Can M4 record another away win and make it to the Edge of Heaven (v Edgbaston 8) ?

After a gritty (performance not weather-induced) win against local rivals Olton, a trip to Brum beckons next for the Mighty 4s. However, both sides will be "Under Pressure" to keep the season's momentum going in what is "No Doubt" going to be an exciting battle. Sils are hoping that as the match is between the second and fourth placed teams, it will be an evenly-matched affair, certainly not "Against All Odds".

As sure as night follows day, "Everything Changes" for the M4 squad, with Willetts Junior & Rush expected to return, but Teal out for a week. The Edgbaston line-up will not be revealed until Saturday, but whoever the "Sils Seniors" face, the team will be looking to "Beat It". Much though is likely to depend upon how M4 adapt offensive tactics. Saturday's post-match discussion brought up several new ideas, the best of which was for Simon to try to wrong foot the GK by choosing "A Different Corner" when he strikes the ball from PCs. "It's Not Unusual" for our esteemed Vice-Captain (& Tenille) to be receptive to new ideas as he's "Adam Ant" that he'll try any new set-piece if it can help the team to be more successful.

Don't worry if you're not selected as "U2" can be part of the atmosphere this weekend. Two choices, either meet with the players at the Sils for a 2.45 depart, and we will try to "Squeeze" you into one of the cars, or make your own way to EHS in time for the 4pm "Start".
