Chesham Strides U15 on the march

24/01/2010 by Russell.

Back to winning ways in a keenly contested game against Widmer End. After taking a lead somewhat against the run of play after 10 mins played, the first half ended with Strdies 2-1 down. An end to end game with both sides playing competitively.

The second half saw Chesham conceded a goal against the general direction of play. Not to be deterred, CHesham game back gamely to score a second goal fromEric’s corner. As the minutes ticked by and with ten minutes left Eric scored only his second goal of the season with a swerving drive from the edge of the box, 3-3- and game on. With only miutes left, the ball dropped to Eric on the edge of the box who shot unerringly into the net from 20 yards, the ball was parried on to the crossbar and over the line. Eric has been consistently one of our top players all season.

The last minute wasn’t without its drama with Tom, clearing a ball dropping over the line for a corner after Toby had been lobbed by the Widmer number 9.

We march on……….

14th January - a year on

13/01/2010 by Russell.

Is it really a year ago my father died, seems so long ago, but alas the events of the day won’t be forgotten by Brenda, his nephew Robin, Isabelle or indeed me. We loved him to the end. Here are a few photo’s, but not the ones I was looking for…..

Here is the man looking out from Curbar/Froggat Edge, Derbyshire. Derbyshire was really his favourite place.

Ivinghoe - Brrr it was cold

09/01/2010 by Russell.

Went out on my travels again, the roads were very dicey, even in town, had to dig the car out first.

Obviously I upset Emily again, about looking at these postings on the web, childish, but not much to ask for? can’t help but nag unnecessarily ie take some interest in what her Dad does. Am trying my level best to get more interaction from her, but if she’s not willing to at least have a surf even when a link is sent…. then I have no answer. I know facebook, social networks and friends are far more important, but why do I have to live at the bottom of the pecking order? Also Telegraph leads today on A level tariff’s going up at the Universities, I hope Emily takes heed.

Looking to Ivinghoe Beacon, from the Ridgeway
