Pleasure Lumberjack: Pleasure v Leopards, Sept 11

On the anniversary of September 11, the Pleasure, pretty much on time at the ridiculous time of 6:37am Sunday morning, met at The Camel ready to tackle the Leopards and get some payback from our Muslim friends.

Pleasure Report: Bashers vs Pudong

With the end of the season in sight and still well in the hunt, Pleasure assembled at the Camel on Sunday morning ready for the rubber match against Pudong Power. Skipper Bugs expressed his concern that one of the two debutants had failed to show up, and upon noting that the Hot Dogs also rendezvousing at the Camel ahead of their match at Dulwich had only had three members total, proceeded to talk them out of the luxury bus, guaranteeing the Bashers a comfortable ride to the SRFC.

Leisure’s Tale of the Tape

After arriving early for a first time and being introduced to a "must win" match. Woodstock had his back in a bad position last night so he could play today. With two players short, the Skippy Mr. chirp-a-lot Parrot started recruiting players in his very confidential and top secret techniques. After finding Filthy and Birdshit we started play in a cool and windy morning. Skipper set the field using his famous scatter technique.

Butthole’s Day – Pleasure Vs Devils Doosra

A fine day it was this Sunday past, when from various modes of transport the Pleasure lads congregated around the kiddie pool to witness Birdshit bathing in a costume that Mrs Birdshit should only have to see.

Lumberjack – Pleasure v Hotdogs

It was a must win game to keep the Pleasure's final hopes alive, facing off against the old enemy DPR Hotdogs. With half the team participating or directly assembling at the SRFC, the bus ride from the Camel proved uneventful.

Pleasure Lumberjack: Bashers “Swoop” of a Day…

Arriving at the SRFC with Tiny by an alternative transport than the early bus, the Pleasure boys were already at the ground and going through the usual preparation for the big game smoking, eating, scratching private areas and talking about the vague memory of the night before.

Business vs Pudong Lumberjack, Aug 14th

Half the team met at the Camel with the usual late arrivals, and the other half at the ground with the usual late arrivals. All honourably fined later. The Camel was encircled in rain however hopes were high that the threatening weather would stay clear from the pitch so there was no repeat of last weeks draw. This was a game the Business boys needed to win to stay in the hunt for a semis birth. Considering no one really wants to know about occurrences at the Camel or cares about the usual debate and banter on the bus, let's get straight into the game.

Leisure Lumberjack.

The day started well, with everyone on time for the bus except for Puberty and Sharapova and Shears and Parrot.

Lumberjack – Pleasure v Devils Doosra – The Good, the Bad & the Ugly.

The signs were there early that it perhaps wouldn't be the greatest day. I did a quick pre alarm time check only to find that it was 7:20am and I was due at the Camel in ten minutes. Once the panic had died down and I was on my way, I found I'd set my alarm for 7pm instead of 7am. Shit! All I could rely on was Sinbad being late also and with more consistency than a Basher batting collapse so it was: the bus was still there and Sinbad wasn't (apparently the fault of the red taxis), but regardless, my first Basher Lumberjack was assigned.
