Anyway it was my first time watching women’s play and I have to say that I was very impressed. Well done Saracens!
We took the opportunity to take photos of the girls with the team sponsor, Amanda Squires, who as you should know is a member of the Saracens Alumni, and the successful coach Rob Brohman who I think should have both hands in front of him for pictures.
Note, Amanda’s day wasn’t all fun. I saw Keith Hancock and Brian Smith talking to her in the bar and it looked like she couldn’t get away. You just can’t have it all. (Is that Malcolm in the back?)
Hey, that’s a lot of experience watching the Saracens First. Al Graham, Bill Johnston,
Geoff (The Yorkshire Ripper) Ash and Bob Thomas. Four very good players in their day react to the referees call which as you can see was not popular. Geoff passed on a comment to the ref right after this photo.
Other notables who were there (please forgive if I missed you but the memory is shot) Rod Thorne, Roger McEwan, Gary Loader, Ian McCreath, John Lambert, Keith Hancock, Mel James, Mike Dwhytie, Owen Santilly, Steve Thorndyke, Steve Townend, Kelvin Christie, Duncan Page, Rob Roland, Gina Minutillo, Angie Brown, Martha Perry, Ben Perry, Amanda Squires, Andrew Wright, Bill Gragnoli, Brian Smith, Chris Bemrose, Chris Hoskins, Chris Rideout, Pat Russell. (Owen where's Malcolm is he on the other side with the coaches?)
Some of us have grown up. Some of us have grown so old we've gone off but none of us can claim to be mature, as demonstrated by Roger. Rod looks perplexed because his cup is empty and Ian loves flashing those teeth. Sorry Kel I know this is not your good side. I did think about the right but when I looked at it I thought what the heck ! Anyway I did get your picture on the blog. (Owen. Do you think Malcolm is still watching the women? ( Owen: No they will be in the changing room) I know but is he still watching them?)
Anyway we all had a great day and more than one old player said that watching the game makes you want to play again. Thank god that we will be sober in the morning. When I said we all enjoyed the game I want to point out that Chris is actually smiling here. He also e-mailed me thanking me for setting up the day and planning on coming to the next one.
I know it looks like Roger is stuck in this position and he has obviously forgotten “That You Don’t Mess Around With Rod Thorne”
Although Rod has emptied all the cups, he can still demonstrate that he can touch his forehead with his finger. No Rod I said forehead! (WHAT MALCOLM DIDN’T MAKE IT! Well at least he hasn’t got my sweater. Is he ill, dead or what?)
We are playing June 16th and 23rd also at the Square. If you have the time drop by and give some support. I plan on attending on the 23rd against Brantford.
But don’t forget the next game where we want a big turn out is July 21st. I’m hoping to have a raffle to raise some money for recruitment and I’m thinking of offering Hair Transplants, Liposuction or a Sex Life as prizes. If you have an idea pass them along.
Cheers
