CPR All Stars - A Tribute, by James Stroud

Wow, what a season.

I've won multiple trophies throughout my youth career at AFC Wimbledon, but I can honestly say no season has been better then this one that I've spent at CPR. When I was at my first stint at the club (U5-U12) I left having not won a Premier League title, having narrowly missed out at U11's when my team finished second place.

Although there were those that may not have shared the same belief that we'd stroll in and secure the title having formed only at the start of the season, I always thought we'd have a great chance. The celebrations were the best I've ever been part of, and I'm glad that I've been able to share a trophy with 17 of my good mates. It's been an honour sharing a football pitch with the lot of you, and although you may not be the most technically gifted bunch of lads I've played with, I've come across few with the same appetite and will to win; a testimony to the spirit all of you have shown in a CPR shirt this season.

I'd also like to say thank you to all the fans that have supported us both at home and sometimes away this season (you know who you are) and especially for the incredible support at home against Hartley Whitney and away at Camberley Town. I speak on behalf of all the team in saying your support has always been highly appreciated, and who knows, maybe we wouldn't have won the league without you!

So with that being said, once again id like to reiterate both what a memorable and incredible season it has been, and I'm over the moon that we've been able to walk away from this as CHAMPIONS.

The Season Review is likely to be published on the 22nd June! (morning after presentations night) It's going to be the last CPR based post and it's also going to be the best, so it's not one to miss!

Thanks again, James Stroud

Eastleigh 6-4 CPR All Stars

This afternoon, CPR, a team who have only played 4 games together to date, came up against an academy side who train day in, day out, week in, week out. Eastleigh, a team who's first team play in the 6th tier of English football, were the opponents for the second round of the Hampshire county cup, and on paper; were expected to smash us. The team lined up as follows: GK: Kevany LB: Barby CB: Hastings CB: Ross RB: Marsh CM: Rolt CM: Adolphous LM: Finlay RM: Stroud CF: Rice ST : McMillan Subs: Parslow, Honeywood, Nott, Dunnage The only absentee for the big game was Lloyd-Bisley, who has been ruled out for around 6 weeks with a broken foot. But his absence was covered by the returning Dunnage, who had shaken off a groin injury, and Honeywood, who was also making his first appearance since his move from Nottingham . Curley Park would've been forgiven for sitting back and absorbing pressure, but they got off to an electrifying start to break the deadlock after only 2 m...

(GOLF) BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips

BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips Last year's champion, Chris Wood *Odds provided by Sky Bet Fransesco Molinari - 14/1:  The Italian recorded four straight top nine finishes in Virginia Water between 2012 - 2015, before a T55 finish last year snapped that streak. He has been in great form recently which suggests he could record another high finish this week, having finished in a T6 at The Players Championship in his last start. Chris Wood - 33/1:  The defending champion should not be ruled out for winning the title two years in a row. In addition to his win here in 2016, he finished in a T4 in 2015 and a T21 in 2014. In his last solo start just over a month ago, he finished in a T4 at the Volvo China. At 33/1 he represents great value. Shane Lowry - 40/1:  Lowry was one of the favourites to lift the title last year, but crumbled on the first two days, leading to a disappointing missed cut. However, in the past five years before that, he had recorded...

Arsenal in talks to sell midfielder to Serie A club

Image
Lucas Torreira's time at Arsenal looks as if it is coming to an end. The Uruguayan signed for the Gunners in 2018 in a £26m move from Sampdoria. He quickly became a fan-favourite with some combative performances in the middle of the park. However, he failed to build on his promising start and was only used sparingly by Mikel Arteta at the back end of the 2019/20 season. And now, acording to Sky Sports , the Spanish manager is looking to cash in on the 24-year-old. Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Torino over a season long loan move for Torreira. The Serie A club would then have the option to make the move permanent. Torino would pay Arsenal £22m over two instalments. Fiorentina are also believed to be interested in his services. The funds acquired for selling Torreira could then go to signing a replacement. Arsenal have been linked with Atletico's Thomas Partey in the last few months. Atletico will only let the Ghanaian leave if Arsenal activate his £45m release clause. It ...
