Watching Notts County demolish Barnet at The Hive this afternoon (I don’t often use that word when referring to Notts) I wondered how the opposing press reporter would spin such a battering?
Then I thought about my time as the pitch side hack for Whitegrove Arrows, the local team that my son Adam played for in his youth.

Checking online I was thrilled to find the match report for Saturday 14th January 2006 when the Arrows were at home to Twyford Comet Crusaders in the East Berks Intermediate League, Under 13, Division 2.
Although the Arrows lost 8-0 the spin was worth, at least, a draw!
In fact, given my last line it was a moral win for the Arrows!
