My Dearest Bashers
Yes I am returning and I wish for all the usual pomp and ceremony.ie name calling, immature toilet humour,urinating on each other (the inquisition),toasts for no reason other than to stand up and poor memories.
I am in town from the 17th to the 23rd and look forward to playing a game on the 23rd…captains please put me into a pleasure team if there is a place. Looking forward to checking out the new digs at the “Toe”.
Happy Bashers Day and don’t forget to have someone christened or ordained as it was sanctioned officially by the “Pope”. (more…)
Congrats on leading the team to the final.A momentus occasion in itself and just one step to glory.
As a founding father and number 1 I have a duty to send a message to the boys so please send the message on.Of course I played in the very first game this season!
Bashers
You have achieved what no Bashers team in its long chequered history has achieved by reaching the final and now you stand ready to devour the crown. And devour it you shall.
As the eternal rivals arrived at the field the temperature had reached a sizzling and sunny 5 degrees, well above the prediction of 0 degree.
Under new skipper Ian Syer and vice captains Steve Aikman, James Gooding and 2015 skipper apprentice Ed Molony, all of the Bashers turned out early for a net session that displayed their vigour and worth.
The Hot Dogs were slow on arrival and many of the usual faces from last year were working, traveling or injured. The bun had arrived without the sausage. However there had obviously been heavy recruiting done in the off season and the innocent faces of new dogs “Pups” showed up in numbers and took instructions from resident dog, Mike Tsesmelis, who was carrying an injury that has yet to be diagnosed. The Bashers, ever mindful of a wounded dog were keen to start the season (albeit a scratch match) with a victory against the team that had caused so much pain and anguish to them the previous year.
