Founding Fathers run amok in double header double victory

A slick, six man Founding Fathers outfit ran amok in C-Grade at the WICC
this evening smashing the competition to smithereens.

"We were smokin' with the bat tonight" said Captain Nads (7 wickets) who
amassed 84 runs and took a scorcher in the nether regions from an over
exuberant Singer. "And with the ball, well, Norrisses' 12 wickets were
simply mesmerisering." Norris was out just the once for his 45 runs.

"When you've got blokes like Gilly who can deliver the goods with the
gloves and bat in four partnerships and bowl 5 overs you really don't need
8 players." Gilly quietly compiled 57 runs and took 7 wickets with a
clever combination of slightly over pitched deliveries and double
bouncers.

Harmy certainly didn't disappoint either with a plethora of boundaries in
74 runs and 5 wickets including a spectacular stint as part time
wicketkeeper.

Singer was the pick of the fielders and also blazed away for 72 runs with
the bat. He was unlucky with the ball taking just the two wickets. But
the batsman had no interest in seeing Singer bowl the extra overs and the
same was true of the blistering paceman Hugo who only took the one wicket
but was prolific with the bat tallying 63 runs.

The C-grade cellar dweller Founding Fathers SIX accounted for top four
side Polar Bears 209 - 92. The Fathers backed that up with a 184 - 146
victory over the top of the table Dwayne Leverock Spastic Association
Lookalikes and siezed the moment with a couple of settlers while enjoying
the batting. The Fathers have hit a rich vein of from at the business end
of the season and have declared finals intent beating three top four sides
in as many matches.

"I think six is just about right" Norris said to the press gallery after
the double header double victory. "If you look at the style of cricket we
are playing right now I think the extra two players may cramp us up a
bit." "Besides, the beers go a bit further in the carpark - the rest of
the blokes are a bunch of pooftas and are barely fit to carry the drinks"

Singer kindly offered to ice Nadses bollocks in the carpark to a chorus of
rauccous laughter and beer boy Nads barely crept away into the evening
esky (and jewels) intact.
