With temperatures dropping across the Sydney basin the Overtoucher's heated things up to finish the first round of the competition with a 4 and 4 start. This see's them sit high atop the competition ladder. Self doubt and anxiety was strewn across the faces of most players after the motion was carried to leave the warm comfy blanket of the Belrose touch football competition and take on the new challenges of open age touch football down by the dark and stormy ocean coast. The Touchers who mostly live high on the escarpment of Terrey Hills were demanded by the order of the committee to ply their trade at sea level.  With victories of 10-1, 8-5, 7-3 and 10-1 the Touchers have set themselves up as the team to beat. With good front runner form, the OT's go into the next round of games full of youth, vigour and Tooheys Dry in some peoples cases. In an attempt to throw off the OT's, the event organisers moved the fixture last evening to a new battle ground.  I overheard...

A cool spring breeze was blowing across the open plains of Narrabeen last evening and with it brought the return of two leaders of men. That breeze also finally delivered the Waratah and thus commission can be paid to BBB. Much needed with the summer fashion season ahead of us. BBB likes to be a sharped dressed man. The line up was a good one and needed to be. The opponents were also undefeated and had scored 35 tries in just 3 games and had only let in 9.  With apologies from Milt, Jonty and the Locksmith the team sheet looked like this: The Chairman The VC Supercoach HOF Rookie BBB B1 B2 [The Waratah] Note he is un-financial at this time FMJ Milt was called off to a sponsors function at the last minute. We hope Penfold's will take up the 3 by 3 year extension due to the big man's dedication to their products. The Locksmith was called out to catch a wild bear deep in the Forests of Duffys and he hasn't been heard from since. We hope the bear is recovering...

The OverToucher's are enjoying a well earned week off and it came at the right time. After driving through the first two weeks with convincing victories. the OT's have had the chance to re-align their goals for season 2013/2014. The core unit is looking for the return of key forces to help support the burden that was thrust upon them whilst the Chairman, HOF, B2 and others chose to either enjoy themselves or they had better things to do than be a Toucher. My spies have been out and about and been sent as far away as Germany to monitor how each player has treated themselves during the 14 days without competition. Jonty has been tweeting from within his hyperbaric chamber and told the world how he is enjoying the isolation of the chamber. I am stumped to know how he gets that thing through the armed guards at Optus's compound out at North Ryde. Bob the Builder/Rookie has been going through a series of drills that Supercoach and I have given him on how wingers should...

Under the gaze of the spring moon, clarity was brought to the park last evening. Coming off a big first round win the OTs took on a young band of kids with long full flowing hair, caps on backwards and bodies yet to be rattled with the test of time. The OTs don't have the flowing hair or the bum fluff of oncoming youthful facial hair. The OTs have oncoming baldness and/or the salt n pepper colouring of the remaining follicles and some of those are not just on their heads. The OTs have mortgages. The OTs have jobs that require more brain power than those needed to flip burgers or to be at the working end of a shovel. It's that kind of experience that only Father Time can lump upon a mere male that saw the OTs present the kind of performance that was seen on Tuesday night. The OTs drove the nail in on an 8-5 victory. Across the first two rounds, the for and against tally is 18 for and just 6 against in 60 minutes of classic football. The ole geezers score every 3 minute...
