Cool, we have a friendly on Sunday morning against Brimpton up at their pitch. 10.30 kick off, so get there for 10.00.

Brimpton are in the Premier Division, but struggled at the bottom of it last season and narrowly missed coming down, so we were close to playing them in Div 1 anyway. That said, a rest is as good as a change and they've got some very composed players, who all look to make the ball work, so it could be a good exercise in Shefford defending and fitness. We once went 2-0 up against them in a friendly, but they eventually managed to claw their way back into the game to win it 3-12. Yes, that's twelve.

A good test for us after playing Westwood in that heat. We'll need to have much better control, much better movement and much better use of the ball. Other than that we'll be fine...
