TopSkips FC do the Skip Hire Industry proud!
I know you’re itching to find out how the TopSkips boys got on last night so i’ll hand you over to our in-house sports journo Matt Wilkinson for a full match report…
After weathering an early storm which saw the skip hire side go 2-0 down, two magnificent individual goals brought the team level and set the tone for the remainder of the game. Any danger of defeat soon fizzled out due to a tiring opponent and crafty use of the numbers game.
Thanks to regular substitutions and excellent passing, goals were quick and plentyful. Two each from Steven Long and Matthew Wilkinson, a stunning 8 yard drive from Mike Lahiri and a tidy finish from Dave Roberts saw TopSkips round off an impressive 8-7 victory and climb the league table.
“I just swung my leg and Bob’s your Uncle”
After the win we caught up with Mike Lahiri and asked about his wonder strike; “I just tried to kick it as hard as I could, I wasn’t really aiming for anything, I just swung my leg and Bob’s your Uncle. I hadn’t really realised it had gone in until Dan came up and hugged me”.
Such friendship and modesty that’s seldom seen in the modern game. With two wins in two for the TopSkips side and a joint 3rd position in the league, it’s a great time to be one of the tens of faithful supporters. Lets hope the boys can make it three in next weeks game against the ‘Orange Pencils’!

TopSkips-sponsored ‘The Warriors’ finsh in a blaze of glory!
TopSkips skip hire-sponsored Year 7 Basketball team the ‘Warriors’ rounded off their season with a fantastic 50-28 win over the Mystics, the game saw a close opening 10 minutes after which the Withington-based side pulled away and victory never looked in doubt!
The previous week the ‘Warriors’ came within a minute of beating the impressive ‘Westleigh Wildcats’. In the end, Westleigh ran out 32-29 winners but it was a measure of the development of the ‘Warriors’ as just a couple of months ago, Westleigh won the corresponding fixture by twenty points!
The two games marked an upbeat end to a tough Division 1 Summer season which was their first in the secondary school age band. The team narrowly missed out on the play-offs but next season they’ll be graduating to Y8′s and with new signings on the way, there’ll no doubt be some silver-wear to display.
Great work and good luck for next season from all of the TopSkips Team!

TopSkips FC stun the opposition!
Last night saw TopSkips FC enter the 5 a-side arena, once again taking with them the hopes of the entire skip hire industry. Proceedings took an ominous turn early on with a lack of players threatening to end all hopes of victory even before kick-off! However, a last minute cavalry advance guaranteed the game was on.
Our resident Sports Reporter Matthew Wilkinson writes:
A stunning solo effort from Kyle Davidson opened proceedings followed by two goals each for Dave Roberts and Matt Wilkinson making it 5. With little reprisal, two more goals from Steven Long rounded up the 7-4 victory. The goals, however, were merely the trivial points of the night. On his debut Mike “the tiger” Kivell was the star of the show. His engine ran the team and his words of wisdom inspired the final result. We caught up with Mike at the end of the game. “It felt really nice to be part of something, we all shared in the moment of victory and I love all these guys. People say team mates but we’re nothing short of team brothers”.
Beautiful. Lets hope it’s the start of a TopSkips FC winning streak, Nice one boys!

Fun at the TopSkips Summer Ball!
It’s the Monday after the Saturday before and looking around the TopSkips office, everyone seems to have recovered from their Summer Ball experience. It was a fabulous affair, held at Manchester 235 with dancing, singing, food and drink not to mention the occasional trip to the roulette wheel. We did the skip hire industry proud and as promised, there’ll be some carefully chosen pictures gracing the blog this week and to start it off, well, the chap who started it all off; our MD Mark Attwood, mid speech, check out the attention on those faces!
