Fathers take down 'Kerwin's mob'

The Coolie

In only their second dig at the all new Cooleman Court Indoor Cricket Centre the Fathers came, saw and conquered.

After losing the toss and being sent into bat the opening partnership of Gilly (20) and Gladdy (25) got the Fathers off to a good start, an unentertaining but workmanlike 45 from the boys.

The second pairing of Norris (26) and Rowan (8) entertained from the off and after losing a few wickets came back with aplomb to post a respectable 34.

Choco (6) and Nads (21) came in next and battled old age and incontinence to post a hard won 27.

As usual it was left to Itchy and a bloke he found in the carpark to bring the good ship FFCC home. After 4 overs of blazing bats the smoke cleared and the dazzling partnership had brought a total of 51 additional runs to the Fathers total.

The Fathers had posted 157 and looked invincible.

Now it was time for the Kerwins to have a bat and Captain Norris threw the ball to Itchy with a cry of "you're already warm have a go ya mug".

The big hitting Kerwin's duo were confused by the line, length and sheer pace of Itchy's sustained bowling attack. Once they picked themselves off of the astroturf at the end of he first over they had lost three wickets and were at -3 runs.

The rest of the innings consisted of the usual fathers rubbish. Itchy had set the scene and the Kerwins didn't stand a chance after that.

Oh yeah, one more thing, Itchy had a blinder of a second over as well.

For the record the Fathers (thanks largely to Itchy) won by 46 runs.

Founding Fathers Conquest Weston Creek Car Park

Roiters - Oct 2007

After years of dominating the Lyneham Indoor Cricket Centre Competition Car Park, a change of scenery for the Founding Fathers is on the cards. The Founding Fathers are in demand and are being courted heavily by rival indoor cricket centre: Weston Creek. Ever since dominating the LCG C-Grade competition and a late season B-Grade surge (and after tonight's thrashing of A-Grade Pumping Booty - match report pending from the comeback kid Our Kylie) the Founding Fathers are being touted as the side that will put Weston Creek back on the Indoor Cricket map of maps.

To their astonishment, The Founding Fathers each recently received a desperate, insulting, money grabbing $4 tax invoice from the new management at the LCG for a new, unannounced, unpredicted and unprecedented membership fee. This looks to have swung the pendulum to Weston Creek who offers lower match and membership fees, licensed refreshment bar overlooking the grounds, bowling machine and a state of the art car park that stretches to the horizon.

Tuesday night is the preferred night for The Fathers and with the "bye" at the LCG next week the Fathers will be dipping their toes in Weston Creek Cricket waters looking to extend their run of recent form and take the WCCG by storm. Match time is to be confirmed but the honourary inaugural WCCG eight are:

1. Captain Kyles
2. Nads
3. Norro
4. Gilly
5. Choco
6. Hugo - beer boy
7. Itchy
8. Gladdy

Reserves
Our Freaky - has announced a possible return due to the change of grounds
Big Kev! - south side man will be EXCITED!
Mick - stuffed tuft
Gristle - on the mend
Carl - awol
Inzy - not able to run as fast as he used to
Snorkey - sipping pina coladas

Notwithstanding the match Tuesday night the LCG Bye on Wednesday means drinks at the Irish Club ($4 pints) from 7:30pm on Wed for a MANDATORY Extraordinary FFCC General Meeting to discuss the merits of the move make important decisions on other important matters (several - encampment, fines, demerit points, corona in the carpark (Gilly!), ladies night out, and much, much more - the list goes on and on...) and of course watch the 7th ODI between Australia and India at Mumbai.

Love yous all,
Norris
