortunate own goal from
the Clenchwarton defender. This goal spurred the Reffley girls on and
despite some hard work up hill to goal they came in at half time one goal
up.
Play resumed with Nichols on the sideline having taking a knock earlier on
and Wedge in her place doing her usual superb marking. Reffley were given
a corner and Browne floated a perfect cross to FLACK who scored.
Game on for Reffley. Clenchwarton now fighting up hill on the bottom pitch
realised that the girls were desperate for more goals and at last Lady
Luck was on the Reffley side. BROWNE picked up a loose ball and
went on a spurt to find the back of the net.
Having done her bit Browne was substituted for Nichols who was keen to
return to the game and with Wedge controlling midfield marking, Morton and
Moyse controlling the area in front of Swales sending the ball down the
wing to Flack and Witt, she came back with the words "you're up front
that means you have to score". Yet another corner for Reffley was
placed directly to NICHOLS for her first goal in a Reffley
shirt.
Time was running out but Reffley still pounded the Clenchwarton area but
allowed a couple of loose balls to get close to Swale's goal but some good
backtracking by the defenders saved the day. Congratulations to Moyse for
taking on a different position with such expertise.
Well done girls not only a win but a clean sheet again. You proved that
the only way to win is by TEAM effort. A wonderful display of football
from both sides considering this is the first time we have played the 30
minutes each way. All credit to Clenchwarton's goalkeeper who had a
tremendous game and looked very confident in her area.
MotM: The whole team you all worked so well together.

SAT
07 OCT 2006: WOOTTONS 2-0 REFFLEY
Squad: Swales, Taylor, Morton, Nichols, Wedge,
Moyse, Browne, Witt, Flack.
The final score is a poor reflection of the game. Reffley game out with
new signing Wedge marking Woottons strong player Littlewood and what
marking it was. She doggedly followed her around frustating the Woottons
player and not allowing her to be involved in the game. Reffley determined
to comeback from last weeks performance took the game to Wootton. Back on
a pitch allowing them to play the quality pass game proved that last
week's defeat was due to the playing area and not their skills. Superb
passing from all the team and defending when required from both Lily
Taylor and Lily Morton held Wootton at bay for the first 20 minutes or so.
Unfortunately a rebounded shot deflected off of Wedge into the Reffley
net. Swales, although angry at letting it past her, stood no chance with
this goal. The restart saw Reffley falter slightly, knowing that the goal
would spur the Wootton team on but composed themselves regardless. A
probing kick hit the upright and fell onto Littlewood to bounce back into
the Reffley net. A goal that counts but a below standard one for
Littlewood who was in the right place at the right time and left Swales
again with no hope of getting to it. Half time the team rallied together
and made a couple of tactical changes with Wedge sitting out to regain
some strength having fought off Littlewood throughout the first half.
Nichols was given the job of man marking her and stepped up to the mark
well. Reffley threw everything they had at Wootton and some superb keeping
held them at bay along with the crossbar again from a Browne corner. Witt
made some penetrating runs allowing Moyse to have several shots on target
until she fired one at close range to be stopped in the face by a Wootton
player. Play stopped whilst the Wootton manager dealt with their second
injury and on restart a sporting Reffley team kicked the ball to the
Wootton goalie. Flack looked tired and frustrated on the wing and
struggled to get into position due to strong marking but the Reffley team
held the game and finished 2 - 0 down to 2 very lucky goals. Game on for
the return match at home girls. Yet again a superb TEAM display from this
Reffley team who get stronger by the week. Heads up girls, loosing when
you are playing so well is hard but Lady Luck will be on our side before
long.
Reffley MotM: Lily Morton superb in defence, Jade Wedge superb marking.
Thanks to Tim for taking the reigns due to my lack of voice!

SAT 30 SEPT 2006: TILNEY 3-0 REFFLEY
Squad: Swales, Taylor, Nichols, Flack, Browne,
Witt, Morton, Moyse
Arriving at Tilney to find no pitch set out and no half way line marked to
assist them seemed to put the girls off their stride and the previous form
from the last two games was a thing in the distant past. They tried their
hardest to adjust to somewhat small playing area and worked hard for the
first 15 minutes only to be beaten by a corner given instead of a throw
in. 1 goal down and looking like the day would go against them they
allowed their heads to drop and Tilney quickly found a 2nd. Half time
talks and encouragement were in vain as the restart was delayed whilst a
Tilney player disappeared to get a hat for their goal keeper and again put
the Reffley girls in a quandary. No matter how hard the touchline support
cheered the girls on nothing went their way. Tilney found the back of the
net for a 3rd but found that Reffley by then had decided to fight it out
when the TIlney GK picked up a back pass. Taylor fired the ball at the
Tilney defence who ahd totally blocked the goal mouth. shots narrowly
missed the post and Browne was on arget again with every corner but
unfortunately the Tilney GK picked them up each time in her box. A late
goalmouth scramble still saw the Reffley girls attempts thwarted. The game
only gave Emily and the Tilney gk the chance to practise goal kicks and
did not allow the Reffley squad to display their by now inch perfext
passing game. Lady luck was definitely not on their side today.
Lets put this behind us girls and carry on as we started the pre season
friendly. You can do it just believe in yourself.
MotM: Swales for some outstanding saves. We knew they were in there
somewhere and the whole squad for carrying on regardless.

