Rio Ferdinand and the FA Cup visit Chaddy

Aftre receiving a grant from Eon, FA cup sponsors. the FA Cup itself and Rio Ferdinand arrived at the ground to examine the new facilties. Rio had a chat with players and the volunteer committee, watched the players go through their paces and showed a willingness to spend time with everyone present - a great advert for footy. Also deserved recognition for the immense amount of work the committee at Chadderton, and all non-league clubs, put into their clubs.

Chadderton v Curzon Ashton 2010-11

What a fantastic game - one of those both sets of supporters were remarking on as pleasure to watch. Cup Quarter finals. All square at fulltime, then ditto at the end of extra time and so to penalties.

Evening match that didn't finish until well past 10 - so usual caveats about shooting in the dark of floodlights. Still I hope there's some you can enjoy.

Rochdale Town v Oldham Borough 2010-11

At last - after so long without a match I didn't care how cold I felt by the end. Just great to be out shooting footy.

Robins in the back garden

Since there's been no footy for a while it's time to try my hand at some other venture. These shots are from the back garden of the house and are my first attempt at bird photography - quite pleased with them! Only thing is this robin is an aggressive little sod and keeps chasing all the other birds away - so he's the star of the show! Hope you enjoy.

Rochdale Town v Chadderton

What a good night this was since the two teams I regulary shoot went head to head in the League. An evening match so usual caveats about the light - and the first time this season I could see my breath - sure sign of the cold coming in.
