Boundary rider wrote:Wow the action one misses in 24 hours. Where to start? How about Moe's inaugural forum form from a keswick perspective. Yes our fine game is still a gentlemans sport. Each week Keswick bring a carton and arvo tea (at the players expense) that we are more than happy to share just ask shiedow who happily returned the favour last game or warradale who enjoyed a few beverages with us on sunday. As for your info on R. Brokensha I can assure you no one from the committee has approached him since the season started and at no point will we as a club offer money to a player. No one at the club is paid per run or to sign on, there are no incentives other than the chance to play with a good bunch of blokes. 3 players this year have had their subs paid by an outside sponsor and as a club we dont see this as a problem, we simply dont have any money to spend on players (particularly after we fork out so much cash to keep the services of bay boy) so to suggest this as you all do is ridiculous. As for the ICC/Shiedow T20 result, sounds awfully familiar to a game we played against ICC last year where Sambo was caught on 99 only to find out 10 mins later someone had missed a run and he had made 100. Nothing suss i'm sure!
Morning all.Well after checking my facts boys, I am damn sure both Boundary rider & Gowser are mislead. At no stage did i say a committee member had spoken to Ross B. but only that he had been contacted ( 3 times in 1 week 15-22 Nov )
I will always believe one of my own first.
As for your afternoon teas, well, my good mail says that you did have wonderful platters of sangers out, but the problem was you forgot to let the opposition captain know that he and his team were invited.
The problem with clubs having beers together after a days play is that they do often sit well apart on ovals so as to keep "secrets" away from each other. I challenge each captain ( especially in Sect. 1 ) to bring back this tradition.
Lastly Gowser, Yes Roachie did offer Bubbles buckets load apparently (6 years ago ) but was more than happy to say that getting S.Thomas, B.Johns & M.Thomas for the price of a chicken parmi at the Broady was far more satisfying. He also reminded me that we won the flag that year.
