Today, Wednesday November 22nd, saw the first of (hopefully) a weekly session of normal rules running football. We only had 8 players turn up, but those that did had a great run out in good weather for a couple of hours. A nice relaxed game with very little physical contact, and no need to worry about the ref blowing up for running. Continue reading “First running football session a success”

Movember update
Following our appeal for everyone to “grow a mo” for Prostate Cancer Awareness, we’ve decided to donate the subs received in the last week of November to a Prostate Cancer charity here in Portugal. Some of us will be growing moustaches and getting sponsorship to help swell the fund.
Joy Kennedy at the Black Anchor/Beira Ria Restaurant in Tavira is very kindly allowing us to hold a raffle on the occasion of their 10th Anniversary bash on the 11th November. We would be grateful for donation of prizes for the raffle and/or donations. Please let Chris Wright know.
We thank you as always

It is hoped that these sessions will then continue on a weekly basis if interest remains high.