SAT
23 SEPT 2006: REFFLEY 1-0 WALPOLE
Squad: Swales, Taylor, Morton, Nichols, Browne,
Flack, Witt, Moyse
An excellent start to the new season. The 10
minute wake up call looks to be a thing of the past and riding on the win
against Wisbech Acorns in the friendly the team came out fighting.
Walpole, always a fielding a strong team, beat us both times last season
but the girls had put this to one side and got on with the game.
Taylor the ever vocal captain, took control
of the team before kick off and mustered the squad ready for action on
kick off. Walpole GK looked hard to beat and her goal kicks were
astonishing and, had someone met them, the other end the game would have
gone their way.
Remembering the coaches words "fire the
minute you see the goal" Jess Moyse fired at the goal only to be
beaten by the crossbar. The game was end to end with both goalies playing
a vital role in getting the ball out of their half. Reffley tried to keep
passing the ball around until eventually finding Flack on the wing
who took the opportunity to beat the Walpole GK. Half time and the game
was in our favour. Game on in the second half with Walpole determined to
get the goal back but not taking into account the more focused Reffley
squad. Browne, now rested was firing from the hip and took every
opportunity to go for goal. Witt as usual working tirelessly put one
narrowly past the post. Nichols and Morton swapping in defense to support
Taylor both showed that they are settling into the team well. Some
excellent passing of the ball proved the winning combination and Browne,
on form with corners, floated several beautiful corners over that glanced
the woodwork to go over. Training from midweek obviously still fresh in
her mind, unfortunately the crossbar was on the Walpole side this week and
prevented her from scoring. A very well fought game from Walpole who kept
fighting for that goal. An extremely stressful last 10 minutes for the
Reffley manager but the girls held out to notch up their first league win.
Final result Reffley 1 Walpole 0
Regardless of the result, this was a
"TEAM" performance with everyone playing their part and
protecting Swales in goal. Well done girls, this could have gone either
way.
MotM: Browne for superb corner kicks.
Thanks to Tim Cockle for stepping in at
short notice as Ref!!

09 SEPT 2006: REFFLEY 3-2 WISBECH ACORNS (Friendly)
Squad: Swales, Taylor, Morton, Horsnell, Flack,
Browne, Witt, Nichols, Moyse, Abbott.
Having just resumed training this friendly was expected to be tough going
against a very formidable Wisbech team. Team talks seem to have been taken
on board as the girls came out firing from all cylinders and not requiring
the usual 10 minute wake up call. Captain Taylor led the team who camped
out in the Wisbech half for most of the game. It took 10 minutes or more
before Wisbech set up their first goal which only seemed to spur Reffley
on. Passing has improved and communication amonst the squad proved to be
the success story today allowing Witt to score a very rare goal.
Wisbech pulled a second one back but still against the flow of the game.
Second half again a strong team talk to encourage the girls to shoot at
any opportunity and to take on players rather than back off was taken on
board and some minor changes saw Browne sidelined to regain some energy.
New player, Horsnell was finding her feet alongside Taylor and Nichols
looked strong in whatever position she was asked to play in. Abbott,
playing outfield today looked comfortable moving the ball around. Moyse
was set up for a goal which the Acorns goal stopped and let drop to her
feet appearing to have crossed the line but the ref hadnt seen it so play
continued. again the Reffley squad gathered theirselves together to mount
another attack on the flagging Wisbech team and Moyse this time
found the back of the net. Some changes again returning Flack to
the side who straight away pick the ball up and float one past the keeper.
Some areas to be worked on in training but a very good all round
performance trying Morton, Nichols and Horsnell in defence with Taylor
allowed Swales to take a back seat during most of the game.
A superb effort all round against some very experienced players allowing
us to prepare for the forthcoming fixtures and try out some new squad
members. Well done girls for a performance to be proud of, lets continue
this throughout the season.
Final score: 3-2
Reffley MotM: Taylor for the very strong tackles made to protect her goal,
Witt for another tireless performance.
Thanks to Rob and the girls from Wisbech for making the trip over, we look
forward to the re-match.
