Fathers push 'Juicy Ham' hard, get hammered

Butchers Weekly Gazette

It was a close-run thing against 'Juicy Ham' last Tuesday, but the six man (and one ringer) Fathers outfit ended up being hammered by 42 runs.

Nads and his men battled manfully, and pushed 'Juicy Ham' hard, but in the end 'false promises' and 'bullshit and bluster' were no match for basic cricketing skill and ability, and it was the 'Hams' who emerged victorious.

The Fathers started well and claimed their first major victory of the season, when they won the toss and elected to field first.

From there it was all downhill as the B Grade 'Hams' went nuts and slugged away at the hapless Fathers attack.

By the time the 'Hams' had finished with the Fathers 16 overs their score stood at a respectable 172. The Fathers fared a little better with the bat but by the time the smoke cleared they had come up short by 42 runs.

A day to forget in Fathers folklore.
