DPRA'S 2008-2009 Season Diary

[DPRA]

Team: Droylsden FC Academy

How I started: Was spotted by a Droylsden FC Scout, signed for the Academy, I went on loan to Hyde for some Academy experience, I stayed at Hyde for 2 seasons, My loan Contract was then Terminated with them, so I was back at Droylsden. I played 3 games, and then I suffered Ankle Ligament damage at work (ouch!) So I have been un-able to play for 5 months, However, I am back now and ready to go!

Monday 30th July: Well, We have found out that Training starts on Wed Night, Fixtures out on Wed aswell. I am up for this new season, Ankle seems to be doing fine, Bring it on!

Wed 2nd July: First Training back, and My body Wasn't used to it! We did:

15 min Warm up.
40 min Run
2 hours Drill
1 hour Practise game.

The good news was that my Ankle was fine with it all.

Fixtures announced, and our first game is at home to Boston United Academy, the first pre season game is next saturday! :help

Well, We are only in the Conference North. Or Blue Square North.

Not if he stays with Droylsden all he will be getting is battering from the mighty sandgrounders

: Dream on mate, the Mighty Droylsden are too good for you! Will you be coming to the game at our place?

Good luck with your time at Droylsden, btw do you play Solihull Moors in your season?

Ok,

Saturday 5th July: First pre season game, away at Curzon Ashton Under 18s. I have been to the ground with Droylsden when we won the Manchester Premier cup, so I know a bit about what It would do.

I was named in the starting XI which shocked me big time! Because I didnt think I was ready for starting, but who cares?

Well, at the end of the game we won 4-0, and I managed to save a penalty (which is my weakspot) I really don't know how, the guy went bottom left, and some how, I managed to get down in time and get a hand on it to tip it round the post.

Another save that I was impressed with was that Curzon where on the counter attack, and I was on the penalty spot, The player tried to chip me from about 20 yards, so i Tracked back, and as the ball was about to dip me, I managed to jump up, and tap it over the bar, In that I managed to sprain my back about, (with how I landed) so I might not be able to play in the next game.

Get in there! 4-0. Easy.

Yeah I have been told that, Would rather play first team for Droylsden though to be honest. They are my home team. :cool:

Nice win, shame about spraining your back. Good to hear you saved a penalty and kept a clean sheet!
