Bonus "STS" pic from yesterday - Jordan Cuff 'contemplates' ...
... a glorious Sunday afternoon - got there in good time, having done some shopping earlier in the day (might have been a Sunday but the inbuilt "postie body clock" still got me up early (damn !). Cock-a-Leekie soup suitably made (and left on the hob to cool) and up to Seel Park for the North West Youth Alliance Open Cup Semi-Final. Opponents Marine B are in the division below Mossley, but were top of their table having scored 60 goals and conceded only 9 in their 15 games, so a tight encounter was envisaged ...
... and so it proved, even taking into account the fact that the Mossley side have played something like 24 games in the last 72 hours (a possible exaggeration ... but you get the picture !). 0-0 was a fair reflection of the first half, but Mossley finally broke the deadlock with a belter from England Schools International Fabio Abreu unleashing an unstoppable shot from just outside the box. This was the turning point - and Mossley didn't look back. Two more goals gave the final scoreline a slightly flattering look, but the home side were well worth their win in the end. Some pictures at ...

... before returning home and doing a nice "lamb chop dinner" and nodding off in front of "Harry Potter 3" !!
Back in Oldham for work today - I now appear to be a "floater" (i.e. nothing regular) - first day at it today so the jury is still out - although it does go against my pre-conceptions/ethos of regular walk/knowing your walk/your customers/their foibles/the walk's foibles. We'll see how this "day to day" career pans out ...
... and the new kitchen has begun - apparently it didn't take too long to rip the old one out - and new cabinets/drawers have started to appear ... and don't worry - pictures of before/during/after etc etc are being taken for posterity !!!
Had thought about going over to Curzon Ashton tonight for their "one point to confirm a play-off place" game against Clitheroe - but what with sorting out yesterday's pix - and also running a damp rag around bits of the kitchen to "keep on top of it all" - it's now 1920 hrs - and Mrs Smiffy has just got back from "Zumba" ("traditional dance of Mossley" as it's known in the Smiffy household !!!), so the posh beef stew - created yesterday on return from football - is now going to be "re-heated and eated" - will keep an eye on the non-league vidiprinter for tonight's footy action (probably whilst nodding off in front of "Harry Potter 4" !!).
Will probably wander up to Seel Park tomorrow evening (1830 hrs kick-off) for another dose of Mossley Youth in their league game against Woodley Sports Youth - no way will I make it to Leigh Genesis v Mossley (don't think so anyway - we'll see !).
