International Womens Day – Tuesday, 8th March

International Women’s Day 2022: this year’s theme is #BreakTheBias.

The organisation is calling on people to “imagine a gender equal world” which is free of biases, stereotypes and discrimination against women. The UN’s theme is “gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”.

Unable to meet up with your female friends? Here are 6 meaningful ways in which you can celebrate virtually on March 8th:

Educate Yourself About Women’s Rights.
Donate To Non-profits That Benefit Women.
Chill With Your Girls Over Zoom Call.
Support Local Women-Owned Brands.
Book Club Featuring Women Authors.
Watch Women-Led Movies.

Purple, green and white are the colours of International Women’s Day.

Purple signifies justice and dignity.
Green symbolizes hope.
White represents purity, albeit a controversial concept.

The colours originated from the colours worn by the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK in 1908.

International Women’s Day was first established at the 1910 International Socialist Women’s Conference in Copenhagen. German women’s rights activist and Marxist theorist Clara Zetkin was the one who tabled the idea 🙂

**Let’s not forget International Men’s Day…**

This event is on Saturday, 19th November 2022 and focuses on men’s health, improving gender relations, highlighting male role models, and promoting positive expressions of masculinity. It’s also an opportunity to recognize men who don’t fall into traditional manifestations of masculinity, such as gay and bisexual men, transgender, or masculine non-binary people.

Drimpton FC – Need One Point For Championship Title

The Perry Street & District League Division Two title is almost over and after drawing with Charmouth 1-1 on Saturday, 26th February, Drimpton FC now need just one point from their final two games to take the title.

Match Report:

In what was a very close cut contest this afternoon, Drimpton & Charmouth came away with 1 point each and the result leaves us needing just 1 point from our final 2 games to solidify us as Division 2 champions in the Perry Street League.

The game started with both teams enjoying spells of possession before Frank Symonds unleashed a shot from range which was comfortably saved before Charmouth tried a shot from distance which flew harmlessly over.

The first major chance fell to Drimpton after Adam Cody-Boutcher won the ball in the air and perfectly flicked it on for Adam Chant who shot just over when bearing down on goal.

The first half concluded with both teams scrapping for possession and the rest of the chances were shots from distance which left both ‘keepers relatively untroubled.

The second half began with a half chance for Drimpton after Tom Franklin cut out a pass which allowed Pawel Ciereszko to challenge for the ball in the air with the Charmouth ‘keeper but he just missed out on capitalising.

Charmouth then had a very good chance of their own after a good cross which saw a first time volley go over the bar.

Drimpton then got a bit of control of the game and the opening goal came from Frank Symonds who chased down a through ball which Charmouth’s ‘keeper came out for but then got caught in no man’s land which ultimately gave Symonds the time to pick out a perfectly lobbed finish.

Drimpton carried on with the same second half intensity from last week’s game against Charmouth but this was a game of few chances and this was largely in part to both teams defences playing very well throughout, however, there was nothing the Drimpton defenders could do as Charmouth equalised thanks to a stunning long range strike.

The equaliser took the sting out of the game and both teams finished an even match with a point apiece.

Drimpton now head into a 2 week break knowing that our destiny is in our own hands and only needing 1 point from the remaining 2 games to end the season as champions.

Manager, Andy Loudon, had the following to say: “On another day if we took our chances we’d have come away with all 3 points but I’m happy with 1 point and we know we only need 1 more to confirm ourselves as champions.”

Scorer: Frank Symonds

At their earlier game last month, they took 3 points after beating Charmouth 3-5

Injured Cat At Kings’ Court

*Cat has been reunited with his owner 🙂

Have you lost your cat? This feline is injured and, at the time of publishing is located at King’s Court. A member of the public has attempted to pick him/her up without success as it won’t let them approach.

Hopefully, his/her owner will recognise the photo and they’ll be reunited and the cat cared for.
