Football at Charnizay. Yup - that's someone

Every village has its own foot (soccer) team. At one time Preuilly sur Claise had 3 teams in different leagues, now it is reduced to one team in combination with Yzeures sur Creuse. Every village with a team has its own ground, and a lot of these are floodlit - in our immediate area both Bossay and Preuilly have floodlit pitches. They should be a focus for village pride, but alas they are sparsely frequented, and most of the action seems to take place around the bar.TCB
If you're in the area and looking for a cheap drink on a Saturday afternoon, look for a football pitch. You will be helping the funds of a local organisation, and you might even see some football.Simon

Now for quality football you need to get yourself up the road to Le Grand Pressigny, the best footie team in the region.

At first, I thought it was the Abbey of Preuilly in the background, then I noticed the Burgundian style steeple wasn't there! Too bad!
Check out today and yesterday's

Our local team is combined with the village next door. Mareuil-Pouillé. They come by every year to sell us a calendar. That's three calendars a year: la Poste, les Sapeurs-Pompiers, and the footy guys.
