Pure sporting enjoyment...

The team I manage (Leckhampton Rovers Cougars U11's) played a Gloucester County Cup game yesterday against St. Marks U12's losing 3-0 but putting up a valiant, brave performance.

My son, Luca, plays on the left wing. He's very quick and strong when running, he can make run after run in a match and deliver a cross left or right footed (I am his proud father give me a break!).

Anyway yesterday he was playing a tough match and had few opportunities to get forward. When he did he made strong runs and got his cross in. After the game we were talking about the match and his performance and he said, "...I love it when I'm running and i get past a player, it feels really good and i know he won't catch me..."

I love that.
