Learning to talk backwards is surely on a par with perfecting a header, the skills of the squad grow stronger and stronger as the days go by. Lowlights: Being thwacked by passing branches on an open top bus victory tour of Bristol. Our dedicated and patriotic squad will let nothing, not even fast moving branches, dampen their team spirit... all in the name of the beautiful game! Man of the match: Bryony Rutter, our Deputy Stage Manager, for keeping "the book" the most accurate and up-to-date player manual on the planet. Final score: 3-1. Playing as a unit, the World Cup Final 1966 team are looking exceedingly strong, gaining a massive advantage this week. Equipped with the new found ability to tackle anything (including branches) that might fly their way, the squad look intent on lifting that trophy this season.
