ASK ‘AMMO?

Hi… I’m Lee Hammond and welcome to my new series of ASK ‘AMMO ? You can ask me anything you like about the game of football.

This week we kick off with a letter from Gary Reay. Reay Man asks……Hi Lee….you’re great at taking peno’s….can I ask you…what is the secret of taking a great peno like you?

Well…thanks for the letter Gaz. Being from Wallasey you should know what the secret is! All Wallasians have six fingers but it is a little known fact that certain Wallasians have six toes! I have six toes on my left peg and this gives me extra power and accuracy on my spot kicks. That extra digit gives me that little bit more in the dual between me and the keeper. By the way Gaz… if you think your getting the next peno…think again ‘cos I’m gonna win The Golden High Heel this year….. so do one Reay Man !

Brow 3-1 Dock (Cheshire Sunday Cup R2)

A disappointing exit from the Cheshire Cup at the hands of The Brow in a game where we seemed to have most of the play but ended up losing the tie because of not putting the ball away when the chances came begging. I’ll keep this short because I don’t want to write about a Cheshire Cup defeat and try and fathom any reasons as to why we got beat and I don’t think we can gain any laughs from reporting in the usual style.

That said, If anyone thinks that they had a decent game please make themselves known and if anyone wants to point the finger (management excluded) please point because you would get fingers pointed back at you.

As stated, we seemed on top for large periods but conceded goals at the wrong times. Off the top of my head I think they scored early ( first 10 mins ), then added another on the stroke of half-time and it’s looking like ‘ White Cliffs’ at the break. We’ve missed chances….Reay Man….Saunders….Reay Man again. They missed a peno and that seemed to gee us up a bit and Hammond nets one himself near the end and we’re in with half a chance. Lack of discipline crept in towards the end or should I say frustration crept in and we concede a late penalty to end our hopes for another year.

The Village Road Runners will be collecting again in a few months, so if any individuals have old Liverpool, Everton, Tranmere etc shirts / kits which you would like to donate to a good cause, please use the contact facility on this site to arrange collection. Also, if any teams have kits they no longer use then we would be more than pleased to take them off your hands.
