UNBELIEVABLE

Where do I start with this?

We were in a group of 5 teams. 7 sets, so first to 4 would get the points. We won our first 2 comfortably, but then got beaten 4-3 by Pau. An easy win in the last game saw us through the group stage.  

So, through to the last 16, which to be honest was our maximum expectation.

Vitre were beaten 4-0 in the last 16

There were 6 of us in the squad and we could only play 4 at a time so the problem now as captain was to keep everyone happy.

1/4 finals and a 4-1 win against Angers, last years winners. 

The Vitre lot were very friendly, and there is a fair chance we will play them in a pre season friendly next year.

I cracked and had to have a fag before the semis.

So it was Calais in the semi final.

I decide not to pick myself for the game and went with Seb, Andy, John, and Robert.

Whilst the game was on I turned round and there were hundreds watching from the gallery, cheering for us as the "small village"

Sadly we lost 4-1, and after a play off game we finished 3rd.

At this point the camera ran out of juice.

Just my luck.

The celebration meal in the evening was outstanding in the fine city of Lorient.

Where is the cup you may ask..Well, it will be delivered this coming week along with a very profitable cheque for a fine days work.

I really don't know where this team goes from here. I can't imagine it getting any better than this.

The Ouest France newspaper are coming down for the presentation, so I will post a link on here later in the week.

3rd in a National Competition! I would never have dreamed it.
