Like it - you will get on well in the Alliance

Yeh he scored and he behaved too

I always behave myself! A very makeshift Wigston Rangers last night only 8 of the lads played for us last season, hence the lack of cohesion. Wasn't a bad performance in the end. Thurmaston are a very young bunch with alot of fitness, that should carry them through well this season. Good luck Ian, and if you fancy another friiendly nearer the season we are free on August 14th.

cheers dan, put us down for august 14th .all the best ian.

Little Bowden 4-2 Wigston Rangers

Dan Mitchell and New boy Michael Peck with the goals for Wigston. We actually played quite well today probably should have been a draw tried out some new players in new positions decent effort. Scored a cracking header but missed a sitter, mixed day for me personally. Cheers Bowden for the game, great bunch of lads, that Barby lads a bit special.

Cheers to you guys. Game played in a good spirit, always enjoy the games against you guys. Nice to see you try and put the ball down and play it. Send my apologies to your midfield lads for some of the hard challenges.

All the best for the new season.

Haha, no worries Ed, they are more than used to it. Yeah we seem to always enjoy playing you boys hopefully we will be in the same division again next year. Perhaps us trying to get the ball down and play it is the reason we dont win many!

QPR 4-5 LDA Spartans

We gave them a 3-0 lead with silly mistakes very early on. Once we got going we played some very good stuff and pretty much dominated the second half from start to finish.

LDA goals from Stu Pratt (2), Stan Wallis, Mark Green & Dave Kennedy.

bullshead athletic 3 - 0 st marks f.c
mobbs 3

qpr 4 spartans 5
typical qpr style- first half played well, should have scored alot more but that will come with sharpness, new strike partnership looking great, both put a shift in and made their defence think for a change. everything went downhill 2nd half when we made some changes. totally changed our style and lost the workrate which gave spartans so much time to get on the ball and cause us problems. my fault for 2 of the goals but these things happen
going to be interesting playing against these in the season, great bunch of lads and althou i was dissapointed to loose, quite a lot of positives to build on

QPR-2 Inter Mivan-3

Mivan finally get their first win! Made it hard for ourselves though! We could of have double figures by the end of the first half.. but somehow ended up 0-0 at half time. We came striaght out the block second half and took the lead. The game finished 3-2 with us takinf the lead everytime.

Overall good performance.. need to take or chances though.. QPR good bunch of lads, good luck for the new season!

FC COL 5-4 Wigston Rangers
0-0 at half time somehow we failed to score. We made a silly substitute at half time put a lad on at centre half that couldnt hack it. 5-1 down. Subbed the poor lad off again with 10 minutes to go and we got it back to 5-4. We played the better foootball.
I bagged the 4 WRFC goals, they were a good bunch of lads, but had we not been messing around with new players we would have won. Good luck to them for the new season.

top lad is stu, what position did he play for you in the game? Good left back but likes it up front.

Niffy 2-4 Niffy Reserves

Good game as the reserves beat the first team, both teams trying out a few new lads and both playing a couple of my A team lads.

how did saff lounge get on against the car breakers at the weekend ?

fosse city 3 - 1 bullshead athletic
tyler lee breedon
bullies were poor today without taking any credit off a resiliant fosse team, no excuses for bullies they had a decent line up allthough 5 first teamers (asante,chambers,julian,coton,kewmoss) missing out of the team! fitness the key at the moment but games against teams like fosse city will have us match fit come the first game of the season!!!! well done fosse! you'll do well this season! good bunch of lads

We had different keepers in each half..? Agree with most of whats been said, you were always gonna have most of the ball, lots of quality players all over the pitch. We defended really well and were dangerous on the counter. Good luck to Bullshead for next season, good bunch of lads and hopefully will build on last season.

Also, Fosse goals from, Dean Morgan, Joe Dunmore and an OG that Declan Swann is claiming.

Dave, I'm still waiting for the surprise I was promised!???

cheers jimmy b got a decent side down there too mate. keeper second half was the one that stood out for me looked very agile and made some good stops. the counter attacking abilitys of ur team are very good too very fast turning defense into attack which is always gonna be dangerous for any team to deal with. as for scotts own goal tell declan he can claim it mate i would do the exact same

Jimmyb was in goal second half. Not bad keeping for last seasons division 2 top goalscorer.

I am claiming that goal too!

City of Leicester-3 Inter Mivan-4

Kicked off at 3pm in the searing heat with just 11 players and no keeper! We started well but ended up 1-0 behind after some poor defending.. we managed to turn the game around though to go in 2-1 up at half time. We started second half well and went 3-1 up, could of been four, if one of the COL subs hadnt blew a whistle when our lad went through one on one.. but in the end, having no subs hit us and the game was at 3-3, then we snatched it late on. Today was about getting through the 90 mins in weather like today, with a bonus win. Things are starting to turn (touch wood)...

Congrats again Mivan, thats two on the spin then.....bet that pint tasted sweet after playing in that heat!

VP Rangers 2 Superfly 1

1pm K.O in that heat was unbearable and I was in goal! close contested game goals from Nick Wilson and Porty.

Looking strong this year with 4 new decent signings.

MDH Knights 5-2 Thurmaston

goals from Stevens 2, Brennan, Dunne and Day.

Thurmaston are a good set of lads and were well in the game for most of it, a couple of dangerous lads that could give teams problems this season, they were much sharper than us but that was expected as we haven't started training and it was our first run out since the end of last season. Our fitness, touch and passing was far from it's best making mistakes from back to front but turned the screw a bit in the last 3rd as they tired in the heat and should of had a few more. Job done now off to Spain to start our pre-season training

we have a bit of beach 5 a side organised, does that not count

great bunch of lads at mdh, will take thurmaston time to adjust to adult football. silly mistakes in defence cost us goals and the heat got to some players at the end . should be an interesting first season.

i'd agree, you have some talented players and will get stronger as the season goes on and players adjust, will be a very competetive division and good luck to you (not too much though )

Result from this morning..

Perrin Rangers 4 - 2 Fosse City

Thought we completely dominated the first half today, playing some really good football in the process. Declan Swan finished off a quality Fosse move to open the scoring, but we were then pegged back by a stunning 30 yarder against the run of play. We (cobbo) then missed a penalty and fell behind to an OG to go in at half time 2-1 down

We struggled to get going in the second half but did grab a lucky equaliser (another OG). Last 15 minutes we completely stopped playing and (an understrength?) Perrin completely took control, scoring a scrappy 3rd and then a decent 4th.

Overall, I thought Fosse probably edged it but we missed a few sitters and gave away a couple of sloppy goals. A decent runout and good luck to Perrin in the Premiership this season.

Can't believe the keeper plucked it out of the top corner.

thought you boys passed and moved well first half and to be fair was by far the better side first half, a team well up for it..to go 2-1 up at half time was against the run off play for sure . second half after a chat we burnt the saturday night off and knocked it around a bit . and it was a bit . well played fosse just the game we needed and all the best for the for comming season

QPR -1 Inter Mivan -4

Organised another freindly against QPR last mintue and both teams had a good turn out.
It was 0-0 at half time with each team pretty much canceling each other out. We did all the business in the second half and did it well. Team are really starting to gel now and looking forward to the rest of pre season and getting the season started!

QPR again were a good bunch of lads and game was played in good spirits. Good luck for the season!!

Scorers:
Nick Walsh
Lee Cleaver
Simon Harper
Andy Blainey

I have heard its a very different Inter Mivan side to the one that lost so many games last season. A little bit of wheeling and dealing going un noticed there.
