G'day Bugger fans
So another season of the BPL is drawing to a close. The Moreton Bay Buggers club has had some highlights and some disappointments during the league. It has been great for us to enter 2 strong playing teams into the comp, and i hope to see the buggers continue to represent in future leagues.
We have 2 teams in the semi finals next week, and due to a few interesting developments the Crusty Buggers will play the Fresh Buggers in a semi final. So we are assured of having 1 of our teams in the grand final in 2 weeks time, excellent.
On Friday night, thanks to the social committee (Ben and Wet Nose), we had our end of season social night. It was a pretty good night with Buggers from both team in attendance and in pretty good form. We hit the Embassy Hotel with cheap drink deals organised and a dance floor that took a while to get going but once it did - baby, good times!
A key feature of the night was the boat race to see who would get to wear their Blue buggers strips for the semi final. A worthy award and very well contested. Racing for the crusty team were Mike, Spinner, Manuel and Nandor at anchor. The Fresh line up was Ben Worby, Beej, Carlos and Jangles at anchor. The weapon of choice was schooners of Tooweys, the stage was set.
With Notty starting the race off like a cute girlfriend in one of those 60's type aqueduct hot rod drag races the Worby monster and I were off. Using his years of experience and commitment to the discipline Ben got a lead for the freshies by 2 or 3 fingers, Spinner then put the Crusty effort into gear and made good in roads into the fresh lead. During the Columbian leg Carlos "the dark horse" pulled away again and going into the final pair of drinkers Jangles might have had 2/3 seconds and 3/4 fingers head start. Enter the Locher!
Nandor smashed down that long glass of beer like he was hucking a forehand out of a zone - quickly and accurately. That drink disappeared in impressive style and the Crusty team was victorious. Blue shirts on Thursday Crusty boys! It was all very fun and I think we all enjoyed it (after our heads stopped hurting that is).
Plenty of frisbee was talked, lots of tidy dance moves were executed and as far as i'm concerned good times were had by all. Thanks Ben and Wet Nose for getting the night sorted - it is great to get all the Buggers together for a bit of raucous action from time to time.
Thanks for a good season teams, play well in the semi this week and starting thinking about what you want to achieve with your Bugger team mates next year.
