A load of us went into CMK on Saturday for Halloween, many of us in thoroughly awesome fancy dress. Photos are being assembled in the gallery section of the site, and some (perhaps all) will be put with this article.
If you want your photos added to this album, or indeed any album that may or may not exist yet, email them to michael.blatherwick@exeter.oxon.org or make sure Michael can see them on facebook and point him their way for him to steal.

Captain's Report : MK City vs Isis 2 (5-5)
This was an exciting fixture because Isis 2 was the only team to beat City in the OKA last season. Trying not to let that unnerve us we travelled to Bicester where, once again, penalties would feature heavily.
At 5-5 the final minutes were tense, neither team could bear to concede but both knew a victory was within reach. We perhaps defended too hard so were fortunate Isis could not convert a free pass and then the final penalty in the closing seconds.
So a full time score of 5-5. A great result for City, apparently a great game for spectators but terrible for the Captains nerves.
Captain's Report : MK City vs Oakgrove Teachers (7-2) and MK Roos (15-2)
This was MK City's first outing in the SMKA. The opponents, Oakgrove, are in their first season, so with most of City having about 2 years experience we might have been the favourites but word had reached us that they were 'athletic'. Our experience shone through and we made it through to a comfortable 7-2 victory.
Then, having badged ourselves as the first team club under the MK City umbrella, there was a lot of pressure in the game against Roos. Exuberant from the victory against Oakgrove and feeling like favourites, we muddled our way through the first half. Once upon a time 4-0 at half time would have been a brilliant result but the Captain was unhappy. So back to basics were called for, and led to a great 11-2 second half performance for a full time winning result of 15-2.
