CAPTAIN McCHEESE NAILS HOLE IN ONE
The Fatherses loss on Tuesday was unarguably attributed to CAPTAIN The Mayor using up all his luck earlier in the day with a hole in one on the Capital 18th (unwitnessed, unrecorded and unconfirmed) but nonetheless eloquently and magnificently recounted by the Captain in the carpark. McCheese didn’t care because he TOP SCORED with the bat with 27 (not out)
and returned a +2 contribution in a side that was net negative -126.
SNORKMEISTER DECLARES SHOULDER SURGERY SUCCESS
“Shoulder surgery, what shoulder surgery? Those guys couldn’t get anywhere near it let alone actually hit it! Eat your heart out Warney”. Snorkeyreturned BEST BOWLING figures of 4 for 13 despite Norris dropping his first ball for 7! “If I can get the bat to fire next week I’ll be looking for a decent A-Grade Contract” said the Snork brimming with confidence in the car park, crowny in hand.
COME BACK KING KERMIE BEST ON GROUND
In his first match back after a spell the skills were on display with an unfazed and nonchalant Kermie calmly collecting 22 runs and allowing a miserly 1 for 16. POSITVE CONTRIBUTION +8. “Ya I reckon the indoor form of the game is as pure as it gets. And with a match under the belt I
automatically qualify for encampment which is what it’s all about baby.”
Fruity Jam 195; Founding Fathers 69.
NADS 3 for 26 including a magnificent Jack Pot stumping (Gilly) and 20 runs off the bat.
NORRIS leaked like a sieve down the back but was 18 (not out) and 2 for 25.
GILLY 12 (not out) and 1 for 40! (How did all of Gilly’s run outs get attributed to Hugo?)
HUGO 3 for 16 with the ball and -12 with the bat. “If Gilly hadn’t run me out 14 times I would have posted a half century man.”
SNORKEY -18 runs! (Also run out several times by Gilly even though Gilly wasn’t even his batting partner.)
Consistent SAO was none for 17 from his first over and none for 17 from his second (and NONE runs from the bat!) (No thanks to Norris) “Again” said SAO in the car park continuing to justify his conspiracy theory (quite rightly).
Official Duties – GILLY’s exemplary car park catering (schmorgasboard!) under the well lit covered entrance to the Presbyterian Church. There were Burger Rings and McCheese was pleased.
LAST MATCH OF THE YEAR - COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE FOR ALL FFCC CHAMPIONS
This is traditionally a MASSIVE night – NADS hit a 7 off the last ball of the match TO WIN THE MATCH BY 1 RUN in the inaugural Christmas Eve match AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING.
A couple of spots open up for next week with Kermie declaring unavailability and SAO offering his spot if there is a taker out there.
Could Kylie make a COMEBACK to join Gladdy, Snorkey and Kermie continuing recent trends?
Has Itchy returned from the international lumber jack championships and ready for a match?
