| El Gringo and his new club mascot |
It's close season in Mexico and like Hugo Sanchez before him, El Gringo Nolan has returned to his home patch with tales of derring do to outstrip the bold exploits of Girly Bhoy and the packer from the banana plantation in Guatemala. So enthralled were his fellow players on Thursday at the PEC, that no one got close to the galloping goal getter as he scored with his first touch. It's true that Niall always brings a touch of class when he is available, but with six months training at altitude to support his undoubted natural ability, it required a finely timed kung fu kick from Blind Willie to bring the wandering Aengus back to earth.
Having brought a level of stability to the proceedings, the game ebbed and flowed like a calm sea on an evening guarded by a gibbous moon. With no sign of Girly Bhoy, to darken the mood, both teams tried to play a neat passing game to rival the heyday of Marty McKenna's Rosario tour team of 2010. However, living up to that standard required more than the size 10 scythe of Trevor the Chopper so it fell to Tipperary Nigel to provide the neat back heel into the path of Marty "109 to 108" Mulholland who gladly accepted the invitation to add another notch to his football bedpost.
The talk in the showers was of the injured Culchie, sadly missing since the assassination attempt some weeks ago. Girly Bhoy has offered his services as a bodyguard when the stricken striker struggles back to his starting spot. Not sure how that's going to work but I have heard that a Colombiana "reina bandida" has been sharing caring at Casa Girly Bhoy!

Another excellent piece of creative writing , the only thing missing was a detailed account of the goal of the season ( or maybe even decade !) by the Blogger himself . His modesty is only surpassed by his writing skills. For the record, the ball was delicately caressed into the top corner to bring the high scoring game to '109 each' . Keep up the good work !
