The Invincibles Are No More

Much like Manchester City, the Clissold Rangers under-8s team is unbeaten no more. Despite a valiant second-half effort to close the deficit after slipping in two early goals, the boys fell short of the mark against a very good team in rather chilly conditions. There was some disappointment at the end, but the boys worked their socks off and needn't be too down-hearted. They are lion cubs each and every one of them. Remy, our keeper,...
Clissold Rangers: How The Captain's Mum Sees It

Usually at the weekend we split the sporting duties. Jeff does the outdoor sporting pursuits - the football. I do the indoor ones--tennis and swimming (in the warmth, with a cup of coffee and a magazine, so no contest). He does the 7.30am Match of the Day Sunday sitting, I do the mum's much-needed Sunday lie-in (back of the net!). However, with Sunday's after-match dinner comprising of listening to Oscar's lively match reports over a...

Clissold Rangers Under 8's November Review Match 1: Today we played a tough match and we did as our coach told us to do in training on Saturday. Before the match we also had a one minute silence to remember all the people who died in the wars. During the match we were on fire, passing it a lot and not letting the other team get the ball. I was proud of my team because they were playing so well. We won by two. Daragh scored with a...

So Many Goals We Almost Lost Count

Any chance Arsenal can buy the whole team and then draw beards on them.....

It was hard not to feel sorry for the opposition. Due to FA regulations we cannot mention them, but we wish them well, knowing they will undoubtedly get better as the season progresses. For Clissold Rangers' new under-8s side, it was the best possible start: a 14-0 romp, with goals spread throughout team. Supporters basking in the glorious Indian summer sun were treated not just to a goalfest from the Clissold boys but to an all-round...

It was billed as the game which would decide which team had the ability to challenge the runaway leaders Manchester United for the title, but after ending 0-0, its fair to say Sir Alex Ferguson's men will have two challengers to face up to. Manchester City, for all that money spent and all the media hype around their title challenge, came to the Emirates looking to do one thing - not concede. Arsenal on the other hand showed us why...

The proposed pitches would be located near the Endymion Road entrance and could also accommodate netball, hockey and tag rugby games. The plans also include new parking spaces for up to 83 cars.
