With frost snow and all sorts forecast this week we have to get a bit clever and creative with regards to training. Most County sides will look out the window and not train I guess but as with last week when we managed to sort an indoor five a side training session for the first team at Lewes Leisure Centre, this week we have organised a similar session but this time we have a two hour indoor session on Tuesday night at Peacehaven Leisure Centre this time for the entire squad. The squad will be split and Deb will text you your time for your session. In short, if she tells you, you are on 8 till 9, get there at 7.45 and you’ll be off by 9. If you are told 9, get there at 8.45 and you’ll be off by 10. Got it? No? Just tip up when she says then…
On Thursday, and yet to be confirmed, we will either train at the club if it thaws or we’ll be going out to Plumpton College for another indoor session. We think the indoor sessions speed up agility so whilst its not totally in line with normal mid week training its better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick and will serve our needs sufficiently through this cold snap.
The cold snap didn’t stop the Shoreham v Horsham YM game going ahead at Shoreham though although I think a lot of people thought it should never have been played. I didn’t walk onto the pitch but I can vouch for the fact you could hear the crunching of frozen soil as the players ran across the surface. 2 - 2 the final score with Shoreham taking the lead with YM seemingly coming back to what most thought was an unassailable lead, 1-2 up at half time. But the lead was wiped out with the bullish Shoreham in the ascendancy in the second half. Not the greatest of games for me with both sides not impressing the crowd who were less than content with the football in combination with the minus 4 temperatures. I wont bore you with descriptive detail with regard to how cold we felt but without the use of the F word I’m struggling to explain. The F word being “freezing” of course…

I don’t feel too optimistic with regards to the chances of getting football on next Saturday but hey, here’s hoping huh? The front side play away at Chichester City. I went to watch Chichester play us last term at their place (in which we won, Jack Johnson getting a hat-trick if I recall) but from what I understand they’ve moved to their other place. What a luxury having two grounds a? Can you imagine that at Ringmer lol. The kick-off is as always 3pm. Deb will notify you of your involvement.
Our reserves play their fixture against the third placed side Hastings United at home on Saturday, 3pm ko again.

Our game last Saturday had zero chance of being on as I slid over to the Caburn to check if it was still there at 8am. It was still there but resembled Streatham Ice rink and after humorous call to the ref who asked me to organise a mid-day inspection as it was only 10.30, an hour and a half later and then it was ok to call it off. Our reserve game at Arundel had little drama to it - Arundel calling it off bright and early on Saturday morning.
See you all Tuesday night at training - if not then next Saturday at Chi if you can make it. If not try to get to the Caburn to get behind our reserves with Neil and Geoff.
