Slimbridge

And I think it's to Glenn's credit that not only has he got some good players together, but their characters seem really solid.

So after this sort of run that you've had, you've got Slimbridge on Saturday who are struggling.

Let's say, I think second from bottom or whatever.

They haven't really made, I don't even know much about them.

I've got a waterfowl park there.

That's all I know.

But do you know much about Slimbridge?

No, not, not at all.

Let's get up to date on the weekend's sporting action on Alfred now.

The Rockies made it two wins in a week with a 2-0 victory away at Bristol Manor Farm on Saturday following Tuesday's dramatic 5-4 home win against Slimbridge.

Shaftesbury couldn't have asked for a much better start, scoring twice in the opening 13 minutes.

Jack Hoey opened the scoring in the 10th, collecting the ball on the edge of the penalty area before curling his shot beyond Bristol Manor Farm goalkeeper Owen Crawford.

If you judge good value for money when you pay to watch a football game by the number of goals scored, you're quitting after Shaftesbury FC's Tuesday night home performance entertaining visitors from Gloucestershire.

Shaftesbury FC bounced back from Saturday's defeat against Tiverton Town with a dramatic five-four victory over Slimbridge AFC at Cockrams on Tuesday evening.

The Rockies raced into a two-goal lead, with Luke Burbidge opening the scoring after fifteen minutes and Harry Morgan doubling their advantage ten minutes later.

Morgan grabbed his second goal five minutes after the restart, before Brett Pitman added a fourth after sixty-five minutes.

But Slimbridge weren't going to give up, and the visitors fought their way back into the match.

Morgan completed his hat-trick in the seventy-fifth minute.

Jack Hoey played the ball across to Charlie Rayfield, who headed it back towards Morgan, allowing him to head home and put Shaftesbury five to two ahead.

But the drama wasn't over.

And, um, I thought it was interesting that the black-winged kite that's been gracing Norfolk, that was Firmed up as Britain's second bird.

It was aged as a, a youngster, so, um, it, it first turned up at Slimbridge then moved over to East Anglia.

Uh, so there's, there's been two black-winged kites in Britain now.

I think that's the same one that's, that's sitting, um, in East Norfolk still.

I think they went to Chester Zoo.

I know afterwards they were going to Slimbridge.

I actually joined them at Mark Rubry's place, Flamingo Falls, which is very beautiful.

And I had a look at Mark's waterfowl so he's got some ornamental waterfowl he's got his beautiful flamingos I also had a look at his incredible guinea pig setup and as someone who's never really paid much attention to guinea pigs Mark give me a little bit of a tutorial on what they're looking for I think you would have loved it Ollie as someone who actually breathes and shows them yeah and they also did kind of a bit of a panel discussion just in the marquee in the garden which was really interesting.

Yeah.

'Cause you, 'cause you were, uh, squelching around Slimbridge, uh, at the time.

Yeah.

Um, so-
