After an hour of some good drills and training games with Reading matches were started between the A and B teams from each club. After virtually no rain for a month the pitches were rock hard and the coaches thought long and hard before deciding to start the games and see how the games developed.
After 5 mintues there were several hard knocks and it was decided to abandon the games - just as an air ambulance landed on the pitch next door which concentrated the mind wonderfully!
