Hi guys
As you know we played the A Team last week and its a bit difficult to give you a detailed report as they nicked our seats and we couldn’t see a lot. Suffice to say we managed to give them a good run for their money and managed to take it to 5-5 to set up a nervy finish. We really feel we deserved to get something but it wasn’t to be and they held on for a 7-5 win.
This week we had the first game of the second half with the Lake Lothing visiting the club. We all know the history but the night went off without a hitch. Actually they only had six players which gave us a huge advantage and we were able to gain a fairly comfortable 8-4 win to get us two more points and keep us well in the top half of the table.
It was a strange night this week with the club being very quiet which just goes to prove that women do not like driving in bad weather as none of them had brought their other halves out for the night. What a shame, could be quiet next week as well!
Nice to see Goochy arrive sporting a new growth of facial fuzz. At first we thought he had lost the instructions to his razor or was standing too far away from it, but it turns out he was going to keep growing it until he won a match. Thank God he won this week or it could have ended up looking like a cross between Merlin and ZZ Top. At least he can shave it off now. Rumours that he really grew it to counter the ever increasing cost of fuel as a way to keep warmer are totally unfounded.
On a slightly stranger note there was some rather worrying behaviour going on in the bar involving Bungle. I don’t know if he is starting to feel the pressure of being the star of the A Team blog but he was acting strangely. Basically, half way through the night he decided to place himself next to a young lad he didn’t know at the bar whilst trying to persuade him to part with money. We are not sure what the conversation was about but at one point he was clearly heard to ask him “do you come here often?” time for a sharp exit!! We thought this might be a one off moment of madness but later on he was seen by the fruit machine (could be an appropriate name) trying the same thing with three more young lads. We did not hear the conversations in detail but apparently it included the lines “whats a nice boy like you doing in a place like this?”, “where have you been all my life?” and “get your coat you’ve pulled”! come on Bill, if you’re going a bit that way have a word with Kingy, he’s been in Thailand enough he could probably tell you all you need to know!
On a sad note, Wally confirmed that he is leaving the club after 83 years in charge. This is a shame and he will be sorely missed as a brilliant manager, organiser and butt of many jokes. Just make sure you keep coming out with the boys and you can relax and enjoy it. I am sure everyone will join me in wishing him all the very best for whatever he does next. Cheers mate!
Next week we are away to the marquis but unfortunately Myself, Clint and Yid wil be missing so have a good one lads and I’ll see you soon.
All the best
Quiff
