B's Go Down.


Steven from Dunedin once said "You don't know what you've got til its gone!!" during the "Free Sue Bradford" rally of '89. And the birthday boys words were ringing true in One touch's head five minutes after half time when Sandridge slotted two goals in quick succession. Big Nige was on the sideline having the mandatory half time smoke and the B's defence which was rock solid until halftime was showing signs of lacking direction in the middle of the park. After a very impressive first half the strikers were up 1-0 from a very well directed shin from Norts, who is showing good early season form with last years second top goal scorer One Touch not been able to find the back of the onion sack as of yet. A strong game from Scotty at the back earned him the complimentary player of the day jug from Bills Bar & Bistro (On Lincoln Rd open on ANZAC day from 2pm). It was a good showing from the Strikers after hearing conspiracy theories all week from Hoffa who was filling the boys up with shit about Sandrige beating Real Madrid and Barcelona the previous two weeks. There is a theory going around that Hoffa has an "imaginary" friend called Jon, who a couple of weeks ago also gave him tickets to a corporate box at Jade Stadium for a Crusaders game. The Strikers had about the same amount of luck as a previous owner of the Red & Black TAB franchise, missing penalty shots, Bones getting out of the way of a shot from Sandridge for Unco who thought bones was getting it?, Fonz being unavailable and Big Nige not being able to kick the smoking habit.

Highlights

1. Hoffa grabbing a rare headed goal.

2. One Touch's bird washing the tops for the boys, for no reason.

3. Tony Willets showing up when his twin brother couldn't make it due to a Sunday roast.
