C.A. Lisieux PA
Division 1a
Manager: Gmswjambo

Oh, Christmas Tree!
Gmswjambo's PA, Mrs Trellis of North Wales is full of festive cheer. She was discussing this with her good friend Aghes recently. Their conversation went something like this:

Trellis: Oh, I do love Christmas! Shall we head down to the Christmas market, Agnes? I wouldn't say no to some hot wine and a few mouthfuls of fat German sausage.
Agnes: I think I have more presssing matters to attend to, dear. 
Trellis: Like what? 
Agnes: Oh, I don't know, maybe pleasuring myself with a cheese-grater. I'd find that more appealing than Christmas shopping.
Trellis: Bah, humbug indeed! 
Agnes: It's not that I'm anti-Christmas, as such, but I can't stand the hype and commercialisation of it all; everything's over-the-top, tacky and twee, and it does my nut in.
Trellis: How about decorations?
Agnes: Not yet, I'll probably get around to it this weekend.
Trellis: I got a smashing big tree last Saturday.
Agnes: Good for you! Did you put it up yourself?
Trellis: Dear God, no! Why would you suggest such a thing? I put it up in my living room! 


As for C.A. Lisieux PA, the change report is in and it was decent enough. Doubles came for Bosson and Wolff, and the entire squad had increases. Naturally, some of the older members didn't see these positives translate into visible gains, but Collas did, now a 29/19 beast at the back. Niclasson too at the age of 32, gained a bar to nudge up to 17. Perhaps the only disappointment was Roy Hellerstedt, who gained a solitary bar to become a 19/6. Always a fringe player, he might well get shipped on, especially if a decent youth can be unearthed by the academy.

The fixture calendar for Division 1a is out and Lisieux kick off on the road against Bajen Avalanche. We've played them 8 times and only won once (record 5-2-1 in their favour), but while they might have the edge on paper in midfield manager Gmswjambo is confident of being able to take something from the game: 'We've won the cup and the squad is still gaining skill. We have every reason to be confident of giving a good account for ourselves, starting next week,' says the gaffer.
