Having put Nic's stats through my bespoke analytical software I am struggling to come up with interesting new facts from the Lions' performance on Wednesday. However, one cannot fail to notice that our pride crushed our arch enemies from Booker, the league leaders, in front of a gallery of expectant tourists.
Our 2 dominant males led the pride out with crushing defeats of their foes. To be fair, our All Black lion was pitted against a cripple, & our Red Maned lion was up against a mere cub! 3-0, 3-0
The lioness's came out to play this week.
1) Matt (unpredictable adolescent lioness) won! 3-0
2) Nic (long in the tooth, thinning haired lioness) won a 5 setter!
3) Dirty Dan (temperamental, frequently aggressive lioness) won in less than 5 sets! 3-1

Chris G:
Congrats and an all-round better showing than the listless showing of the seconds who were unable to pull a win out of a 4 man Booker!!!
I personally have tried to blame various injuries but probably have to face the fact that I am just crap.
Some honour for the club is restored for which I thank you all.

Dirty:
I might add their no5, like me, was playing out of order and was easily their 2nd best player (unlike me, 4th at best) having duffed up Davies and Cooper for a handful of points in recent Div 2 outings.A 19-3 defeat of the league leaders will certainly spice up the title race, reversing a 19-1 drubbing they inflicted on us pre-Xmas.
Unfortunately we are out of the title battle but should be aiming for 4th place from our current 6th.
The evening was so nearly complete when a slightly tipsy Jo S asked me for a lift home. Happy to oblige I was anticipating a special 'reward' for my long suffering service as club capt, however, she jumped out the car quicker than CK grabs the rice, treasuring Piggin's sports watch and dreaming of their Sunday training session...
