The only competition of its kind in the country dedicated to, entered by and run by goal keepers.<br /><br><br /><br>We hope to have 60 keepers on the day. So far 48 keepers have entered representing teams such as Ramsgate, Dover, Dartford, Thamesmead, Sutton, Maidstone, Tonbridge Angels and many more. <br /><br><br /><br>Im pleased to announce that your very own Aaron Omand has also entered. So why not come along, wear your clubs colours, and support your keeper?<br /><br><br /><br>The object of the competition is simple.<br /><br><br /><br>Keepers compete as pairs and are pitted against other pairs of keepers in a Round Robin format which will test their skills, reflexes and fitness to the max, with the winning pair being crowned as the 2009 Keeper Wars Champions.<br /><br><br /><br>The rules:<br /><br><br /><br>Keepers stand in goals 18 yards apart and each game lasts 3 minutes. In that time they take as many shots, throws, volleys, half-volleys etc as they can on an alternate basis. Its like boxing for keepers!<br /><br><br /><br>If a ball goes out of play then the next pair takes their shot, but if they save the shot and the ball goes back into the attacking pairs half they can follow up their initial shot, and the pair with the most goals wins.<br /><br><br /><br>For the non-football fan amongst you their will be other attractions on the day such as face painting, a magician, raffles, a fire engine, special guests and many other attractions.<br /><br><br /><br>Another part of Keeper Wars is that every year we support a different charity, and this year we have decided to support The British Heart Foundation.<br /><br><br /><br>So, if you're in need of a bit of footie action, why not pop along? Kick-Off is at 11am - Parking and admission is free.<br /><br><br /><br>Hope to see you there and thanks for your time.<br /><br><br /><br>Steve Custard Hookins (DFC Fan and Keeper Wars fundraiser)<br /><br> <p>Forum: <a href="http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3460999 Tue, 05 May 2009 18:23:04 GMT CustardDFC http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2762887 Ever wondered how many stadiums you've been to?

From Signing schoolboy forms at Southampton and Bournemouth then being unable to obtain a YTS after numerous trials. This lead me to Morecambe where i joined the acadamy and went onto the first team. The book includes the many clubs ive played for to the present 07/08 Season.<br /><br> The book is called Zico: An Autobiography of a Non-League Footballer which is available at: <a href="http://www.authorhouse.co.uk/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~49598.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.authorhouse.co.uk/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~49598.aspx</a><br /><br> As Non-League supporters I hope you will enjoy the many different stories and my journey in the Non-league. I feel that my Autobiography is unique as it is told from the not so glamorous side of the beautiful game. <br /><br>Thanks Zico<br /><br> <p>Forum: <a href="http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2706777 Tue, 13 May 2008 20:23:59 GMT zico http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2690182 We would like to thank everyone in the Non League World for a great season.<br /><br><br /><br>The Non League Vidiprinter will be back next season, bigger and better..<br /><br><br /><br>In the mean time we are working hard promoting Non League Football with the only news service of its kind. <br /><br><br /><br>The latest news in BBC style 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<br /><br><br /><br><a href="http://www.nonleaguefootballlive.com" target="_blank">http://www.nonleaguefootballlive.com</a> <p>Forum: <a href="http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2690182 Tue, 06 May 2008 18:18:00 GMT NLProject http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2647538 on the official site dont the person doing the reports know which way the scores go i checked on the site for the Bath result and saw the score as 1-3 now i have seen a few games in my time but never seen the home side win 1-3 later when i read the report on the bath site i has a bit pissed off to see we lost 3-1. <p>Forum: <a href="http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2647538 Thur, 17 Apr 2008 16:29:32 GMT kevin http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2617979 Eastbourne fan here, coming to the game by train tomorrow, can anyone give me directions from Chafford Hundred station please.

There was some trouble at half-time but it was a typical local derby, there was nothing really nasty in the game.<br /><br><br /><br>"He just lost it and I think the shovel must have been outside the clubhouse. It was shocking and I just tried to get my players away so the referee could deal with it.<br /><br><br /><br>"We have reported the incident to the FA and I don't want to say too much until the football authorities have dealt with it."<br /><br><br /><br>Nyang joined Three Bridges from Thurrock at the start of this season and earned his first call-up to the Sussex squad last month.<br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br><br /><br><br /><br> You don't get this in proper football<br /><br>ILC Wed 26-Mar-2008 07:12:30<br /><br>authenticated user: ILC (id=10117)<br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br>Strooth. He was, as stated, at Thurrock last year and is, without doubt, the thickest footballer I have ever come across. Seriously on this one. We picked it up as we watched him play, (and behave on a couple of occasions). Spoke once with the very pleasant and sensible goal keeper from last year who confirmed our observations, and actually said he was surprised Nyang could breathe and do anything else at the same time. He confirmed he could not put a sentence together.<br /><br><br /><br>He scored a couple of stunning goals, and could just run towards goal and shoot, but ask him to pass, be aware of anyone else or have a clue what was going on...no chance.<br /><br><br /><br>A little bit of ability but not able to cope in a team.<br /><br>Big drop from Thurrock to Three Bridges though.<br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br><br /><br> <br /><br><br /><br><br /><br> I have to doubt the accuracy of this!<br /><br>hoagy Wed 26-Mar-2008 01:28:59<br /><br>authenticated user: HOAGY (id=1)<br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br> <br /><br>The author dilly dallies around the issue of whether it's actually a shovel or a spade.<br /><br><br /><br>Three Bridges is, of course, part of Crawley.

According to the Bath City forum "Thurrock were a nasty spiteful side". <br /><br>The truth however is that our kids refused to be bullied by an older aggressive and cynical side who also took every opportunity to intimidate the referee.<br /><br>Unfortunately some of the youngsters are still naive. As an example while waiting for a freekick to be taken one of their players grabbed Swaine's balls and ran past him, Swaine instinctively swung a boot and was red-carded. The instigator was unseen and unpunished. "Thurrock nasty and spiteful"? I think not, but in my opinion Bath City are easily the most unpleasant and repulsive team to have visited Ship Lane for many a year. <p>Forum: <a href="http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2470919 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:43:36 GMT BJ http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2444823 Can someone please inform me if you have team and if would play us in March.<br /><br><br /><br>please contact me on <a href="mailto:matt_barrett@tiscali.co.uk">matt_barrett@tiscali.co.uk</a> <br /><br><br /><br>many thanks <br /><br><br /><br>Matt <p>Forum: <a href="http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=57772">Thurrock FC Message board</a> http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2444823 Thur, 24 Jan 2008 18:16:19 GMT mattdtfc http://purfleet.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2444355 Crumbs Chief<br /><br><br /><br>Having left DM to fight Greenback on his own for the week.
