By Johnny Scoop in WestonGreg Chappell's anticipated departure from the Founding Fathers Cricket Club was confirmed last night when president Norris 'Norro' Norrismeister announced that he will not continue at the WICC next season. The new first-team coach will be former star fielder and current B team boss Freaky.
Chappell's departure comes after a disastrous second successive season without a trophy.
On Tuesday night, The Founding Father's misery was complete when they were forced to play two semi-finals in a row, and then stole defeat from the jaws of victory.
Forty fans jeered the players when they arrived back at the Cooleman Court carpark, while the Cooleman daily, Indoor Cricket Extra, declared that many players "do not deserve to stay a minute longer". Major changes are expected but Chappell is the first casualty.
"I would like to thank Chappell for his work and behaviour while he has been with us," said Norris. "We will always remember him as the man who led us out of the National Indoor Cricket Centre wilderness to the promised land of the WICC. In the end he's won us nothing but hey, I've got a good feeling about next season under Freaky".
"We believe in Freaky to lead our revival because we think he guarantees the continuity of the same ideals that took us to success in the past. He is knowledgeable, full of confidence and has the blessing of the whole club."
