Fathers Smash the Yallops 200 runs to 46

12 July 2007 – Snorkmedia inc.

The atmosphere was one of contained confidence as a fit and relaxed FF outfit watched the procession of bedraggled Yallops push through the assembling crowd to meet their opponents. The effect was an immediate slumping of shoulders and a small squirt into the box for the Yallops as they prepared for the oncoming bowling attack. Apart from the FLOGGING Our Kylie took with his first few balls, the bowling was back to the preeminent form of days gone by. Buoyed by some spectacular back court CATCHING, most notably by the Snorkmeister, the teams enthusiasm was lifted to the heady heights of some of our finest victories. Notable bowling included Hugo with an inspired 5 for -14, the pace camera short a digit in an effort to record some of the quick balls. Nads and Gilly took fourfas with Nads recording a HAT TRICK and an associated fine for the look of surprise on his face. Harden up Nads. Congas’ fielding upfront was a glory to watch and Gillys keeping typically classy.

Yallop finished there innings with a PALTRY 46...ha.

The bench was abuzz as the FF’s padded up for the second innings. New recruit Neil (Chippy) and Gilly cracked a notable foundation innings of 40 setting the stage for a steady match winning partnership of 50 from Hugo and Snorky. Not a wicket fell during the second pair who came off the pitch leaving disconsolate puddle of yellow dejectedness. The Yallops were shattered. 44 runs ahead and an absolute thrashing in sight brought big Kev and Kyles to the wicket. Kyles played a myriad of shots all over the ground for a solid 24 backed up by KEVS BLAZING -2. May well he hang his head – fine for contributing -0.01 of the total score. Better luck next week KEV, he apparently was feeling more than a little guilty for NOT INVITING THE FATHERS TO HIS HOUSEWARMING.

Finally the tall timber hit the pitch and brimming with confidence SMASHED the Yallops for a blazing and unprecedented 88 RUNS. Fine to both for the probable post match team suicide of the Yallops. It was, however, beautiful to watch.

No one felt the wintry temperatures as they guzzled the assortment of top shelf brands fresh from Hugos esky. The Fathers had won…and won well (bugger the graciously!)
