 20 brave indians took the pitch in horrible conditions at Hitchcock Park last night, in a night that was full of skill, drama and unfortunately injury.
Whilst the conditions for the KNOX style warmup were OK, once the game started the rain came down in torrents. It was the rain that had the British contingent including Pup, Just-In, Cowboy, Timmy, Ray, & Trollope licking their lips & thinking of home.
Deek’s team got off to an awesome start with some solid work by Mita, Mick (QF1) Watts & Sean Panambalana down the right flank resulting in two tries to the Dicky Knee of the Deekster.
Mid-match the ascendency somewhat see-sawed with Flynnies team, being revolutionised by some awesome runs by Justin, Colin and Pillow Ribs. On the back of these hard yards Dim Sim, Aido and Flynnie cut loose & a few quick tries all but squared up the match.
Trooper was unashamedly one sided with his refereeing decisions and Deek’s Team look forward to BOYO returning sooner rather than later.
Pup and Timmy continued to hit the line hard & are starting to show the signs that will result in a solid season ahead for the Nasties !
Timmy made some hard runs but let himself down with three dickhead plays which resulted in a prison term requiring one lap of the pitch, and doesn’t he need it ?
Whilst Flynnie, Aido and Dim Sim were combining beautifully Ross and cowboy were tenacious in their defence.
At one point a huge break by Jamie King resembled the Lions V’s The Christians as Cowboy cut Jamie down in a race that just simply wasn’t fair.
As the night progressed the ball felt like soap and both sides lost possession early in the count.
For Deeks team, Ray, Mark Hodgson and Paul were extremely tight and solid in defence. Mita was as nippy as usual hitting the line with speed & putting in the long uns to save a few certain tries.
Mick Watts QF1, sealed the match with some scintillating plays both scoring himself and putting the skippa over for the try of the night.
In our enthusiasm to get more out of the night, the “one more try” calls were made and unfortunately Darren Flynn, went down with a calf injury. Flynnie hit the deck like a sack of spuds and at one stage in the ANZAC spirit attempted to get up but was floored again. He was chaired off the field and we “Opus Day” catholics say a little prayer that he gets back to his best asap as he needs to ref next Thursday, before Andy lets him take off on Friday with the boys for a week of surfing in Samoa .
Dim Sim was heard to say that with Flynnie having 12 days off the grog a severe injury was bound to happen. It will be interesting to see if Flynnie can stay off the grog for the full 28 days of February, whilst away with the boys in Samoa . If I was a bookie, I would have him a million to one to stay off it. In fact I would have him a billion to one to have left the airport without a skinful.
Finally, in BOYO’s absence Cowboy awarded the GOLDEN BOYO to the Dicky Knee of DEEK who toiled all night in a scintillating 2 try display that in Scotties absence will see him and QF1 Tussle for the cherished Number 9 spot, and for his reward he will be forced to skull a bottle of ribena next week. It will be interesting to see what potion the Deek will attach to the GOLDEN BOYO next week. Will it be the lucozade, passiona, KB or some other weird concoction of spirilina ?
Thanks again to Dim Sim for the use of Hitchcock Park and as always Onwards and upwards
