With a week into the football season, it’s been a rather mixed start for me. Last Saturday saw Bath City concede 4 goals in 17 minutes, before coming back with a further 3 themselves, yet still lose. Recent games have proven more successful, yet far less entertaining – a 1-0 win on Tuesday, followed by a 2-1 victory against Welling yesterday. My other team, Leeds, have won their opening 3 games, but sadly have not boasted some of the high-end score lines achieved some of their rivals.
Still, it was nice to see City and Leeds both with victories in the same afternoon yesterday (a rare feat last season). Unfortunately, Somerset couldn’t make it a hat trick of wins for my teams – losing the Twenty20 final. Oh well.
After the game Saturday, I stayed behind at Twerton Park to help the ground staff and fellow fans prepare for the Bath City FC Supporters Club 5-A-Side Tournament, which takes place today. This involved removing the goal netting from the grass, before marking new lines on the pitch, which will be used to split the field into 4 small football pitches – complete with mini goals.
I will not be attending the tournament this afternoon as I have other plans; all of which will be revealed in an upcoming blog – the excitement and anticipation, I am sure, is unbearable.

It's not every day that Leeds will lose a game of football, yet I'll be able to take many positives from it.
While it was pretty gutting to concede a fourth goal, especially so close to full time, it should never be forgotten...
Leeds were playing the greatest team in the country right now.

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
