the all conquering beeston st Anthony's are champions again. thankfully an uneventful time off the pitch too. i say this because, some years ago, a group of llamas  escaped from the nearby urban farm, and invaded  the pitch, causing the game to be abandoned. all quiet on the llama  front yesterday however.
