LOSE A BATTLE ..... BUT WIN A WAR
DESPITE SUFFERING A HEAVY DEFEAT YESTERDAY IN THE FIRST LEG OF THE BAGS SIS CHAMPIONSHIP AT HALL GREEN WE MUST REMAIN VIGILANT AND RETAIN FOCUS AND BELIEF THAT WITH TWO FURTHER LEGS TO GO WE CAN RETRIEVE THE SITUATION. HALL GREEN MADE FULL USE OF HOME ADVANTAGE AND SOME SMART DRAWS TO LEAD HANDSOMELY AFTER THE FIRST DAY BY 53 POINTS ON 134, PERRY BARR HAVE 64 AND WE HAVE 81. MANY ALREADY BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNASSAILABLE LEAD ........................ BUT IS IT???
I HAVE A SAYING THAT I REMIND MY OWNERS OF ON OCCASSION, IT GOES '... DEFEAT IS ONLY A NEGATIVE EVENT IF YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING POSITITVE FROM IT!' YESTERDAY WENT BADLY FOR US BUT IT'S HOW WE REACT TO THIS THAT IS IMPORTANT. I'M CONFIDENT THAT IF WE ROLL OUR SLEEVES UP AND PUT THE WORK IN AND WE RETAIN A GOOD TEAM SPIRIT THROUGHOUT THAT WE WILL GO INTO THE LAST LEG WITH EVERY CHANCE.
