The Story of St. Valentin

The Roman Emperor Claudius II was fighting many wars. He wanted a
strong army, but many men did not want to be soldiers. Claudius thought
the men wanted to stay home to be with their wives and children instead
of leaving to fight wars.
Claudius thought of an awful solution to his problem. He decided to cancel
all marriages! No one in all of Rome could get married. Claudius thought
that if the men couldn’t get married, the men would ignore the women
and want to be soldiers.
Valentine, who was a priest, believed that people needed to get married.
He thought that if they were not married, they would be tempted to sin by
living together without being married. So he secretly and illegally married
couples anyway! He performed the weddings in secret places, so the
Roman soldiers would not find out.
But they did find out. Valentine was arrested and brought before the
Emperor. The Emperor thought Valentine was a well spoken and wise
young man, and encouraged him to stop being a Christian and become a
loyal Roman. Valentine would not deny his beliefs, and he refused. He was
sent  to  prison  until  he  could  be  executed. While he was in prison, he sent
out letters to his friends and asked to be prayed for by writing Remember
your Valentine.
Valentine was killed on the 14th or the 24th of February in the year 269 or
270. We celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14th in honor of St. Valentine.

TEMPORADA 09-10 ! GRANDE EQUIPO!

JD BORMUJOS 1 LA LIARA 5

Gran partido el jugado en el José Acevedo "Pepito" entre La Liara y la JD.Bormujos. El resultado final ha sido consecuencia de la falta de pegada del equipo local y la fortaleza física de las palaciegas. La primera parte acabó 2 a 1 en un toma y daca continuo que resolvieron las visitantes con dos goles casi seguidos. El gol de Rocio nos dió algo de esperanza aunque sabíamos del potencial de La Liara y de su goleadora Alba, un portento con una zurda envidiable. Contra esto la JD Bormujos puso mucho empeño y entusiasmo y en la mitad de la segunda parte intentó acortar el resultado que ya marcaba un 1-5. No se consiguió por la falta de pegada pero se realizaron muchas jugadas que pudieron tener un final mas apetecible.
