Afternoon All

It’s good to be home again after the success of Tuesday evening and getting our first 3 points on the board. Lift off!!!

That was so much more important than people probably realised but that now gives us the lift and confidence to kick on. Backing up Tuesday’s win with another win today will really kick us on but we’re very aware Farnborough will be a tough outfit.

And, even if we ourselves stay put, the media bring the world to us – it has been humbling and tragic to see how things have unfolded in Afghanistan recently. God’s nature.
