Head Space Daily Words...

Today has been the usual manic Saturday, of two energetic, mood swinging boys, arguing and fighting, coupled with football. The day's footy was set up by watching the mighty Villa on BT Sport, see off Norwich at Carrow Road. We then went to Champion Hill to watch our local non league side, Dulwich Hamlet, beat Canvey Island 1-0 in a three o'clock kick off, in the Isthmian Premier League (see Daily Image.) It was a terrific experience. We literally stood on the touchline at one of the corner flags, right next to the action. There is a stand which seats maybe three hundred people but you can walk around and stand wherever you want. A group of a hundred or so Dulwich Hamlet supporters stood behind the goal which was being attacked by 'The Hamlet' in the first half, before walking to the other end of the ground during half time, to swap places with the handful of Canvey Island supporters and congregate behind the goal which Dulwich were aiming to score into in the second half. The Hamlet went one up early in the second period but the hero of the hour was goalkeeper Phil Wilson, who made a series of incredible saves. He is a big bloke, who doesn't possess the most athletic of builds but he produced an astounding double save, a jaw dropping triple save, and with the final touch of the game, he acrobatically turned the ball over from a free kick. Wow. We all went home happy. Looking forward to the next game...
