"Oh what a night, early June
back in two thousand and two..."
That is what Frankie Valli
would have been singing if he played right midfield for the ISA FC and managed
to get an all evening pass out from his missus for the Chester and District
Sunday League annual awards presentation evening on Monday 10th June 2002. As
regular readers of this website will know, the lads had secured the Section D
title in style, amassing a superb 119 goals in 18 League games. The following
photo's may stir some memories of a pretty good night...

Looking like
something out of Snatch, Lord Hocking, in his Harry Hill shirt, flanked
by hired 'muscle' Steven Sandbach and Jimmy Green, fail to hide their
disgust at the failure of the League to award Secretary of the Year to
Howell. |

Player
Manager Paul Brazier, the man who tells his mates that they can't play
this week (possibly the worst thing ANYONE can do, would YOU want to do
it???), deservedly posing with the Section D shield and his own Section
D winners medal.

The
committee. A lot of hard work goes into running this Club, and these
people do a lot of it. Paul Brighton, Paul Brazier and Mark Howell pose
with the shield and their playing trophies. Not pictured is similarly
hard working Treasurer Dave Cartwright.

The
night wore on, first to Foregate Bar, where the £1 for anything behind
the bar took it's toll on quite a few of the squad, and Howell/Brazier
took allcomers to the cleaners on the table footie, and then onto
Brannies, where Melson and Caswell can be seen being told to put a bang
in their night. Mella couldn't bang the door shut at the moment with his
poorly hip problems, and Caz wouldn't bang anything that wasn't made of
silk with a stick running through it!

These ladies
are tongueing each other for the Blue and White cause. Respect due to a
totally bollocksed Scott Ditchfield who set this up! |
