L-R: Ramones Umpires, Clem (?), Some bloke in a yellow jacket, Bob Log III
Beat on the brat, beat on the brat, beat on the brat with a baseball bat, oh yeah, oh yeah …
Yesterdays Sacred Heart Mission Community Cup was a game of two halves with over 18,000 punters, families, kids, dogs, three streakers (two male & one lovely nubile lady) and a mild two goal finalquarter wind. Bob Log III got back to basics by bravely struggling through the national anthem.
The Cup organisers took it a game at a time, by ensuring the beer was cold, sausages hot and the dunnys not as feral as previous years. One minor quibble, the Ramones umpires should of worn Skins, in keeping with the traditional image of pegged black canvas jeans. Sam Long held her own against a fearless Rowdy Negro. Now there’s talented young bloke to watch.
A special mention must go to PBS’s Adrian Maiolla for a inspired nuddie streak that included a stint afterwards while doing special comments on the boundary line. Will Maiolla savour his truimph or spend a week standing in a room of mirrors? All that was missing was a brassband (although Mach Pelican ably filled in that position) and the half-time blankie. And I worn my old Roy’s scarf. sniff
