I finished my story to the thundering sound of applause, cheers and wolf whistles. Smiles and fits of laughter filled the room, today’s exercise was defiantly a success.
Of course it was all fabricated, well not all of it, I did sum up my brother and sister fairly well. He was indeed just like our mother and my sister, god bless her soul, was never out of trouble.
Wither or not the players believed my story, (which I personally think could have bettered the majority of children’s movies). It boosted spirits and that’s what I was aiming for, that and a sense of togetherness between the lads.
I arranged this team building exercise after our usual training schedule, gathered the players and staff in the canteen and we sat and told stories from out childhoods.
Living alone gives me plenty of free time and over the last few months I have been researching methods and techniques that would allow me to bring everyone closer together.
With only six weeks left in the season and a twelve point gap separating us from our nearest rivals Granitas, I am hoping this will help avoid complacency and worry that will perhaps be running though our loaned players heads.
Not knowing where your future will be in just over a month, at such a young age for most of them, will be difficult to shake from your thoughts. Hopefully this will ease the tension for everyone and allow us to push on and win this division.

Today we travel to Kaišiadorys, Home of Savinge. Kaišiadorys is based in central Lithuania, Right between the city of Vilnious and Kanuas. As we travelled past a large oval building, Eddie proceeded to tell me that it was the Lithuanian Vet nary centre and how his wife (a vet) worked there for eight years.
Savinge 0 – 3 FBK Kaunas
Another comfortable win in front of a modest crowd of 456, the home sides fans clearly feel the season is over and wanted to avoid what looked and was an inevitable ‘drubbing’.
I gave a rare start to on loan Croatian Milan Prso, The bulky forward bagged himself a hat trick which would earn him a run in the team from now, until the seasons end.
Granitas win at home to Vidzgirls (yes that is there name) keeps us twelve points clear, with only five weeks remaining.
