JD-LIONS 1-2 BACK-INTER-BRYAN

I arrived back in Birmingham, moved into Dawn's flat with no hassle and then made my debut for the JDFC franchise on sunday night. On my way into the massive multi-pitch astro-turf, playing area I was nearly brained by two 'hooray-henry's' practising their lacrosse drills and one of them missed the goal and the 9oz rubber-ball just whizzed past my head, that would've been an inauspicious start. I was fairly pleased with my debut night, despite losing three games! First off; in division four That-Team FC 3-2 Real-JDFC: I conceded a goal after approximately four minutes. Long-range, right-footed, in off the base of my right post-my first touch back in Birmingham was to pick the ball out of the net! We went 2-0 down and pulled a goal back in the second half, a left-foot thunderbolt flew past me to make it 3-1 to That-Team FC and we pulled another goal back but eventually lost 2-3. We are 9th in the league out of 12. I played quite well though making several decent saves; despite very windy conditions and the heavily watered pitch (Birmingham university like it drenched, aparently)

JD-Lions 1-2 Back-Inter-Bryan FC: In our next match;a second division local derby against former team-mates, we started better and went into halftime level at 0-0, I'd made a few good saves and felt that we could go onto win it. During the second half a long-range drive flew by me in off the post and we were behind, until Alex popped up with a rifle that deflected in, 1-1. Unfortunately with only three minutes left I conceded a low drive past my right hand and we never recovered. A 1-2 defeat, leaving us 8th out of 12 in the league.

Other News: JD-Lions were beaten 5-3 in a friendly against an unknown division one team, I made a load of good saves in this one despite conceding five goals. I conceded 10 in three games so my record is not great at the moment. NCP Manchester 0-0 Jolly Sailors: This result means that The Bee's remain 7th for the second month in a row and the Sailors hopes of a league title are diminishing. I have re-registered with Katie Bard recruitment and start a temp job "lifting and shifting" at a law-firm warehouse in the city centre on friday, for three days. Need money and maybe I'll get a little bit of excercise out of it. Applied for British Transport Police job (as a civilian) aswel.
