The Leopards' first pre-match huddle of the season

Today saw us kick off the season at home against Pace Cougars. Pace are a strong team and provided difficult opposition against which to start the season. All, or at least most, matches kick off at 14.00 this season, as did today’s game. The pitches have had a good summer and are in excellent condition. In spite of a 2-3 scoreline Leopards gaffer Jim was sanguine in his appraisal of our first run-out, saying, “Result notwithstanding [it was] an encouraging performance in parts”. Well done to all the players, who are juggling weekend footy with coming to terms with their new school environments. Enjoy the season everyone.

A couple of other things.

We start the new season on Sunday [...]]]> Having now digested the hand-outs from yesterday’s pre-season meeting and scanned some highlights back in to the electronic format from whence they came, there are a few pages that may be of interest that you can download by clicking here (the quality’s not great but it keeps the file-size lower).

We start the new season on Sunday 6th September at home to Pace Cougars. Our kick-off time for home games is 14:00.

An omission from today’s ceremony: thanks, Jim, for your as-ever tremendous commitment—surely that should be “obsession” (Ed.)—and effort over the season – it is much appreciated!

Well done Leopards for an excellent season. Have a splendid summer everyone. Hasta luego …
