Multiple penalties were not enough to separate 1st & 2nd yesterday with a draw giving the chasing pack some hope to catch us up. Our pen taker is now joint 2nd in the divisional golden boot race 🤔 See you all after #lockdown2 🐍⚽️👊🏻👊🏽👊🏿⚽️🐍

What’s worse - Lockdown & knowing you can’t play, or being allowed to play but it snows so you are left waiting to hear if the game is off?? 🤔 Good to see grassroots sports sense of irony has stayed as strong as ever throughout 2020 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

It’s a bit late in the evening I admit, but forgot earlier to let people know our GoalBusters group returns tomorrow morning along with the rest of our teams 🐍⚽️⚽️🐍 A free and open group aimed at young beginners, come over in the morning and join in for a pre-Xmas runout ⚽️

To everyone on the front lines, the emergency services, to those keeping the UK moving, making sure people have food & medicine, caring for the vulnerable, helping in the fight back against the coronavirus, we just wanted to say THANK YOU from the Grassroots Community.

Could this actually be some good news towards the return of grassroots and community sports?⚽️🥅⚽️ Does mean we probably need to update risk assessments to improve focus on player interaction risks over shared equipment. Yay, paperwork 😐. bbc.co.uk/news/health-56…

Today we would usually be asking players to go out & make their mum proud on the pitch & do it for them on Mother’s Day. This year, players need to get breakfast made, clean their rooms, give mum the TV remote & then leave her in peace to enjoy the day! Happy Mother’s Day 😘😁

Hmmm.... I wonder which point on the weather forecast lines up with outdoor sports being allowed again? 🤔🤔🤔 #surprisesurprise

It’s been quiet here for a while, but we’re feeling confident at this point in not jinxing our much postponed Corinthian League 2020 Cup Final - it’s actually going to happen!! Get warmed up for #Euro2021 with a local grassroots game on Sun & watch us aim for the silverware ⚽️🏆

On Sunday morning, the Division 5 Cup Final finally takes place as Cobra FC and Custom House Community FC face off at Mayesbrook Park, kick off at 10.30am.

After a solid workout in the rain tonight - “Proper football weather” - it’ll be a light session to get everyone together in the morning for one last shakedown before the Corinthian League Div 5 Cup Final on Sun. 4 previous postponements, but 🤞🏻🤞🏾 it’s really happening this time

With nearly 30 players at our GoalBusters session this morning, the future potential felt as bright as the sunshine ☀️ Now we’re looking for volunteers to help create teams for these youngsters, so get in touch & become part of the great grassroots community ⚽️⚽️🐍🐍

We’ve decided to skip to BBC cup final coverage of filming the hotel breakfast, singing the cup final team song & following the coach across to Wembley; let’s keep it grassroots for this one 😉 Haven’t decided about the cream suits yet though 😆 #cupfinal Corinthian League

Ooohhhh, it’s definitely happening, too late to cancel now. 1 hour to kick-off, the countdown begins. Best of luck to everyone involved 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿🏆 #cupfinal Essex County FA Barking FC @CHCFootballClub

The teams are out, the final countdown is playing, it’s time for #cupfinal Good luck to all involved.

GOAL!! Cobra FC double their lead with a terrific diagonal ball into the box, finished coolly by the Cobra winger. 2-0.

CHAMPIONS!! Well done to the boys, it’s been a long time coming. 4-0 winners, great performance from start to finish.

Thanks to @CHCFootballClub for a great game, good luck moving forward with next season. Thanks to Corinthian League for getting the game played. 🏆🐍🏆🐍🏆

Thanks Leisure Leagues Ilford it’s been a fun competition. A tough final match really showed that the youth players making the step from u16 to adult football should have the confidence that they can hold their own & be a part of the team very soon & not feel out of place. 🐍🏆🐍⚽️🐍
