thanks, pringle... great job...

short match report... dees 18.17. 125 def. blues 7.7. 49... goals: scotty(4), heater(3), dazzledavey36(3), doggo(2), wise(2), bennythejet, tassie dee, nathan (tassie dee's mate), funky41... best: doggo, dazzledavey36, bennythejet, scotty, heater, charlesy, wise, tassie dee, demon tingles, 45hotgod, swooper, mclean4brownlow...(apologies for any others who should be named)... vin cattogio award (for best dees player) shared between doggo and dazzledavey36... headlines: - matthew, tassie's mate, was deservedly sent off for bad-mouthing the umpy (he did apologise)... - dazzledavey36's long-awaited first game for us, hope it's not his last... - the opposition had some quality players, but they were overwhelmed by our classy midfield and relentless running game... - whispering jack and pringle did a great job with the coaching/rotating the bench role... - thanks to jo, our only ever female player, who ran the boundary for us... - many thanks to dee knees, who came through with bulk extra water again... - last game, we gained funky41's group and this time we saw tassie dee's group join our list, making us a hard team to beat... - tassie dee's group hail from demonology, giving the demonology site a slight hold on the naming rights to these inter-forum games... congratulations and thanks to all players and helpers...
