The Players

Birty

First Team Captain, 2nd year he's done it so obviously not too bright. Likes drinking, girls, winning and macrame. Collects fluff and once appeared on Blue Peter after building a scale model of the Taj Mahal entirely from bus tickets.




Mike

Second Team Captain and long serving Secretary. Was a 9st long-distance runner until he discovered rugby, beer and Helens' cooking. Trained for many years as a Ninja and can still make people bleed at training by merely brushing against them. Uses radar rather than vision to move about. Main hobbies are worrying and sorting things out.





Stu

The quiet man of the club. Many members have never heard Stu speak, others have only heard his maniacal cackle as one of the opposition gets their come-uppance often BEFORE they've sinned! Hobbies include Tai Chi, as can be seen by the photo, failing HGV tests and being quiet.

Trish

More of helper than a player Trish deserves a mention as part of the inimitable Smith gang. Seen here stealing the opposition water bottles Trish often collects other teams kit for safe keeping - at her house. Likes to come on to give players a rub where it hurts even when they are not injured. Hobbies include shouting, apologising for shouting and trampolining though she now has to wear safety specs. as the bouncy bits keep hitting her in the face (when they are not in her socks).

Faz

Lives life completely on the edge. During the summer he plays full contact crown green bowls and is a feared adversary of many an OAP. Is definitely NOT going bald, sometimes he has it cut a little short and the hat is just sensible protection as his skin is getting thinner with age. A smooth operator Faz has the silky running and handling skills that many players can only dream of possessing. This is a very rare photograph as he usually running too fast for the camera.




Mat

Winner of the dirtiest underpants in the club competition 5 years running. Mat is world famous for his complete failures in Moose Hunting while on Tour. Despite cornering some of the biggest and oldest specimens he never gets to shoot his weapon as he invariably talks them into a coma and then refuses to take advantage of the situation.

Bommer

Clean living Bommer can never be described as big headed, despite evidence to the contrary (see pic). Awkward in company and suffering from clinically low esteem, Bom makes up for his personality shortcomings by working with Cubs and Scouts in his spare time. Would be an asset to the club if only we could bring him out of his shell.
