Air Ambulance

The charity match organised by Shepshed Dynamo on Sunday was a fantastic event and all in a good cause.
In the first few weeks after the game was mooted very little seemed to happen and to be honest I thought it wouldn't get off the ground.
The people behind the scenes at Dynamo however did a stunning job of organising it all and then got the weather to match. It's a shame the crowd was not quite as big as was hoped but those that stayed away missed out on seeing the likes of Muzzy Izzet (probably the youngest but first to be subbed off) back in action and the subtle genius that is Gerry Taggert.
Shame as well the rugby guys didn't turn up although apparently there were a few from the national media waiting for Martin Johnson to appear to ask him about the England managers job.
Once again cheers to those at Shepshed for the hours spent on the project. Secretary Dave Wheatley must have one impressive contacts book.

This week's Echo news section is pretty miserable really given how many of our local sides lost. Not least how many threw away leads. Still, wouldn't have minded witnessing Twelve 7 L'boro Royal Oak 10 in the Charnwood Sunday League. That's a goal every five minutes 20 seconds (ish).
