Let the preseason begin (and end)

Tim: Well if there was a pony I'd get it for snotting an own goal better than their strikers and getting in trouble by offering up a facial for the twat that banged the ball on my head after I clattered into their number 4.

Now I know why people get called 'Old sods' (slow old dangerous). Ruined Gus's clean sheet too.

Fallen homies

Another trip to the casualty ward for Stallions - this time poor Mike B, who courtesy of a bicycle on car has a broken arm amongst other injuries. Hard luck Mike, terrible timing with the new job and of course the new season, you will be missed for however long you are out. Sad to think that the power throw in that so scared other teams may never see the light of day again. Won't stop the jinking surges through the middle of course.

In slightly better news Panda looked a lot better wandering around than expected.

Oh yeah, for those of you not at the game we were pretty comprehensively beaten, but came back damn well to win or at least draw the second half (I forget). Don't matter how many goals they scored - we had two potential goals of the seasons - huge strikes from distance by Rauru and Lachlan.

A Preseason of sorts

So the Stallions got together for a bit of a kickaround last weekend. I think the skipper should give us a honest assessment. How the Stallions looking after the off season? Sharp? Twilight boys carve up? Anyone looking like an early season bolter? Do we look like champions? More importantly, did we practice the Stallions kickoff? No pre-season Ludlow curses?

Screw You Raiders

The Uni Stallions have made an audacious pre-season signing - poaching one of the Raiders who carved them up last year.

While this player's name remains unidentified for legal reasons the above photograph may provide some clues - especially for fans of the breathtaking skills shown by the 5-a-side team Jules and the Stallions. This player top scored for the team, but is best known for lying prone on the ground after saving the penalty with his umm dangly bits, a sacrifice that got the team through to the grand final of the tournament. His contribution to the final played just minutes later was minimal.

The player is looking to renew his lethal partnership with J&TS, and the other minor Stallions who did not make that elite team. He is coming after Ben Hodges's leading goal scorer crown. His exact words were 'what the big, clumsy ape of a man who kept falling over his own feet - he's your top goal scorer?'

The above photograph may be deceptive. In 2 games for the cricket stallions this season, this player averaged just 7.5.
