After some disappointing performances in the qualifying round robin matches of the WFLA National Cup at Coleshill, where the over 65s drew three matches, won one and lost two, which saw us outside the qualifiers for the next round, we were surprised to hear that we will be in the draw for the next round due to Solihull Moors who finished in top place, fielding unregistered players and were therefore disqualified from the competition.
Some may say we were lucky to be included in the next round but our club selected a team of players who were of the correct age and registered by the club, thereby abiding by the rules.
We go into the next round hoping to improve our performance and progress into the finals just as we did last year.
Good luck in the next round to the 65s and also to our over 70s when they compete in the same competition at Rushall next week.
