Mazarrón FC report: Thader Murcia 2 Mazarron FC 0
This bottom of the table encounter started disastrously for Mazarron when Jose missed a simple tackle and gave away a corner. This corner was met with a towering header by the Thader centre half to give Thader the lead after just 1 minute and 45 seconds.
After 18 minutes Mazarron’s task became even more difficult when attacking winger Pepe crashed to the ground with a recurrence of a thigh strain and was replaced by the juvenile’s captain, Pescao.
Thader continued to test the Mazarron goal and on 23 minutes Ruben pulled off a fine save to prevent the home team going further ahead. Shortly afterwards a mix up between Jose and Ruben left an open goal which the Thader striker somehow missed. Jose and Diego were booked and then,
as the first half came to an end Edin, once again working as a lone striker, was pulled down when clean through.

Five minutes after the half time break, Jose’s day got even worse as he received a second yellow card and his marching orders for a deliberate handball. Strangely this seemed to spur the team on and a fine attempt by Alfonso was saved.
Mazarron’s young English full back, Matt Clarke, who was outstanding in the first half, then pounced onto a loose ball and after a one-two put the ball into the path of Edin but, with only the keeper to beat, his mistimed shot went wide.
After 62 minutes Edin fired the ball across the face of the goal from the right which only required a touch but it missed the far post by inches.
In the 76th minute Thader increased their lead when, from a hotly disputed corner kick, the ball was drilled home from the edge of the penalty area.

Mazarron’s woes continued when Abdel had to be substituted in the last few minutes following a nasty tackle and five yellow cards plus Jose’s double yellow did nothing to improve Mazarron’s appalling disciplinary record.

ACASA Christmas Appeal
ACASA launches Christmas appeal for money to help Brits in need
ACASA – The National Casework Service of Age Concern España – has launched a campaign to ask expats in Spain to give what they can this Christmas to help Britons who have hit hard times. The charity is hoping to raise at least 50,000 euros to support its work, helping the less fortunate in the British community.
The charity has two client bases – people over the age of 50, and those of any age who serve or used to serve in the British Armed Forces, and their families, as ACASA does the work of SSAFA Forces Help in Spain. It helps people overcome problems of poverty, isolation and illness, and assists them with better mixing into the Spanish way of life. It also helps them access benefits and support, and works to identify charitable grants.
Kim Stollard of ACASA said “One of the best presents anyone can give is help for people less fortunate than themselves. We welcome gifts of any size, whatever people feel they can afford, to help people who need advice and help on living in Spain, or about returning to the UK. Our seventy plus volunteers receive four or five new cases of hardship every week, and hundreds of enquiries a year, and Christmas donations will help us keep up the good work in the New Year.”
Recently the charity helped a lady with mobility issues source funds to purchase a mobility scooter. She told us the that the scooter she has named ‘Nellie’ has changed her life because she can now go out with her dog or go shopping on her own.
“We could never have done it without the generous help of the British community. A Christmas donation, whatever its size, will help someone else who is in distress. It´s easy to donate just go to our website www.acespana.org and press the ‘donate’ button or contact us at 902 00 38 38 or CCM@acespana.org.”

Mazarrón FC report: Los Garres 5 Mazarron FC 3
With seven first team regulars missing through injury and suspension, it was always going to be tough for Mazarron in this relegation battle. There were six members of the juvenile squad in the starting line up but this was no excuse for the appalling performance in the first 30 minutes which saw the home side take a 3-0 lead and leave the Mazarron players once again looking totally dispirited.
For the eighth away game in a row, Manager Agustino continued his policy of playing a lone striker. Perhaps after obtaining just one point in these eight games, the penny will finally drop. If not, the consequences for the manager and the team will be dire.
After a quiet opening twenty minutes, Los Garres scored three times in a period of just 15 minutes. The first, a shot from outside the box which should have been closed down by Diego, the second another shot from outside the box which seemed to take a deflection and the third when a through ball split the static Mazarron defence.
Then, just three minutes before half time, Diego junior slipped the ball past the last defender and ran 30 yards leaving three Los Garres players in his wake before slipping the ball under the advancing keeper to make the score 3-1. A minute later, Diego senior had the ball in the net but the referee had already blown for an infringement. The first half drama was not over, however, as Edin was blatantly pushed in the penalty area but the referee waved play on , eventually booking Edin for either diving or dissent.
Alcaraz, who was inexplicably named as substitute, replaced Dani at half time and Mazarron were back in the game after 48 minutes when Diego powered a free kick into the roof of the net. Los Garres increased their lead two minutes later when Ahmed unfortunately turned a cross into his own net but Mazarron then came back into the game with a spell of sustained pressure. Both Diego junior and Diego senior shot just wide before Edin reduced the arrears when he ran on to Juan Antonio’s through ball to make the score 4-3.
The games was settled in the 75th minute when a corner was fumbled by Ruben and the ball bundled into the net to make the final score 5-3 to Los Garres.
Mazarron deserve credit for the second half fight back but some serious action is needed to halt the club’s alarming slide.
Team: Ruben, Jose, Diego, Ahmed, Matt Clarke, Alfonso (Habibe), Juan Antonio, Jouad (Ismael), Diego jnr, Dani (Alcaraz), Edin

