Curtain raiser


The curtain raiser to today's Olympic-Uni Stallions match will be a code switcher, as the Stallions cricket team face off against each other in a game of backyard in honour of the greatest supporter any team in any code in any grade has every seen. Fashie of the motorbike and tui and gray mullet and immortal 'Aaron bowls pies' chant turns 60 - and what better way to honour the great man.

Its just a shame that Jules, who shares this birthday, is not around to share in the umm festivities. Happy birthday Jules, wherever the hell you are.

The site for this game is sadly not Kelburn Park, but Mount Cook School, where many battles - all won by Aaron - have been fought.

First pie bowled at 10am, any other Stallions welcome to join in. Its damn early and late notice of course, but what the hell ...

May the best stallion win and then get a hatrick.

Oh yeah, and we are going straight to the soccer game - so no Aaron , Mike and Graham (Robin?) at KP.

Too easy. Youth wins the day.

Nice running around out there today though, Ponies. I especially enjoyed the Crab's contribution- comedy gold.
