March of the Lions

Thumbs up for Magic - not a lot!

I was reminded this fine day that we have reached the cusp of Spring and March is upon us - thank you Mark. There is a proverb of sorts that says March "comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb". This analogy could be applied to the teams performances on the last day of February as the lions of Kev's team leapt over Ron's lambs.


Excuses could be made for the slaughtered lambs (Ron, Sean and Noel all carrying injuries) and Nazi Gaz out to add to those injuries with his gung ho approach to subtlety. However, there was no answer to the fancy footwork of Magic McCloskey as he danced through the ailing plodders to bring a ray of light to this darkest of nights at Lough Moss.


Girly Bhoy found himself on the winning team but I fear to report that he was unable to score, his Grinder account having been shut down due to overuse. He is hoping to tackle some yummy mummies when he visits Benedict's on Mother's day while the rest of us attempt to play in the Orangefield Challenge match at Aquinas, 1.30 kick off. The string of injured players are expected to support what is left on the pitch with tea and scones available post match at Cregagh Sports Club where beer is also on offer at rock bottom prices!


Finally, apologies to Ultan whose name I have spelt incorrectly since day one. It is not often that I find myself apologising to Ultan but since he is a giant, I thought it best to make this correction public before he had another chance to kick me up and down Lough Moss like a ball of old socks!
