Sandmere P-P RECREATIVO 29.11.09
After battling through another sunday morning storm, getting lost in some industrial wasteland in South East London, re-jigging a team sheet after the usual late pull outs, a goalkeeper who's gone AWOL and unable to see through the condensation inside the car, we arrive at Battersea Park to find both pitches under a foot of water. The park keeper tells us the matches are off and that the Sports Booking office is closed from friday afternoons onwards so was unable to inform any teams (???!!!!). Our squad had travelled across London, all arriving roughly at the same time, by car, train and in Jimmy L's case, bike, only to find a deserted park and huge lake where the centre
