Shoot On Sight

‘APPLEDORE FC are not an especially bad outfit. Their misfortune is that they play on a pitch that runs very close to the home of one Paul Vose.

And, as is the way with football, many balls have flown over the fence into Mr Voses garden.

Indeed, the number of balls to have made such a journey currently stands at 18.

Problem is that Mr Vose has locked the balls in his shed and will not return them.

Gary Ford, who manages the Devon-based team, is threatening to sue his neighbour.

His garden is eight yards from the back of the goal. This is not a high standard of football – some balls are bound to go over.

Says Mr Vose: They should be better at shooting.’
