As I promised- you all had great weather over the two days and I trust you all also had a good time, especially at the Notty.

Our Ladies certainly did and they know how to celebrate a win, as well, without even taking stick to ball! Without exaggeration several of them had taken the holy waters early, then went to support the mens' teams (very well done), still swigging, my informant tells me, with the vocal volume reaching new crescendos.

After the games they were seen staggering up to the Notty, some with shiny eyes, some slightly bloodshot, red cheeks (which could have been the cold), wide smiles and still loud. Millhouse, through slurred speech, insisted that they were not p----d. More serious drinking but with Albert's super pies to help layer the gut, followed. Amy, you ought to drink even more!

I did notice Ray enjoying his mastery of the quiz machine, as he carried at least 3 girls through the questions for 40 minutes. There's no substitute for experience,girls! Also noted were Ali's spotted shorts.

Well supported, the 4's had a stonking 4-0 win. The 2's played very well, especially in the first 35, but eventually went down 7-3 to the league leaders with Andy Ellis being even more exposed than an eskimo with a fur loin cloth!

Sunday saw a turgid affair in the bottom of the table clash with the lads from Barford, eventually ending in a 1-1 draw. Barford should have been buried in the first half. It's not good for the pacemakers, fellas with Toul's grandpa and the writer both suffering palpitations, not helped by some pretty indifferent control, it must be said.

Big thanks must go to the vocal support given to our boys...I must go to the portaloo more often, as we seem to score (late) goals then.......!

Anyway, it makes the season even more interesting and we might have to consider the odd coach trip, if.......but as we WILL beat Belper(A) and Donnie at HOME ON THE 28th MARCH, this could be academic.

To finish off this report - by the way, did anybody notice the gap in Fruitbat's front tooth, allegedly happened (rumour has it) whilst snogging heavily - the pre-bookings for the End of Season Awards Dinner are going exceptionally well with a month to go (no bullshit) so get in touch soon or you WILL miss out. Hope to have tickets ready later this week when money/cheques must change hands.

I ask again- does any erudite, extrovert student wish to speak at the event? Most welcome but must avoid parochial in-jokes and navel gazing. C'mon, let the inner flower flourish!

Finally, as the end of a most enjoyable season draws to a close, please be available for the remaining games, please keep in touch with the Club and please let your captains know your intentions as we hope to organise lots of pre-season friendlies. See you at the Notty this Saturday but do get in touch if you want to ENJOY yourself on the 16th!.
