Semi Final v Moldova Saturday 21 June 18:00

well done everyone who played in the Quarter final against Spain, 4-0 is one of our best results for a long time!

The meeting point for the Semi Final v Moldova on Saturday is Piramide at 16:00. Everyone MUST be at the Pitch for 5 p.m. so we can have a team talk and a good warm up. The match itself starts at 18:00!

NB I know we are essentially a "pub side" but this is one of our biggest games for a few years so please avoid going out the night before.... we will have the whole Summer to go out and enjoy ourselves so take it easy on Friday!"

Thanks a lot and see you soon

PS the other semi final is between Capo Verde (who beat Italy 2-1) and Senegal (who beat Peru on penalties.)
