Captain's Corner - January 2006 (1st Edition)

This is Captain Paul Dwinfour's missed December, start of January installment:

"Forwards we go into 2006 full of hope for a successful second part of the season. I genuinely believe we have good reason to be optimistic provided we can pick up where we left off pre-Christmas in terms of form and endeavour.

The 3-2 loss to WKK in our last game of 2005 was unfortunate and we rightly felt disappointed, but when you consider that WKK are consistently one of the strongest sides in the league and are currently joint league leaders then you realise how far we’ve come in terms of our own expectations.



As always, it’s important for us to remain focused for and throughout each game. If we maintain our commitment so will we maintain every prospect of continuing to do well and finishing in the top half of the league. We’ve some tough games to come and results will have to be earned, but let there be no doubt in any of our minds what we are capable of.

Particularly pleasing in recent matches has been the display of skill and resolve from the team despite player unavailability. The 3-3 draw with Munchen was an extremely encouraging, positive performance epitomising the spirit that will carry us through to real success. It’s important for us to try our best in every game.

A number of delights and successes were experienced through 2005 including a trip to Sheffield, the Tournoi event in Spain and the completion of a satisfactory first full season in the Barnesalona league. Let’s look forward to even more fun and success in 2006."
