Four-a-side anyone?
Tuesday, July 19, 2005
Well with all our absences this week, I started the hunt early. And by Monday morning, we had 10 players! Huzzah! Brian and Paul had been rounded up by Martie. Al and David has been rounded up by Si. Lovely stuff.
Now, however, Brian is going out for tea with his bird - back to 9. But Foxy is off with suspected glandular fever - eek! So now we have 8. I don't fancy our chances of managing to get another 2 players in time, so rather than end up with a 4 v 5, it might be best to leave it as a 4-a-side.
I will try to get one more player, and if I do, Craig said that he will play (maybe more in goals that normal) to make up the 10.
UPDATE 1 - El Gordo is back his travels tonight and is willing to play so that gives us 10, inlcuding Craig. I'm also persuing another player so Craig doesn't have to play as is Martie.
UPDATE 2 - Si has managed to get a chap called Jon from another SEPA office to play which gives us 10 fully fit players! No idea how good Jon is so no idea what the teams are going to be. Watch this space.
UPDATE 3 - Well Foxy is OK - sound just like old age but he'll be off the rest of the week, resting as per Doctor's orders. Teams have just gone up - big Creeky and Si both picked identical teams but I've tweaked them slightly as one team had all the runners. Unfortunately, we have what Creeky calls "the ringer law" where we never can tell what I new person is like til they play but I'm sure Jon will be better than me and probably win MOTM. :(
