A nice footballing team Grangevale , comfortable v Grattan B earlier in Mayfield. 3-0 when i went away presume they saw it out. ( Maybe Grattan were "short a few" ).
Ya confidence is key. You'd want to be somewhat close to fitness and game plan at this stage with 2 weeks to go. Even with a friendly, you'd be happy for the week with a win and be ****ed off with a loss. Good when you win to focus on improving and keeping the positives going, a bad loss and you're starting with mostly negatives.
Looking forward to seeing what teams are like in 2 weeks, having seen a lot of teams around, some difference in where teams are at. Seen a Junior game and a Senior game this weekend, good to be back.
On the other hand, playing poor opposition and winning easy can bite you when the serious stuff starts. Has to be a challenge to get good use from the friendlies or no point.
20mins left in Mayfield park, Leeds juniors 1-0 up . See the evergreen Alan Larkin and Dave Linehan down from the seniors with Leeds. No sign of Leeds goal machine Martin Cronin though. Few lads blowing hard now on the big pitch and pace of the game very slow.
Good to see the first fixtures out.

Haha Friday nights @8 in Banteer, city teams will have a long night!
It will be a good advantage for Banteer, players must be delighted there.
It's a shame we can't go to games now, some interesting openers. Glenthorn v Grattan would be a good watch to see where they are at.
