Calum was called up to be goal keeper for his school football team tonight - in the cheshire schools cup final! He hasn’t played in goal for ages since taking up rugby instead of football. And they won! 5-1. Hopefully there’ll be a photo to follow.

The revival in the fortunes of Calum’s football team continues. The won their second match on the trot beating Temple Tigers 2-0. They are still rooted to the bottom of the table but have a lot more points now.

Calum’s football team, Athletico Alexandra played Betley on a very windy morning in Nantwich today. The team started slowly and were losing 3-0 by half time. After a very robust team talk by coach Kevin, they made a dramatic comeback to win by 4 goals to 3. Calum had a very good game in midfield, playing some great through balls and making some very strong headers.

Another sporting sunday! Calum had a football match against the league leaders today and it was a very bruising affair. The other team were very dirty and it became a bad tempered match. Calum played in midfield and had a great game. He defended well and played some great through passes. There was a lot of verbal abuse around and coupled with a very weak referee it was not a great game to watch. Calum is very strong on the pitch and gave as good as he got. For the record, they lost 4-2. Two of the opposition goals shouldn’t have counted (offside and foul on the goalkeeper) but at least Calum enjoyed it - much worse for the parents.<
