This is a great achievement and demonstrates that Blowsoc really can compete on a national level! A huge well done to everyone involved! See below for a recording of our performance with the adjudicator's commentary and below that for the written comments.
31/03/10, Blowosc-Mussoc Football Despite goals from Joe Matthews and Tom Breeson, and a good effort from the whole team, Mussoc proved too much for the Blowsoc squad, with Rene Bloice-Sanders scoring a hatrick to leave the final score at 2-3. This leaves the series standing at 1-1 and all to play for in the final game next term! If you would like to help us reclaim the famous trophy, please get in touch.
