Au revoir Le Gordo
Thursday, October 04, 2007
I'm not sure of anyone noticed but we had a last minute change of personnel last night. One of the new guys, Wilson, dropped out at 5:20pm. I made a couple of calls but to no avail and in a gamble I asked Gordo to play. As it turns out he'd managed to sort his car out last night ad said he would play so we weren't stuck - what a guy! Thanks Gordo!
That was also his last game this season as he's off on sabbatical for three months on a round the world trip the lucky sod. Have a great trip big man and we'll hopefully see you via video link for the Fitbaw Xmas Night Oot. Say "Hi!" to Jon if you see him in Oz. See you in February.
So despite all the new faces the teams were pretty balanced with the ringers (and Gordo) taking and holding an early lead. The regulars decided to wake up and start playing too and it was tight all the way through. A great game I thought.
Next week the subs go up from £5.00 to £5.50. This is because the cost of the park has gone up to £51. £6 is too much and only having £5.10 seems a bit daft. Besides, we need to have some money in the kitty for web site fees, the night out (food and deposit) and maybe a new ball (although we do have one coming from Powerleague for playing hunners of games). I hope this OK - most of the guys I've spoken too seem OK with this. If not, let me know.
MOTM and stats are up.
