Cheeky wee trip down to Portsmouth on Wednesday evening to AR in the Inverdale Cup, hoping Phi E can throw some light on what this competition is and the standard.

Saturday I am away to the West coast to Irvine in a National 3 match, 4 hour round trip then its the Society dinner that evening so sharpish back to the Burgh' to get suited and booted.

The Inverdale Challenge is a Command Level competition.
This years finalists are The Fleet Air Arm and the Royal Navy Western Region.
I think they might be playing it on the 3G pitch???
I would imagine it is about level 5 or 6; so maybe level 3 or 4 in Scotland?

speak for yourself! :wink:

On the cards. My (professional) opinion is a grade 2 tear. The worrying sign from yesterday when checked over pitch side was a complete absence of pain when it happened, just a shocking sensation of something running up my leg and bunching at the top just under my knee, and the lack of movement in my ankle. Further inspection and ice/compression/elevation at home shows intact Achilles' and active contraction in the lateral head. This morning the medial head is sagging and flaccid but there is active plantar flexion.

Ouch :wow: Bummer mate, been through that (not as bad) and it's a real bummer, just as you're getting to the business end of the season!

Surgery?

 

[Browner]

Cleanly torn my calf today at an U16 game. Crutches, rehab and end of my season. Gutted!

Ouch, unlucky.

Hopefully it is of the standard you mention as earlier on in the season I was involved with a RAF Divisional final which was a poor game and not a great standard.

I'm going to be at Silao, Guanajuato, MEX. It's the last round on the girls Regional Championship.

Gloucester v Ospreys in the LV for me. Place your bets on how long it takes for the Shed to get in a "you don't know what you're doing"...

Sadly it all depends on what players are available on the day, what players haven't been deployed to squadrons it ships.
In an ever decreasing armed forces, still expected to be a global force, it's getting harder than ever to get players time off for sport......as I am sure you are aware.

Maybe they'll take pity on you because of your tender years. They're nice like that I understand

Not live. I think ITV have highlights.

Congrats.
