5 points from 9, and ball boys

As I write this our charges have mercifully just held off the challenge of our former leader's Shepherd's Bush gazillionnaires, thanks to an Oh Lord penalty.

The YDO was in attendance at last week's entertainment-fest against Preston, a match notable for so many exciting incidents that I can recall none of them, with the exception of the hilarious incompetence of the new Cashless Card system now in place at the hallowed Ricoh. Fortunately thanks to JL's absence I did not have to outlay for the pleasure of witnessing the dour goalless draw between 2 decidedly average teams (as they will be every game this season, one feels).

YDO is now able to focus more on the push for mid-table anonymity, with the conclusion of the Olympics, the IGLFA World Championships (Falcons bronze medallists, making some friends and more enemies) and tomorrow the World Junior Diving Championships (go Tom!).

Pleased to note Gunnar's brace of recent assists, and wishes CB, G2, and JL a pleasant trip to the sea-side next weekend. Suitable photos from Pontins are expected.

Caption competition via comments please: what is Funning Cox saying in the last photo? I shall submit my entry once your's are received.
