Matty Mark Mikes' Swan Song

Cypress Hill once had a song called Hits from da Bong, and the Strikers were taking hits from the Brighton C's bong willy nilly on Sunday. After a good showing two weeks ago to battle out a 4 all draw the Strikers got off to a bad start. Hoff's old man Dave got the message mixed up captain Ron had told him about the early kick off on Sunday. Ron Said, "hey Dave can you tell Hoff that soccer is at 12.00pm tomorrow and not 2pm, at Sunnyside". Dave said, "right". Clear? Yip. Well Hoff got home from the working bee at the Hornby Junior BMX Club Tree House, where some bandits who ride mountain bikes had pooed under the pile of Pokeman trading cards they had been collecting for some time now. Dave siad, "Roger rang and said that you were playing Hockey at 4pm and not 5pm at Cheery Farm". Hoff said, "shit, how am I going to get form Kaiapoi to Sunnyside for a 12 o'clock kick off". Scotty rang Hoff on Sunday to confirm he had to bring his bird and got Dave because Hoff was at Kaiapoi. Dave said, "you are playing soccer at 12 o'clock at Sunnyside today not 2 o'clock". Scott said, "Thanx Dave, I will be there at well before 2, it is my duty to put the net up and I do not take that job lightly. goodbye". And muffled something about looking after the net like Peter Fatialofa looked after the Ranfurly Shield and who was Dave to tell him how early he is to be there. To sum up, Scotty was late. 

The game which was dubed, "Bring a bird to footy day 2002" was more like tripple m and twice the s day!! Matty Mark Mike was having his last game for the Strikers since been signed up for to a people smuggling company in the UK. Matty Mark, who for some people who don't know his real name is Mike. Has been a long serving and valuable member to the Strikers from the start, from contributing some well timed abuse on the field to providing the boys a house bus to stay in when accommodation was thin on the ground in Dunedin for a team trip in 2001. Mike even had the pleasure of leading the Strikers for the first 20 minutes of the second half, it took until captain Ron was back on the field that Mike felt like he could hand the burden of looking after the team to go and bang one home for old times sake. A bloody nice goal and all Mike. That was about it for the game, Norts goobered a few more chances, Nige confirmed he had about as much chance of scoring a goal as Matty Mark not attracting the attention of the nice wee Beagle in customs. 

Matty Mark we wish you all the best on your new found illegal activity in Soham of all places. If the people moving doesn't workout I hear Soham primary is looking for another Caretaker. God Speed my son.
