Not so new.... 28th November 2008
1st XI snatch a slender win over Kynoch, undermanned 2nd XI earn an unlikely point at Bloxwich, 3rd's fall prey to Old Wulfs and the weiners play out a scoreless bore with Yardley, who after years of wishful thinking actually turn out in gold tops, making them Yardley Gold. Read about it here - Match Reports.
But the big breaking story is the shameful display of the 2nd XI last week away at Paris St-Germain. Their bawdy and ill disciplined manner during and after the game moved the home umpire to contact the Paris 'Journal Du' Jessies et Surrender Monkeying' denouncing our uncouth second string as bullies and strongarmed thugs!
The Journal ran with the imflamatory headline (loosely translated from the native Francais) "Heathens in the Halls of Heaven - Barlaston offend sensibilities and are a disgrace to hockey and life". The article goes on to quote Umpire D'licate, "Our poor young athletic boys ran into the machine gun batteries of the hun-like Barlaston defence and suffered like the young soldiers of the Somme. They were taken from the cradle to the grave by the oafs of this cursed hockey club. We no longer wish to associate with these philestines as their mothers smell of elderberries".
Monsieur D'licate is putting a motion before the International Council of Precious Sportsmen calling for the immediate cessation of diplomatic relations with Barlaston and for them to be cast out of the European League of Hockey Champions forthwith. When asked to comment on this perilous situation 2nd XI spokesman Mark Milnes commented "Well you know, we aren't too arsed really. If we do get kicked out we can just concentrate on nailing Tennents Super every Saturday afternoon. Everyones a winner with the Purple Tin."
We'll keep you posted on Monsieur D'licate's progress.
