When Flipper met Flopper

After a three week sabbatical, everybody was straining at their waistbands to get the 2009 season under way. We even had an argument about the rules before we started! The game finally kicked off, and after a bit of nip and tuck, the evil Gaylords were two up, before we rattled in a couple of our own to re-establish parity, and then edged in front ourselves. They scored, we scored, and then disaster. A fifty fifty ball was there to be won, and as King Daves size 10 Flipper stretched out to be met by Shoutys size ten flopper, there could be but one outcome. Unluckily for King Dave it was his flipper which buckled, and his 2009 campaign was sadly interrupted. He had to take his leave, and with the game reduced to 5 against 4, the decision was taken the game would not count. I reckon they might have changed their tune had they won, which after a whole hearted effort, they nearly did. Of course, we should have taken it more seriously, but I just can't resist the chance to slip a MoFo member the pig, and our effort was half arsed to say the least. So no result this week, and hopefully we can finally get '09 under way next Wednesday.
