A GOOD WEEKEND HOME AND AWAY.

Sunday. It's been a cracking day. Once the wifi registered on my iPad, I was able to find out that non league weekend has been a successful one for my favourite sides. Hepworth United Juniors FC Under 12s undid Upperthong Hurricanes 6-2, so we now lie second in Division SIX of the Huddersfield and District Junior League. 

The Old Carthusians playing in an Arthurian League match beat rival Lancing Old Boys 2-1 at their place and now head the Premier Division. The Old Cs 2nd XI beat the Enfield Old Grammarians 6-2 in the London Old Boys Cup and the 3rd XI ended the Heathrow Seniors cup hopes with a 5-0 defeat.

Scanning the other Old Boys scores, I noticed, as I had half an eye on the gun emplacements across the sea on the Albanian Coast, that the Old Foresters, old boys from Forest School, Snaresbrook, beat Albanian FC in the Amateur Football Alliance cup. 

Albanian, from the Mill Hill area of North London, play in the amateur Football Combination Senior Division One. 

Meanwhile back on Corfu, our walk this morning, took us to a local bay and taverna where we found this Aris FC graffiti on a rock. Aris is a club near Thessaloniki in northern Greece. Must be keen supporters to have this kind of devotion so far from the club. Aris has existed since 1914 and takes its name from the God of War. It holds a remarkable record of not having lost a Cup home tie in various European competitions since 1968 and this includes ties against Chelsea (1970), Ipswich (1980) and Manchester City as recently as 2011.
