the conditions made for much more interesting shots than you normally get from soccer, great series.

Just out of curiosity do they play cricket in that sort of weather? :-) Love the shot. I picked up Kata raingear so I can play in the sprinkles this year. I think #7 could get away with just a thorough hosing down!

I sent you an email.

gmen. was you looking for a Tom Finney style pic? Whenever it's bad weather I look for sliding tackles but seems I will never reproduce that one. Maybe park football is the answer to getting it:)

Good pics as per BTW :)

Blimey, I thought the pitch at Grays was bad this weekend and nearly resulted in the game being called off!!!

I guess summer officially over now!

Great pics as always!

These are great Gavin. I wish we had that stuff here. Every time it rains they postpone. I guess since this is America they need to avoid lawsuits. :rolleyes:

Top job in shocking conditions. Well done

With your watermark it looks like the 2 players in picture number 6 are chasing different balls.
