Quainton played against the Prison

WE had a really good game playing the prison, comms in advance were good and we submitted our planned squad and managers to the prison in advance, we arrived promptly at the gate at the agreed time and we were asked for our ID and were all checked in and securely cleared for our entry into the prison, we were shown to our dressing room and the managers/supporters were offered drinks which  was a nice touch, once we were all changed the changing rooms were locked and we were taken out to the pitch where we warmed up, we had a quick chat with the referee who was very good and we  explained we had brought our second 11 to get them some match time and they had the opportunity to get into our first team, the whole game was played in a very good manner and there was no issues  whatsoever, they had some very good players and have potential to be a really good team, we managed  to get to half time 2-1 up however through a combination of injuries and match fitness we proved to be  less of a challenge in the second half and we were soundly beaten by full time, everyone shook hands  and congratulated the winners after the game and the process of getting out of the prison was as easy   as the entry, we would have no hesitation in arranging a friendly against them again in the future (with a few more players available), overall this was a very positive experience and we would have no hesitation in recommending the experience to others.

The meetuing ended at 9pm – next meeting Wednesday 5th February 2025
