It was a tough, tense, physical game, but leading scorer Ben Templeton netted the crucial goal taking the team through to the Plate final. Another beautiful turn and volley, but it was the fantastic defending that kept us in the match. Phil ‘Solid as a rock’ Stenton lead from the back, while Ilango and Tom smashed the midfield.

Only trouble is, we’re a bunch of crocks after that match, injuries everywhere! Here’s a pic of the full strength team followed by some action shots.

Some of you might already have heard about our dalliances with the world of education, but here in all it’s glory is the launch video for our Industry Day product. It was all filmed on location at Bournemouth University Media School with the 2nd year students on Interactive Media Production. We had a fantastic time with everyone down there and can’t wait to roll it out around Britain in the next academic year. Find out more about the Industry Day, and check out Dan’s sexy centre-parting in the video below…

The project was first commissioned through the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice, based at Bournemouth Media School. There is more information here about the day on the CEMP site. A big thankyou to Holly Budge of Hip Joint Films for her hard work on the video. There’ll be a 3 minute taster on the way too, as this one might be a little long for the casual user…

Some bad news and SOME GOOD NEWS!!! Leading scorer Ben Templeton netted again today, but sadly the goal was disallowed (ref finally chose to blow the whistle for the ball leaving play 30 second earlier) so we ended up with a remarkable 0-0 draw with the favourites for the tournament, Supply Chain A. In the previous match, Tom Dowding put in a fantastic defensive performance, and provided the essential assist for Ben’s perfect side step and rifling shot from 20 yards…Next up, the Quarter Finals in the Plate Cup.

A film that has cropped up recently on the Rubber blog and Connecting Bristol is showing people what it’s really like for us lucky people to be working here in the South West.

For us it’s all about having the open spaces, greenery, no tube stations, no shoulder-to-shoulder grinding with suited monkeys and always having really amazing (more…)

Ok, so we got trashed 4-0, but Dan did score at both ends with spectacular flying volleys. Not sure what our keeper thought as Dan attempted a triple bicycle kick into his own net, but he made amends at the other end in the 2nd half, only to have the goal disallowed for entering the area

In fairness, none of us had played together, but we put up a good fight. The score flattered the HP lads, we had some ace chances on goal and we’ll be back faster, better and stronger for the game next Monday…
