After 5 weeks without touching, the men are keen to get back to the fields of Narrabeen this fine evening.
I'm FMJ and I am writing to you from 2,800 kilometres away at a reading of 16.9256S, 145.77563E where I am attending a touch football conference as the keynote speaker.
My speech brought rapturous applause as my topic was on the running plays of the great Touching team of 2010 and how they have improved with the guidance of key player recruiting. I also touched on some key winger defence lapses and how we overcame those. I went into great detail with PowerPoint presentations. I even ran a few impromptu plays with the crowd. You know...audience participation. That really got things going.
I must say some of them picked up the outside back defensive techniques a little better than others !!!!
But turning back to the northern beaches, tonight is all about courage under pressure with the Touchers needing to call on that inner grit as they will be down in numbers due to SuperCoach struggling from an injury he suffered in week 1. It turns out that the mad man has been playing his best footy with a shoulder that is being strapped together with duct tape and some sort of putty he mixed together with Corona and stuff from a building site. The smell is quite pungent.
The Touchers will also be holding an inquiry during the mid-season Christmas break into the broken right scaphoid bone in the hand of the Rookie. The zephyr flyer went on a 3 week adventure in what was supposed to be a fact finding mission but he was caught out when he crashed on a mountain bike in the last leg of a 5 day trek through the hinterland of California.
The story has been passed down to me that he was launching off a cliff face when all of a sudden a grizzly bear flew towards him. Whilst he avoided the grizzly it was upon landing that he tried to dodge a poor little kitty cat and his wheel dug into the ground. In scooping up the kitty cat he landed on his drinking hand and snapped the bone.
The wing man appears to be recovering nicely.
So the team sheet looks a little like this going into Round 9 in their clash with the Tough Lollies who sit just 1 win back on the table.
Chairman, VC, Locksmith [TBC], HOF, Milt, BBB, Jonty, B1, B2.
Milt is calling out for an old colleague. With the last name of Marks I am reliably informed that his monicker is 'Skid'.
As I won't be there to cause any trouble I will either pass the baton to another scribe to report on the match activities. Or someone can just send me some key points and I will embellish from there !!!!
The Christmas season is upon us and the upcoming schedule of games, parties and store appearances for book signings is jam packed.
3rd December - Game is on
10th December - Game is on. This is the last game until the 21st of January 2014
20th December - Jacketts of Terrey Hills Christmas Party.
This may include a pre-judging of the Christmas Day lawn judging competition. I have been working hard and this is what our lawn looks like at this time.
Its been a lot of hard work.
The day of judging is yet to be confirmed as the VC tore up his and the Locksmiths lawn in a late attempt to seal a win and will need every day up to the 25th to get his lawn right.
It turns out that the green keepers at Terrey Hills public nine hole course told him that this technique along with lots of cow poop will ensure him victory. Others are just saying its been a sabotage attack.
Well I must get back to the conference. Today I am holding break out sessions on structured plays to open up the defensive lines on the right and left hand sides of the park. It should be riveting for all.
Yours in need of another coloured drink with an umbrella
I'm Full Metal Jackett