SPORTS ACTIVITIES IN MAZARRON
OPEN ENROLEMENT PERIOD FOR LOCAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
It is open enrolement time for participation in the Local Football League which gathers several teams in a tournament that has already become a classic. As explained by the Councillor for Sports, Andrew James, during the presentation of the league, "This year the tournament has several new features." One of the most important is that the amount has been reduced by 100 euros for enrolement.
Another novelty is that it will allow 2 federations per team, "which opens the range to greater participation, which is the goal that we pursue this year." Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers. The Champion will receive 800 euros plus trophy, the runner-up prize 400 euros, and the third place 200 euros. There will be trophies for the highest scoring player and the goalkeeping record.
Registration can be made until January 4th, the day on which the draw will be undertaken in the league that will begin with the first meetings on Monday, January 9, 2012. To register for the championship, or seek further information, please go to the offices of the Department of Sports Pavilion located in the area "La Aceña" or call 968 59 18 52.
Also, Andrew James took the opportunity to present the large number of sports activities that are scheduled on the occasion of the festivities. Three prominent championships begin on 2 December. Until December 4 a Paddle Tournament will be held at the C.P. Ginés Garcia II and until 10th a Tennis Tournament under the same name in Sports Pavilion of the Bahia.

Mazarrón FC report: Mazarron 1 Puente Tocino 1
(Abandoned due to Floodlight failure)
Once again a much changed Mazarron team struggled against opponents who seemed to be no better themselves. Included in the changes was the appearance of Ruben in goal for Peru who was injured in the warm up.
The only things of note in the first half were a booking for Rollon jnr for no apparent reason, a shot from Diego jnr which went narrowly wide, and a shot from distance by Pepe which was easily saved by the keeper.
At the start of the second half, Ruben came out to meet a through ball and only succeeded in heading it to an attacker who fortunately put his effort wide. Shortly after this a slip from the visitors keeper put pressure on them but after a scramble in the area a foul was given for a tackle on him by Pescau the smallest player on the pitch.
After 70 minutes, in the gathering gloom, the visitors took the lead from the penalty spot, following which Chico was booked.
Edin was then introduced from the bench and Mazarron began to play better. Edin’s perserverance and pace down the right wing won the ball and his cross into the middle was met by Alfonso who hit the equalizer.
Shortly after this Edin ran onto the ball following a defensive mistake but with the whole crowd standing to acknowledge a goal, the ball hit the inside of the post and rolled to safety.
After what can only be described as a viscous assault by a defender on Diego jnr, for which the referee only awarded a free kick, Pepe was sent off, presumably for telling the referee what most of the crowd thought of him.
Well into injury time the Chico was given a second yellow card for a tackle from behind reducing Mazarron to nine men. The drama was not over though, as almost immediately, the floodlights went out and, after a wait of several minutes with the ground in complete darkness, the game was abandoned.
Man of the Match: Edin.
Team: Ruben, Jose, Diego, Rollon (jr), Max, Chico, Diego (jr) (Ahmed), Pescau (Edin), Juan Antonio, Alfonso (Dani), Pepe.

Poligono Representatives, Camposol
Poligono reps are an essential part of the representation and communication system here on Camposol and in fact on any urbanisation here in Spain.
The new council administration has clearly stated that at its meetings with residents, although every one can voice an opinion or propose improvements it is only the recognised groups who will have a vote on those proposals.
To that end it is very important that right down to poligono level we need to be able to communicate with residents. For far too long we have relied on the internet/websites to carry those messages in spite of the majority of residents not having internet access.
The use of newsletters by the CRA and reports in both the Costa Calida Chronicle and the Camposol Journal both have their places but often are reporting history, by that time decisions have been made.
Would you like to devote a little of your time to represent your poligono. We are talking here about a little of your time, it is in no way a job requiring hours and hours of your time. You will need to communicate with your neighbours, keep them informed of developments and generally be the focal point for communication on your poligono.
