Today my team had a friendly against a team in a higher league to us last season. 1 player didn't show so we had 10 players. By half time we were down 2-0 the 1st goal the ref gave a penalty I had ran out and kicked the ball away the player jumped over my leg and dived i hadn't touched him and it wasn't even in the box but the ref reckoned I left my leg put which I hadn't. They tried the same on the second half but didn't get away with it. The second half we conceded a lot more as my team were exhausted and it showed. However I got a lot of praise from the opposition coaches, players and my team and i got MOTM along with another player. I wore the Supero gloves today which I was actually really impressed with I wasn't expecting them to be as good as white palms as usual they aren't but I was surprised as to how great the grip was and will wear them again tomorrow now

J4K wants to pass on our congratulations to Miles Thomas Miles has been wearing J4K from the start of his goalkeeping journey and now aged just 16 years old, he made his first team debut for Merthyr Town FC against Swansea City U21’s where he played the full 90 minutes, plus kept a clean sheet! Once again Miles, congratulations… the J4K team is very proud of your achievements.

We had our first preseason friendly this morning against a team that was in a higher league then us last season. We won 9-1 which sounds like i didn't do anything but I had to make quite a few big saves including a triple save and won 1v1's. I had a big part in playing out from the back, doing goal kicks, pass backs and throwing out to my wingers the whole team played brilliantly. The goal i conceded the ball hit me full on in the eye and I couldn't see for a while from dust and on a 1v1 the player literally tried running through me but all good 😂

Tonight i had my training session with the EJA team I'm trialling with. I absolutely loved it and i trained really well at the end we had a penalty shootout out of about 15 penalties i saved 11 and conceded 4. I have been given a kit bag with kit and training top for Sundays game. We are waiting on the tracksuit bottoms but I am so excited

Really positive feedback from my trial yesterday. Hi Kirsty, It was brilliant to meet yourself and Xavier yesterday and I was really impressed with his knowledge and ability with the goalkeeping position. I hope he enjoyed the session aswell? We have training again this Thursday 6-7:30pm and a friendly match on Sunday 2nd August. If Xavier is about on these two dates it would be great to have him come along. If he comes he will be the only goalkeeper and play the full game.
