Just a quick add in the title to make it clear it’s the forum footy match.

Right. I’m in the country. I’m semi fit.

I’ll play. #3 But haven’t played since 2016 and the fitness is… a work in progress. Will donate Wednesday.

Canteen has been in touch. Thrilled we’ve chosen them for this years fundraiser and will send a stack of the canteen bandannas.

Unlikely I’ll be able to make this one but I’ll donate some money once I’m working again around mid-Feb.

You’ll be “better for the run” as they say. The heat and a niggling little hip flexor injury is seriously restricting my cardio work right now tbh.
