<\/a>I’m in one of these cheap unit-hotels in Clermont Ferrand, having a weekend away from home.<\/p>\nThere is in fact a very good reason for this. <\/p>\n
This evening FC Pionsat St Hilaire’s 1st XI have a night match at Ceyrat, way out the other side of Clermont-Ferrand.<\/p>\n
And I can’t believe that I’ve never been to a Pionsat night match away from home.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, the 2nd XI have an away match early afternoon at Miremont, just outside the north side of the city. <\/p>\n
Seeing as it’s almost 100kms back home and then back 80kms at lunchtime tomorrow, it was hardly worth going home. And a little break would do me a world of good too.
<\/p>\n
So just by way of a change, I set out this morning to visit all of the shops at Mozac, the big shopping centre outside Riom. <\/p>\n
It’s nothing special compared to Montlucon, but it’s different and at least all of the shops are right next to each other and not scattered across the town. <\/p>\n
My luck was well and truly in too. There’s a bankrupt-stock kind of shop there and I found exactly the wire netting that I need to make my bean and pea frames, after all this time of looking.<\/p>\n
And I also found a set of three decent tyre levers. I only have small ones for things like wheelbarrows and pushbikes, nothing suitable for motorbikes and cars.<\/p>\n
The NOZ though is much smaller but they did have a decent selection of DVDs and so I treated myself to 5 for these long winter nights. At \u20ac1:95 each it’s cheaper than the cinema.<\/p>\n
As for the game, there is no denying that the Espoirs Ceyratois were technically a much better side.<\/p>\n However FC Pionsat St Hilaire rode their luck, especially with Fran\u00e7ois brilliantly saving a penalty late in the game.<\/a>At the football, FC Pionsat St Hilaire could only muster a scratch team – it’s not easy travelling all the way down to Ceyrat for a 20:00 kick-off if you’ve been working until 19:00.<\/p>\n
