Fines vs Olympic, Final Fines

Final fines, topped at $70, refund for Hodges, randoms dropped off the bottom. Make sure you bring fines along on Saturday.

Best fines vs Olympic:

- Graham - Multiple post pass calls: 'Who's wide?', 'Robin', 'Gus, oh Joe'.
- Mike B - ' I was never nutsed'.
- Mike B - Multiple nutsed.
- Mike B - Living in a fantasy world.
- Panda - Tough league player bullied by kids.
- Spencer - The pinched nerve.
- Joe - Tackling own team.
- Robin - those long underpants - uniform special.
- Paddy - Clearing Gus's oggie off the line.

Fines include those pinged for no goals all season.

More tables

Final end of season awards ... Well done Tristin and Paddy for cleaning up with MVPs, and especially Ben B - 3 Stallion performances. A few obvious irregularities - people who really should have more points than they were awarded. Good effort from Nick W considering the number of games he played.

Final fines to follow ...

Stats

For those people wondering how many games they did in fact play, here are the facts.

So amazingly I was the only one to play every match. Aaron and Ben were away for one and Jason kindly sat out once for the team.

Pretty good commitment all round really. Special mention goes to Nick W who payed full subs for only 7.5 games (More than you thought aye?). And Jamie, who I did refund some money, but he only played 4 bit part games. What a horror season for you mate.

Graham also was fairly low in the games played stakes, racking up only 9 appearances and on closer inspection he only once played 3 in a row. I'm not picking on you G, just pointing out the facts.

Late recruits Panda and Mike got alright value with 7 and 8 games respectively. Again, more than you thought aye Panda?

And our resident walking injury Corey actually managed 10 appearances, although how long those appearances were is another question.

On the goals side of things, Tristin finishes with an impressive one goal per game strike rate, while Gus finished with a respectable goal every 1.375 matches.

Last years golden boot Ben H, finished with only the 3 goals, but I'm sure he'll tell you he made up for it in assists.

Speaking of assists, I have a very unofficial incomplete tally (mostly only recorded what I could remember - so often just my own;)), but in case you were wondering this is how I have it:
Me 4,
Tristin, Rob, Gus 2
Hodges, Corey, Paddy 1

Now there's something to get you all fired up...

Outdoor Bowls End of Season

I have been holding off sending this email, hoping that we had another game this week. But I've been frequently checking the Cap Football site and it still has the old draw up. So we'll just have to be satisfied with an ultra competitive game of Outdoor bowls to satisfy our frustrations from what was an absolutely woeful performance on Saturday. Gus stretches out, while Aaron polishes his bowls

So it's all on this weekend, unfortunately a few of the boys can't make it, but as I said we were never going to get a weekend where everyone was available so I figured the earlier the better. Thanks Corey, Nick W, and Graham for being good cnuts and understanding. We'll be sure to drink your share of alcohol.

If anyone else suddenly can't come let me know as soon as possible so I can make a decision whether to postpone. Late withdrawels will not be tollerated, with punishment most likely being a visit to your house once bowls is finished.

The Mt Vic Bowling Club's green is unfortunately not ready so I have booked us in at The Park Bowling Club in Kilbirnie as they have an artificial surface. The only thing you need is flat soled shoes and your fine money. It costs $10 a head and they provide the bowls but that'll be covered by the fine money. 2pm bowl off.

Once we are finished drinking the cheap piss at the bowls club we will get a couple of taxi vans into town to repay the Bull and Bear's generosity. Anyone needing to get back to the Whanau can do so at this point.

Here is a map of where the bowls club is but it shouldn't be too hard to find, opposite the big Kilbirnie Park, I think it's close to the aquatic centre.

I'm not sure what the weather is supposed to do but hopefully it holds out. Otherwise we will still go ahead and it might just be indoor bowls, darts, and pool (surely they'll have all that) plus drinking cheap piss as we would anyway.

I am happy to offer a ride from town for anyone that was planing on it being at Mt Vic and are unsure how they're going to get to Kilbirnie. Let me know and we'll figure out a meeting place.

See you on Saturday.

A Challenge Laid Down?

From YF:

Yes somewhat regrettably we wont agree to a challenge, the Sealords firmly believe they are a side deserving of promotion into Capital 6 - albeit if we are the best or 2nd best in the league. And also just remember on H&A result we beat Magpies 4-1 on GD - and in fact I don't think there is a team that beats us on H&A result (correct me if I am wrong)

On paper and by results the Sealords and Magpies should be promoted, i would love to see Uni offer to have a final against the Magpies to decide promotion - however that probably wont happen will it??

To the magpies - if you would like a friendly this Saturday to fill in the empty spaces that the next month without Saturday sport will bring, please let me know.

Anyway to the rest of the league the Sealords would like to say congrats to everyone for a great season despite the weather...

Guess Who?

Greg, this is a forward defensive - its not that hard!

As Corey said, good luck to the cricket stallions as they embark on another season - but without IPL-bound Robin.

Be good if you cricketers kept up the blogging up, and we can inherit it off you again come winter. Our London correspondent can keep us updated on those mutant Northern hemisphere stallions, the 5 aside soccer team can chip in every now again (posts will go something like: 'Today Corey got injured', then 'today, Corey got injured', the next week - 'Oh yeah, Corey got injured'.)

So who will it be? Greg and G-Man, looking at you ...
