Guys, I could not resist another competition... Who do you think will win tonight ? If you guess the correct score, you will be put into the hat to win a pair of the J4K Patriots. https://j4ksports.co.uk/collections/patriot/products/patriot-england Get commenting below. !!!

So played a casual session match at Leek Town F.C. F.Ball Community stadium as part of the A.C.E. (Active Community Engagement) Programme and my team won 6-1. Very nearly got a clean sheet however I picked up a calf injury in the first half doing a forward parry dive to prevent a 1v1 situation and put enormous force on my left calf so I'm out til next week, and I could swear the other team's loan goal was offside but that's upto the conspiracy theorists as we don't typically play with a ref or officials! Also I was thinking of getting one of those A.I. tracking cameras to film some of my casual sessions as a goalkeeper, not just to post on social media but to help me examine my techniques and how I could improve. Apologies also for being so quiet on here, just don't use this too often nonetheless I have been focusing on my goalkeeping so don't think I've quit the fold!

I've put this into my notes but I don't think It needs much explanation I didn't get picked but there was several things wrong with this process time like the first trial where I spent most of it in outfield drills and not alot of time in my net . In the second trial I had not alot of playing time and had to do 2v2s whilst I waited and it drained me. In the final trial the GK session was very short and didn't feel like a full session and fitted the outfield games around the session when it should be the other way around. GK sessions felt poor quality and didn't let me show all of my aspects of goalkeeping and very limited time to show what I can do. No feedback even though I was told I would get a detailed explanation on why I've not been chosen if I wasn't and i was told to look on YouTube for handling techniques even though I was good at handling and only conceded 3 goals. Why did they bring both keepers down to not take either of them and in my opinion it was a waste of my time if neither of us was going to get chosen. I think I did everything I could do including distribution, comminution, footwork, shot stopping and htime like the first trial where I spent most of it in outfield drills and not alot of time in my net . In the second trial I had not alot of playing time and had to do 2v2s whilst I waited and it drained me.

Thank you for everyone's birthday wishes today, it's been a great day. Starting with breakfast out, a walk around Bedford, the Splatter room, dinner out with Xavier and my mum and then a cake back at my mum's house (which Xavier chose & put candles on). Kirsty

Leek Town FC Casual team competed in the Staffordshire chamber of commerce tournament yesterday and we made it to the semi finals. We were top of our group in the group stages and I only conceeded 1 goal in 7 games! In the semi final we were beaten by the team that went on to be champions, they were just a lot younger and trained by professional players, as we just play casually against each other on a Friday and occasionally have a kick about on a Sunday. However this was a fantastic day and we all enjoyed it! For a bunch of guys who have a kick about on a Friday I think we did well! Here's to many more competitive games!
