Tim Jones, 1st team captain and long standing club member, was at his most devastatingly effective as the side recorded a vitally important win at home to Brockworth Albion on March 15th.

Super fit Tim, who has been flying up and down the 1st team's right flank almost non stop since he left school, has been virtually ever-present in the club's first Northern Senior League Division One campaign for 10 years and has made something of an art form out of characteristically charging along his chosen wing before smacking the ball over the changing rooms and towards the A435. Gangs of Bishop's Cleeve youths have been formed specifically to follow Tim's exploits, most particularly so that they can take advantage of the opportunity presented to fund dubious life styles from the match balls they have been able to purloin following the arrival, in the car park, of Tim's latest attempt on goal.

All this looked set to change on Saturday, March 15th, however, when Tim lead his troops fearlessly into the pre-match warm up before the game against Brockworth Albion. Armed with just a bib and a couple of items of clothing with Liverpool FC insignia, Tim tore into the pre-match routines with a verve and a vigour which suggested that, today, he was going to be unstoppable. Today, the ball would still end up flying over the changing rooms but only after it had ripped the goal net from its fastenings, wrapping it around the vent that would carry waste fumes away from the boiler if only it ever worked, on its way to a final resting place somewhere just outside Evesham. As Tim urged the others on with the sheer intensity of his endeavour, grown men stood to one side and wondered how on earth Brockworth could hope to stop him, how they were going to cope afterwards without Post Traumatic Stress Counselling and whether or not Tim had ever looked more likely to rip the opposition apart.

Then he buggered himself and that was the end of that.

As Tim, by now a sad, somewhat pitiful figure, shuffled off to accept his fate, of being a substitute only marginally more likely to be used than Andy Herbert and second in line on the bench behind Neil Howchin, who wasn't even there, he could only dream of what might have been. And contemplate the final indignity - handing the Captain's armband to Frank Ashworth!!

Even so, it was agreed in the Farmers Arms afterwards that, in the 90 minutes that followed, Tim had probably been the most effective that he had been all season!!
